TrUsT tHe sCiEnCe….

Some of the links no longer work because the j’ws wiped out the original sources, and apparently wiped those studies off of the archive sites too. These were the studies I gathered during Covid that basically proved we can’t trust a lot of the science out there nowadays.

"A pooled weighted average of 1.97% (N = 7, 95%CI: 0.86–4.45) of scientists admitted to having fabricated, falsified or modified data or results at least once –a serious form of misconduct by any standard– and up to 33.7% admitted other questionable research practices. In surveys asking about the behaviour of colleagues, admission rates were 14.12% (N = 12, 95% CI: 9.91–19.72) for falsification, and up to 72% for other questionable research practices."

A 2016 poll of 1,500 scientists conducted by Nature reported that 70% of them had failed to reproduce at least one other scientist's experiment (including 87% of chemists, 77% of biologists, 69% of physicists and engineers, 67% of medical researchers, 64% of earth and environmental scientists, and 62% of all others), while 50% had failed to reproduce one of their own experiments, and less than 20% had ever been contacted by another researcher unable to reproduce their work. Only a minority had ever attempted to publish a replication, and while 24% had been able to publish a successful replication, only 13% had published a failed replication, and several respondents that had published failed replications noted that editors and reviewers demanded that they play down comparisons with the original studies.[4][10] In 2009, 2% of scientists admitted to falsifying studies at least once and 14% admitted to personally knowing someone who did. Such misconduct was, according to one study, reported more frequently by medical researchers than by others.[11] A 2021 study found that papers in leading journals with findings that can't be replicated tend to be cited more than reproducible science. Results that are published unreproducibly – or not in a replicable sufficiently transparent way – are more likely to be wrong and may slow progress. The authors also put forward possible explanations for this state of affairs."

a large amount of published research is either complete bullshit, or poorly documented at a minimum.

Why Less Than 30% of Science Articles are Reproducible

If you can't reproduce someone else's work, then who knows if it's (poorly documented) truth, fraud, or just guesswork going on with their results. It's clear that there's a crisis of quality in the world of science and the conditions that created it don't seem to be changing.

"Types Of Political Interference

Recent attempts at political interference can be roughly grouped into 4 types: (1) suppressing, distorting, or otherwise misusing scientific information; (2) controlling federal scientists; (3) limiting public access to scientific information; and (4) changing the way scientific information is incorporated into the decision-making process."
