PRIME DRUGS PRACTICE
Ps430-009	The Epistemic Corruption of Biomedical Science
	Quote:	One prominent exception is STS scholar Sergio Sismondo, who has written widely about how pharmaceutical companies built a vast, industry-controlled pipeline of knowledge production that underpins medical practice. He calls the result "epistemic corruption:" a knowledge system that "loses integrity, ceasing to provide the kinds of trusted knowledge expected of it," because it has been co#8209;opted by interests at odds with its central goals. Unlike bribery or vote-rigging, epistemic corruption arises from dense financial, organizational, and reputational dependencies linking universities, journals, regulators, clinicians, and industry all of it legal. Science thus becomes less an impartial arbiter of truth than part of a propaganda apparatus through which dominant actors frame problems, filter evidence, and orchestrate consent.
	Comment:	Examples include Vitain C, Hydroxychloroquine, many other cheap and/or natural cures.
