Consensus is the enemy of science. Particularly a fake consensus, What about the consensus on Ptolemy, or spontaneous generation, or bad air as the cause of malaria, etc.

I saw that article and was highly tempted to blog about it. I might just do so, given that deceptively conflating legal standards of evidence with scientific standards is a favorite crank ploy.

Well at least she acknowledged her initial argument was foolish. The “single observation” has now become an n=1000s. Granted, she can’t prove any if this, just cite crank literature that we should rely on evidence based on adversarial debate because we only prove whats funded.

Truths from this thread: 1. Education is not an absolute shield against the seductive allure of idiocy. 2. Medical conspiracy-mongers try to sell the notion that current evidence-based consensus should be regarded with suspicion bcuz understanding of science sometimes changes.

Yes. Clearly a superior system would declare something true and then *never change* no matter where the evidence goes. If it changed it could be fallible right? We can’t have people believing in fallible beliefs! That’s how you get protestants!

Legal standards conveniently do not apply here because vaccine manufacturers are immune from liability. What a coup! How many times does B have to follow A, without other explanation, to suspect a link? If A is a vaccine? If A is anything else?

Did you read the article, or do you just automatically dismiss and demean anything without AMA imprimatur?

Yes. I even included the specific criticism of it’s conspiratorial regard of grant funding tucked away at the end as well as absurd notions that we should use legal notions of proof in medicine. Don’t compare your rag to JAMA.The next closest journal is “Medical Hypotheses.”
