My brother is dying of a grade 4 brain tumor, and I've spend countless hours poring through papers. Horrifying to realize they may be falsified. I am always sceptical of pre-clinical studies since so many have tended to fail in the real world, but now I wonder how many were just fake? These aren't scientists but thieves robbing public money with no skin the game.

Reading through papers on cholangiocarcinoma: most of them ARE falsified. And I want to harm people for it. Only three new drugs in 29 years. And I can’t help but think it’s partially due to this.

Mother has stage 4 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

The deepest irony is of course that they themselves are probably going to get cancer at some point and die years earlier than if they hadn't poisoned the science.

Sorry to hear about your brother that is rough.
