Anyone who is familiar with the numbers knows that "sanitation measures" were more effective than all of the other interventions you listed combined. But I didn't criticize sanitation, or vaccines, or any of the other things mentioned. I criticized chemotherapy. If you're excited about the prospect of zeroing-out the estate and suffering for an extra month or two to be a martyr for science, that is your business. When I read articles like this poorly disguised pharma PR piece, all that comes to my mind is, "Don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining." It is that bad.

- hello_computer 3y agoThat is all PR. None of this is the slow steady march of science. It is commerce. Blow smoke up enough asses, scam it through the FDA, profit, and be sure to have the next "breakthrough" ready before the last one is reassessed and exposed for the p-hacked con-job that it was. Many editors of the top journals resigned over this a long time ago, and will complain at length to anyone who will listen.
