The Lack of Scientific Freedom - Conference Report (English, ondertiteld)

Follow the Science visited a conference called “Lack of Scientific Freedom; Cause Consequences and Cures” in Copenhagen Oct. 24 and 25 2022. What we heard there blew our mind: From scientists receiving death threats to scientists being attacked, fired and censored. Papers about “wrong” topics were retracted under false pretences, while papers that were clearly a candidate for retraction or even blatantly fraudulent were allowed to stay published.
Is science corrupted? Is it institutionalised? Can we reverse the trend? 'What we had not anticipated was that the lack of scientific freedom conference turned quintessential after we had filmed it. We received slander and defamation. Threats even, should we dare publish our report.
Kim Witczak asked us not to publish after her initial approval, having been misinformed by the organisation of the event, warning her we were ‘antivaxxers’. She herself tweets out this, so what is really going on here?
We decided to proceed on a path of transparency. In the introduction to this report we show you what happened to us, after we volunteered a preview of our report to the organizers of the event.
In part one through five you'll then see impressions of the lectures and debates by scientists such as John Ioannidis, Peter Gøtzsche and Tom Jefferson, and interviews by Michaéla Schippers and Rico Brouwer with some of the presenters. We have redacted out more than we had set out to do, as a result of the lack of scientific freedom that got imposed on us,

Follow the Science was invited by the organisation to film at this conference. We recorded some ten hours of sessions, which we edited down to less than 10% of what we filmed. After our editing was complete, defamation, slander and threats befell us, should we choose to publish.
Intimidation does not solve the lack of scientific freedom, it exposes it. Our apologies to the audience and to the speakers who asked us to publish from their sessions. We refer you to the meeting organisers who also filmed at the event. We urge them to publish as transparently, as we had set out to do.
Conflict amongst ourselves, only has losers. Let’s choose a different path.
We understand the lectures and debates can (after they have been released) be seen in whole through the event website: https://www.scientificfreedom.dk/2021/12/15/lack-of-scientific-freedom-causes-consequences-and-cures/
