Maybe the FP will eventually get around to realizing that corruption and fraud are now the norm in "science" as science has been co-opted to provide the "evidence" to support the governing narrative.

Decision based evidence making, everywhere you turn.

In this updated piece Roger Pielkie Jr details how there are still 25 "science papers" a day being generated based on a ludicrous scenario for future emissions that was shown years ago to be completely unrealistic, RCP8.5. He had initially shown there were 17,000 papers based on this ridiculous premise, now there are over 45,000. So 28,000 papers based on a fraudulent premise.

So when you read nonsensical "news" about catastrophic future climate impacts, know that they are all fraud.

Continually amazes me that people here and on Public, Racket, etc rail about how government and MSM are all corrupt and you can't believe what they say regarding anything WOKE or censorship, but they publish an article referencing "science" that says greenland is going to melt in 50 years and we're all going to drown and you nod and says yes, OMG, ALL GOING TO DIE.

When I was in graduate school and had to read dozens of scientific papers to prepare for my own research, I was shocked with how many of them contained bad data considering they were all peer-reviewed. Came to find out later the "peers" were all friends with the authors of these papers and they were all convinced that their hypotheses were the correct ones. My own research and my adviser's research disagreed with theirs, or least proposed an alternative discussion, and they were all bitter about it and would come to my presentations at conferences to try to tear down our research in front of the community. This was in the physical sciences but it all works the same. Lots of agendas leading to lots of bad science.

Vinay is our truth teller. Listen.

Newton said he was able to make his discoveries because he stood on the shoulders of giants.

Today, science seems to be standing on a swiveling office chair whose teflon coated casters are on an ice rink.

Academia, even at the most prestigious institutions, has fallen flat on its face. Even in something so serious as cancer research. First, we had Suzy Weiss' article on how reputable cancer researcher David Sabatini was pressured out of MIT by a vindictive female fellow researcher, now we're being told that scores of published papers used false and even imaginary data. And the only reason they were caught is that the authors included the raw data in their papers. It seems the Ivory Towers of cancer research have been invaded by snide high schoolers, eager to pose as serious intellectuals and sly enough to hide their inadequacies. Just don't publish the data, and you're home free.

This article dropped off like a cliff...I was scrolling to read more. That's it? This isn't the FP's usual depth. Very thin piece.

The problems of corrupted medical research is profound. Pharma companies, and pharma connected foundations like Gates, etc. are the major funders of medical research. Its something like 90% of medical research is funded by the industry. Clinical trials in particular are expensive. The goal becomes to make the new treatment or drug succeed the trial. Covid vaccines! psychiatric drugs! You can't trust the research...

That’s it? That’s all the longer this article is?

This is a frightening reality; especially if you are dealing with cancer in your family, with friends, or yourself. I had heard this years ago when cancer research put all their money into everything but the research. I hoped that it was not true anymore. The truth here is painful.

I wonder how many of America's "leading researchers" or journalists or other people who engage in this sort of fraud vote Democrat?

I bet it is in a super-majority... but of course, THAT has nothing to do with this story...

I also wonder why the Democratic Party Rehabilitation Project (aka the Free Press) can't seem to connect its own stories to this most obvious fact. I wonder why Bari Weiss and her team can't seem to see why groups of people who steal money from government all might band together to vote for the group of people who promises to continue to steal money from the people.

I wonder why there is such resistance to real investigation at the Democratic Party Rehabilitation Project.

I have wondered for years about how there has seemingly been almost no real progress against cancer despite the billions of dollars raised for it over the last few decades. Too lucrative to find a cure?

The unfortunate losers in all this are the genuine researchers (if any) who are conducting research to find cures. I'm aware of radiothons, races, galas, etc., held in my City of Boston to raise money for cancer research. Now I'm questioning whether I should contribute to these causes or if I'm simply enabling some bozo with a medical degree to get his name on a paper or in a journal. Pitiful.

In the early 1960s, my dad went to go and get a masters. He ended up not completing the degree after he got into a shouting match with the professor/researcher whose work he was using to complete his own thesis work. He went and spoke to the guy in the lunch room to ask him, not confront, about the work he was doing. My dad had been unable to replicate the man’s findings when he would try to replicate his research experiments. The man blew up at my father in public, and threatened to discredit him and have him expelled if he questioned it further. Needless to say, my dad never finished the degree.

this problem has been going on for decades, so it’s really nothing new, nor surprised to me.

We should simply follow the leftist science. There is no way the leftist medical mafia will lift an eyebrow in the search for a cure to cancer. Medicine in the US treats symptoms. Diseases that kill us are self inflicted by lifestyle and the myriad medications many of us prescribed.

Leftism is the root of all that ails humanity.

This behavior has been around nearly 50 years, if not longer. The renowned Harvard cardiologist, Dr. Eugene Braunwald - one of the founders of the "clinical trials" racket - was involved in one of the earliest noteworthy cases: https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,955142-2,00.html

As long as there are excess $$ from government (NIH), medical industry, and medical NGO's (American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, etc.), fraudsters will be among the pigs at the trough.
