You...do know how faulty/inadequate/flawed studies are discovered and discredited...right? It's with more science. It's a self-correcting process.
If you're bemoaning the atrocious job the media and other agenda-driven organizations portray science, then join the club. If you're worried about flawed studies sponsored by unscrupulous agencies, then again, join the club. The thing is that neither the anemic mass media marketing of scientific data nor the sinister skewing of studies by powerful lobbies are actually science, and these sorts of incorrect ideas are corrected only by science.
