Cutting corners, fudging and selective editing of the data, unacknowledged ties between close family and/or friends to pharma and manufacturers, prior "reviews" for same companies that stand to make huge profits and the knowledge of more to come if the review turns out well....these are all problems that need addressed

I wonder how many of the peer reviewers would sign on if they were held personally responsible for the drugs and devices that will be reviewed? It's all a sham. Also, the way studies are designed can be manipulated to show results that they want to get. Studies of hydroxychloroquine were manipulated. It had been used to treat Covid to keep the disease from progressing to a point where hospitalization was needed. When used early it worked quite well. But studies were needed to show the public it did not work. So, it was given to patients that were already in the hospital and where the disease had gotten much worse and thus showed it to not work. This was a blatant manipulation that was purposeful. Had the same study been conducted when given to patients when symptom first appeared, the results would have been much different.
