Docs Want Censorship of Study Showing Cancer Risk from Heart Drug: Bizarre Arguments
When questioned about the recent study documenting increased rates of cancer in people taking the popular blood pressure ARB (angiotensin-receptor blockiers), many leading doctors responded with expletives. They’re particularly horrified that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has the gall to review ARBs for the increased risk. In short, they think the study should have been censored.
Nature of Complaints
Complaints about the study and its publication were quite varied, but taking them one-by-one, it’s fairly obvious that the speakers are grasping at straws. Here are some examples:
The “Someone Else Didn’t Publish It” Argument
One complaint was that the Lancet refused to publish the study, though its daughter publication, Lancet Oncology accepted it. To be blunt, the simple fact of the matter is that a journal focused on cancer is a better place for publication than the more general parent journal.
The “They Shouldn’t Have Published It” Argument
According to Dr. Sverre Kjeldsen, Secretary of the European Society of Hypertension, “…nobody can explain why they accepted it. This is very strange.” In fact, the paper went through the usual peer-review analysis. The only thing strange here is Kjeldsen’s grasping at such an obviously nonsensical reason to distrust the study.
The “Authors Live Too Near Each Other” Argument
The American Society of Hypertension president, Dr. George Bakris, finds it suspicious that the lead author of the paper and the author of a related editorial by the Lancet ”…are both in the same town. I am a little concerned and would fault Lancet for not being more discriminating in who they got to write their editorial.”
Oh my! Perhaps we need to refine the rules about relative distance between the homes of authors. If they live within, say, one mile, does it indicate a conflict of interest? Should they be allowed to live within the same county? The same state? Apparently, medical journals have been remiss in not defining an algorithm for acceptable distance between editorial and research authors.
