It talks about the history of the HCQ debacle and in the process taught me quite a lot about medical study methodology/epistemology.
- jimhefferon 6y agoIt appears to, at one point, just as a sideline, sneer at those who assert that homeopathy is quackery. To at least my layman's mind, that considerably drops the credibility of anything else it says.

- f154hfds 6y agoI looked for homeopathy in the article to understand what you were getting at. To disregard a long article such as this on one sentence doesn't seem fair. The article if anything is about epistemology - so the sneer is in reference to doctors assuming they 'know' the only correct ways to draw conclusions (and the article did take a dark twist indeed referencing the opioid epidemic). As a layman though, I don't know what it is referring to about Europe's relationship to homeopathy. I would be curious for a more knowledgeable person to weigh in on that.
- jimhefferon 6y agoWell, as I say, I am a layman. To a person like me, trying to judge from what I do know, that was a show-stopper.
