Do you think dead people really care about the science? Yeah me neither.
They can't. But all the live people should.
We seldom hear of blood-letting anymore. Animal entrails are not consulted for medical advice. There are few doctors who believe that bacteria are the result of disease rather than the cause. I think the lack of good science caused that result to take 70 years. How many people died because there was no hunt for anti-biotics? Hopefulness is not a substitute for discipline.
I would bet that one can still obtain diet pills that are nothing more than diuretics. Baldness cures that don't cure. Male potency concoctions that do nothing but drain people's resources.
Science is hard. It doesn't care what you want or what you need. I've explained before that I support Trump. I'm a firm believer in the Second Amendment and will never vote for a Democrat. I was very concerned that Trump may have risked too much in his support of the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine. I think it remains to be seen whether Trump's pills help him get re-elected or help defeat him.
I would never have risked what Trump risked to support that drug. But, as we all know, Trump must be Trump.
