You can still always deny access to objects independent of our minds, but in doing so, you are necessarily committed to rejecting science.
Note Kant in rejecting mind-independent thing-in-itself claimed science is still a possibility as presented in his CPR and the Prolegomena.
Example:

Denying access to objects independent of minds do not necessary reject science.
If you still insist, show proof instead of making noises about it.
The main leverage of Science is on empirical evidences not on the thing-in-itself.
The thing-in-itself is merely assumed by certain aspects of science, i.e. Newtonian Physicists and not by all physicists.
Anyone can still proceed with science without accepting the assumption of the thing-in-itself.
Even theists like Newton who grounded his theories on God can still produce scientific theories which are acceptable by scientists and others.
Non-theists just cut off the God grounding and stick with what is required by the Scientific Framework, System and Methods.
The same cut off can be done to the Realist's assumption in Science re an independent thing-in-itself and the scientific theories are still valid.
As such the things-in-themselves i.e. things absolutely independent of human conditions [mind] are not imperative to the truths of scientific theories.
