I, too, find it puzzling. I don't discount the work of those who hold pharma to task and demand higher standards of evidence for conventional medical interventions. Quite the contrary! I applaud them. We should be natural allies! But for some reason we're not. 1/https://twitter.com/auscandoc/status/1189604527990702080 …

Unfortunately, none of this is new. This very attitude on the part of such doctors, be they shruggies or docs who think that docs who take on pharma are cool while those taking on quackery drool, has been a longstanding impediment to combatting pseudoscience in medicine. 5/5

And here's powerful evidence of harm. I think partly the issue is who one's audience is. Debunking woo to doctors is trivially easy & so those who write for other doctors don't value it. Debunking woo to the general public is hard- and less valued.https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2017/alternative-medicine-cancer-survival …
