I didn't say that being a scientist automatically makes you a fraud, there are many more examples of legitimate scientists that you could give. On the other hand, being a scientist doesn't grant that person immunity from dishonesty, poor judgement, biased thinking or incompetence.
If you'd like to use google, you can find plenty of examples of bad science. I have stacks of outdoor magazines going back to the 70's, they're full of articles, based on the work of professional scientists, beyond reproach, that warn of ecological armageddons, extinctions, and climate disasters that never came to pass. Science was always plagued by poor scientists, I just happen to think there's more today than in the past, fueled by today's hyper-charged political environment.
If you choose to blindly believe whatever some professional scientist shovels in your direction, that's your prerogative, I choose to look at things with my eyes open. The fact that so many professional scientists shout down anyone who disagrees with their findings, is a red flag for me, I'm not a lemming.
