The editors of the world's most prestigious medical journals are sounding the alarm, and nobody is listening.

"We have peer reviewed, high impact editors in most of the journals that are the most high impact, saying that they don't believe what is being published in those journals is trustworthy anymore."

"The BMJ, The Lancet, all of those editors have come out and said, we have a huge problem. We can't replicate this research and we actually don't even know who did the research."

"Everywhere we've looked for corruption, we've found it."

Emily Kaplan, co-founder of the Broken Science Initiative.

TRANSCRIPT BEGINS~~~

Emily Kaplan: We have peer-review, high-impact editors in most of the journals, that are the most high-impact, saying that they don't believe what is being published in those journals is trustworthy anymore, and no one cares. Now imagine if the editor of the New York Times came out and said, "I think more than 50% of what we're publishing in the New York Times is fake." Do you think that would ruffle any feathers?

But when Marcia Angell  does that, as the head of the New England Journal of Medicine, it doesn't even make the nightly news. No one is talking about it.

The BMJ, the Lancet, all of those editors have come out and said, "We have a huge problem. We can't replicate this research. We actually don't even know who did the research. In some cases, they're going back and trying to find the labs where the research has been done in Iran, or China or wherever - the lab doesn't exist.

So when I tell you that everywhere we've looked for corruption, we've found it, this is what I really want everybody to take away because it's not just health. It's literally, the corruption is penetrated everything.

Eons ago, there was a satire publication called the “Journal of Irreproducible Results”.

Unfortunately, our physician’s clinical practice rules are built around the findings of the major medical journals.

Most people regard whatever their doctor says as coming from the Burning Bush.

And America is sicker for this blind obedience.

On the lighter side, one shouldn’t have to be a member of the Peerage to review documents.

Since covid I rarely even glance at The Lancet or JAMA...

I think I would appreciate that magazine.

That is interesting to know.

Turns out is a naturally occurring chemical in whale blubber.

Too much of the current "science" also deserves the term: Blubber.

Reminds me of El RushBo and the "science" of oil spills. El RushBo often talked about all of the oil that naturally seeps from the ocean floor. There are all kinds of critters that EAT the oil.

During and after the Gulf oil spill, "Scientists" were baffled that they could not find a huuuuuuuge percentage of the oil.

Good luck ... it ceased operation years ago, but some of its content may be available on line or something. I just checked ebay ... some content is for sale there.

Thanks, I’ll see what I can find.

Peer review doesn’t mean what most people (and all democrats) think it means.

[vpintheak]

Agreed.
