If only "science" actually rested on method instead of powerful interests, intimidation of honest academics, and priestly dogma | SCIENCE ADVANCES ONE FUNERAL AT A TIME | image tagged in doctor,science,academia,herd lemmings,independent research,big pharma | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
I smell circular reasoning. It looks like this:

Don't listen to a person's decades of experience and expertise if they dare to contradict dogmatic orthodoxy, because they're not credible.

How do we know they're not "credible?"

Because despite decades of experience and expertise, they dared to contradict dogmatic orthodoxy.

Only if you ignore why they're ACTUALLY not credible: because they published things that verifiably aren't true. And I've been telling you for years that you have a problem with verifying what you read.

She's not the only one who's blown the whistle on the journals being Big Pharma's bitch (and other issues).

We disagree on how much info control is out there. It heavily boils down to that.

No, it heavily boils down to how easily you'll believe anyone who says "and I'm doing this to blow the whistle on Big Pharma". Like, that's literally all they have to say and you'll buy it.

Nope. Different info sources. Competent professional MD's. Putting the truth ahead of the control mechanisms.

But all the MSM has to do is say tinfoil, and zombiebots like you will buy it.
