Steve86, this thread isn’t “anti-science.”
For so many years, people were berated if they opted not to undergo screening. Now, ever since the ACA, all of a sudden, we’re being told there’s too much screening. The timing can’t be a coincidence. It’s not about science; it’s about politics.
Well, it is about cost to society to some extent; no argument there. Do you want to pay an additional $2,000/yr for everybody else's three-year colonoscopies? Most people don't.
In the above example, scheduling at 5 or 3 year intervals vs. ten year intervals subjects a whole bunch of people to unnecessary risks while barely even saving an additional life. If you still think 3 year intervals are desirable, then why not make it 3 month intervals and save another 1/16 life. You see, there's got to be a cutoff somewhere.
