At Retraction Watch: The official journal of the Canadian Paediatric Society has just acknowledged that more than 100 of its case reports are fabricated.

Paediatrics & Child Health, the journal of the Canadian Paediatric Society, has published the cases since 2000 in articles for a series for its Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program. The articles usually start with a case description followed by “learning points” that include statistics, clinical observations and data from CPSP. The peer-reviewed articles don’t state anywhere the cases described are fictional.
The corrections come following a January article in New Yorker magazine that mentioned one of the reports — “Baby boy blue,” a case published in 2010 describing an infant who showed signs of opioid exposure via breast milk while his mother was taking acetaminophen with codeine. The New Yorker article made public an admission by one of the coauthors that the case was made up.

If people knew how much of a fraud most of academic publishing is they would never take the word "expert" seriously again.

Hang the experts. I loath listening to the experts says or the experts that. Experts are just the media pushing their agenda and talking points. Also experts are all lefty woke retarded fookers when you look em up. The lefts heros and experts also generally end up being pedos and groomers.

Rope .. get the ROPE!
