> It seems a populist appeal to the idea that the medical institution has no idea what it is doing. Isn’t at least the section about false positives an indication that doctors know what they’re doing, and know what they cannot do? > Why did the author not present the institutional position or data supporting yearly checkups and why it's misleading? Because it’s not a scientific article? The article mentions the arguments and has links to a paper in the BMJ (paywalled, unfortunately) > We are not experts, we should leave decision making to people who know what they don't know rather than to people who don't know what they don't know (us). So, why do you want this article to show data supporting its claims?
