NO! Tell us about it.
Thanks!
I remember my world view in my teens and 20’s. I believed the older “adult experts” in the same way a child believes his parents. I also used to believe that company presidents (I didn’t know what a CEO was), doctors and other leaders simply had all the answers, almost in a godlike way.
In previous generations this is what caused women to switch from breast feeding to formula, creating a generation of people with serious allergies.
i.e. I understand why they believe it. But once they figure out that we all put our pants on one leg at a time, they usually mature in their thinking and don’t believe everything they are told.
Not true.
If these "models" were actually any good, they could be initialized to the conditions 100 years ago, and they could then generate a 100-year "forecast" which would match the historical record of the past century.
If they could do that, they would be screaming it from the rooftops.
The fact that they haven't done it means they can't do it and they're all frauds.
Horace Freeland Judson in his book "The Great Betrayal", "sketches science as a fortress rising out of the mists, focused solely on defending and enriching itself. It might pretend to worship the Goddess Truth but inside, out of sight, it is the God Mammon who is lusted after."
“This translate that even if 9 out out 10 persons dies or has an adverse reactions to the drugs, the company typically has a 5 yr lead time to maximize their profits before the bodies starts piling up and the victims and their lawyers comes knocking.”
That is truly ignorant. The FDA monitors adverse events, and any uptick in deaths or injuries from anything medtech leads to immediate action. Recalls, forced plant shutdowns, even arrests.
10% better does not mean that 9 out of 10 can have adverse reactions or die. Your statement is completely false.
Because they don’t know the Truth.
Saying we can’t predict long term trends because we can’t predict short term variance shows a real ignorance of science and statistics. Insurance companies would be out of business overnight if that were true.
The loudmouth climatologists (like Michael Mann) haven’t predicted anything climate wise that came true. However, real climatologists are doing quite a good job of long term forecasting. Many hang out at www.wattsupwiththat.com check it out.
See the link here https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=amazing+discoveries+walter+veith+2017 very very fascinating stuff he uncovered, but you may not sleep very well after watching these. I dont recall which video it was in.
it think it may be in this sub series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDrscByKEUQ&index=11&list=PL95B1BB23B7A3C795 211 - The Secret Behind Secret Societies / Total Onslaught - Walter Veith

Ok so I stand corrected, and I breathe a big sigh of relief too! I got this info from multiple sources so yrs ago including a medical doctor.
Thanks for saying that.
There is a requirement that drugs and devices show benefit, but it has been fudged in the past, true enough. “Barely better” is the standards some companies use, and they play games with the data.
Often the objective is get a newly patented drug out there, with a marketing blitz. Get patients to say, “hey, I saw a tv ad...” and docs don’t want the headaches of fighting with a patient. So they prescribe the new, very expensive meds, knowing insurance carriers are on the hook for the costs.
It happens a lot, and it is bs. Turns out many pricey, addictive pain meds aren’t any better than aspirin and ibuprofin, for example.
They feel the need to be part of something transcendent to give their pathetic existence meaning.
There is an entire generation since Kindergarten who have been taught GW is a scientific fact.
And their parents learned it from their kids school work.
Critical thinking skills are no longer taught.
“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” -- Theodore Dalrymple [Wiki attributes this to Anthony Daniels, TD is his nom de plume]
