That’s Not Science: It’s Propaganda

Video Transcript:

Doctors like to give the impression that they've conquered sickness with science, but that's just promotional baloney. There are at a conservative estimate something in the region of 18,000 known diseases, for which there are no effective treatments that alone cures, even when treatments do exist their efficacy is often in question. It's not surprising that the treatments for the coronavirus are completely confusing and it's not surprising that many people, me included, suspect that effective treatments are being ignored or suppressed because they might interfere with the need for a nice, expensive vaccine that would make billions for the drug companies and establish a greater need for compulsory, annual vaccinations for everyone. Modern clinicians may use scientific techniques, but in the way that they treat their patients, they're often still more like cracks and charlatans, loyal to existing and unproven ideas which are profitable and resistant to new techniques and technologies which may be proven uneffective. One report a few years ago concluded that 85% of medical and surgical treatments have never been properly tested and nothing's changed. The fact that a doctor may use a scientific instrument in his work doesn't make him a scientist any more than the type he's to use as a word processor is a computer scientist. The scientific technology available to doctors may be magnificent, but the problem isn't until anyone are told you this, that the application of the scientific technology is too often crude, untested and unscientific. Drugs which are commonly prescribed have often never been properly tested and there are scores of simple questions which go unanswered. Why, for example, to doctors prescribe the same dose of an antibiotic for a seven-stone woman as they prescribe for a 27-stone man? I've been asking that question for decades and no one's ever got an answer. Most drugs are given in similar doses to patients who are 16 years old, as to patients who are 86 years old even though their bodies will be very different. Many doctors, whether practicing as physicians or surgeons, don't see the human mind and the human body as a single entity, which is why the medical professions have been slow to embrace the principles of holistic medicine and doubly incompetent in its attempt to deal with stress-related disorders. And they rely more on hopes and assumptions than on evidence and objective clinical experience. I'm afraid that too many modern doctors are as narrow-minded and as influenced by their personal experiences and interpretations as their predecessors were two thousand years ago. Many patients probably assume that when a doctor proposes to use an established treatment to conquer a disease, they'll be using a treatment which has been tested, examined and proven. But I'm afraid that's often not true. The first problem is that there are tens of thousands of medical journals in the world, and it's difficult for anyone to keep up with new papers, even in a small specialty and even with the aid of computer search engines. Amazingly, only about 15% of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence and only 1% of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound. What sort of science is that? How can doctors possibly regard themselves as practicing a science? When six out of seven medical treatment regimes are unsupported by scientific evidence, and when 99% of the articles upon which clinical decisions are based are scientifically unsound, how can doctors regard themselves as scientists? When it's known that a kind, compassionate doctor can have a healing 50% better than his cruella colleagues, simply because patients respond better to his or her remedies. How can doctors regard medicine as a science when it's been proven many times that at least a third of patients will get better if they're given a placebo, a medicine that carries no active ingredients? How can doctors regard medicine as a science? When it's known that a large proportion of patients expecting to have heart surgery will get better if they're merely given a skier on their chest and told that they've had an operation? Medicine has no science, it's an art, it's mysticism, but these days it's polluted by business and money. The savage truth is that most medical research is organised, paid for commissioned or subsidised by the drug industry. This type of research is designed quite simply to find evidence showing that a new product is commercially valuable. The companies which commissioned such research are not terribly bothered about evidence, what they're looking for, a conclusions which will enable them to sell their product. Drug company sponsored research is done more to get good reviews than to find out the truth. A study published in one major journal found that one in five researchers in the life sciences had delayed publication of their results or had not published them at all because of their relationship with business firms. Whenever I have accused scientists of being prejudiced and bought because of their allegiance to their corporate paymasters the answers invariably the same. Everyone does it, there isn't a scientist in the world who hasn't taken corporate money. Sadly this is probably true and one explanation for the fact that many allegedly independent government bodies are almost always packed with men and women who work for, who have taken fees from, the large corporations their government body is supposed to be policing. It's also a fact that most of the doctors and scientists writing articles, papers and reviews for medical and scientific journals have received money's grants and freebies from drug chemical or food companies and it's also worth remembering that many allegedly had apparently independent journals except corporate advertising and some accept payment in return for running articles. With a very few exceptions there are no certainties in medicine the treatment of patients gets will depend more on chance and the doctor's personal prejudices the non-science. The unexpected seems to happen so often that it really ought to be expected and the likelihood of a doctor accurately predicting the outcome of a disease is often no more than 50-50. Even in these days of apparently high technology medicine there are almost endless variations in the treatments preferred by different doctors. Doctors offer different prescriptions for exactly the same symptoms. They keep patients in hospital for vastly different lengths of time and they perform different operations on patients with apparently identical problems. There is indeed ample evidence now available to show that the type of treatment a patient gets when he visits a doctor will depend not so much on the symptoms he describes but on the doctor he consults and where that doctor practices. And yet most doctors in practice seem to be convinced that their treatment methods are beyond question. Many GPs and hospital doctors announce their decisions as though they're carved in stone. But for me the big big worry is that today's research is largely controlled and paid for by the pharmaceutical industry. Doctors are unquestioning most don't read original papers and couldn't read between the lines or assessed papers accurately even if they did. The majority obtain 99% of their information from two biased and thoroughly unreliable sources. Drug companies and the government. Nobody bothers to look for evidence that vaccinations actually work or are safe or don't cause problems when several different vaccines are injected into the same body. I wrote a book called Anyone who tells you vaccines are safe and effective is lying and no one in the medical establishment has ever tried to dispute that statement. Young doctors are told that what they are taught are facts and they're taught and then believe that medicines are science. But the fact is that outside the anatomy room and possibly the physiology laboratory there are no facts in medicine. The gaps in our knowledge about the human body are far greater than the extent of our knowledge. Medicine isn't a science it's an art and a craft with a smidging of science stuck on the side. Economics, psychiatry and psychology are all pseudo sciences with no more relation to real science than astrology or erudology. Medicine is somewhere in between real science and economics but it isn't a science. Doctors like to be thought of as scientists because it contributes to their aura of infallibility. Drug companies like to think that doctors are scientists because it encourages patients to have faith in the remedies they produce and research doctors like to pretend that they're scientists because it makes it easier for them to obtain grants and to tell convincing stories to the media. Too often I'm afraid modern medical scientists decide on a commercially acceptable solution and then select the facts which support the solution they have selected. That's not science it's propaganda and it's not surprising that the whole coronavirus hoax has been allowed to meander along unhindered by proper debate.
