@Allylbenzene – I disagree with so many points that's it's almost overwhelming. Almost. Strap in.
TL;DR – more likely that Gary Null is spittin' conspiracy theories to help him sell dietary supplements than nearly a million doctors and a couple hundred med schools are all in on a conspiracy to rip off the public while endangering public health, no whistleblowers in many decades…
Great word! Reductionist take though.
What is this "Europe" you speak of?
Just kidding,
of course I know where the capital of Australia is…
Is
that why someone assassinated the United Healthcare CEO in broad daylight?
¿Enámorosos? Because otherwise I think you're just parroting Gary Null's attempts to insult and belittle educated medical professionals… a club he could never fully crack into because he got his PhD from a Cracker Jack box.
I wouldn't know; religion is silly to me. Re: peer-review, no, I don't
demand this; I'm just
persuaded by it, like most rational people. And that's because it's based on concrete evidence and the scientific method. And sure, science isn't
everything (math is), but it kind of is when it comes to reaching a consensus in a world of superstitions, religions, scammy radio-show hosts, and human susceptibility to herd mentality.
Dietary restrictions smack of slavish adherence to arbitrary traditions, to me, but I'm not into dogma & organized religion, nor taking the word of shyster quacks pitching supplements with poor quality control.
Negligence is selling a physically toxic substance to the public, denying the HIV/AIDs epidemic, denouncing vaccines, and making false statements about public health intended to mislead the public.
That would be pharmacists. Doctors
prescribe drugs and pharmacists
dispense them, most of the time. Why are you/Gary attacking physicians? Ohhhh, right, you're jealous. Or he is and you're his proxy, is that it? Are you Gary's co-author?
Often, huh? So you've pulled the data on this and have the figures to back up this "often" claim, or are you kinda just guessing on how it works? Something tells me that guesswork is a little biased. You really don't see how Gary Null is a grifter profiting from the bullshit he spins?
Yeah right. Even if that's true, the opinion of one "junior doctor" (whatever you think that is) on his own education means next-to-nothing and isn't a large enough sample for any meaningful stats. Not exactly a real deep dive…
You know: there's more to the medical field than just statins and protein pump inhibitors, right? Very specific metric you're using.
It's not. I was just nitpicking. They say don't modify words like "unique", "dead", "immortal", "pregnant" because they're supposed to be binary, all-or-nothing. A woman either is or is not pregnant, for example. A hospital will not pronounce a person "kinda dead". There is no "very unique" as a thing either is one-of-a-kind or it is not. My point is: I pay close attention to details, and if you read the details around Gary Null, you'll see that his claims are made up and sharing them will reflect poorly on you.
… or reading the books … or making sure they exist… or drawing from non-fiction.
Lemme guess, all by Gary Null and a couple of his cronies. Let's be real: this guy is a conman flipping janky "dietary supplements" with bogus, unchecked claims he pumps through his show/podcast.
From Wikipedia:
Not a good look. I'm surprised he's not in Donald J. Duck's motley cabinet of dimwits, charlatans, and sycophants. His career was shit-stained already anyways…
No, the answer is supposed to be so obvious that the point is clear. But the answer isn't clear as it's answering in a literal way the metaphor supplied by the "foundations of sand" device you used. But you have no point. You're just helping a conman sell garbage through deception, and no rhetorical device can redeem you, even if you were to start using them correctly. See, here's a question of rhetoric ☞
which seems more likely? …
1. One supplement-selling radio show personality w/no med. credentials and a dodgy history has it right while
hundreds of thousands of practicing physicians taught at 195 accredited medical schools are wrong
and in on a long-running Big Pharma conspiracy w/zero whistleblowers?
… or, that …
2. Gary Null is a quack conman who ruined his professional reputation years ago, and now exploits the lack of oversight on dietary supplement claims for profit?
See? The answer is obvious (unless you're highly proficient at mental gymnastics and self-deception). Hell, Nullburglar himself has been made sick before by his own supplement products. Here's another rhetorical question: none of this ever embarrasses you?
I suppose I've left you with no graceful way out of this. Sorry about that. I expect you'll blast me back with indirect insults and/or claims that I'm naive, in on the conspiracy or insane/stupid/whatever. I get it. It's never easy to admit error, but sometimes it's best to take the L.
