If the premise was true that scientists would never offer a dissenting opinion vs. the consensus for fear of their pay cheque then science would never move from an old consensus to a new one.
However we can see historically this is not the case, science always (eventually) accepts new radical game-changing opinions, because the evidence forces it to. So the premise is false.
Science has proven it works. Some don't like the conclusions of science because it disagrees with whatever they've made up in their own brains out of ignorance, so they have to attack science.
