So you're advocating doing harm to my life (by blocking legitimate medicine), for the sake of supposedly protecting irrational hippies from themselves (which you may be able to do in this one area---but what about all the other ways they harm themselves)?
I can make my own decisions. Just like 99% of rational people, who are able to judge for themselves that homeopathy is nonsense.
- aestra 13y agoNobody is blocking legitimate medicine. It is just asked that you prove that it is legitimate medicine before you are allowed to sell it as medicine. That way consumers don't go into a store, find 30 "cures" 3 of which have actual evidence that they work. They might harm themselves by taking the treatment that doesn't work, thus delaying access to the evidence based treatment. > Just like 99% of rational people, who are able to judge for themselves that homeopathy is nonsense Rational people fall for pseudo science too, especially if it has a good salesperson behind it. Most people believe what others tell them without questioning. Very few look at the world skeptically. We need to blame the scam artist not the victim.
