Give me a break. Of course I didn't access files. I don't need to, no one does, not to draw a logical conclusion.
This demand for evidence is just another tactic to turn the question, make the questioner the object, it is an old and transparent tactic.
Evidence is not needed, facts are known and indisputable and if I were to start citing evidence, eyes would glaze over and none would read.
I notice that you are extremely defensive
And no I am not against researach, I am against the misuse of research by PhARMA, AHIP and corporations in general.
Lots of government sponsored research is used by, free of charge, by corporations.
The reason a corporation would want one to answer a health questionairre is to help them determine which genes are associated with diseases. They already have a lot of that information, but always want more.
You said: The statement you made above is false. Not all university research is funded by corporations
Strawman defense (thanks) I did not say ALL university research is privately funded, but a lot of it is, probably most.
Simple fact is that Universities are cash strapped these days, so are state governments and the Republican congress has ideological/religious motives for cutting funding for education and research.
So where do Universities get their money for research? From Corporations and foundations funded by corporations.
I shouldn't have to explain to anyone, this is something a rational, educated, perceptive person would know or intuit.
And I am not talking about bad science. I am talking about using the results of scientific study for the profit motive, quarterly reports, to show to the shareholders and of course get raises and bonuses for CEO;s, CFO's and other executives.
By the way, these "Health questionaiires" are innocuoos, but the answers that are provided can be put to many uses, good and bad.
You may have been great in the lab, but you were not and are not an administrator, even someone who puts together a budget, has no idea where the funds for that budget come from. That is the job of the Dean, the Department heads, the grants administrators.
I was a grants administrator for a non profit, and not even the department heads knew or cared where the money came from, all they cared about was putting together their budget and getting the money to operate.
