Speaking of Communists, this is probably the most famous case of academic fraud

But it was peer reviewed. By peer fraudsters.

Diploma mills. Many of those papers are nothing but crap from PhD students.

IRB are supposed to stop it, but they contribute to it since none of them will ever stop the money train from PhD students.

Gee, what are the chances that the medical journals our doctors rely on are mostly crappola from AI/Big Pharma?

Happens with some cancer drugs, too.

I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer 11 years ago. After 3 years, Lupron was beginning to not work. My oncologist and I started discussing the use of Provenge. I started to doing some research and discovered that the FDA gave it and expedited approval.

What I read was that the study indicated that average survival was extended from 46 to 54 months. Asked my oncologist how it worked and did it lower PSA. He said the oncologists at MD Anderson were not big fans of Provenge because the drug company couldn’t really explain how it worked.

I suggested that maybe the pharmaceutical company cooked the books. He didn’t disagree. My oncologist at MD Anderson is awesome.

I have responded so well to low level treatment, my oncologist has told me on several occasions that I will likely need any other treatment and will die of old age.

#3 sounds like when the FED chairman speaks. No one really knows what he said so they interpret it to mean what they want it to mean.
