      Not again! @VPrasadMDMPH is at it again, doubling down on his "dunking on a 7' hoop" analogy. @medpagetoday, you really need to publish a rebuttal by a medical skeptic, as the eminent Dr. Prasad takes a germ of a reasonable point and turns it into 💩.https://www.medpagetoday.com/blogs/vinay-prasad/90109 …

      Candidates to write a rebuttal (besides me) include (obviously) @stevennovella, any @ScienceBasedMed blogger, @JHowardBrainMD, and a number of others.

      One fun thing: I actually agree that services for which the government and third party payers are most important. That's why we at SBM have consistently come out against Medicaid/Medicare/insurance funding for acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropractic, etc.

      Oh, wait? The eminent Dr. Prasad didn't know that the government pays for quackery? Is he even aware of how much quackery our veterans are being subjected to through @VeteransHealth? No? Why not?

          Personally, I'd turn his argument around on one point. Right now, #COVID19 disinformation is killing more people than "robotic surgery, prostate-specific antigen screening, or a new prescription drug" and so should be prioritized far more right now than what he does!😂

          In fact, what the eminent Dr. Prasad is found is arguably worse than these doctors. These doctors are trying and need guidance. Dr. Prasad is crapping on their efforts and mine.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/12/09/scientists-versus-central-conspiracy-theory-of-science-denial/ …
