We've seen what ⁨#EBM⁩ ⁨#EvidenceBasedMedicine⁩ produces;
on #Masking with #TomJefferson⁩ assisted by #Cochrane,
the decades of infectious respiratory disease research that poo-hooed #AirborneTransmission, and,
the RWNJ #CassReport⁩ on care for transgender kids.

Lots of bad stuff resulting from fetishising ⁨#RandomControlledTrials⁩ ⁨#RCTs⁩ as the only research that can be relied on.

Will we hear from Trumpists that there's no RCTs that support action on #ClimateChange?

#Skeptics follow #SBM .
#Clinicians (some) see (some) good outcomes and don't care if they're #PlaceboEffect #Placebo or not.
#PleasedUsers get results they want.
#DisappointedUsers try but aren't satisfied.

"What’s the role of nutrition for both preventing and beating COVID-19? Nutrition-related myths on protection and treatment have been widely prevalent in this pandemic, and while there is no diet that completely prevents infection, there are certainly dietary steps we can take to minimize risk."
