“I no longer have as much faith as I used to in either the medical establishment, or in published studies: it is dollar-driven, not really data-driven.
After fighting the clot-shots trolls, I tend to have less patience than I used to with people pushing the consensus narrative “because SCIENCE™!””
I actually agree with you on almost everything you’ve said. Politics and profit should have no impact on the outcome of a scientific study. Sadly that is increasingly NOT the case. That doesn’t mean that published studies are worthless, just that confirmation by independent researchers may be required.
Good luck getting funded;
or getting researchers immune from cancel culture to perform it (or an institution for the work to be performed at); or an IRB to approve it; or a journal to publish it.
Without, you know, simultaneously publishing a dozen junk studies to deBOOONK the “disinformation”™.
