Enough: Why the WHI Continues to Misrepresent Its Own Breast Cancer Data
Why Are Leading Researchers Saying “Enough” to the WHI’s Breast Cancer Claims?
Because the Women’s Health Initiative continues to misrepresent its own data, perpetuating fear about hormone therapy based on findings that were never statistically significant. This response from prominent researchers calls out the WHI leadership for ongoing mischaracterization of breast cancer results that have denied effective treatment to millions of women.
Dr. Kumar’s Take
This is a remarkable moment in medical history when leading researchers publicly challenge the integrity of one of medicine’s most influential studies. The WHI’s continued insistence on promoting breast cancer fears, despite their own data showing no statistically significant increase, represents a failure of scientific responsibility. The real victims are the millions of women who have suffered needlessly because the medical community accepted these misrepresentations at face value.
