The determination of what's real science or not should be largely left to domain experts. Randos online should have little to no say. This is how anti-vaxxers and creationists have such a huge presence.

Randos have no say. How are scientists even being influenced by them? Domain experts? Real science predicts the future, it either works or doesn't. Anti vaxxers are a different issue, I don't even think they deny the science and just want the personal choice to choose.
