Skepticism, Science & Pseudoscience

(9 posts)A reputable Scientific Professional Peer-Review Journal. The Scientific objectivity of Peer-Review and the eminence of Hahvard (Veritas! Veritas!) Objectivity is our great asset - Fredrick Goodwin, M.D. former NIMH director, host of Infinite Mind program on NPR radio, involved with the racist human-experimentation of the Violence Initiative.
In Psychiatry or Neuropsychopharmacology the scientific testing of upcoming breakthrough wonder drugs, (patented prescription neurodrugging chemicals) consists of conducting a number of 6 week trials, with control groups. The test group gets the drugging intervention (the independent variable) and the control group does not. Using fabricated word tests and subjective judgements of behavior (that is, psychometric testing and objective clinical observation of behavior) they view the person's behavior (the dependent variable) before the intervention and after. If they are changed, in the areas of importance, for the better after the Intervention (starting brain drugging) then the Scientific experiment proves the value of the drug. Deleterious effects are not germane and are just 'possible side effects.'
Then they look for the subgroup of most favorable test reports. Unfavorable experimental results from other tests are not used and are hidden, buried.
Statistically analyzing the tests they write a definitive pro-forma report and send it to their brethren at the FDA! (Independent review!!)
Then versions go to their prestigious Professional Journals. Peer Review!
So the Prozac Timeline has them knowing that the drug causes suicidal and homicidal ideation and action circa 1986. See, Baum Hedlund Prozac hidden documents (the law firm got documents during litigation). Their Inter-group messages stress the need for them to never use these terms outside the company group, and to suppress this. Decades later the Professional Peer-Review Journal of the ACNP, American College of Neuropsychopharmacology - NEUROPSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY - publishes a Report, from many prestigious personages of many august Institutions, on the "Controversy" of Suicidality in Youth caused by SSRIs. In a bid for approval to open up this potential market further to increase the stock market share value. The independent Task Force finds that its really a non-issue that some ignore people have cooked up. (see, task force suicidality youth Neuropsychopharmacology Vera Sharav)
Meanwhile on NPR Radio, Fredrick Goodwin, M.D. (see, goodwin fenfluramine violence initiative) has 3 important guests and they discuss the "controversy." These professional mannered Harvard-types talk amongst themselves and deem that SSRIs and suicide in youth lacks validity (see, goodwin Jeanne Lenzer NPR shills OR shilling).
All the School Shootings (Virginia Tech, Columbine) have the killers being exposed to SSRIs. (See, Dr. Russell Blaylock fluorinated school shootings Virginia).
Skepticism of skepticism. Antipsychiatry (see, www.alternativementalhealth.com; and Lawrence Stevens, J.D. A Warning Psychiatric Stigma Follows You Through Life). Veritas!
