Explain how I obfuscated anything by posting a quote. Also quotes do not go out of date. Why were so many users triggered by this simple post? Do you have a dog in the fight? Sus. Very sus.

Explain how I obfuscated anything by posting a quote

You say "scientific journals", then quote only the part that could be misinterpreted to mean that.

Then you make the context many times more time consuming to find by posting an image rather than something that can be copy-pasted into google.

Also quotes do not go out of date.

They're still quotes. But the timing can affect context. John the revelator wrote revelations in the late first century CE. So the when he says "The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion," you would be mistaken if you thought that was Bill Gates, even if you do convince yourself of some physical similarity.

But certainly the biases in medical research that Angell wrote about are not resolved.

Why were so many users triggered by this simple post?

Why did you go to the effort of making a screenshot and uploading it when a quote and a link would have been quicker?

Sus. Very sus.

Do you have a dog in the fight? Sus. Very sus.

Oh, the irony.

I did not make the meme; I found it. It took less than a minute to post. The post really hit a nerve with, uh, some groups.

It really did

Did you add "scientific journals can no longer be trusted" in the title of your meme in order to spread misinformation yourself?

Or were you just spreading the misinformation for other people?
