Does epidemiology have a well-publicized replication crisis with numerous examples of outright fraud from high-profile researchers? If so then yes. If not then why don’t you just say what you’re trying to say rather than imply it obliquely in the form of a question?
- rackjack 5y agoThey need to imply it obliquely because their arguments tend to fall apart under scrutiny.
- tboyd47 5y agoMy “argument,” which is really more of an observation since we’re not debating anything, is clear. Epidemiology, as a social science, should not escape the same skepticism we approach the other social sciences with. Perhaps my comment is slightly off-topic, but I just like to leave a friendly reminder since I don’t find epidemiological conclusions under enough scrutiny in public fora these days.
