Unfortunately, much of the social sciences and humanities have been tainted with such agenda-driven research for decades, gradually culminating to what we are now watching spilling over to the hard sciences/medicine and general society. This includes the main traditional disciplines, not just the recently made up fields of "XXX-studies".
For instance, for several years now there have been authors in academic philosophy openly arguing for something like a complete overhaul of basic epistemic standards--things that have been discussed by philosophers for thousands of years--to align with promoting 'woke' agendas. Needless to say, such 'research' is of a quality that wouldn't be accepted in the prestigious venues where it has been published, had it not for its advocacy of fashionable political ideas.
I have to wonder if Mallory Walker has ever heard of Trofim Lysenko. I have to assume yes, but I guess like all activists, Mallory's politicization of science will go well, is done with the best of intentions, and will have no unintended consequences.
ANONYMED: It is of course true that medicine has at different times been racist, sexist, homophobic, antisemitic, anti-Catholic, and probably anti a bunch of other stuff too.
The above is, OFF COURSE and not true, at all. "Medicine" has never been any of those things. Some doctors and nurses may have been.
With respect to the author's link to the Canadian Medical Association Journal and its article promoting support for CRITICAL RACE THEORY, I replied with, quote:
Why do you people publish this anti-white, Marxist, racist, "promote-class struggle" unintelligent garbage?
I noticed that there had been no, quote "published responses" to the article. I hope that there were thousands of unpublished responses similar to mine.
You state: If we're being charitable, the MMR-autism paper illustrates the fact that journals occasionally publish things that turn out to be flat-out wrong, no matter how rigorous the review process.
I find it interesting that certain groups in academia, after all Big Pharma's corruption has been revealed over the past few years, will still only agree that the covid gene therapy vaccines are dangerous but still tout all the others as successful and valid without ever having looked at the actual data from an objective point of view. The 'safe and effective' mantra has been uttered for many years and is a difficult one to let go of.
Have you actually looked into ALL the peer-reviewed data that backs the MMR-autism link?
Do you know how safety is determined with vaccines coming to market versus drugs?
Have you reviewed the court documents and testimony from pediatricians who witnessed children slide into autism after 'routine' vaccines?
Have you read Robert Kennedy's book The Real Anthony Fauci?
Maybe you ought to.
If you're genuinely interested in exactly how safe routine vaccines are, might I suggest you have a look at Aaron Siri's newsletter. Aaron is a US attorney who has been taking pharma to court for years - representing the families of children who were seriously damaged from vaccines. Court testimony reveals one vaccine was given the green light after 4 days of safety review. FOUR DAYS!!!!! Do you think that is sufficient time to gather data to determine safety?
He has also been in the fight for a long time and despite Big Pharma's intentional campaign to discredit him, is quite intelligent and knowledgeable.
Are you aware of Dr. Jessica Rose's work? She learned just how safe the routine childhood vaccines were when she started digging into the covid data. Maybe check out her substack here: https://jessicar.substack.com/
I'm not saying ALL vaccines are dangerous, but they certainly aren't safe for everyone and parents have NEVER been given full informed consent. EVER. Come to think of it - doctors haven't been given all the information either.
The integrity of the medical profession IS in jeopardy because of the refusal to see how deep the corruption actually runs in medicine.
How many times does a liar have to lie before you accept he is not trustworthy?
Thanks for the excellent and interesting post!
