This is so very important! Replication or REPEATABILITY is one of the cornerstones of science. I’m a PhD student in geoscience/engineering and I find it so frustrating when I read papers and am not able to replicate even elementary results in the lab. Unfortunately, full scale replication is a very technically complex, time consuming, and expensive process. It is going to be to be impossible to do replication without heavy incentives. And currently incentives are basically a BIG ZERO! All of the emphasis is on novelty! We need to fix this across the board. Not just in medicine. (And no, this doesn’t excuse people for being anti-science! Plenty of great work out there.)

The problem is the fact that each person is genetically and epigeneticly different. Foods, environmental exposures such as mold/metals/chemicals, birth and infancy factors such as feedings, conditions in the womb, allergens/sensitivities/blood types, and social situations all play a massive role in addition to genetics. Trials never consider those variables, sadly. Microbiome is crucial and is highly individualized. Sadly, the approach of the standard medical community completely disregards the most important aspect of our bodies, the digestive system. It indeed does matter. Even Hippocrates knew that. Functional Medicine has far more of a clue than our standard medical community.

Hard to believe TED published this.

One of the most important videos on youtube.

I completely agree with speaker Ben Goldacre and his informational talk on the issue of publication bias. Publication bias can be especially dangerous when viewed through the lens of medical ethics. When doctors look at prescribing medications, especially medications that are new to the market, most of them strive to be as informed as possible about the medication’s effectiveness, benefits, and risks. They operate under the premise of non-maleficence - to “do-no-harm” - and yet despite their best efforts, if the information that they need is not published, they will unintentionally have a skewed view of the medication they prescribe. This is worrying considering that the trials with negative results that do not get published are likely to be the most transparent and informational resource about the medication’s negative side effects. Even in the tragic situation that the medication’s risky benefits outweigh all the negative side effects, doctors are ill-equipped to monitor their patients for the appropriate warning signs of any serious complications, all because these journals favor positive results over negative. Publication bias also makes it impossible for doctors to protect a patient’s autonomy. Doctors strive to abide by the ethical principle of autonomy, where it is their duty to provide each patient with the best chance of making well-informed decisions about their health care. However, if accurate, transparent information is not available to inform a doctor of a medication’s risks and side effects, they in turn cannot give their patients a clear, well-informed choice either. While I understand the excitement of positive test results and the forward momentum of innovation they provide to the scientific community, our progress is meaningless if we ever let our strive for discovery outpace our sense of humanity.

This guys has another great TED called "Ben Goldacre: Battling Bad Science"

Thank you for sharing such an insightful talk, it's intriguing to see professional bodies standing up and sharing the truth with regards to suppressed research findings and more 👏

This has been going on for years. I had a professor whose work, which was damning to the testing industry (academic testing), could never get his research published in the more popular journals. He was widely regarded as an authority in his field, but journal gatekeepers are free to accept or reject the research they choose. We now know that tests do not predict future performance in school and that the best predictor of future academic success is indeed past level of academic attainment.

Great work!

This Ted Talk was both frightening and eye opening to me as a physician in training. When prescribing medicine, we have a duty to patient autonomy and beneficence in each patient encounter. This would mean we present all the information in an unbiased way to allow patients to make informed decisions about their own medical care, as well as illustrate and work with them to weigh the risks and benefits of each procedural avenue. Medical research is the cornerstone that allows us to provide this information for safety and efficacy, but in this lecture we learn that scientific and medical journals, as well as the researchers themselves, may be engaging in unethical scientific practices that unravel this trust between lab and clinic. Ben shares many instances about negative results being suppressed or completely ignored in order to construct a positive outcome for the research team and journal. A positive outcome for a clinical trial can lead to exorbitant financial gain, or status and recognition in the scientific community for the lab and investigators. There is certainly a pressure to find positive results, but here we see that this pressure has overridden the ethical duty of honesty and transparency we so desperately need as physicians. We can only operate with the information we are given, and if negative side effects are suppressed as discussed here, we are by proxy not upholding beneficence ourselves. But what else can we do? How are we supposed to know if the information we trust has been construed for selfish benefit? The COVID-19 vaccination campaign and pandemic policy has unfortunately hindered the community’s trust in both research and medical institutions. This Ted Talk provides reasonable ground for those hesitancies. I myself as a physician in training was skeptical of propaganda and confusing encouragement for vaccine recommendations for young and pregnant individuals when there was not enough data to support efficacy or safety profile. It was easy to see that there may be financial pressures by pharma companies placed upon laboratories or government personnel. I think we may discover that a similar offense as discussed in this talk has occurred in the COVID-19 vaccine story. I think serious penalties need to be in place for labs and journals who are dishonest in their publications and the fault for adverse side effects from prescriptions if not published should not fall at the feet of the physicians.

Thank you Mr. Goldacre for providing this information. Many people are willing to trust certain institutions/organizations, forgetting that all institutions are susceptible to corruption, whether public or private. I hope that this wakes up millions!

it's all so clear and plain as day. there is no reason left for all doctors to not know this. They must want to hurt people

Jazzy, take it from a guy with a family of not just physicians, but surgeons and field specialists. They do not have integrity for their profession. Whereas most professionals know something about everything, and where it came from and why.. I've found the medical field is a lot more about dry procedure. In fact, I developed tinnitus and saw three specialists who said it was not curable. It took me two years but i narrowed it down to certain preservatives, mainly nitrates and phosphates. After a certain amount, my ears act up big time in the form of bad ringing that will last for days. When i first got it i was devouring souvlakis daily, and these are heavily nitrated for restaurant storage. Tell me, why did i figure it out for myself, whereas the word preservative was not even mentioned once as a possibility? Most questions to people in the field are answered with "I don't know." In the case of eye floaters, most opto doctors will tell you the laser doesn't work. And yet, there they are, right on youtube. A guy getting his floaters laser treated before our very eyes. Perhaps the procedure has its risks, perhaps the results vary, but the answer from 90% of their community of professionals is a flat out "Can't be done." The next time a doctor tells you something, don't thank him for his advice, ask him why he feels that way.

Great speech!

These biases in medicines is even worse if you happen to be female. Most human test trials are done on males because female bodies are more complicated with their hormones and the risks of pregnancy.

Its unfortunate but male and female bodies are more similar than different not to say theres no difference at all but it isnt as big of a deal. Id argue men because many drugs dont work on male bodies to be exact amd males have higher illness and death rates its logicsl to want to test on males and see how effective drugs are not saying women dont matter but its about the overall picture of treatment. Males have a more delicate biology that requires more treatment overall and thus are better for knowing whether a drug works or not

Hello covid vaccines... lol

Worth favoriting since I'm a PharmD student :D

Anybody any idea, how to minimize the effect of publication bias until the problem gets fixed? Even reading all published online papers wouldn't help since the neg. results aren't available...

any updates to this issue?

They know nothing more than they learned about it. The patient can die from prescriptions and they don't care.

Goldacre makes very valid points - which are to do with the consequences of conflicts of interests, and the negative consequences for patients. However, there is a much more serious problem at the moment. The bulk of the medical profession (along with the public) still believes that you can treat chronic diseases by changing the bio chemisrty of the body. I think drugs & surgery have an amazing influence on positive outcomes in many accute situations, but not in chronic illnesses that are a result of poor nutrition and lifestyle - the bulk of sickness today is due to this. Eating a varied whole plant based diet, low fat, low salt - along with strength/cardio/flexibility training and meditation along with a healthy social life will eliminate much of the chronic disease that we have today. Trying to fix these diseases by changing the bio chemistry using drugs is quackery at its worst.

@@mo-om without these "chemicals" (read: naturally derived and then refined substances that act on pre-existing structures within the body in the same way as endogenous structures) many people would die or have their quality of life drastically reduced. Many people DO die because of lack of access to medical care. Please learn about how medicines work before coming for them lmao

​@@amoriicovers I am all for what works be it herb or "chemicals". There is no point mocking people (as was done by the previous commenter) because they prefer certain types of medications. People have lived for thousands of years and used those treatments that have now been relegated to "alternative forms of medication". There is a wealth of knowledge on this type of medication and people are probably better off looking into these again rather relying on profit-hungry corporates who lie, cheat and conceal in order to get a drug to market without worrying about how people are affected. I know this would be termed as "anecdotal" but I haven't been to hospital or taken any drug for the last five years. All I had to do was be more conscious of what went into my body and tried to stay fit. The few times I got a little sick, I just used some local herbs and I got well. What I have seen people do is just bash alternative medicine and call people names. That is totally unnecessary. So much for your "evidence based medicine". We can see right through the bad science now. I have no problem taking any medicine as long as it would work. Am just not sure I can trust corporates with my health or the health of my family. Not after watching this anyway.

Why do we live in a world where so many people have become greedy and have their own interests at heart; instead of caring for the effects this has on communities worldwide? Pharmaceutical companies should be wanting to help people and make a difference in people's lives, not exploiting them. I chose to study Medicine as I truly care for and want to help others live a better life.

anyone know the name of the journal that refused to publish the replicated studies. and also the name of the original research paper and who it was conducted by? thanks

Someone plz show this to Bill Gates!!!

when ted used to be good

It is good to see wisdom, where abounding knowledge is at work.

I know this video is old now, but has anything been done to fix this problem since then, or is it still out of control?

now you understand all those positive results in studies on the efficacy of face masks, social distancing and lockdowns? 😅

this explains the covid vaccines

David Noakes is in Wandsworth prison. He had 3 clinics treating cancer patients with GcMAF.

Thanks
