There are many kinds of research, not all is bad so do not throw it all out. However, all pharma research is contaminated by money. Medical research is often contaminated by the needs of big pharma. Now add to this the increasing levels of dishonesty and incompetence in science, due to morals of the times, and degradation of universities. I am personally aware of the effect of morals of foreign students from at least three countries, in universities, and would not trust many of them because of their shoddy results.
Once they move into industry they lower the level of trustworthiness of papers. And the honest ones are subject to censorship in the name of agendas. All in all, never trust data based on fraudulent statistics, which is too easy to manipulate. In clinical trials, 84% of serial killers drank milk, suggesting we should ban milk until we develop a vaccine against serial killing.
I was surprised Ioannidis kept his job at Stanford after he proved - years ago - that double-blind studies are essentially worthless. But then everyone just ignored him, so all's good.
