Ben Goldacre on Pharma Companies
A link to the foreword of Ben Goldacres new book showing what a bunch of lying twats most of the big pharma companies are

http://www.badscience.net/2012/09/heres-...-new-book/

Quote:Medicine is broken. And I genuinely believe that if patients and the public ever fully understand what has been done to them – what doctors, academics and regulators have permitted – they will be angry. On this, only you can judge

For anyone who doesnt know him, Goldacre is as far away from a youtube crank as you can get, he runs the website "Bad Science" and spends most of his time pulling apart the crap science spouted by a lot of journalists and youtube nuts.

Worth having a look at the link

a fair point ib1 you got to go thru a lot of crap on youtube , but our brains should be able to sort out the chaff, youtube is a platform to anyone good or bad and a access to lies as well as truth

There is plenty of good stuff on youtube, you just need to keep the bs filter switched on

Apart from music and some " How To " videos from skilled people like Nemesis I dont bother with YT, the survival "" Experts"" are a bloody embarresment and often talking a load of bollocks whilst trying to sell you something.
