If you have a bacterial infection, a relatively incompetent doctor giving you an antibiotic is going to do you a lot more good than the world's best homeopathis

If you have a bacterial infection, a relatively incompetent doctor giving you an antibiotic is going to do you a lot more good than the world's best homeopathist. The question then is whether therapy is more like medicine or more like homeopathy. This study suggests it might actually be worse than homeopathy which at least doesn't appear to cause worse outcomes than doing nothing.
