Comment on Ethical frameworks are detrimental to Scientific Study because Science is by nature unethical.

To the pure science itself yes, but not to the larger environment resp. individuals. That’s why there are usually checks in place.

How can we have a proper double blind study if we are forced to tell the participants information that could impact the results of the study in order to gain informed consent?

That does not invalidate a double-blind study.

While I agree it does not invalidate the study because it is one of the gold standards, it is disingenuous to say that the information provided to gain informed consent in a double blind study has no impact on that study.

You seem to think that a double blind study is to measure the effect of a medication against “no medication”, but it is, in fact, to measure effect against placebo. Double blind is specifically designed to remove experimentator effect in a full consent framework. In fact, the study that are not done with consent, generally in a single blind (the experimentated) are always frowned upon by the community for good reasons.
