Sounds good until you understand that the placebo was not what you think.

This is how language can be extremely misleading

‘placebo’, or ‘control’?

LMAO!!

Oh. What was the Placebo?

Made from boogers from the right nostril of Bill Gates?

That web-site has so many issues. I mean other than paranoid anti-vaxxers hanging around it.

OK - then ‘splain to us how a placebo ain’t really what we think.

Definition of a placebo is: “A placebo is anything that seems to be a “real” medical treatment — but isn’t. It could be a pill, a shot, or some other type of “fake” treatment. What all placebos have in common is that they do not contain an active substance meant to affect health.”

So please explain your comment and how we don’t understand what a was/was not while you have a deep grasp of it..
