I have a book from the 1970s that discusses how this was going on back then and how scientists were scared of losing their jobs if they didn't report the right results so a lot of stuff never got published.
People are just waking up to it because of covid but it has been going on since the beginning. Most of the "science" out there is gamed. Reproducibility is a huge problem in most fields except hard sciences and in hard sciences the problem is often that many people lack the expensive equipment to reproduce even if they wanted to so the data is usually just checked to make sure it makes sense given current theoretical beliefs which means a lot of hard science could be fake too if the theoretical stuff is wrong.
So much of science is a scam. Everything is fake and gay.

I wonder how many times this has already happened in a variety of differnet Sciences TM. Can't let reality escape into the public now tsk tsk.
