I’m not sure that it’s safe to say “the majority” of medical research is wrong, but there is a strong push to publish or perish at most academic medical centers. This drives people to put together and publish studies which many times are small, underpowered, or dedicated to disproving a previous study just to get their names in print. Academia has made it so that publishing is even a requirement to graduate from a medical residency.

I could be wrong but I would think that most medical research isn't done in academia.

Most medical research (as opposed to pharmaceutical development) is done in academia.
