Of course views all mine. All without prejudice. Just a regular chap after all. Oh...and RT's may equally imply ridicule as endorsement.

      Try as I might, (and I really *did* try), I don't feel like I can let this thread go by on my timeline without comment. First things first, @Charbrevolution: No, it isn't polite to chase someone onto another thread like that. Especially such a serious one as this. >>

      Sorry for the hijacker, Will. She's a science-denier & promotes dangerous MMS "cures" people & she's following me about here attempting to harass 🙄 Hence her comment on my twt. She has autistic children but wants ppl to believe they were made autistic by childhood inoculations

      How interesting to hear you say that - thank you. I just found myself with cause to go looking for the science, (which I believed in), only to find there really wasn't a whole lot that would qualify as such in the medical field. Pharma especially so.

          The problem is that people assume science is a truth-seeking machine. Actually it is a consensus-building machine. They are very different.

          If I could frame that tweet, I would. Beautifully put. Call me old-fashioned, but I never regarded consensus alone as science at all. I recall the maths version: 1+1=3 because enough of us say so? Yeah...right!

          Thanks. In practice scientific 'peer-review' means a few Profs at the top edit (aka gate-keep) the journals and vet grant applications. If one wanted to influence the direction of science, influencing these 'key opinion leaders' is all one would need to do.

          That's a belief you & I share. The power is v concentrated. As in life, a few largely dictate the agenda to the many. Thread was long enough, otherwise I'd have looked up a damning review of the peer review system itself I saw recently too. Another gaping hole in the science net.

          Yes. And it's not just peer review. Even just holding certain opinions, about the efficacy of antidepressants or the usefulness of statins, or the safety of vaccines for example, are verboten in academic medical research.

          It's funny, even though there's nothing that really surprises me in there, to hear someone in your position express it so clearly, is very striking. Thank you once more.

          You're welcome. It's a strange double-think. Everyone knows, for example, that antidepressants are not much better than placebo. Yet we persist with the fiction that they work and write papers and grant bids that kind of implicitly assume that they do work.

          I must make clear that it's not malice or intentional deception. More a feeling that this is the best we have at the present time.
