When good science is suppressed by the medical-political complex, people die

Politicians and governments are suppressing science. They do so in the public interest, they say, to accelerate availability of diagnostics and treatments. They do so to support innovation, to bring products to market at unprecedented speed. Both of these reasons are partly plausible; the greatest deceptions are founded in a grain of truth. But the underlying behaviour is troubling.

Science is being suppressed for political and financial gain. Covid-19 has unleashed state corruption on a grand scale, and it is harmful to public health.1 Politicians and industry are responsible for this opportunistic embezzlement. So too are scientists and health experts. The pandemic has revealed how the medical-political complex can be manipulated in an emergency—a time when it is even more important to safeguard science.

that is brave of the BMJ to publish that!

 

It says that the medical people are talking like politicians! All air and no fact or outcome - but it doesn't mean it's not true

 

It would appear to my layman's eye that they are saying much of what we have said here - actual science is not being listened to and politics is over-riding public health

 

I am not so sure that it is a waste of space - unless we have voices like those questioning on our behalf, how are we to know that the actions being taken are actually in our best interests? It is not as though any of us are able to ask questions directly of those in charge, or have the medical/scientific knowledge to know what to question and how.

 

Certainly agree with you but are they actually asking any questions?

 

I think the most important question in the whole article is - "How might science be safeguarded in these exceptional times?" I'm reasonably sure that I am not alone in complying with the guidance but not fully believing in all that we are being told, nor the science that is being used to remove our freedoms and liberties.

 

I'm complying with the guidance because what I'm doing seems logical to me but I'm not sure what would happen if it didn't seem logical.

 

It is this sort of thing that cause people to raise an eyebrow and question things. There has been cover-ups, errors and downright corruption throughout this whole debacle, hence people do not always fully believe what they are being told.

 

Dumbing the data down is the wrong way to go, for the reasons mentioned - in this day and age, it should be entirely possible to present the data in levels that can be drilled down to postcode level
