That leads me to believe then that your allegation of political interference may be tough to substantiate, based on the fact that this was a study taken with a degree of self-selection, no outside ethics approval, and no peer review process. How are we to believe and substantiate these allegations when we don't have this framework in place that a normal academic study, for our academic colleagues here, would normally have to undertake when making such serious allegations? How are we supposed to take that seriously when some of these mechanisms aren't in place to clarify that?
