How the corruption of science has impacted public perception.

If Ron Johnson was president then our world would be a better place because he is fighting for the truth and he has a good heart!



Please listen to this when you have time and then investigate and make up your own mind.

I think Ron Johnson was too trusting of Trump when Trump said that he would reduce government spending and that's why he voted to progress Trump's Big Beautiful Billionaire Bill.

I made up my mind long ago about anti-vaxxer's claims and how they always source unqualified people's, unpublished, not peer-reviewed, not repeatable, pseudoscientific studies.

"For the world of anti-vaxx, the study presents a further big probem: if they accept its findings, they must also accept another of its results: there is no link between vaccination and autism. Will they now try to pretend that those findings that suit their ideology are real, while others that contradict their delusions are not?
 If this study shows anything of value at all, it is this: peer-review is an indispensible process in science. Without it pseudo-science can far too easily masquarade as science. We all deserve better than a farcical political theater to mislead the public presented by malignant pseudo-scientists and ignorant anti-vaccination clowns. We deserve rigorous science and reliable results that approach the truth as closely as possible. The “Henry Ford Health System Analysis” had remained unpublished for a very good reason: it is misleading trash that makes RFKJr and his minions the laughing stock of the world of science.
 
The result of all this, I am afraid, is rather concerning: consumers are getting more and more confused, and the discussions about vaccines get less and less rational. As an example for the latter, let me quote a comment on ‘X’ by Dr Aseem Malhotra (yes, the guy who I have repeatedly blogged about and who recently claimed that COVID vaccines cause cancer): “Is it time to arrest all those using the term ‘anti – vaxxer’ because it’s a term of abuse, especially when used to describe someone vaccine injured, or has lost a relative or a child because of it ? It’s absolutely disgusting.”"

The “Henry Ford Health System Analysis”: how RFKJr and his minions made themselves even more ridiculous

Every citizen in your country should be very alarmed because when vaccination rates decline, disease rates rise.

"The U.S. has more than double the number of measles cases it saw in all of 2024. Texas is reporting the majority of them with 505. The cases include two young elementary school-aged children who were not vaccinated and died from measles-related illnesses near the epicenter of the outbreak in rural Texas, which led Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to visit the community on Sunday."

The US has three measles-related deaths and hundreds of cases. Here's what to know | The Associated Press

What is it chronaut, no wall of text with super excellent edited links to the credible sources of information?

I take this as and admission, as in: chronaut has no argument whatsoever as to why big pharma and "peer reviewed research" are NOT corrupted and cheated.

Running out of gas mate?

There are processes of credentalling, peer review, scientific verification and repeatability that have been long established and effective well before YoutTube and other social media existed. It isn't perfect, but it is the very best that can be achieved in a systematic way.

I'd be a numpty to ignore all that and to fall, instead, for something designed purely to tittilate and inflame 'feelz', purely for the 'clicks', 'likes' and 'views' and the advertizing throughput they indicate (which arent any sort of indicator of legitimacy. Just because a billion flies eat $#1t, does not mean you should, too) and posted online from mostly unverifiable sources with mostly unverifiable 'alternate facts', themselves pulled mostly from unverifiable social media and other largely anonymous and unverifiable sources.

I tend to treat everything on social media as a lie until it is PROVEN, and this attitude is based upon my observation of the crap that is regularly dispensed on such channels.

Well said chronaut...

Every citizen in my country should be concerned that the makers of vaccines have immunity from any harmful effects of their product.

They should also be concerned the FDA rubber stamps anything thing they make.

They should also be concerned the FDA will allow deadly medication to stay on the market for decades.

They should also be concerned, the same people who gave drug companies immunity for vaccines. Gave them immunity on generic drugs. 

They should also be concerned that not a single drug maker employee/owner/doctor went to jail for the opioid fiasco.

It appears the drug companies can't really do anything without your government giving the okay.

Yeah that's why I said rubber stamp. There isn't much a billion dollar company can't do. At worst they may face some delays.

I wonder if the drug companies use bribes for key government personnel to get what they want.

If you got to put your money on it, a hypothetical bet, what would you bet on? 
key government personnel corrupt lying cheaters or 
Nahh it's conspiracy theories of the paranoid and non educated

?

Don't worry there's no real money or bet

So we can also be sure that there will be no money or financial records trail to uncover.

Of course they are taking bribes. That's what lobbyist are for. I imagine they also continue to get insider information as a bribe after they leave office. So long as they play ball.

Of course they may get cheated on that. Since they can't turn them in. It would be like a drug dealer reporting his illegal drugs were stolen.

But the drug companies are legal drug dealers. Kill 250 thousand "officially" with drugs, pay a fine. A street drug dealer kill one person and do 20 years at least.

Bribe doctors to over prescribe and prescribe unnecessary medication, pay a fine. No one goes to jail.

Yeah the public has no reason to be suspicious of drug companies and politicians.
