published on 23.05.2008, known for its biased coverage skeptics club GWUP a press release (1) in which club head Sarma Amardeo the internationally renowned scientist Prof. Dr. Stefan N. Willich (2) , director of the Institute of Social Medicine, Epidemiology and Health Economics at the Berlin Charité, indirectly, the manipulation and falsification of research results in favor of paying principal subordinate. Amardeo Sarma has occupied his slanderous accusations today either by concrete examples withdrawn. He goes against the press code (3) the German Press Council and exposes himself to the suspect knowingly operate character assassination.
accompanied the delicate issue GWUP.WATCH now for some time. On 14 April 2009, GWUP.WATCH first time the question "GWUP criticized new Chair of Complementary Medicine at the Charité. Legitimate criticism and character assassination? "The answer was Roßdorf stony silence, even though leading GWUP heads this weblog closely. In the discussed here GWUP press release can be found include the words:
as kowtowing to the alternative medicine lobby, the company criticized the scientific study of para-science (GWUP eV) the circumstances of the establishment of an endowed professorship for "Complementary Medicine at the Charité in Berlin.
Initial statements by parties and leaders of the Charité, as Stefan Willich, however, promised for the adherence to scientific standards, little good.
"Scientific methods will appear as long as the needs are of the alternative medicine adjusted until they achieve the results that the representatives of the" do "Complementary medicine, Sarma. Should Charité not elementary principles subject of science board .
Those who back out of the window, leaning, which is his insinuations certainly can prove with hard facts and strong arguments. Who is right in front of whom on their knees? Why does little good to be expected? Who fits exactly as long as scientific methods to the needs of alternative medicine, until they achieve that desired results? Who throws just before the background of what basic principles of the scientific arguments on board?
Unfortunately Amardeo Sarma not answered all these questions today. This GWUP.WATCH led to the ironic satire interview "GWUP Conference 2009: Interview with Amardeo Sarma, CEO of professional skeptics." The interview has taken place in this form, of course, never. However, it illustrates the background of the entire history of dirt, as they appear from the perspective of GWUP.WATCH. The professional backgrounds (4) has shown the way, the H. blog in May of this year.
It is the core to the concerns of the established health care research, the weaknesses of randomized clinical trials (RCT) by additional observational studies to compensate. RCTs should not be abolished as of Amardeo Sarma (in the field of medical research is a professional amateur) incorrectly assumed and replaced by supposedly inferior types of studies. RCTs should instead be supplemented by additional observational studies, since they have a higher compared with RCTs have so-called external validity.
background of Press release is therefore a misunderstanding. And publications such as that of Prof. Claudia Witt in the German Medical Journal published review : "Complementary medicine research is the basis for further integration in the supply" are a sign that has misled Mr Sarma pretty. He did so well to the interview with Prof. Dr. Stefan N. to seek Willich, to apologize. Just that he does not. Mr. Sarma wishes to all appearances, that this embarrassing issue for him is forgotten as quickly as possible. In his audacious-dumb press release can be found at the end, the words "The GWUP is the further development this chair to watch with great interest. "
As long GWUP chief Amardeo Sarma neither his slanderous allegations by evidence, apologized with Professor Willich, also GWUP.WATCH further development will follow in this area with great interest.
