So, if funds and grants are provided, invitations to symposiums offered, chances of being published and academically and professionally promoted, mostly to those that toe the party line, that is where the scientists would go. Just human.
Maybe your kind of human, but not the humans I know.
You've just denigrated all scientists, authors of much of what we now call "progress". You know, smallpox eradication, GPS, the Internet, dune buggies on Mars, IBIS, drive-thru hamburgers...
Now, for some scientists working for Big Pharma, sure. We have lots of evidence that those scientists do that as a matter of course. And I'm sure that there are SOME scientists that align their work (and their results) in order to further their careers. But to tar all of scientists with that same brush? Again, bit of a stretch. Pretty cynical, too, if you ask me.
