Science is doing fine. This article was typed on and being read on a device made by science. You entire lifestyle is a thing thanks to science. Electricity, transportation, factories, airplanes, computers all work fine.
The article is not about science in general, it's about trust in public health officials and their policies.
The human body has an estimated 80,000 to 400,000 unique protein types, and the number of interactions between them could be even higher. The human body is the most complex structure in the universe, and understanding how it works is probably what we'll end up needing AGI for, because no human can grasp it all.
