elfsApparently, BushCo funded a study to determine if a safe sex study with "additional parental monitoring" of children would reduce levels of unsafe sex among black teenagers. The researchers now admit to having faked all of the data.
Administrators claim that the fake data don't change the outcome of the study, but you gotta wonder sometimes.
Remember the big deal about the "Mission Accomplished" banner? When Bush's plane landed on the aircraft carrier for him to give his speech a few months ago, a huge "Mission Accomplished" banner hung behind him on the conn tower. White House officials claimed that it was put there my the crew of the ship to describe their mission. As it turns out, it was shipped to the ship by White House operatives to provide a photo op for Bush.
Now, it turns out that Bush's Thanksgiving Turkey was a prop. Military officials claim that "a trophy turkey" is standard at holiday chow lines, but guess who provided the bird, the photo op, everything?
Halliburton.
The next time you go to a physician and ask about the effects of a new drug, realize that the studies he's read on the efficacy of that drug were writted by the drug company, not an independent physician. Physicians who get named as lead researchers on some papers have never even seen the papers being submitted in their name, although they get great paychecks for lending their reputations.
The Arabic-only newspaper "Al-Usbu" (Of Egypt) had an interview with the curator of the manuscript museum at the New Library of Alexandria. The curator, Dr. Yousef Ziedan, placed The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion next to the Torah and included a placard stating that the Protocols more relevant because "Zionist Jews conduct their life according to it."
Never mind that it's a complete forgery written by Christian Socialists in the late 19th century.
By now,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

And some good news: There are finally alternative birth control methods available. A better IUD, better diaphragms, and the four periods a year pill are all now commercially available.

Faked research?
Date: 2003-12-09 10:51 pm (UTC)The claim I read is that not all of the data was faked, and they followed procedure in removing and recovering from the faked data. Now if you want to argue that the procedure is inadequate, you'll get no argument from me. I also suspect the smaller sample size may be an issue, but I can't tell without more information.
