One interesting thing that I think this underscores is how terrible people are at judging the benefits of treatments based on their own experience. The true figures show that people who had MATH+ may have been *more* likely to die

Now, I don't think that's likely to be causal - the treating clinicians were probably just giving the treatment to the sickest people - but the basic narrative supporting the FLCCC protocol has been clinical expertise
The central idea driving FLCCC is that these experts in clinical care - which make no mistake, they are - could tell based on their own recollections which treatments worked best
Instead, the data appears to show that the intuitions of these clinicians may have been entirely misguided, and indeed the reverse of what they believe may be true 🤷♂️
This isn't a problem limited to any one group, it just shows how problematic it can be to rely on anyone's recollections because our brains aren't geared towards detecting truth
