Lol ok mr scientist explain to me how many studies you believe were funded by entities interested in a particular outcome. None?

Remember when cigarette companies funded studies showing how smoking wasn’t that bad?

Remember when the ridiculously unhealthy food pyramid studies were funded by grain companies?

How about testing drug safety funded by the companies that sell the drugs, that oh golly gee look the drug is proven as safe by studies then goes on to harm people?

You can manipulate the sample, you can manipulate the data parameters, you can manipulate the control group, you can manipulate the test executed


Anyone who thinks studies aren’t easy to manipulate is a combination of stupid and naive
