It probably means that you take the statistical evidence produced by massive double-blinded placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials as actual evidence

- qsera 4mo agoThat is not really an evidence unless you yourself eliminate any biases or flaws in the trial methodology. Even trained professionals fail to do that regularly...
- estearum 4mo agoNo, not really. The correct claim is "all evidence is imperfect." But an FDA approved, Phase 3, double-blinded, placebo-controlled randomized trial is the strongest form of evidence that we have for anything at all.
- qsera 4mo agoIf it is not good enough, then it does not matter if it is the best available. Nature does not give a damn what the best solution humanity can come up with at some arbitrary point in time.
- estearum 4mo agoIt is absolutely good enough lol. We have effective statistical certainty in the results. Tell me: how do you know the food you eat is safe? How about the water? The air? Do you take any other medicines? All of those are less well-understood than the COVID vaccines.
- qsera 4mo ago> We have effective statistical certainty in the results. Only if you blindly trust the entities that is doing the studies. Seriously, I am not sure how anyone with a couple of brain cells between their ears can do that. >Tell me: how do you know the food you eat is safe? How about the water? The air? I don't. But one don't have a choice. But for other things, one certainly do.
- estearum 4mo agoNo, you really don't need to "blindly trust" the entities doing the studies. I work in clinical trials. I know how they work. You do not.
- qsera 4mo ago>I work in clinical trials. I know how they work. You do not. Ah, that makes perfect sense. It is hard for a man to understand something when their salary depends on them not understanding it.
- estearum 4mo agoIt's even harder when he's completely uncurious about how the world actually works ;)
- qsera 4mo agoBeing curious does not help much if you are easily satisfied by bullshit answers, like "It works because I said so!"
- estearum 4mo agoImagine thinking that placebo-controlled, double-blinded randomized clinical trials say "it works because I said so." Surprised you don't fall out of your own shoes in your upside-down world.
