“As Evidence-based medicine became more influential, it was also hijacked to serve agendas different from what it originally aimed for,” notes John Ioannidis from Stanford University.

Later he continues saying, “Even its proponents suspect that something is wrong.”

“Influential randomized [drug] trials are largely done by and for the benefit of the [drug] industry,” notes John Ioannidis from Stanford University.

Meaning that they are not done to find scientific truth, but are simply done to sell more drugs.

Later he continues on this topic by saying, “It is just that they often ask the wrong questions with the wrong short-term surrogate outcomes, the wrong analyses, the wrong criteria for success… , and the wrong inferences, but who cares about these minor glitches?”

“Under market pressure, clinical medicine has been transformed to finance-based medicine,” notes John Ioannidis from Stanford University.

“In many places, medicine and health care are wasting societal resources and becoming a threat to human well-being,” notes John Ioannidis from Stanford University.
