Nope, my work was in wonderful humane areas of mental health and primary health care services integration, older adult mental health, and in the meaningful, significant, and full involvement of consumers of mental health ("patients") in the design, conduct, interpretation, and write-ups of research for publication and conference presentation. I have papers and conference presentations on this aspect of my work. Also worked in Indiana in the 1990's to close old psychiatric hospitals associated with many adverse outcomes and restrictive care and to institute more flexible, consumer participatory and consumer-run and community-based mental health services for the most vulnerable. There are so many good people who worked or still work in state and federal governments in research, evaluation and public health capacities who are horrified at what is taking place and furious at their life's work made meaningless and that they are now made a laughingstock for their earnest efforts to make the world a better place. Many of us are well trained in ethics, IRB committee work, and the laws and regulations. That is why we are now spending time on Substack's like Dr. Malone's. You might want to follow the work of Dr. Julie Ponesse, an ethicist who just resigned her academic post over the vaccine mandates: https://brownstone.org/articles/do-not-give-up-your-rights-dr-julie-ponesses-remarkable-speech/
