>>14009124>midwit assclowns, greedy psychopaths and political cronies from the so-called "scientific" establishment.If only! Unfortunately these people exist in literally (and I mean that in the literal sense of the word) place where people exist. You, unfortunately, can't get rid of them. For instance, your pic related includes Richard Horton; Richard Horton is the prototypical midwit. He once published an article in support of another doctor Professor Roy Meadow, Meadow was under investigation for gross misconduct during trials of parents accused of so-called "cot death". In one particular trial, he stated that odds against two cot deaths occurring in the same family was 73,000,000:1. In order to get this number, he assumed that the two incidence of cot death must be independent of each other. But to anyone with even a passing idea of probability or statistics, that's clearly wrong. Two children, having the same parents, dying of the same thing, can't really be treated as independent. Richard Horton published letters in support of Meadows while the GMC was investigating him.
Meadows was subsequently found guilty by the GMC and struck off (meaning he lost his license to practice medicine). Quite how anyone could have looked at what Meadows said and thought "yeah, this is reasonable" is beyond me.
My point here is, midwit assclowns exist everywhere, even in the images you're using to support your arguments.

He made quite a mint selling books on it. IMO, despite his achievements in life (which are far beyond anything I'll ever do) later in his life, I'd have certainly labeled him a "greedy psychopath".
