So many areas we can point to now that demonstrate this phenomenon you’ve noted. Sometimes it’s inconsequential and won’t have any far reaching or overly detrimental impacts. Other times its consequences are outrageously egregious and the impact can be significant. How did we allow ourselves to get so this point where ideology overshadows truth? ☹️

I actually don't know. It just happened, long before we got so politically correct as we are now. It's antithetical to what science is. But I suspect the biggest factor is that those who don't conform to the "new way of looking at science" get cancelled. You lose your job, your license, your funding. Not fair!
