Its BS.
And what's more, it was published. No integrity whatsoever.

First paragraph cites , the existence of whitepapers.

Ok so this is a scholarly piece?

Now for the arguments , We have
'1 Antipsychotics Are Tranquilizers:' after a very short opening paragraph.

Wow didn't know that, lets see some of the evidence, cant wait

After the next line after that we have this statement:
'Most are*major tranquilizers'

So not 'All' I thought, ok lets see the link, maybe, its a link to the reference.

When I clicked the link this is what I got

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1420867423...SIN=1420867423

A link to a book, and not a reference. So not particularly scholarly.

Until you look at the link, and see that all those tags 'linkCode' 'creative' these are basically, affiliate*link codes.

Which means if someone purchases that book using that link address he provided, SOMEONE GETS PAID, for just providing the link. Its a thank you to a person/person's for promoting the book.

It seems Matt's piece is not that scholarly, but he also want me to buy something, after a very short opening paragraph, for which someone profits from providing the link.

Mad in America a true rag in all senses of the word.
