Didn't we see the exact same thing a decade ago with mammograms and breast cancer?
I remember there being two issues, one being computer aided detection in mammograms at the time was terrible for false positives compared to an experienced doctor (the the computer-aided was a selling/marketing point so people tended to opt for it).
The second was mammograms no longer being recommended for certain age groups, as they were shown in studies to just be ineffective. There was a backlash against such recommendations, under a kind of 'better safe than sorry' argument.
