Everybody has something wrong with them if you do enough tests to find the defects. This information is consistent with a study that came out about 18 months ago debunking much of what doctors thought they knew about breast cancer. But that very sound study has not been broadcast because breast cancer awareness and its pink ribbons is the cause du jour - and the money is abundant. Imagine if there were no more pink Octobers in the NFL!
Now that Obamacare is paying for mammograms guess what. “They don’t detect anything so don’t bother getting them.”
And what poor wording of this article. It is not the mammogram that stops cancer. It is the treatment begun AFTER cancer is detected. Sloppy reporting.
Look at the description. Sources say..... Studies lead author(s) from Seattle...... and a bunch of other “tells”
This is a preparatory government funded story in the making that will influence doctors and women to get less mammograms in the long run. Less mammograms, lest cost for ObamaCare.
The big “tell” is the phrase (paraphrased here)...”while research thus far indicates mammograms MAY not reduce breast cancer, the data are ‘noisy’ and MORE STUDY IS NEEDED.”
I’ve worked in government funded research, this is classic:
1. Get some starter funding and a sponsor wish list for the outcome,
2. Do your study, adjust as necessary for the outcome,
3. Publish the conclusions all over willing MSM and caution more money is needed to fully assure the desired result.
Academic whoring at its worst.
I hear you. This reminds me of the all of a sudden “everyone must get a colonoscopy” craze. I’m not buying it.
