      Every time it’s been tested in a controlled fashion it has failed in sepsis, septic shock, most recently with VITAMINS trial. It is a religion, not a therapy. No reason to think COVID will be different, and a treatment would be lovely, I just think the pretest probability is low.

      Thank you for your swift and honest response! I didn't know what to make of it. All I know from what I read on http://sciencebasedmedicine.org  is that vitamin supplement/IV therapies is basically failures and quackery. But, this Richard Cheng is MD PhD and has very flashy education. /1

      But, surely even physician scientists can fall victim of quackery and conspiracy theories. But, I think like you, it would be appropriate to be cautious about this more vitamin treatment. "the pretest probability is low" sounds more appropriate based on other studies on it. /2

      Sure. Intelligence and education are protective but not absolute protection from pseudoscience, conspiracism, and quackery. One of the most intelligent people I know was waxing conspiratorial about COVID the other day and I was somewhat appalled but not too surprised.

      Yep. I’ve overheard doctors saying that this will be all over in three weeks and repeating some common conspiracy theories about big pharma. We’re by no means immune. Hell, a lot of doctors support Donald Trump.

          "Hell, a lot of doctors support Donald Trump." LOL like plastic surgeons cause they make a lot of money?

          Cognitive Dissonance is a scientist who votes for Trump. Are tax cuts causal or related.
