Abstract

In the previous article "Accurate Prediction on Clopidogrel's Abnormal Behaviors and Pharmacobehavioral Economics", the authors propose to establish new disciplines such as pharmacobehavioral economics. Although the establishment of a new discipline normally brings about a breakthrough in the development of the field, from December 2012 to  2022, this paper had been rejected by many journals, and the correct results of empirical studies turned into a hot potato. During this process, both invisible hand and visible hand became barriers to the formal publication of this article, justice and morality were ignored,and the market and regulators failed. So far, for clopidogrel whose global cumulative sales have surpassed $90 billion, the treatment guidelines based on the incorrect results of Phase III CAPRIE cannot be corrected, and the global medical economic resources have been excessively consumed for a long time. At present, the global COVID-19 is serious, but some false information has been widely publicized by some media, misleading the public, causing confusion in thinking, harming epidemic prevention and control, and interfering with economic recovery. In addition, the publication of false information or rumors by the media is also a fairly important factor leading to conflict and war. However, the rumour-mongering media is difficult to suppress. Therefore, we suggest that new disciplines such as quantitative media ethics etc. should be established to conduct ethical evaluation or hierarchical management of media behaviors from a new perspective, an eight-level grading standard for media based on publishing false information or rumors should also be established, so as to reduce the ability of inferior media to mislead the public, cultivate more peace fighters, build brotherly relations among nations, decrease the number of military and nuclear weapons, put an end to the development and use of genetic biological and chemical weapons, lower the number or intensity of wars or conflicts, and construct world stability, peace and sustainable development.[ The latest modified and updated version is: Version 9;  Li Liu, & Shangqin Liu.
