8 Top Leaders in Field of Medicine Say Don't Trust Science Dear friends, Science Not to be Trusted Why do these eight top leaders in the field of medicine say that the science is not to be trusted?
Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) - “It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4572812/
~~ Taken from this webpage on a U.S. National Institute of Health website Dr. Richard Horton, the current editor-in-chief of the Lancet (considered to be one of the most well respected peer-reviewed medical journals in the world) - “The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Science has taken a turn towards darkness.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4572812/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/bmj-fiona-godlee-science-1.3541769
~~ Taken from this webpage on a U.S. National Institute of Health website Dr. Fiona Godlee, 16 years as editor-in-chief of The BMJ - "It's estimated that 70 per cent of the retractions are based on some form of scientific misconduct. I think we have to call it what it is. It is the corruption of the scientific process.” ~~ Taken from this webpage on the website of the CBC (Canadian Broadcast System) https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/bmj-fiona-godlee-science-1.3541769
Kamran Abbasi, current executive editor of The BMJ - “Science is being suppressed for political and financial gain. COVID-19 has unleashed state corruption on a grand scale, and it is harmful to public health." ~~ Taken from this webpage on the website of The BMJ (formerly British Medical Journal) https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4425
Dr. Raeford Brown, chair of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Committee on Analgesics and Anesthetics - “Congress is owned by pharma. The pharmaceutical industry pours millions of dollars into the legislative branch every single year. In 2016, they put $100 million into the elections. That’s a ton of money.” ~~ Taken from this webpage on The Yahoo! News website https://www.yahoo.com/now/congress-big-pharma-money-123757664.html
Assistant Professor Ray Moynihan, one of the leaders of a campaign sponsored by The BMJ to separate medicine from big Pharma - “When we want to decide on a medicine or a surgery, a lot of the evidence we used to inform that decision is biased. It cannot be trusted ... because so much of that has been produced and funded by the manufacturers of those healthcare products.” ~~ Taken from this webpage on the website of the Sydney Morning Herald https://www.smh.com.au/national/cannot-be-trusted-causing-harm-top-medical-journal-takes-on-big-pharma-20191203-p53ggj.html
A group calling itself CDC Scientists Preserving Integrity, Diligence and Ethics in Research, or (CDC SPIDER), put a list of complaints in writing in a letter to CDC Chief of Staff. The members of the group have elected to file the complaint anonymously for fear of retribution - “It appears that our mission is being influenced and shaped by outside parties and rogue interests … and Congressional intent for our agency is being circumvented by some of our leaders. What concerns us most is that it is becoming the norm and not the rare exception. These questionable and unethical practices threaten to undermine our credibility and reputation as a trusted leader in public health.” ~~ Taken from this webpage on the website of The Hill https://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/healthcare/301432-the-cdc-is-being-being-influenced-by-corporate-and-political
Dr. Herbert L. Ley Jr, head of the FDA in the late 1960s - “What the FDA is doing and what the public thinks it is doing are as different as night and day.” He complained further that during his 18‐month tenure he had been under “constant, tremendous, sometimes unmerciful pressure” from drug industry officials. ~~ Taken from this webpage on the New York Times website https://www.nytimes.com/1977/03/14/archives/demoralized-fda-struggles-to-cope-some-top-jobs-remain-unfilled-at.html
