According to our constitutional scheme, elected representatives are meant to carry out the will of the people. Regulatory agencies like the MMS, the EPA, and the FDA were established by our representatives to protect the people’s interests. They were not created to lend credibility to political agendas not otherwise supported by legitimate Science.
Perhaps the most egregious suppression of Science occurs when regulators and policymakers willfully silence, distort or ignore findings in fields such as Environmental Science and Health Science, effectively replacing the will of the people with the political, financial or ideological interests of another group.
