Meta studies on vaccines find them to be generally effective [1] but the government has managed to screw up major drives and damage peoples view of vaccines because of those [2]. Psychiatry on the other hand has evidence that disappears every time someone tries to replicate original drug trials: >The replication crisis addresses a fundamental problem in psychological research. Reported associations are systematically inflated and many published results do not replicate, suggesting that the scientific psychological literature is replete with false-positive findings (Pashler and Harris, 2012; Yong, 2012; Aarts et al., 2015) [...] outline some specific issues underscoring that inconsistent and systematically biased research findings persistently compromise the yield of clinical research. >Concerning replicability in psychotherapy research, the main question to pose is: How much can we rely on the published evidence? To start with it needs to be acknowledged that the average efficacy of psychotherapy based on the scientific literature is systematically overestimated due to publication bias (Cuijpers et al., 2010a; Driessen et al., 2015; Cristea et al., 2017a).
