Actually , .@morphingreality, it is always wise to find out who paid for or commissioned any piece of research, especially if it is 'peer-reviewed' (Ho Ho, see https://t.co/EQnLGofTOu ) — PolitiTweet.org
Morphing Reality @MorphingReality
@AEemus @ClarkeMicah @zenstrategist They cite their sources, like the American journal of surgery, which probably don’t share that bias.
