“We have peer reviewed, high impact editors in most of the journals that are the most high impact, saying that they don’t believe what is being published in those journals is trustworthy anymore.”
“The BMJ, The Lancet, all of those editors have come out and said, we have a huge problem. We can’t replicate this research and we actually don’t even know who did the research.”
“Everywhere we’ve looked for corruption, we’ve found it.”
Emily Kaplan, co-founder of the Broken Science Initiative.
This has been known about for a long time. Here is an article by John P. A. Ioannidis on this topic from 2005: Why Most Published Research Findings Are False. I cringe every time I hear someone refer reverently to ‘peer reviewed’ science. Foreign labs will do experiments for money knowing full-well what conclusions are expected. And plenty of lying happens in USA as well. The story of bad medical science goes back even further. Do a search for Marcia Angell and read some of her work. ABN
