@statnews so you want to let predators fleece families of their money in order to give false hope. -
Didn't say that
@JOEWV. Said "Not so simple." Doctors can & 50% say they DO help patients by prescribing placebos. → http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/24/health/24placebo.html@sapinker …https://twitter.com/JOEWV/status/818790153279967232 … -

Placebo eff. real&can help patient, but only if patient believes. Sometime patient best served if Dr shades truth. Complex.

Great article on the power of placebos

So much is lost in black-white thinking re: vax, to society's peril. Factors: DNA, vax solutions/preservatives
#openmind -
which vax preventable infectious disease are you alright with returning to kill thousands every year
-
Perfect example of all or nothing black and white thinking.
-
because it is black and white. You either prevent epidemics through vax or you don't. Where's the grey area?

the diseases they prevent are much more dangerous. Rubella in the 1960s caused 200,000 birth defects.
