When it comes to science and medicine, transparency is everything.
Scientific discourse requires all parties to be informed, and dissenting opinions, even if they are in the minority, need to be heard.
In medicine, how can people make the right decision for themselves if they aren’t given all of the relevant information?
According to the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration, transparency apparently is not important in either of these areas.
In fact, OSHA believes that transparency and telling the truth are a hindrance to the common good.
Why the hell not??
