Did you know that there was a shocking
study published in the Public Library of Science Journal, that found “up to 72%” of scientists admitted their colleagues were engaged
in “questionable research practices,” and that just over 14% of them were engaged in outright “falsification”?
If that’s not bad enough,
between 1977 and 1990 the FDA found scientific flaws in 10–20% of all the studies they audited.
But it gets even worse; scientists
at the Thousand Oaks biotech firm Amgen, set out to double-check the results of 53 landmark published studies in their fields of cancer
research and blood biology.
What they found was shocking; only 6 of the 53 studies could be proven valid. That means almost 90% were
flawed, yet passed off to the public as fact.
In other words, there’s a lot of scientific bullshit floating around my friends.
This
becomes especially concerning when we consider how “science” seems to have replaced organized religion as the new authority that should
blindly be obeyed in many ways.
People speak of it as if it is infallible, and anyone who questions the high priests of science are
generally attacked, degraded, and dismissed as modern day heretics.
But science, just like any religion, is not a god that only speaks
unadulterated Truth.
It is far from being infallible and is constantly in need of being updated, upgraded, challenged, revised, and
changed, for the simple fact that science is subject to the narrow confines of mankind’s tiny flawed human perception; which is forever
growing and expanding — and easily skewed by things like prejudice, pride, and corruption.
In and of itself, science is obviously inanimate
and can do neither good nor bad because it has no mind of its own.
It is not a person, so we need to stop talking about science like
it is a super hero. It is simply a vehicle that requires a driver, and the destination obviously differs from one driver to the next.

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.

Marcia Angell, a physician and longtime Editor-in-Chief of the journal.
The following is from the Savage Plain website,
"Exploring reality first hand"
To blindly trust a medical professional (from any training discipline) is to relinquish responsibility
for your health and possibly your life. This decision is purely based on the assumption that said professionals know what they are
doing and endeavor to work in your best interests.
The bedrock of this lofty position of godlike knowledge and understanding is the Peer Review Process, which is sold to us as the pinnacle of scholarly fact checking. In reality it’s nothing more than ‘jobs for the
boys’ or as Ken Wheeler puts it…
"peer review means you kiss a bunch of ass-holes of people above you, you agree with their crap. And
all those people did, was agree with crap before them. It’s a giant circle jerk of stupidity, ignorance and hubris”
