Science is a process, not a product.<br /><br />Given this, one must acknowledge the study (Ioannidis, 2005), that most published research is simply wrong, especially in the field of medical research. (Why Most Published Research Findings Are False, http://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.0020124<br /><br />"There is increasing concern that in modern research, false findings may be the majority or even the vast majority of published research claims [6–8]. However, this should not be surprising. It can be proven that most claimed research findings are false."<br /><br /><br />Ioannidis JPA (2005) Why Most Published Research Findings Are False.

Fortunately for me a vaccine had been developed and as a public health measure all students (with a few religious exceptions) were required to be vaccinated. Polio was virtually eliminated in the U.S. I never noticed an upsurge in any type of mental illness.

Making blanket statements like that without evidence to support your claim is not a demonstration of "intelligent ppl".
