You seem very confused about how science is implemented.
The scientific method absolutely does not eliminate the need to trust scientists.
Have you even heard of ethics boards? Institutional Review Boards? The Hippocratic Oath?
You are trusting in scientists in the collective. You think that somehow makes the scientific method immune to the problems of human behavior. If anything, it exacerbates it, and it is only because of the diligence of scientists, almost completely orthogonal to the scientific method, that progress is made.
> eliminating falsifiability
It's hilarious to watch you claim this, while I've listed multiple examples of how we investigate scientists OUTSIDE of the scientific method. Corruption. Blackmail. Bribery. Because I recognize that we do in fact trust in the scientist, and I know that trust can be misplaced, I am MORE alert to the problems that can corrupt scientific findings than you are.
You would seem to be dumbfounded, "How on earth could TWO scientists BOTH be bribed by the same corporation?!?"
