Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet, wrote that [2015]

“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”

I’ve posted this because it’s of interest - we can no longer trust anything of this nature being free of Big pharma influence.

Also, from 2009: “...Similar conflicts of interest and biases exist in virtually every field of medicine, particularly those that rely heavily on drugs or devices. 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.”

I do agree it’s a positive statement: “research should focus on identifying safe, affordable, and globally accessible drugs for treatment and prevention of COVID-19 in the community.“
