Ben Goldacre 'Pulse Project' interview.

[WhelkDoctor1]

It is a rather damning indictment of our education system that the rantings of an unaccomplished junior doctor are considered by so many people to be "science".

I love his eyebrows

[Chronosaur]

I get the idea some americans don't quite know how not to be religious...

LOL I love his "American accent" even though it sounds sort of Canadian lol.



[Munro1Man]

What a man. His book "Bad Science" was brilliant and opens a world that millions of Britons need to see. Shame he isn't higher up in power as we need men like this controlling the quacks and pill pushers.

@Munro1Man The phrase that stuck out in my mind was when he called Arpad Pusztai a "joker". That's a double-edged sword because "joker" can mean something very welcome to find in your hand when you're playing cards! ;-) And beware what you wish for, Munro1Man. History is full of people we elected into power to give us "solutions" to various "problems" and then bitterly regretted it.

@Munro1Man you can't control people

[Munro1Man]

@bobjoe177

Why not? Speed limits on roads and dangerous drugs acts, not control?

[bobjoe177]

@Munro1Man it's still their choice whether or not to follow those rules you can't control what people will do even with a gun to their head

[Munro1Man]

@bobjoe177

Well of course its their choice, but why make it easy for people to be deceived. Why are we diverting millions away from real medicine to fund a placebo?

Im not sure I get your point.

[bobjoe177]

@Munro1Man good point what i typed was irrelevant to the issues addressed by the vid

[hadr0n]

Good stuff!
