Surely the Director of Health and Social Services has a better understanding of how to evaluate a cure for a disease instead of this idiotic approach! Is this a genuine letter?

We therefore have to be very careful with these miracle cures. What we need are real medical experts to be talking about cures for this disease, after they conduct real scientific “double-blind” trials or whatever these dudes do best. We shouldn’t be wasting time on… Read more »
