Public health researcher Dr. Martin Makary claims in his new
book, Blind Spots, that “the pandemic was not a one-off in how the medical
establishment works. In fact, it was more the norm than the exception.”
Dr. Makary says that dogma, groupthink, and the suppression
of scientific debate describe the culture of the modern medical establishment.
He provides examples of public health recommendations and medical practices
that persist despite lacking evidence or being shown to be harmful. Dr. Makary
discusses weaknesses of the peer-review process for publishing scientific
articles, alleging government research grants and the preferred narratives of
“medical elites” affect the nature and quality of medical research. How did the
medical establishment get this broken? Did public policy break it? What policy
reforms can repair it? Please join us in discussing the book and its implications
with the author.
