Smoke on this then

What the links did was present a case for industry bias and ties.  One that bias and connection is established, the connections between the industry's vaccines and the institute logically follow, unfamliar as you may be with the concept.

And, much as you may be unfamiliar with another concept, I merely ran the search and presented it intact and unbiased and with no picking and choosing either for duplications or for just the links that supported my argument (as opposed to someone who might pick only sites that ended in .gov or otherwise came from a mainstream publication),

Here, let's try it again and narrow the search a bit.  How about a Google search for "national Institute of Health bias in studies ties to industry"?  Now that does not say biased in favor of industry, mind you just bias and ties to industry.

Ready?  Here goes:

Oh dear! OK, maybe that was a bit unfair.  Just to be sure that we balance the scales, let's do a search for this phrase: national Institute of Health study bias to public

 

Surely, since the Institute is a public agency, such a search should return several hits about how the industry studies are skewed in favor of the public it allegedly serves.

 

And, so, the other side of the coin returns:

What?  I am shocked!

Well, not really.

"So your response to what the Geiers and Wakefield have done is "Well, no one's perfect.""

No, my response is that bias can exists in both industry funded and non-industry funded studies.  However studies have shown that it exists by a factor of 5 to 1 when it is industry funded.

Yep, that smell is definitely roast pork!
