Tactics used by quacks to sell their pseudoscientific concepts and 🐍 oil: 1. Modern medicine has no cure for your condition.
- Ignores the fact that some disease is incurable/beyond cure. They advertise cure but though it's been around for centuries the claims are mostly bogus.
2. No side effects! Natural is better!
- Commonly used. My prof used to say: no side effect means no effect! If it does have any effect then there must be some side effect! Biggest myth that can easily be busted, numerous examples in threads by @drabbyphilips
3. But your allopathy is full of toxic chemicals!
- Everything is a chemical, even water! Many drugs we use are actually originally from natural sources! Fact is you are much more likely to find toxic lead, arsenic and heavy metals in homeo and Ayurvedic preparations.
Ok, took me a few days to properly process the stunning results of the Delhi serosurvey. Unfortunately we only have a press conference with a few slides telling us that 22.86% of 20,000 people sampled tested positive for antibodies to Sars-cov2: timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/almost-1…
This was done from June 27 to July 10 and they did a randomised sampling of every nth household and also sampled minors, they used the Kavach ELISA developed by ICMR (sens 92.3 and spec 97.9). The results were only recently released in the July 21st PC.
So why r these results stunning? Well, for one they imply 46 lakh infections, whereas the official count is only 1.2 lakh to date. Meaning only 1 in 38 were actually detected by antigen testing! Either implies pathetic testing or huge percentage of asymptomatics?
