      Epidemiology is a real thing though. You can certainly track, for example, the link between smoking and lung cancer. Not everything is as clear as that, but epidemiology is quite important.

      Do you have any actual sources for that? Like, real sources? Like something peer studied? With a large sample size? And repeatable results?

          Brother, I think you’re confused. Falco is advocating for evidence based medicine, not whatever RFK Jr.'s smoking.

          I don’t think you understood what I said. This is dismissing an entire scientific branch based on what? I get that he’s using junk/bro science but actual epidemiologists are medical scientists. That’s super dismissive of science in general.
