Gee, you don't suppose the cartel wouldn't be having writers pretending to do 'research' to verify such a huge profit mongering agenda.
Heck, they own all the publishing houses, and journal publishing, fund or own all the more advanced labs--how hard would that be, do you supposed.
They are totally able to support any money making scheme they want. Please don't be naive. These cartel owners are GREEDY lying thieving murderous bastards; why wouldn't they??
