WHAT “Peer Reviewed” Science?

“Self-Serving” Research and Scientific Ethics…

By Ralph Fucetola JD – President, Institute for Health Freedom

 

The US Health Care system is in shambles.  Revising or repealing ObamaCare, by making the US system less costly, is only one of the issues, and not the main one.

Our US health care system is paying for expensive nonsense (chemotherapy, Statin Drugs, vaccines, mammograms, etc) , that has little, or no validity, and does NOT improve health.  Worse, is that what DOES work, and is far less costly, is suppressed.

One of the problems is that the “science” system we rely on to make decisions on what works, and what doesn’t work, is a bad joke, controlled by Big Pharma.

The “Science” bad joke…

Let’s start in 2015 with the then editor of The Lancet, Dr. Richard Horton[1]

“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.” Dr. Richard Horton[1]

There’s More…

But that’s not the only editor of a prestigious medical journal who has pointed to the obvious problems with the way “science is done” in the globalized economy.

Dr. Marcia Angell, a physician and longtime Editor in Chief of the New England Medical Journal (NEMJ) opined:

“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. 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”[1]

These science scholars, seeing the problem from the perspective of the responsible parties in science journal world, decry the lack of real science being reported.

How did the science become so distorted? What structural conditions have contributed to this sorry state of affairs?

There is a lawyers’ secret that may explain what happened to the science, especially with regard to health care. Let’s call it the “Crony Corp Square Dance.” It’s a way of dancing around legal restrictions.

The dance goes like this:


Step One…
do-si-do to the market researchers and find a potentially profitable medical condition.

Step Two… identify a patentable chemical that suppresses symptoms of the condition.

Step Three… run a pilot study on the so-called “afflicted” as Dr. Horton notes by the panoply of crony conflicts. Repeat as clinical trials. Remember to remove anyone who dies during treatment, since they didn’t complete the experiment.

Step Four… apply for a Patent based on the “sanitized” crony clinical trials.

Step Five… apply to FDA for drug approval based on the approved Patent claims.

And now here is the lawyers’ trick:

FDA is required by case-law to accept the approved Patent claims as “substantiated” and therefore meeting the legal criteria of “significant scientific agreement”.

“The science is settled” because a lawyer in the Patent Office said so.

Is “The Science” Ever Settled?


Why Should We Believe the Purveyors of Scientism?

So there it is. Crony corruption at the heart of “pure science” invalidates science’s claim to impartiality: corrupted legal standards, corrupted science methodologies and corrupted “peer review” reporting.

It is no longer possible to trust science. This is especially so with regard to such matters as the “safety and efficacy” of medical interventions like, for example, “unavoidably unsafe” and uninsurable vaccines, which are touted as “proven” to “prevent” disease when no such proof has been shown.

How bad does it get? Here’s one headline, with excerpt:

Lead Researcher Denying Autism Link to Vaccines Absconds with Funds and Disappears 

“The lead author of a key study used by EU and USA health bodies as evidence mercury in vaccines does not cause autism has vanished after it emerged that he fraudulently claimed 10 million crowns in funds from his university in Denmark.

According to a statement by the CDC, the researcher is Dr Poul Thorsen, who was also employed by Emory University, Atlanta…”

CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices Member Dr. Paul Offit

In another example, Dr. Paul Offitt, the leading medical ethicist at CHOP (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia) was allowed to vote on a US government vaccine committee to approve a vaccine drug in which he had a multi-million dollar interest. This same doctor says children can safely receive “10,000” vaccines.

Since there can be no true “informed consensus” in corrupted science, we must assert our universal right to Informed Consent.[4]

Where there is risk and uncertainty, the individual must be free to make his or her own choices. We cannot trust the high priests of scientism, or their political allies, to make those decisions for us.

Their corruption demands respect for our freedom of choice.

  1. Loving this article! I’m so entirely sick of ignorant pro vaccine folks saying ‘show me the peer reviewed study’. I want to say ‘stick your likely worthless, BOUGHT and skewed peer review up your ass cause that’s where it belongs!’
    I’m so sharing this!! Thanks Tim!

  2. Excellent article, Ralph! I’ll circulate it around.

    I would have put quotes around the word “science” in this sentence: “It is no longer possible to trust science.”, since what they are doing is not science but sciencism – the use of sciency-sounding stuff all adjusted and packaged up to support the patented drug Big Pharma is pushing.

    I think real science work would expose their hucksterism/con game right away.

  3. I’ve been practicing medicine for 42 years and have been telling my patients that “scientism” (a religion) is NOT true “science.” Some listened, most didn’t. it’s difficult to explain to folks the Dr. internet, Dr. newspaper, Dr. Time/Newsweek, etc. are bought and paid for shills for big pharma, big insurance, big hospitals, big government and big media. Medical practice is still a noble calling, but “medical scientism’ Is 100% BS!

  4. Real science does already expose it but the drug$-bought political media and the FDA ban that science from public view.

    Witness the FDA warning letter to the VitaminCFoundation.com just this last month complaining about their publishing of justly proud peer reviewed real science as well as facilitated quality assessed sources of their focused supplement.

    Compare that ban on quality sourced supplement sale supported by peer reviewed research to the commercial drug industry’s 24/7 advertising of bogus claims of peer reviewed science of questionable improved performance of the latest 2% success of their blackbox entry.

    The real science work does not succeed in this lawyer rigged and politician/media collaborated hucksterism posing as trustworthy overbearing expertise and massively backed up by our tax dollars, now attempting to withdraw our freedom and sane rights under threat of prison for resisting their terrorizing.

    Don’t underestimate the cabal.
