Not at all.
Sir Issac Newton was a horrible character you'd never want to have over for dinner. He was kind of crazy too, believing in nutty things like alchemy.
And he made great contributions to our understanding of Physics.
And that's all science cares about. Science ignores questions of someone's character and disregards any crazy ideas to focus on what can be demonstrated to be true.
Character is irrelevant to what is or isn't true.
