Is it fair to say: Just because a scientist says it’s true doesn’t mean it’s true?

Is there such a fallacy in which states that: ” just because a scientist says it’s true doesn’t mean it’s true ”?

Are you asking if the statement:

“Just because a scientist says it’s true doesn’t mean it’s true.”

Is true?

YES. Scientists don’t know truths. They hold (not yet disproven) hypotheses. They cannot prove a hypothesis. All they can do is disprove hypotheses.

And yes, there is a pandemic of scientists claiming truth where absolute truth cannot be known. Unfortunately, they get paid, and their payers presently demand fealty. In other words, one suspect group is raising suspicions on another.
