New NIH Leadership Aims
to Restore the Public's Trust in Science
Is This America's Last Chance to Fix Its Broken Health System?
Story at-a-glance
- Despite medical advances, American life expectancy remained flat from 2012 to 2019 while European countries improved, indicating failed health institutions
- Current research rewards individual fame and publication volume over collaboration, honesty about failures, and meaningful health breakthroughs
- About half of biomedical research findings cannot be replicated, undermining scientific reliability due to emphasis on incentives
- Lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine rollouts lacked scientific backing, created social division, and disproportionately harmed marginalized populations
- The NIH aims to rebuild public confidence through transparency, open collaboration, honest communication about uncertainties, and refocusing on quality research.
- My analysis: We've been getting screwed and not loving it. This is sort of refreshing;. The necessary and welcomed pressure is being applied to the pharmaceutical establishment.
- "There is a God, after all!"
