Re: The illusion of evidence based medicine

Dear Editor,
Thank you Jon Jureidini for another necessary reminder of the corruption which has occurred in universities regarding evidence based medicine.
Your previous work , such as the critical analysis of Study 329 was groundbreaking in highlighting the corruption which occurs when big pharma is allowed to run and control clinical trials.
Nothing has changed since then, in fact, the process seems only to have accelerated, proving that financial gains will always trump good science unless we change our broken system.
Thanks again for your good work.
