This software was developed by Alex Rich, a grad student finishing a PhD on corporate influence on physicians. He previously discovered that the former Dean of Duke Medicine had aided the Sacklers. disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/when-a-unc-g…@DukeU has done nothing, of course. /2
Rich has been using software to match payments to physicians, with those physicians' disclosures in peer reviewed journals. SURPRISE! The physicians aren't always disclosing their corporate payments. disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/can-new-soft… /3
He did one study, presenting physicians w/ mocked up disclosures, traditionally placed at the bottom of a study in text. EXAMPLE: /4
He compared that to a graphic statement placed at the top of the article. This second example caused readers to scrutinize the study's conclusions more carefully.
EXAMPLE: /5
ALEX RICH: Most of these people believe they're doing the right thing. It just so happens that the majority of the things that they say tend to benefit a multi-billion-dollar corporation. disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/can-new-soft… /6

I think it was this long Twitter tirade that Rasmussen spit up that pushed me over the edge.
Nobody other than Angela Rasmussen seems to know "what the fuck he's talking about." /2
What pretty clear is that Angela Rasmussen knows exactly what she's talking about when it comes to social media promotion. She hasn't published much in the academic literature, but she's a Twitter star, going from 300 followers in 2019 to over 155k by summer 2020 /3
The Answer to Physician Misinformation is NOT More Physician Oversight disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/the-answer-t…
A long history of drug scandals abetted by corrupt doctors who never faced sanctions from their own profession makes clear that physicians cannot self-regulate /1
A New England Journal of Medicine essay argues that the solution to physician misinformation is...medical boards. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… Yet, physicians are rarely sanctioned by medial board, despite numerous drug scandals. /2

NIH spokesperson: “NIH does not comment on OIG investigations.” /2
I then asked about NIH working w/ the FBI to investigate EcoHealth Alliance grants. See this email uncovered by @theintercept /3
