This may be a heretical opinion in our capitalist dystopia but I don’t think influential people should ostentatiously work when ill, thus risking further harm to their immediate and long-term health, purely in order to show how tough and serious they are

If this research fraud set back a cure for Alzheimers by on average 10 years, it would have cost us 250 million quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). I'm sorry to use provocative language, but that would put it among history's worst crimes against humanity.
