Unfortunately, even the scientists themselves get trapped in the corrupt system. I posted a comment on YouTube which came to me out of the blue but I think it's pretty accurate: Science has become too big to fail. Meaning, instead of admitting that theories have been falsified they are modified with ad hoc fudge factors, very much in the same way like how the scientists hundreds of years ago kept their epicycle theories going by making them more and more complex in order to make them fit their idea of earth as the center of the universe.
Today it's even worse. Special interests in the form of large scientific industrial complexes have become collective egos who need to survive regardless of the truth. And with truth thrown out of the window they are allowed to continue their mischief for maximizing their own growth and protection instead of serving the public good.
