indeed metmom. it’s a normal tactic for these health goons.
i’m reading RFK Jr’s book about faschi, big med, big pharma, etc. and it’s just shot through with documented accounts of these fake studies. for example, while big pharma refused to study their own drugs because they were off patent, faschi funded study after study to discredit HCL even going to the point of funding studies with borderline fatal dosing of HCL to elderly patients. this guy and these doctors and researchers willing to do this for grant money are monsters of the first rank.
I’ve been reading that book too.
It’s horrifying what has gone on behind the scenes for money.
