The peer review process was repeatedly cheated by self-serving fraud. The medical field requires honest results and reporting. Why are you defending the fraud?
Science is no longer a hobby for the idle rich, it's an occupation. Peer review cannot function in a hostile environment governed by self interest (results == resume). Science practice needs to adapt to modern conditions rather than to pretend the idealized system that worked for an exclusive and elite group would work for a competetive worldwide industry.

This is exaggerating and generalizing too much. Science still works extremely well in general.
For replying to me, can you skip to the part where you explicitly call out what you believe the cause may be,
as general of a label as it may be?
