Narrative: It should not surprise us that over the past 40 years several authors have been notable in the strident condemnation of Chiropractic and its foundational premise. Among these have been Homola, Edzard Ernst, and Joe Keating Jr.
What is surprising is the identification of the several Chiropractors who hitched their wagon to this wave of bitterness including Australian Keith Charlton.
Chiropractic historian Simon Senzon has now published the incestuous networks formed by this academic echo chamber which cited each other, formed invalid argument, and grossly misread evidence.
As McCoy is now demonstrating, it is time for these papers to be effectively culled from the Chiropractic literature as they fail to demonstrate responsible scholarship and can not be reconciled with the reality of an evidence-based discipline.
