A gentle reminder that most published scientific papers are wrong:

• most published studies are false
• data dredging
• p-value hacking
• publication bias (studies that get the wrong result are buried and never published)
• biased, lazy and incompetent reviewers
• censorship of outsiders and political interference
• outright fraud e.g. the Surgisphere fraud
• undisclosed conflict of interest
• insufficient detail given to replicate the study
• the ongoing replication crisis
• bad or misleading use of statistics
• failure to allow for relevant differences between the control and experimental groups

and many more, some innocent mistakes, some not even a bit innocent.

This has been a huge problem in medicine for many decades, and doctors and scientists have written widely about this. This is not some "wacky conspiracy theory". The wacky conspiracy theory is that criticisms of the bad science is "a conspiracy theory".
