Scientific Bias.

[swestrup]

In a not-totally-unexpected turn, it seems that clinical studies funded by Pharmaceutical companies almost invariably favor the company paying for the study. In a recent report it seems that 90% of the time, a head-to-head comparison of two drugs favors the compay paying for the study. This is even true when both company's have sponsored trials of the same two drugs.

The Scientific Method is, of course, a pathetic and laughable lie. Has been since the beginning.

And our good friends and caregivers the pharmaceutical industry has lies as the 98% constuent of its foundation. I've seen the studies; I've built the papers around them.

Sickening.
