Don't see "money can corrupt research" as much as money has reduced results which counter any research that might reduce sales or harm reputations. All in all, the truth generally can't be suppressed indefinitely, I hope.
I suspect complacency in the public allows all these injustices to society to take root. We are simply unaware and too busy with our own concerns to take notice. The public is not aware that they were nudged into fear via tools that directly influenced them. That was admitted by UK authorities, but not yet in the US or other places We can't be sure if they coordinated among themselves. Once the mission was at work: of create fear, create the ONLY savior of vaccines and then inhibit any counters in the name of reducing vaccine hesitancy. Then authorities lined up as believers, all the way to today where their failures are becoming known.
In education seems naming and shaming has been the nudge along with suppression of counter actions. Until we had TV coverage of parents in VA complaining in raucous public displays, we were unaware of what schools had been doing. Parents now aware are fighting back to reclaim their children. But as your previous articles note, the corruption in the schools has been underway a long time. Protesting over George Floyd was a fine act of sympathy, until it because a message for equity instead of equality. Accepting gays and trans was OK until male poseurs started to knock females off their earned perch. The public is more aware and change may be underway for reform.
I found out today on oct.21 that Stanford is forcing students and faculty to use Vax. Speaking of Stanford, I wonder why it's the world's best. Although there are many Nobel Prize winners, are donations from Pfizer, Moderna, etc. large?
While a given researcher's work may be relatively inexpensive, we need to remember that they also need a salary in order to live--they have rent, utilities and so on. Being "controversial" can mean they have difficulties in this area, and it's magnified if they have a family.
It would be interesting to develop some sort of subscription service, like Patreon but without its Woke politics, that would enable these people to continue their work if they should be de-platformed or de-personed. Would enough regular folks find enough value in their work to fund them adequately?
I wonder. Gab is proof that a crowd-funded social media site can work. With all the authors on Substack working on this (and I assume getting paid by some subset of their readers), it might be worth a try. Perhaps some Peter Thiel-type might pony up for the startup costs.
It has the positive note of never having been tried so far as I'm aware.

Et tu, Stanford?

Stanford was at the epicenter of Silicon Valley. They have a rich endowment. IMHO they are, like Harvard, coasting on a reputation earned long ago.

That is the right question. In many cases, no.
