Bias in research is real, and now there's a list of things that make you crazy, including:

- Evidence that cell phones might not be the best thing for you

- Evidence that a vaccine might harm some people

- Evidence that some medical convention is wrong

All of these are things that we absolutely need to know if true, but even good evidence towards these points is dismissed as noise because there's a pseudoscience culture surrounding them.

It's really frustrating to see both social and scientific progress hampered by idiots acting as such.
