    Nobel prizes in science are given for discoveries. Supporting an
    existing discovery doesn't cut it.

    I wonder why the antirelativists around haven't received a prize for
    *their* discoveries ;)

    Why indeed? Their work is far more important than a mere Nobel Prize
    could honour.

    And look at the recent Nobel for Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman for
    the mRNA vaccine while the inventor of the technology, Robert Malone,
    is nowhere to be seen in Stockholm. Oh wait, he was warning in 2021 about problems with the technology and that vaccinating *everyone* against a fast-mutating
    virus like covid (rather than the vulnerable) was against decades-old well-understood science? So he (a world expert on mRNA vaccines) was
    instead banned by YouTube and the pre-Musk Twitter.
