not pretty, The Cochrane Collaboration has fouled their reputation, and lost all credibility by removing G?tzsche

Peter G?tzsche has held a purist line with evidence based medicine, talked about antidepressants that are net negatives, manipulation of trials, pressuring of researchers and more seriously the Cochrane collaboration not being able to deal with dissenting opinion. Cochrane have just kicked him out.
dissenting opinion is the back bone of science and evidence based medicine. Much medicine is not sound, a lot of science is questionable, if the mavericks are silenced how can science work how do we ever discover that things don't work or don't work the way they should.

Peter G?tzsche has my respect for asking the questions which others don't dare to ask. Silence dissent argue by appeals to authority and very quickly welcome the dark ages.

the question we should ask in the world of fake science fake news fake everything is quis custodiet ipso custodes

G?tzsche has my respect.
Cochrane can go fuck themselves.
Science is dying as we watch.
