..... this is all the natural result of the clear understanding by most people that money has corrupted EVERYTHING in this country, including "science".

Lots of us believe in real science but when it becomes clear that many if not most "scientific studies" somehow always reach conclusions that favor whoever funded the study, well, it sure takes the stars out of your eyes.

This guy makes a point of talking about big Pharma, i wouldn't if I were him because they are a case study in the failure of "science", as clearly evidenced by the huge number of costly pharmaceutical recalls that have been made over the last 10-15 years that can only be explained by rigged studies.

So IMHO the huge level of skepticism among the public is not as unjustified as this pearl-clutcher would suggest.
