Well, with an argument like that!
> if the signal is strong, it will be visible
> your specific example of it taking decades of massive deployment and close scrutiny to detect an effect significantly stronger than most drugs is ummm... flawed and not comparable for no reason I can articulate
okay buddy
That's okay, you're someone who thinks the FDA is in cahoots with insurers and drug companies to approve ineffective or unsafe drugs at scale lmao. And here you are arguing that the market would actually naturally detect exactly that.
- qsera 4mo ago> to detect an effect significantly stronger than most drugs.. What the heck are you smokin? Did paracetamol have a weaker affect on temperature than smoking causing cancer?
- estearum 4mo agoThat is correct. Smoking has a stronger effect on cancer rates than paracetamol does on fever (which itself is an extremely strong effect that can be proven in RCTs of just a few dozen people - far stronger than most drugs on the market). Thank you for demonstrating my point.
