You have utterly no idea what's even present in scientific publications. Antivax and climate change denialism are not rampant in published science. They're rampant amongst ignorant members of the public. That's not even remotely the fault of science.
And here's a summary of the current state of race science:
"Race does not stand up scientifically, period."

It's not never ending. We're very critical of the racism and sexism in medical research. And the younger generations of doctors are far more aware of it.
We used to butcher women in radical mastectomy surgeries and we don't do that anymore. We used to do medical experiments on black Americans without telling them and we don't do that anymore. For everything that you can point to as a current problem, I can point to another thing that used to be a problem and now has been corrected.
And still none of that has anything to do with physics, chemistry, materials science, geology, oceanography. You can't just say "racism impacts some sciences therefore we shouldn't do science at all"
Lord in heaven above, this child. You haven't listened to a single word I've said and you're just repeating yourself. Have a good night.
You're hilarious. Thank you for the entertainment. Have a good night
No I'm just amusing myself at this point because I can tell you're one of those people who needs to have the last word
