So, according to the whistleblower, one must have politically correct thoughts held firmly in mind or the scientific method won’t work.

Exactly-

Science and ethics are used to prove to ourselves what we want to believe vs. telling us what we should believe.

This is the new scientific method: “I like global warming because it fits nicely into my paradigm. Let’s prove global warming is real.”

30 years later and there is no global warming: “climate change denier!!!” Objective science by professional international institutions, the government and world renown scientists.

I wonder, according to this writer, who on this planet doesn’t have an agenda and has no bias (people and institutions) and is thereby objective enough to write on this subject? Obvious isn’t it, only those that agree with him.

In the interest of transparency and to avoid potential and actual conflicts of interest, funding disclosures are standard operating procedure in the scientific research community, particularly when the research is expected to undergo peer review. The funding source should not effect the scientific method or statistical analysis of the results, but sometimes it does. For example, there have been several recent studies that have concluded that HCQ is ineffective against the Chinese Wuhan Flu and potentially dangerous. The scientific method for the study and conclusions could very well be sound, but perhaps HCQ was only given to people who were already in critical care as opposed to the first signs of infection. You may ask yourself "why?" only to discover that the study was funded by big pharm, Bill Gates, and George Soros.
