Scientists: "Here's a systematic literature review that summarizes the science, published by a well known organization that specializes in literature reviews."
MSM: "No, not that science!"
Hopefully this is the end of scientism. Sociologists like Harry Collins have been writing for decades about the social aspects of science, including peer review. The simple truth is that the research and publication process is riddled with human factors, including perverse financial incentives, fraud, ethnocentrism, gaming by elite institutions, political correctness, etc. There's a massive problem with replication like medicine and psychology for the precise reason that it is relatively easy to fudge data. One should assume that most research in those fields is junk.
Great to see the push back. The only science being shown to the public these days are exercises in political science = trust the narrative. Really. We are looking more like the movie Idiocracy. We might as well bring on the dancing nurses. (If the haven't succumbed to the vaccine side effects)
