Massive Over-Certainties In Medicine: Bad Statistics, Bad Experiments

Ready to Follow The Science? Let’s listen to the lamentations of its lecturers and lovers.

William M. Briggs

The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.

Richard Horton, 2015, Editor in chief The Lancet

We earlier did an article looking into Horton’s comments. It’s more than half.

Evidence-based medicine is actually so corrupt as to be useless or harmful…

It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgement 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.

Marcia Angell, 2009, Former editor in chief New England Journal of Medicine

And how about this?

  1. Hospitals – where you go to die.

    There was a guy back in St. Mary’s County who DROVE HIMSELF to the hospital for some “routine” shit – they ended up cutting off both his legs – AND THEN HE DIED after being in a coma for a couple of days.

    Fuck that noise. Medicine is as corrupt as Academia and Politics.

  2. I saw Fauci do this exact same song and dance with AIDS in the ’80s.

    It was a lie then, it’s a lie now.

    The only difference is that Democrats didn’t own medicine then.
    Thanks to the unconstitutional Obamacare and the compromised Roberts, they do now.

    Medicine is just another institution the Democrats destroyed

    Stay healthy, folks, if you’re doctor hasn’t sold out yet, he will be FORCED to very, very soon, or forced to retire.

    No matter what happens, it will be generations before medicine can earn any trust again. If it ever can.

    Right now, all you can do is keep it to the big things, the things that will kill you if you don’t seek help.

    Other than that, try to stay away as much as possible.

    They do not have your best interest at heart.

    They exist only to serve the government that signs their paychecks and controls their licenses now, and trained most of them in wokeness instead of science, so they are both medically wrong and incompetent, and will poison you without hesitation if government tells them to.

    They still have to maintain a patina of healing, so they may still help despite themselves. But you have to WATCH them at all times and question EVERYTHING they do and say.

    They do not work for us.

    They work for Democrats.

    And in many cases, ARE Democrats. Affirmative Action and foreign born ones abound as well.

    Conduct any contact with them accordingly.

  3. In his farewell address, Dee Dee Eisenhower said:

    The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present – and is gravely to be regarded.

    Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

  4. Wait.

    You’re trying to convince me, that if the same — the exact same meat bags — that decide who will lecture about Lesbian Hate Studies, decide who will lecture about Soyance, that the results won’t be different!?

    That if the same — the exact same meat bags — that decide who will be licensed as a government Lesbian Hate Monger, decide who will be licensed as a government Soyancer, that the results won’t be different!?

    Why? That’s. That’s! MADNESS!!!!!!
