I mean those things didn't change, it was just about how research was manipulated by money and human biases.

The truth doesn’t change. Scientific consensus does. Scientific consensus has been wrong on countless things. After all, science is about getting things a little less wrong every time.

Yes but science is a process, not a thing, and that process is corruptible.

There is a differentiation between the natural world for how it's made and the human process that quantifies that knowledge.

Science has always changed, just like human culture did
