Hospital endorses research corruption

Everyone is outraged about the Harvard University scandal in which 3 self-anointed child psychiatry experts took payoffs from drug companies while conducting an important research project.

Everyone, that is, except for officials at a major hospital.

Officials at Massachusetts General Hospital praised the disgraced researchers as "beloved and trusted by thousands of grateful children and families", even as the U.S. Senate investigates them. The hospital endorsed what it calls "closely managed" collaboration with the drug industry.

You read that right: A hospital is supporting drug industry corruption of important research.

After the psychiatrists got millions from the pharmaceutical racket, it should be no surprise that their so-called research was followed by a steep rise in druggings of children.
