How a real scientist can make a difference. Eventually.
Opinion: Misleading Drug Trials Amgen’s incomplete report on an early major trial of epoetin misled the medical community about the anemia drug’s risks and benefits—and helped make Amgen rich. By Daniel W. Coyne | May 14, 2012 http://the-scientist.com/2012/05/14/...g-drug-trials/ "And if the intent was not to mislead, why not just publish subsequent articles clarifying the results, especially the quality of life results? The anemia workgroups that developed the KDOQI guidelines included one of the 1998 NEJM authors. Why not notify the KDOQI organization and other workgroup members that they were misreading the 1998 NEJM results? I cannot imagine what Amgen would have done if they had intended to mislead." Now, James and Trader would no doubt subscribe this to be incompetence or merely an unfortunate accident. I, on the other hand, would subscribe this to GREED. Unless, of course, "increased quality of life" actually means DEATH. -- Dogman "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs in different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything" - Richard Feynman |

Incompetence, accident and greed do sometimes rear their ugly head. But science is self correcting in the long term. Unless, of course, "increased quality of life" actually means DEATH. |

Ooh you just claimed the most science succumbs ro incompetence, accident and greed. I don't suppose you have much evidence for that, do you? |

Refuse any tests. Don't take any drugs. Don't go to a hospital, because science is just corrupt and incompetent. Just treat yourself with diet and sleep and read Duesburg's book again. That should work just fine and we'll all be happy. |

Ooh you just claimed the most science succumbs ro incompetence, accident and greed. I don't suppose you have much evidence for that, do you? What good would someone like you make of it? That article I recently posted in The Scientist is not an anomaly, similar crap happens virtually every single day. Some disclosures do make it to the major journals, but most do not. The only reason you heard of this one is because I posted it here, otherwise you'd likely never hear of it. AMGEN made 37 billion dollars on their murderous deceit, which is why it happens so frequently. Because there's $$$$ in it. 37 billion dollars is mere chump change to AIDS Inc. You're just an incurious and gullible person, James. The first step in any 12-Step program is to admit that you have a problem. I just don't see you doing that.

If I ever do get seriously ill, I'll make sure the doctor I see knows what he or she is talking about, is someone who never stops learning, and is someone who fully understands what The Scientific Method and the Hippocratic Oath actually are. In other words, no, I probably won't be seeing any of *your* doctors. And I'll be totally responsible for what tests get done, and what treatments, etc., if any, are being entertained. And I'll even pitch in with the interpretations of the test results, too. Not my doctor. I'm in charge of my health, not my doctor. -- Dogman "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs in different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything" - Richard Feynman |
