Dr. David H. “Orac” Gorski wins “Noballs” Prize

Dr. David H. Gorski, M.D., Ph.D., FACS a/k/a “Orac”, I’m calling you out

And I’m calling out the institutions with which you have a professional relationship

The Claim
======================================
[1] – 6/3/2013 – Gorski claimed:

“[I]f I had screwed up, I would have admitted it”
======================================
The LIE
======================================
[2] – 6/4/2013 – Gorski LIED:

” … Burzynski never explains which genes are targeted by antineoplastons … “
——————————————————————
[3] – 8/7/2013 – I pointed out to Gorski the majority of Burzynski’s publications which explain “which genes are targeted by antineoplastons … “, although there are even more
——————————————————————
[4] – DISCLAIMER: “Because he is still a working academic surgeon and researcher (and hopes to remain so until he retires, which means—hopefully–for another 20 years or possibly even more), Dr. Gorski must emphasize that the opinions expressed in his posts on SBM are his and his alone … “

Gorski might incorrectly assume that his DISCLAIMER is going to allow him to hide like a snake in the grass, but it’s NOT

I have yet to see his admission that he “screwed up”, even though he has claimed:
——————————————————————
[5] – “Our only goal is to promote high standards of science in medicine”
——————————————————————
[6] – 11/.2/2012 – “Personally, having pored over Burzynski’s publications … “
——————————————————————
[7] – 5/8/2013 – “I’ve searched Burzynski’s publications … “
——————————————————————
[8] – 5/31/2013 – “Burzynski has a contingent of defenders who have targeted skeptics like me for special abuse, up to and including harassing me at work by calling my university to complain about my online verbiage critical of Burzynski and implying that I am somehow doing something wrong”

“(My university quickly realized that I was not.)”
——————————————————————
[9] – 6/5/2013 – “ … I do know cancer science”
——————————————————————
[10] – 6/7/2013 – “Unlike Mr. Merola, I am indeed very concerned with getting my facts correct”
======================================
An Ethical Conundrum
======================================
To me, the message the institutions that Gorski is affiliated with are sending a message that it’s okay to LIE

and, we hire LIARS

And that’s the position I’m taking until Gorski puts on some Big Boy pants and takes accountability for his actions

Own it, Gorski
