Post your stories of 'muh science' getting it very wrong, here:

  • The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness. —Dr. Richard Horton, editor-in-chief of The Lancet
  • lt is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine. —Dr. Marcia Angell, physician and editor-in-chief of The New England Journal of Medicine
  • The medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry, not only in terms of the practice of medicine, but also in terms of teaching and research. The academic institutions of this country are allowing themselves to be the paid agents of the pharmaceutical industry. I think it’s disgraceful. —Arnold Seymour Reiman (died 2014), Professor of Medicine at Harvard University and former editor-in-chief of The New England Journal of Medicine
  • Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organisations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them. —Dr. Linus Pauling, (died 1994), two-time Nobel Prize winner in chemistry

Never Trust the Science - Vox Popoli

You’d literally be better off just flipping a coin at this point. And that’s a conclusion based on statements by some of the most reputable scientists in history of the United States. Remember this when people tell you to “trust the science”. You cannot. You simply cannot trust a profession that...

Most science research these days is fake; driven by greed for funding, corporate control or ideological insanity:

Science is in the throes of what is sometimes called the replication crisis, so named because a big hint that a scientific study is wrong is when other teams try to repeat it and get a different result. While some fields, such as psychology, initially seemed more liable than others to generate such “fake news”, almost every area of science has since come under suspicion. An entire field of genetics has even turned out to be nothing but a mirage.

The replication crisis has spread through science – can it be fixed?

It started in psychology, but now findings in many scientific fields are proving impossible to replicate. Here's what researchers are doing to restore science's reputation

Been happening for decades.
Funding for research grants is linked to results and the number of time's a paper is cited.
Then there's industry or government funded research that is designed to be specifically aimed at one area.
Results that are ambiguous or not providing the correct outcomes is considered a failure when it's anything but!
Research for the sake of science is pretty much extinct.
 
A psychiatrist admits that psychiatry is a fake science:

I’ve been practicing psychiatry for 38 years. I love my job, my peers, and my patients. But I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m participating in the biggest intellectual scam of this era. We claim to be a science, but have no understanding how thought or behavior is generated.

Of all the "sciences ".
This is so full of cognitive biases.
Inability to reproduce results.
Susceptibility to pharma lobbying.
The AMA have serious form in the above.
A huge amount of physiatrist drug's are very dubious in their efficacy.
And here's an interesting one.
In all the mass shooting events in the US.
You never hear mention of the prescription drugs the shooter's she on.

Not to say totally inconsistent.

One minute, a lad wanting his dick chopped off is considered a psychiatric patient requiring intervention, while the next there are marches through Dublin celebrating his choice!

Surely as a compromise they should just cut half his dick off (Longatudally (?) )

I mean sometimes compromises have to be made !
 
Pseudoscience and the Stink of Sulfur

In which it is claimed that reading alternative media instead of a healthy daily dose of narrative from the mainstream media is unhealthy for your heart:

As always, the inversion of the wicked is a reliable guide toward the truth. If you read the mainstream news, you were not only frightened and stressed out by the non-danger of Covid 19, but you probably got vaxxed and boosted, which inflicted material damage to your heart and increased your risk of strokes and turbo cancers.

Bland conformity is the best way huh!
The mushroom agenda being pushed into academia in the surprise surprise.
Social anything but science's.

To me this is proper science at work. Gravity exists in our everyday experience of the universe, but what is it exactly? Nobody really knows and I see no reason why scientists should feel embarrassed by being flummoxed by one of Nature's great puzzles, it just goes to show we are nowhere near as clever as we like to think we are.
 
Gravity ~ When objects with mass affect space.

Gravity ~ Space's reaction to objects with mass ~ Maybe call that Spacetime reaction to objects with mass.

Many years ago I used to be an avid reader of New Scientist and I remember the debate about science, and specifically the funding of it, moving out of academia and into commerce. The grave warnings about its corruption in doing so were countered by the need to gain extra funds as it was becoming too expensive to be funded solely by the taxpayer.

Today it has come to pass that those wise heads who dared suggest that the pursuit of nature's truths would be steered by the lure of money, have been proven 100% correct.

In reality and with humility.
The more you discover.
Leads to the realisation of how little you're aware of in the cosmos.
Science is a continuous realisation of the above in its true form.
Nothing is ordained.
The arrogance and obfuscation around covid-19 is the direct opposite of real Science.
Trust the Science is a moronic soundbite for concensus corporate science and its funkiest.

To be clear.
That comment is towards the gent in the clip.
Spectroscopy is an amazing analytical tool.
Astrophysics have taken it up numerous levels with the current technologies.

I first used used it in analyzing metal plating solutions, Jeez, I hated that job, but then I came across it in a flour mill being used by the most gorgeous girl ever, most were during those testosterone fueled teenage years, and suddenly I thought it a wonderful tool.
 
You are going to get two further lots of scientists on your TV screens soon enough I think. Software engineers, saying you need more state control of the internet to stem cyber attacks, and astro physicists talking about the multiverse and the hows and whys of the alien hypothesis.

Don't believe either of them I'd say!
