I think this is unnecessarily conspiratorial. Medical tests often have much more uncertainty than most expect, and many interventions are net negative on average. This particular research was new to me but I have seen a number of studies of cancer screenings and treatment showing the same or even worse effects. The recommended standards for some cancer screenings have been updated in recent years to be more restrained since it was shown they were having a negative effect in certain cases. Many tests have fairly high false positive rates. This leads to a lot of unnecessary treatment with negative health consequences. There are also a number of scenarios where treatment reduces the mortality rate from one specific issue, but increases mortality overall because of the associated harm of treatment. This isn't some homeopothy plug -- that stuff is nonsense. But I would suggest being somewhat skeptical of boilerplate medical advice.
