As long as that’s true, the case for high standards is a lot more sympathetic. Crappy studies are, indeed, crappy, and rarely worth betting a patient’s health on.

Yeah, one "bad" scenario is one in which there just isn't a financial incentive to actually test treatment effectiveness unless it's mandated by law.

BTW - undoubtedly elective procedures have been completely squashed in this pandemic, and yet “excess deaths” is up. Eg saw a tweeter note that for the first time ever they have no nosocomial dificil C in his hospital. So COVID deaths are prob actually greater than excess deaths.

I dunno if 3 months is a long enough time to judge the net effect. Seems plausible a lot of people are being spared the risk of dying from surgical complications, only to die (or have decreased quality of life) months/years later.
