TCM is not a single branch of "alt" theory, but a clusterfuck of inconsistent, contradictionary schools of thoughts which was umbrella-ed by state funded insitutions after 1949. Forget blind test, you can get 13 different perscriptions from 10 TCM doctors. I am not joking. During the pandemic, top-notch TCM scholars call Covid-19 warm-disease, another group categorize it as cold-disease. Some others name it wet-disease, they all came up with totally different "treatments", which basically boils down to dead bodies of insects and herbs. But why do billions of ppl believe in TCM anyway? Because scientific medicine is hard, and does not cover 100% symptoms. AFAIK There isn't a effective cure against viruses like antibiotics. This market is dominated by pain-killers and "alt" medicines. And yes sometimes ppl refuse or forget to take vaccines.
