@DrStelling @tgilhou well obvious and tragicomic example on system level to me is climate change; we do opposite of the science; big risk
@DrStelling @andrewthesmart @tgilhou Eh? That was a bit of a leap. Agree with the sentiment of medicines belonging to everybody though.

@C7RKY A modest tax on the profits can help fund medication research- heck many pain meds are also narcotics@andrewthesmart@tgilhou -
@DrStelling@andrewthesmart@tgilhou Hmmm..I'd need more convincing that pharma deserve to be given access to such profit...for more profit. -
@C7RKY@andrewthesmart@tgilhou Meds wold be funded mostly by Public in financially transparent fashion -
@DrStelling@andrewthesmart@tgilhou Financially transparent is a start. But I want scientifically transparent too. We've neither currently. -
@C7RKY@DrStelling@andrewthesmart@tgilhou I agree, but it starts with intellectual honesty.#physicianhealthyself -
@Fenbeast@DrStelling@andrewthesmart@tgilhou Agreed. At every level, inc clinicians who confidently state 'according to medical evidence'. -
@C7RKY@Fenbeast@andrewthesmart@tgilhou If it's infallibility you seek, I suggest you try the math dept, not the medical one -
@DrStelling@Fenbeast@andrewthesmart@tgilhou Infallibility isn't the issue for me. I accept risk/errors. It's misrepresentation of those. - 2 more replies
