Hmm, I wonder if this is a possible new career path for @WiseOne. Maybe she could answer questions like these for clients?Mark Leavy wrote: ↑Tue Jul 28, 2020 5:22 pmI honestly don't know the answer. My 90% was pulled out of my ass, but I don't think it is far off.glennds wrote: ↑Tue Jul 28, 2020 1:14 pm I would never have guessed that 90% or more of published medical research might be junk, conjecture by morons as you put it.
So if I do not have the educational background or resources to conduct controlled medical experiments myself, then what's a guy to do if he wants to get informed?
Can public organizations like NIH, WHO be trusted?
What about publications like JAMA or the Lancet?
Institutions like Mayo, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Harvard?
Or do you look to some other source?
WiseOne's advice seems the most reasonable. But even then, most of the population can't read a study and understand it.
I don't know. Relying on flash in the pan reporting: "New study from xxx says yyy" is a disaster.
What do non-techie folks on this board do for sanity?

I was going to say the same thing about Bill Barr.I Shrugged wrote: ↑Mon Jul 27, 2020 7:03 pm What Trump could do better is act like my high school chemistry teacher. He had a commanding presence and didn't take any crap. But he did it with a good demeanor. And he didn't tweet dumb stuff.
