I would say very few in the medical community would even agree to that
Cool story bro, but I disagree. If we were following the scientific method how to explain why 70% of studies cannot be reproduced?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis#Political_r...
"A similar survey by Nature on 1,576 researchers who took a brief online questionnaire on reproducibility showed that more than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments, and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments."
Not to mention that basically all studies are paid for by one of only 3 (connected) sources - military, government or corporations.
If you control the purse strings, you decide what to (or not to) study.
