>Do paid for research results result in a type of modern folk medicine? Is it no different than your shaman telling you something works?I do not understand the question.
>Is the CDC a modern day shaman?hardly. It is a hugely important institution, influential also outside the US.
>How can one be sure that published medical trial results are accurate?One cannot know, but we know that forged results will be uncovered sooner or later.
>Are there any instances of a drug coming to market and never recalled or reformulated or some type of large numbers of death occurring due to (insert coincidental tampering and poisonig here)?Look up Vioxx, it was a huge scandal that caused a lot of people to die, the medicine was withdrawn and litigation will probably be going for decades.
