That doesn't make it right, though.
Hard Science deals with the best descriptions available for reality.
Someone elses fears, even if they are a taxpayer, can be just as unfounded and irrelevant to science.
Halting scientific progress over an absurd claim made by folks ignorant about the physics - is Utter Nonsense.
