I went through the first 8 results or so, and none of them actually provide a quote of someone saying that. Rather, they seem mostly critiques of the mantra, which I assume was being used on Facebook and things at the time most of those articles were written.

Sounds like the error is yours. Trusting science isn't tantamount to trusting academia.

science is a process, not an assertion of the correctness of a certain viewpoint

'trusting science' is a paradoxical phrase, and when used in the context of coercing behavior and thought in a particular direction is anti-science, no matter how peer-reviewed and authority-supported that direction is

And when the process leads you in one direction?

probably a useful model in that direction
