Shocking Report from Medical Insiders
A shocking admission by the
editor of the world’s most respected medical journal, The Lancet, has
been virtually ignored by the mainstream media. Dr. Richard Horton,
Editor-in-chief of the Lancet recently published a statement declaring
that a shocking amount of published research is unreliable at best, if
not completely false, as in, fraudulent.
Horton declared, “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.”
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.”
To state the point in other words,
Horton states bluntly that major pharmaceutical companies falsify or
manipulate tests on the health, safety and effectiveness of their
various drugs by taking samples too small to be statistically meaningful
or hiring test labs or scientists where the lab or scientist has
blatant conflicts of interest such as pleasing the drug company to get
further grants. At least half of all such tests are worthless or worse
he claims. As the drugs have a major effect on the health of millions of
consumers, the manipulation amounts to criminal dereliction and
malfeasance.
