I was surprised to learn that studies claiming low-dose radiation is harmful are of very poor quality and that, based on current evidence, low-dose nuclear radiation may not actually be dangerous. It is tempting to treat this as a classical "replication crisis" story. But to me, this is also an example of academia's ideological bias. Since the 70s at least, academia has been much more sympathetic to "degrowth" type arguments and has consistently been biased towards producing evidence that's in their favour. The reality is that studies with a slight "right-wing bias" of similar poor quality would not have made it through the review process. Obviously, no poor quality study should make through the process, but it is nonetheless interesting to consider what the ideological slant in terms of rigour of review causes. The crisis of trust we are seeing in institutions of higher education is not only due to the poor quality of some of the studies through, but also the clear ideological slant. I think you should read for yourself more about the nature of these studies: https://t.co/r32BlPJMi7
