How on earth can any causal relationship be made? It is frankly impossible from the study design. What MUST happen, are more placebo controlled trials. Longitudinal studies (comparing then, to another time period, now) CANNOT, by design, demonstrate causality.

Medical research is completely corrupt, from the top down, inside out… trust me, I’m an insider turned outsider. I give up, doctors and PhDs are just too smart, and can turn any study into their argument.
