Comments on: Michael Specter: The danger of science denial https://gregladen.com/blog/2010/04/13/michael-specter-the-danger-of/ Thu, 15 Apr 2010 09:39:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.8 By: Joris https://gregladen.com/blog/2010/04/13/michael-specter-the-danger-of/#comment-517067 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 09:39:24 +0000 http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2010/04/13/michael-specter-the-danger-of/#comment-517067 I think he’s very much right about the general point he’s trying to make, i.e. trust science. However, I do find it a bit ironic how he then continues to more or less ignore science by labeling vitamins and anti-oxidants as placebos when he discusses the run from ‘big pharma’ to ‘big placebo’. There is quite extensive evidence that, e.g. vitamin C intake can reduce certain health risks.

(Note: I’m not trying to say that any of this is a substitute for vaccination or other medical treatments.)
