There are a number of problems with science, as practiced and understood. One is that the direction it takes is often determined by people who don’t necessarily have the general population’s best interest at heart.
Two is that many ignorant people dismiss the reality of anything science is ill-equipped to study, even if these things are important to a balanced understanding of life.
And three is that much science is performed by people who have little empathy for life and are therefore willing to harm defenseless animals in pursuit of often trivial knowledge. That’s just for a start… Ultimately the quality of science, as practiced, is determined by the quality of the people who perform it, fund it and influence the direction it takes and the messages it sends out.
