All Our Mice Are Broken! (Scandal in the Scientific, Academic, and Media community)

    DID YOU KNOW?

    All our mice are broken.

    SCANDAL in the scientific, biological, and academic community (unreported in the media.)

    1. A researcher discovers a huge flaw in drug testing.
    2. The mice used for drug testing are skewing results.
    3. Dangerous drugs are released to the public causing thousands of deaths.
    4. The Academic community sits on the report.
    5. The Media refuse to report.

    The above are the elements of this story.
    Now, what else?
    These are Science Terms requiring a basic understanding:

    TELOMERASE : code at the end of DNA strands.
    Each cell division loses bits of the code.
    Cell division stops when Telomerase is all gone.
    Why is this important?
    Unchecked (or runaway) cell division leads to CANCER.

    Unlimited Telomerase grants immortality to cells BUT at what cost? You die of cancer!

    Mice for lab experiments all come from one strain bred in labs exclusively for lab experiments.
    With generation after generation of mouse breeding without predators - these mice develop longer Telomerase codes.

    SENESCENCE : the study of what causes aging leading to death.
    (Note this discovery sheds much light on the previous unknowns of aging and cancer).

    Nobody ever put two and two together until Bret Weinstein raised the question. His paper reporting the verification of the hypothesis was quashed - but the researcher who criticized and stopped it went on to win a Nobel Prize with the research.

    The Drug industry, the Academic peer review process, the Press are all complicit in a collective suppression of this story.

    WHY? Years and years of research would have to be THROWN OUT and Drug studies costing billions of dollar would necessarily come under scrutiny.

    $$$$$$$$ = suppression of bad news

    These are the troubles of mice and men:

    the Academic peer review process .....are all complicit in a collective suppression

    I agree that the peer review process is flawed:

    "So peer review is a flawed process, full of easily identified defects with little evidence that it works. Nevertheless, it is likely to remain central to science and journals because there is no obvious alternative, and scientists and editors have a continuing belief in peer review."

    Kinda throws a monkey wrench in the creed: I don't believe in God anymore, I believe in science.

    Far too often fame, fortune, & profit override truth, (eg. the WTBTS) especially in the businesses of medical research and pharmaceutical companies. The Thalidomide drug company is a prime example.

    Even today, the drug is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.

    She published in 2000 "Wild-derived inbred mouse strains have short telomeres" Nucleic Acids Research, 2000, Vol. 28, No. 22 DOI: 10.1093/nar/28.22.4474

    This is the paper Brett referenced. Its the same year that Brett submitted:

    Life's slow fuse: telomeres,tumours and the evolution of vertebrate senescence. NatureSubmission #W08077

    Brett Weinstein has copies of Carol's many annotated criticisms of his paper in her own handwriting. The top evolutionary scientist in the field who pre-approved and praised Brett's work agreed with Weinstein that her crits were superficial nonsense.

    My guess about this is she did steal this idea from Brett which I hope this podcast brings to light. But I'm wondering which aspect of her many research papers were the reason for her being granted the Nobel prize, it looks like its the actual discovery of Telomerase.
    So shes a thief, but got her prize for other work.
    If she is NOT a thief - she should protest and loudly.

    I do not have access to any scientific journals at this time and I am not willing to pay for access, but hopefully someone else does. I am very curious to get to the bottom of this controversy, and judging by the comments I'm not alone.

    I agree that the peer review process is flawed:

    If you pay attention, the majority of "peer reviewed" papers can't actually be reproduced.

    The "scientific method" is pretty much BS now - you can pump out whatever drivel you want, as long as someone wants to pay for it, it's OK.

    When I take a big step back and look at the state of societies around our planet I
    see that much of the turmoil in the last two decades is a result of a new generation infected by post-modern philosophy / politics incubated in Universities.
    Academia's chicks have come home to roost and clash with Boomers (who currently run / ruin the world.

    This new generation doesn't debate - it censors, subverts, and silences opposition.
    Will I live long enough to see the other side of this current clash when things cool down? Hmmm, I hope so.

    The snarling and the clawing aren't very interesting.
    It's anti-intellectual but ironically, mostly conducted by what passes for intellectuals.
    Sigh.
    Oh bother!

    Rascals aren't held accountable. That's the bottom line.
