In light of RFK, Jr.’s confirmation hearings to be Secretary of Health and Human Services, it is good to remember that much of what is presented to us as science stems from vested interests and an outdated mechanistic worldview.

Science is one of humanity’s greatest achievements. But it is not infallible — that’s why it is science and not dogma — and is sadly not immune to the virus of corruption. For many decades, the mirror of science has become increasingly blurred by a storm of vested interests, particularly when research and the communication of results are linked to large corporations.

The BMJ (formerly British Medical Journal), one of the leading medical journals, published an article in 2022 on “The illusion of evidence-based medicine.” As stated in its introductory sentence, the solid scientific foundation claimed by medicine “has been corrupted by corporate interests, failed regulation, and commercialization of academia.” In this context, the authors assert that:

Unconcerned governments and captured regulators are unlikely to initiate necessary change to remove research from industry altogether and clean up publishing models that depend on reprint revenue, advertising, and sponsorship revenue.

We were warned long ago. Back in 2005, the prestigious PLoS Medicine published one of the most quoted scientific articles of the 21st century, with the remarkable title “Why most published research findings are false.” Building on complex mathematical models, the renowned researcher John Ioannidis reached the conclusion that “most research findings are false for most research designs and for most fields.”

This “privately overseen global constituency of non-governmental experts” did have “significant financial and political connections that enabled them to achieve such clout at the highest levels of the US government, the European Commission, and the WHO.” And who was privately overseeing this “global constituency of non-governmental experts”? As the joint investigation by Die Welt and Politico reveals, at the core of this network were several entities associated with a big name of fraudulent profiteering (initially through his tech corporation): Bill Gates. The German edition of this joint research is entitled Die Machtmaschine des Bill Gates: “Bill Gates’ Power Machine”. The next question is: What lies behind Bill Gates?
