Agreed. See my comment in this thread about the lack of scientific / medical input behind this.
If this museum visit scheme came in the form of a pill, it would require years of trials and data proving its efficacy. Why are politicans allowed to bypass the EMA?
- lupire 4y agoDoctors are allowed to prescribe exercise and vegetables without years of trials.
- wongarsu 4y agoIsn't this the very study you are calling for? Sure, it happens with an entire city at once, but given that there's little potential for harm I don't see the issue with that? Surely this experiment will give better data than a tiny study with two dozen participants.
- watwut 4y agoFirst, psychiatric drugs don't have entirely predictable impact. Choosing them and choosing their dosage is matter of trial and error for many patients. They also often have very heavy damaging side effects. And second, quite a lot of medical interventions or lifestyle recommendation don't actually have "years of trials and data proving their efficacy" - never did. The years of trials thing happen with drugs, because they are high risk. It does not happen with run of the mill "try to rest on bed", "take walks" kind of advice.
