so today I want to talk about science

okay you’ve heard the concept

well it’s backed by science or you’ll

hear the phrase well the science is

settled you know we don’t need to keep

looking at that because we already

figured it out we’ve done enough

research like for example on the whole

concept of fat being bad and then now

it’s good right trans fats are okay and

now they’re not good or these drugs are

safe and effective and then 30 years

later they’re taken off the market in

fact I’m gonna put a link down below of

just this is just the tip of the iceberg

a hundred and seventy six drugs that

were considered safe and effective okay

but now are off the market because they

found they were quite dangerous

okay here’s in just a few accutane they

took it off the market because they

found it crates liver damage after 27

years

Seiler was on the market for 30 years

that was for ADHD or a DD now what I

want to know is how long did they do the

studies initially to prove that they

were safe and effective then we have DDS

diethylstilbestrol this was used at a

very powerful estrogen that was supposed

to prevent miscarriages until they found

it causes miscarriages 31 years later

okay and then you had the little mite I

don’t know how that got passed that

created all sorts of problems with

babies coming out with flippers for arms

and all sorts of issues okay then you

have per max on the market for 19 years

then we have PTZ and metros all on the

market for 48 years okay

hey these things were backed by science

so the main question is who is funding

the study okay which many times gives

grants to universities and then you have

industry which then also funds the

universities and then you have a few

nonprofits to do research right here

before 1970 the majority of research was

done and paid for by the government but

now between 71 and 85 percent of

research is done by the industry and a

lot of times industry will partner with

the government to do research especially

when we get into R&D

so a lot of the initial R&D money for

new drugs is sponsored by the government

which really you’re paying for it’s your

taxes of course you have drug companies

that mark it up by a thousand percent

making massive amounts of profit I mean

one drug for Hep C cost eighty four

thousand dollars for a three-month

dosage in the u.s. in India it’s only

five hundred dollars and then we end up

you and I end up getting stuck with the

bill for their research and then we

allow industry to pay certain

individuals who sit on boards and

committees that regulate a lot of the

guidelines in our healthcare and of

course not to mention the medical

journals which depend on industry money

for their advertising but I think the

worst of the worst is that industry is

allowed to cherry-pick their data and

not have to publish the studies that

don’t align with what they want JAMA

which is a Medical Journal found that

when a drug company sponsors the

research it comes out five to three

times more positive than negative so

unfortunately what we’re missing in

science is a thing called Ethics comment
