Obviously not all of them. And obviously there is corruption and mistakes with anything involving humans. What's so funny is that when people make criticisms like this, they always leave out the alternative. What's the alternative? Trusting mostly uneducated influencers and quacks who do even less research and don't even attempt peer review?

And those who are not supposed to be quacks will commit fraud anyway. Which is why you shouldn’t trust anyone.

Good idea, trust no one, get nothing.

Why not move back into a cave and stab your own meat with a sharpened stick next.
