>governments world wide can agree on a policy that forces all health care institutions to register their data in a central database
Not a terrible idea. But the hurdles to doing that are, ofc, more political than scientific.
>If true then we have another kind of problem with science: mystification like only a select few priests know how to read the bible and keep the true meaning of the word to themselves.
Some do a better job communicating this stuff than others. The bigger problem is with the general public. A lot of people regurgitate headlines without reading the article and come away with a retarded impression of what actually goes on with scientific research.
It's not like the researchers are gatekeeping anything. They just suck balls at communicating their findings to the general public because they're mostly autists whose fixation happens to be their field of specialization.
>Is there a way to gain this secret knowledge other than going back to school and get hired as a researcher?
First step: learn the basic fundamentals. Avoid anything remotely "cutting edge" until you have a firm grip on what the standard interpretation is.
Focus particularly on building your vocabulary. Words can have very specific and nuanced meanings in a given context. Big words don't exist just to make the speaker sound smart. If you're not sure what a word means, the thing you're reading is probably beyond your level for the time being.
Final bit of advice: if "the experts" say something that doesn't seem to make sense and some guy on YouTube says something that sounds like it makes more sense, the first possibility you should work to rule out is "the expert has some bit of knowledge/understanding that you and the YouTube guy are missing."
