Why is it better to decentralize the burden of checking the science behind efficacy claims?
- jefftk 4y agoIt's primarily not centralizing checking the science I object to, but the setting a single threshold for all of society. People vary a lot in what level of efficacy evidence would make taking a given medication worth it for them, and in cases where safety evaluation has already gotten us to where the downside looks like "it doesn't do much, money wasted" I think making distribution of the substance illegal is much too restrictive.
