Seems pretty obvious what BC"s point was to me: you're selecting on the dependent variable. If one selects for "withdrawal of high profile medical study in a well regarded medical journal," there's no obvious correlation with anti-Trump bias or effect. There was, however, a plausible alternative explanation: a correlation with reliance on Surgisphere datasets.
As for the relative utility of science, when you offer up a better alternative, I'll be eager to hear it.
