Inventions that were censored and kept away from the public sector

This makes me think of the Tucker Automobile. Clearly the major car makers were intimidated by the advanced design features of that vehicle and drove the business in the ditch. Self interest stifles at times. It's like a high level executive that only hires employees viewed as less talented than the interviewer. The stifling effect of imposing the peter principle restrains improvement.

Some people, including a number of doctors and biochemists, believe ozone has remarkable healing properties. The advent of precise medical ozone generators has only recently allowed the mechanisms, action and possible toxicity of ozone to be evaluated by clinical trials. But despite anecdotal evidence of ozone therapy having caused remission in a variety of diseases, therapeutic use of ozone is not endorsed by health authorities or medical associations in any English speaking country, and most US states prohibit the marketing of ozone generators, its medical use, and even research and clinical trials of ozone therapy, so that doctors risk losing their medical licenses by administering or prescribing ozone therapies.
