Sadly it's rare science beats politics.
Usually a politician gets an idea might come from various sources but
usually some rich blighter they met at a dinner party that doesn't really
have a clue, just loads of money and serfs that make it for them. The
politician works on that idea, and arguments not with scientific basis, but
that seem plausible, and will be plausible to the public and boost their
political career, no sense of science, justice, right or wrong comes into
it.
By the time the scientist knows about it, it's too late, the politician has
self professed them self the technical expert among politicians and isn't
prepared to look at anything a scientist says.
We need to get to politicians before they get that seed idea going in their
grey matter, but sadly scientists live in laboratories and rarely get to
dine with politicians. We probably also need to find controversial
politicians with the confidence to stand up and buck the system.

Well done, and with ample justification, well grounded in knowledge.
Science deserves to beat politics.
