Some segments on HN have strong anti-scientist sentiments (even while they proclaim to be pro-science), assumine we all are crooked, stupid or both, hence your insightful and reasonable comment being downvoted.

Is there fraud? Sure. Is there a lot of fraud happening in American science? I don't think so. To quote the article:

"Many of the trials came from the same countries (Egypt, China, India, Iran, Japan, South Korea, and Turkey), and when John Ioannidis, a professor at Stanford University, examined individual patient data from trials submitted from those countries to Anaesthesia during a year he found that many were false: 100% (7/7) in Egypt; 75% (3/ 4) in Iran; 54% (7/13) in India; 46% (22/48) in China; 40% (2/5) in Turkey; 25% (5/20) in South Korea; and 18% (2/11) in Japan. Most of the trials were zombies. Ioannidis concluded that there are hundreds of thousands of zombie trials published from those countries alone. "
