No-fault researches |

reductionist big brains |
We have been discussing for sometime how our reductionist big brains have been entertaining |
research after research in a recursive and non stop fashion for the sake of research, Crown | |
corporate welfare, and above all the saving of Medicare. In Saskatchewan, our evidence based | |
researches have become more sophisticated and now instead of dumping researches in the toilette | |
we dump them against front line health workers(1). | |
|
|
irrelevant researches |
We don't know yet how patient our workers are going to be, but it is certain that they are |
beginning to speak out in the face of the continuous dumping by our big brains(2). But don't | |
think that irrelevant researches are occurring only in Saskatchewan, they are spread all over the | |
world. | |
|
|
planned confusion |
See, with the globalization promoted by the World Trade Organization we are supporting |
no-fault governments and as a consequence we are supporting no-fault researches, and as | |
a consequence we are supporting the commercialization of researches. Therefore, all over | |
the world we find that researches are conducted in a state of planned confusion, that is we | |
conduct research after research for eventually coming up with a breakthrough, the invention | |
of a service or of a product for which all mankind is going to be addicted for the benefit of | |
our corporate welfare. | |
|
|
wearing of a bra |
So, today, I read a study concluding that the wearing of a bra is correlated to breast pains |
and cysts(3). Our reductionist researchers are smart, they put themselves on a higher pedestal | |
than ours and say: A hundred women who regularly suffered from breast pain or cysts were | |
asked to go without a bra for three months and then return to wearing one for three months to | |
see if there was any difference. The researchers found that pre-menopausal women not wearing | |
a bra experienced a 7% reduction in the number of days they suffered breast pain. However, little | |
benefit was found for post-menopausal women. | |
|
|
industrialized researches |
This research reminds me of the industrialized researches we covered in a previous article(4) |
and I would not be surprised that as a spin off of this "bras research" we are going to have | |
another research related to the wearing of a specific commercial bras and purporting the claim | |
that this commercial bras reduces the development of breast pains and cysts. | |
|
|
personal financial relationships |
We are reaching the stage where our scientific researches are becoming pure frauds. In this |
respect we can refer to Dr. David Cassidy's study on no-fault insurance(5) and to the ongoing | |
concerns of an increasing number of researchers having personal financial relationships | |
with their sponsors(6) and the lack of stringent policies by major research institutions to cope | |
with conflict of interests(7). | |
|
|
nice province |
Now you know why Dr. P. Cote, a collaborator of Dr. Cassidy, has stated that Saskatchewan is a |
nice province to do research(8). | |
