How can we tell the difference between reputable research and the works of a self-proclaimed "scientist" working for the Q Continuum? LOL! Better the Pfizer 'revolving door' money system, right? It was good enough for the Robber Barons so lets just go with it.

Once upon a time scientists would work on a theory or a project for decades, perhaps a lifetime. Today's researcher is eager to gobble up grant money so he generates a lot of useless papers, one professor of my acquaintance spends half his working time chasing down grant money and applying for his students. I've seen peer-review up close and it is political, for instance two reviewers of my acquaintance wanted to be invited to a symposium in Peking a few years ago. They were charged with reviewing an academic paper submitted to a journal they are editors for from a professor in Peking. They both knew they had to give the Chinese paper a passing grade to get an official invite to Peking, after a few edits lost in translation they were eating pheasant under glass in Peking. The Chinese professor's paper was prepared by two of his students and fraught with plagiarism, some from an old paper of one of the two reviewers from the University of Brno. The purse strings of peer review represent the politicization and control of scientists by bureaucrats. You can have the last word, I'm not afraid of your judgement.
