What in the world does healthcare administration have to do with scientific research
the public doesn't usually interact with researchers. we interact with practicing doctors that use research to inform how they will treat us, and healthcare administration is forcing doctors to conform to universal treatment protocols that may not be appropriate for their patients.
so it's quite noticeable that healthcare administration is interfering with your healthcare when your doctor tells you "sorry, i don't really believe this is best for you, but we have to do it or i could lose my license".
And Jordan Peterson? Lol what
it's an example of western lysenkoism. whether you agree with peterson or not, there's less pushback on ideas that may be wrong when institutional powers are being abused to muzzle him.
it's much easier to build consensus and pretend that it's the absolute truth when you can just silence dissenting views.
The majority of basic science research is done using government grants at public institutions. It has been and I bet it will be for a long time, private companies almost never do basic science research. I'm not arguing that drug companies don't do shitty things, they do, but that is an absolute minority when it comes to research
there have been plenty of criticisms about publish or perish culture in academia and the replication crisis tainting research papers.
i posted earlier (not sure when) an article talking about how much healthcare education was being funded by pharmaceutical companies just in canada and basically it's a huge moral hazard now.
there's a lot of money on the line with pharmaceutical products and maaaaayyybe just maybe researchers will avoid exposing a product they know is bad when they know that they depend on the industry cartel for their livelihood and ability to continue doing research.
so yeah, maybe people don't set out to act unethically but lying by omission is far too common these days and i think that qualifies as unethical when you turn a blind eye to something that the public will be exposed to and it ends up ruining lives.
