We see it everywhere.

And the journals are utterly corrupt because they're owned by the pharmaceutical companies.
And so people read a journal and they think, oh, this is science.
But even Marsha Engel, the one that ran the New England Journal of Medicine for 20 years, has said, you can't believe anything in the journals anymore.
They're just propaganda vessels for the pharmaceutical company.
Richard Horton, who were in Lancet,
who still runs it, says the same thing at the, you know, the journals.
And those are the people running them?
What happens, they make huge amounts of money.
And they make money from advertising, which is paid for by pharmaceutical companies.
And through a scheme called preprints, where the pharmaceutical company plans the story.
They pay for the journal about a drug that they're trying to promote.
They pay the journal to print the story.
And then they get a preprint.
So it's a very neat looking, you know, copy of their article with the cover sheet of the New England Journal of Medicine on it.
And then they distribute that to their pharmaceutical reps who are like, you know, former Playboy models who go out and talk to the doctors.
And they give that to the doctor and say this drug works.
You know, do you want to have lunch?
