“The discovery of this novel compound challenges long-held scientific beliefs ...”
THAT sounds like “settled science”! Why is anybody allowed to question the “settled science” that superbugs cannot be killed??
The debate is over, isn’t it? These people are preaching voodoo magic and should be banned!! They are not scientist if they don’t accept “settled science”, are they?
I thought the “long held” beliefs language was a little strong. I doubt many scientists believed that there existed no new classes of agents that were antibiotics. Most believed we had not discovered any for quite a while. Those are two very different beliefs.
