Mother Jones - The Great Inflammation Panic

The methodology of modern woo. It's perfect: never conclusive, infinitely arguable, there can always be more, bigger, longer trials.

I'm not sure which has been the source of more health disinformation between this and social media, and mostly likely it's equal, and over time they will fully blend together anyway. Evidence-based medicine as currently practice is an absolute disaster, not a viable process to discover anything on its own.
