Several times EVERY SINGLE DAY some troll posts (or emails me) the below article as proof I'm a pharma shill. Huh?

This was a peer reviewed grant from the independent @CIHR_IRSC to study misinformation. I didn't receive a dime. Funds held by university & supported students, (peer reviewed) research, etc.

Yes, the peer review grant process NOT perfect. I welcome suggestions on sources of research support that are more independent.
