Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dillinger" data-source="post: 510881" data-attributes="member: 13582">Indeed, and may well even be non deliberate; I'd think it unlikely that these doctors leave the room with a swish of their black capes whilst cackling 'Mwah-ha-ha-haaa' thinking another terrible crime has been expertly carried out.  That's why double blind studies are so important because of the recognised risk of bias which is a normal human condition; we all pull for our own world view after all...On the statistical thing it seems that this epidemiological approach to medicine is all very well when looking at contagious disease in a population but not at more subtle (non-contagious) illnesses like heart disease with multiple, not very well understood, risk factors.   With the spread of measles it makes sense that the entire population receives immunisations but that is just not the case when you are looking at CVD especially as there seems such **** poor analysis of the causes of it. Eggs! For god's sake! They think eggs cause heart disease and expect me to take them seriously on anything else!? I can see how the very damaging fear of immunisations arises perhaps in parallel with this declining respect for the medical profession as a whole.BestDillinger</blockquote>
