If it isn’t a randomized interventional study, and apparently now even those are subject to fraud, it doesn’t prove anything. They shouldn’t be discussed except in cases where a real study is impossible (global warming) or when trying to reason about which hypothesis should be tested next. It’s definitely a vein of ripe shit in our society, the misuse of epidemiology.

- agucova 5y agoEpidemiology is precisely one of those cases were very often a randomized control trial isn't feasible (or even ethical to begin with). Your argument is self-defeating. That's why countless time has been spent refining the techniques and methods used to make and understand those studies, and why the vast majority of experts balance different kind of studies while making decisions, not just RCTs.
