We've seen what #EBM #EvidenceBasedMedicine produces;
on #Masking with #TomJefferson assisted by #Cochrane,
the decades of infectious respiratory disease research that poo-hooed #AirborneTransmission, and,
the RWNJ #CassReport on care for transgender kids.Lots of bad stuff resulting from fetishising #RandomControlledTrials #RCTs as the only research that can be relied on.
Will we hear from Trumpists that there's no RCTs that support action on #ClimateChange?

There are academics / scientists who distinguish between #EBM #EvidenceBasedMedicine and #SBM #ScienceBasedMedicine.EBM seems to fetishise #RandomControlledTrails #RCTs as the #GoldStandard and has given us at least the #Cochrane review on #Masking by #TomJefferson.
And, I think, also the #CassReport into medical care for young transgender people. Here AIUI over relevant 700 studies were rejected on the basis that they weren't RCTs leaving 2 RTCs considered.

Citation please.[Wraps tinfoil over asshat and begins channeling #HilaryCass and #TomJefferson]:
You do realise that only Double Blind Random Assignment research counts as science, hmmm? -

Fine grained science is like a high magnification view of a benchtop.
It isn't smooth and can look very unsettling.Here is an article describing the background of a rejected paper by #CarlHeneghan that claimed to show doubt about SARS-Covid-2 being airborne.
Note link with the #GreatBarringtonDeclaration .Here is Hereghan interviewing the lead author of the Cochrane mask review, #TomJefferson the day after its 2023 publication.
