Ironic that the Society is based in Waltham. The town nickname is 'the Watch City' because of the pocket watches it made in huge numbers. I have a fine example from my great grandfather over a century old.
There is an interesting article by Laurent Muccheilli about the early stages of the "Didier Raoult" affair in The Journal of Sociology (2020, 56, 4) "Behind the French controversy over the medical treatment of Covid-19: The role of the drug industry."
I quote: "Contrary to popular belief, it is not only second-rate authors and journals, but also the world’s most prestigious scientific journals that are implicated in this corruption of science. For example, in 2009, Dr Marcia Angell, the former publisher of the American New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) wrote: '... it is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The NEJM. (Angell, 2009).'
Muccheilli describes the collective ‘Regards citoyens’ in France (created in 2009), which examined the government website ‘Transparence Santé’ created after the Mediator scandal. "They unearthed the existence of 2.5 million gifts made between January 2012 and June 2014 by laboratories, mainly to doctors, for a total amount of approximately €245 million. Let us be clear: this is an organized system of influence peddling."
As we all now know, the Raoult affair went on for (the necessary) four years and - very roughly speaking - he lost!
ah; the integrity of our fine western institutions;
" ‘It is clear, however, Jeff Drazen knew about these extra deaths long before the end of 2005. Indeed, the Wall Street Journal discovered that Drazen had been told about them in August 2001."
and then there was that church minister recently; what was his name? finally had to concede he was officially told in 2013; now has stepped down;
even I was shocked to read Drazen knew in 2001; how naive of me
Gosh; would that mean he is in public health; that highly respected group of rigorously scientific folks? Would that mean he is an epidemiologist? Has expertise in .. modelling?
Could he be a modeller? (aka as meddlers and muddlers ....)
Grateful for a Trump win, grateful people like RFK, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, And a few other covid warrior docs will be busy cleaning up the mess, otherwise known as the USA healthcare system, is in. No doubt, medical journals will be on their to do list.👏👏👏💕💕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Now who watches the watchers?

I see Drazen is now "Professor in the Department of Environmental Health."
