Science is no different now than any other venture. Buyer Beware.
The corporatization of all fields of science is not different than all others like media, govt agencies ect. The onus is on us as individuals to sort the wheat from the chaff. No sense railing against it. (shrugging)
Correct protocols, long standing methodology, science papers are all available for us to research so it's now much harder to pull the wool over our eyes if we are willing to go that extra mile. In fact individual responsibility demands it, as we are responsible for our own welfare in this world.
THAT knee-jerk response despatched with, laughing!!
Caution is always advised, however knowing older standards of the minimum number of individuals needed for anything in trials to be valid, looking at the company & history of a new drug or treatment, reading the science papers, investigating everything may suck, be time consuming, but it's necessary.
When C-19 hit I was accidentally pissed enough to google how long long it takes to get a vaccine to market. Turns out 10yrs was the norm. On solid ground with that I did more research. You all know the rest of that story.
My standard response to any Doctor is don't bother prescribing me anything newer than 1960, or "You take one an if nothing bad happens to you I'll try it!" In reality Doc's just can't keep up with medical literature, are too young to remember epic medical failures, worse just no nutritional knowledge or understanding in the finer points of biological reactions. (read misfires)
Biofilm kills more people than cancer. Be nice if more internists knew about it.
Nutritional issues and lack of biological availability of vitamins wouldn't kill them either. No sense kavetching about it. You educate the Docs as best you can. You educate yourself as best you can. The overall crap medical system will sort itself out eventually.
It's our job to live till then.
