So a lot of people of dunked on this terrible op ed from Dr. Goldfarb in the @WSJ, so I’m not breaking any new ground. Most have focused on the false dichotomy of science versus policy/advocacy. But it’s really more than that. 1/11 wsj.com/articles/take-…
Dr. Goldfarb’s argument that progressive politics is preventing good science has it precisely backwards. There is undue political influence in the practice of medicine today, but it’s not from the left. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…. 2/11
