I think we should avoid ALL changed to "medical science" and go back to what we all KNOW works! It worked for CENTURIES before these yahoos started with their "scientific studies"
LEECHES!
We need to periodically bleed out the "bad blood" that accumulates in our bodies... not doing so allows the "bad blood" to accumulate, and after a while it'll just plain kill you!
To stay healthy, you need to see your dentist/pharmacist/physician regularly and be appropriately bled! It's the key to sustained good health!
This knowledge hasn't changed in CENTURIES! You cannot refute a policy that has worked for so long! Saying it isn't so is just bullshit science, because we've known all this time that this method works, and telling us to STOP is just the evil doctors and pharmaceutical companies trying to control us!

@bi4smooth Prayers! They did well for centuries too. And if you died, at least you came in heaven, because you prayed

Absolutely!
For people who don't want SCIENCE (what with it's constantly CHANGING of what's right theory and what's wrong theory), there is always FAITH!
And as you point out, FAITH HEALING has a 100% success rate at sending souls to heaven! Yippy Skippy!
For me, though... and it's just a personal choice... I'll stick with the science...

@bi4smooth I don't think that "science" change, but the results do, when we get smarter. And what is wrong about getting smarter. Some people have always had a problem with science, because it conflicts their world view. It has been that way for centuries.

Absolutely science changes... Heisenberg changed how we measure things. Newton changed our understanding of mass vs. weight (they are NOT the same). Hawking changed how we think of and measure time.
But separate from how science itself changes, the conclusions we make from scientific studies changes... especially when we base our conclusions on limited data... and we got that in spades with COVID-19: everyone was clamoring for answers, so the scientists gave them what they had: knowing the data was incomplete. And that made them wrong... wrong far more often than we like hearing that scientists are wrong!
There is an acronym often used in computer science: GIGO
Garbage in / Garbage outWhen you have small sample sizes, your conclusions can be thrown off by the smallest of anomalies... but that is the beauty of science - we LEARN from our mistakes! We (scientists) challenge our assumptions and SEEK to prove our theories WRONG! (You can seldom prove a theory is valid, but you can often prove it wrong! The more people try - and fail - to prove a theory is wrong, the more accepted as "probably right" it becomes!
