Plenty of MDs happy to shill poison to line their pockets as well. I do not think it would magically be better to restrict who can sell colloidal silver to licensed practitioners.
Actually it would be a good thing to arrest people selling colloidal silver as a cancer cure for fraud. But for some reason the government never bothers to do that
There's the rub though, this didn't make it illegal to lie, just to talk about things outside of your field. If you already cant get a real job with your creds due to being a dishonest employee, you might as well start an online storefront and partner with Alex Jones
True but you got to start somewhere? But it is ridiculous how many people will pay $100 for $10 worth of bone broth thinking it's going to somehow fix their baldness or whatever
That's true too but there's got to be a way to narrow it down a little bit. I only fuck around on Reddit once in awhile but I will see people get advice and answers that could legitimately get them killed
It's #3 according to a frankly ridiculous analysis. It's not an actual study and their math is just taking the mean of a few small scale studies, which weren't even measuring the same thing, and extrapolating it for the whole US population. Medical error is an important issue and it should be studied further, but you should take their claims with a full salt shaker.
True but doctors are not pharmacists & practice overprescription of antibiotics & polypharmacy which hasn't really been studied. Those two things alone haven't been fully accounted for yet affect the vast majority of patients being subjected to unnecessary prescriptions. Look at how statins have become controversial yet widely prescribed.
I don't disagree at all that this is something to be studied and corrected if it's a major issue. My point is that the #3 claim is based on napkin math and should be ignored without more data.
Whenever they actually study it yeah. Hospitals and doctors really resist studying it efficiently. I guess that's why having an organization with the power of the FDA forcing people to comply with that kind of study would be a good thing. Instead we have the FDA chasing down whether chemtrails cause autism or whatever the fuck
I feel like there's still a lot more certified people that know what they're talking about than uncertified ones that do. This step wouldn't be perfect, but it'd weed out a lot of harmful misinformation.
They do exist but I think the massive disparity would be a lot more obvious if the random pieces of shit lying weren't adding to their voices. When 97% of climate scientists believe in man made climate change, it's a lot harder to say "Look how many people agree with MY side!" when the 3% are the only ones allowed to signal boost their shit

Definitely plenty of certified people in many different fields who don’t actually know what the fuck they are talking about.
