The scientific method is fine. Note that this is about certain psychiatric pharmaceuticals being found not to have the efficacy that was earlier claimed, in studies done by pharmaceutical companies who doctored results and played statistics games and selectively hid results that didn't support profitability.

It's fascinating to see the level of hubris in the corporate pharmaceutical industry, that after cornered and confronted with the fact that for decades their self-serving fabricated so called research is fraudulent, they would now have a conference to announce that the scientific method has failed.
