CORRUPTION WIDESPREAD
by Liz Lightfoot
A survey by the Institute of Professionals, Managers
and Specialists has found that the corruption of science by commercial
interests is widespread. A third of scientists working for Government
quangos or newly-privatised laboratories admit that they have been asked to
adjust their research conclusions to suit their funder. 17% of these said
that the adjustment had been requested to suit the funder's preferred
outcome, 10% to win further contracts, and 3% to discourage publication of
the research findings. The editor of the British Medical Journal, Richard
Smith, gives two examples of suspicious research:
ALL
INFORMATION, DATA, AND MATERIAL CONTAINED, PRESENTED, OR PROVIDED HERE IS
FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS
REFLECTING THE KNOWLEDGE OR OPINIONS OF THE PUBLISHER, AND IS NOT TO BE
CONSTRUED OR INTENDED AS PROVIDING MEDICAL OR LEGAL ADVICE. THE DECISION
WHETHER OR NOT TO VACCINATE IS AN IMPORTANT AND COMPLEX ISSUE AND SHOULD
BE MADE BY YOU, AND YOU ALONE, IN CONSULTATION WITH YOUR HEALTH CARE
PROVIDER.
