We began with a concern that industry was buying the science it wanted and corrected the problem by asking government to buy the science it wanted. How's that working out?

I recommend reading the excellent “Fiat Food “ Book , it confirms what you already know and is a revelation to the depths of corruption of how science can be manipulated.

I think few Americans realize that now most scientific research is funded by government regulators. And those government regulators have an agenda: Advance the leftist agenda to make government bigger and more powerful.

Every person with a specialty knows that their "peer-reviewed" journals are putting out crap, but somehow most haven't made the connection that it's the same in everyone else's specialty!

It is a curiosity. I learned many years ago how corrupt climate science was, took decades for me to discover medical science was equally rotten. At this point I tend to discount any “science” that is taxpayer funded, as it is unavoidably polluted by political agendas.

I previously understood some of the money flows corrupting the science but to now learn how the corruption goes way deeper than even I imagined.. whatever ingredients you mix with politics ends up as pure politics. We need a new world.

"Fiat science" == "Faucism" == "Lysenkoism".

The world has been witnessing this corruption of science for as long as there have been researchers exploring the nature of the world around us.

Hopefully, people are gaining at least new awareness of this and will become more skeptical and critical thinkers about science and peer-reviewed "studies".
