    Since “evidence based medicine” has been a corrupt joke for many decades now, why be surprised now? As long as people continue to claim that real science - which assumes and even demands skepticism and testing and trial and even disagreement as a never-ending process that works for real results and continued improvement - is somehow “anti-science”, there is no limit to how whacked “medication” or “treatment” can be or become.
