Garbage 'Science': Be Wary Of What You're Being Told

Man, with the major pandemic and economic risks we all have to deal with, it's so frustrating to have to waste time and energy addressing the plague of crap 'science' being dumped on us on a daily basis. It's so unnecessary. Our society knows how to do science well. But due to Big Pharma protecting its profits, or political agendas, or whatever the reasons may be - we are not getting rigorous trustworthy research findings at a time when we need them most. Yet once again, we're find ourselves forced to wade back in the hydroxychloroquine debate. This time to respond to (or more accurately, eviscerate) the most recent study on HCQ appearing in The Lancet. Whether or not its conclusions are accurate, who knows? But its methodology is for certain shoddy as hell. Why are we still being given such poorly-constructed and shoddy results by our science 'experts'? By this time, we should have a plethora of rigorous, peer-reviewed studies giving us clear, dependable answers we can use to create smart health policy decisions. But instead, we're still being fed a daily diet of garbage "science."
