The Cochrane Collaboration is a grassroots organisation founded in 1993 that publishes systematic reviews of healthcare interventions. It was highly successful in its early years but is now moribund. https://t.co/TNHJHJsAee. A commentator wrote about my article: “Devastating documentation of institutional capture through specific case studies. The pattern of rejecting high-quality systematic reviews while publishing politically convenient ones cuts to the heart of epistemic corruption in science. I've watched similar dynamics unfold in other "trusted" institutions where the need to protect reputation overrides commitment to evidence. The mammography screening censorship is particularly telling since the data has been public since 2001 yet Cochrane still rejected publication based on potential "firestorm" concerns.”
