- na85 7y agoI mean they explicitly stated that it's preliminary.
- gherig4 7y agoYou beat me to it. Regardless of how much you believe arguments from authority, The WHO has lost its place as an authority after their recent actions.
- chrisseaton 7y agoMaybe that’s what the data supported at the time? Shouldn’t we be going with data rather than ‘common sense’?
- AnthonyMouse 7y agoSometimes you have the luxury of multiple trustworthy parties having already each done a large sample size peer reviewed double blind study on just the question you want to know the answer to and have all come to the same conclusion. Other times that hasn't happened yet and you still need to make a decision about what to do today, not after six months of further study.
