This opinion piece from the BMJ entitled “The illusion of evidence based medicine” sets the stage: https://www.bmj.com/content/376/bmj.o702.

There is so much corruption and industry capture that it can be genuinely difficult to separate the real, unbiased science from “Big Pharma make number go up”. Telling people they are uneducated dipshits and to just “follow the science” ignores and further degrades the fundamental lack of trust.
