A viewer asks: “A 2018 book, Medical Nihilism, by Jacob Stegenga claims the healthcare system over-adopts treatments and under-recognizes risks. He states confidence in the effectiveness of medical interventions should be low because empirical evidence for the efficacy of many treatments is weak due to methodological flaws, publication bias, the influence of commercial interests. He claims positive studies are more likely to be published, screening programs tend to detect and treat cancers that would never cause harm, common treatments can cause long-term complications, short trial durations miss long-term harms etc. How accurate is his view that evidence is systematically skewed and harms are undercounted?”

This thesis is fully accurate in all respects. The entire medical enterprise is a kind of boondoggle that is orchestrated to capture the minds and hearts of the innocent populace in a false belief in the gods of medicine, not only being there to help, but to save lives that would otherwise be lost. Prolonging life is the goal, but the evidence is scanty at best that this is achieved on a large scale for the reasons believed. So not only are there many examples of overreaching in the quality of the data being gathered from clinical studies, and the analysis, and the extent to which it is embraced and deemed worthy of dissemination through formal publication, and then adopted as medical achievement and a new standard for current care, we can tell you that this is encouraged and manipulated to happen. It is done in all sorts of ways from behind the scenes through influencing research directions, analysis and interpretation of scientific data and statistics, policies and implementation of the efforts of caregivers, and public perception of the medical edifice as shaped by the media, all, in turn, subjected to heavy mind control manipulation.
