    it could only be considered post-truth if there was ever any attempt at truth in the first place. Epidemiology makes Astrology look like legitimate peer reviewed science.

      Epidemiology is a real thing though. You can certainly track, for example, the link between smoking and lung cancer. Not everything is as clear as that, but epidemiology is quite important.

      Do you have any actual sources for that? Like, real sources? Like something peer studied? With a large sample size? And repeatable results?

        You know the answer. And since your apparently advocating that these are healthy, you are, literally by definition, the one making the radical claim.

        You gave nothing to stand on in the first place. Go play in traffic, please. Leave the grass alone… That’s not for you.

          I don’t think you understood what I said. This is dismissing an entire scientific branch based on what? I get that he’s using junk/bro science but actual epidemiologists are medical scientists. That’s super dismissive of science in general.

            Yeah, I just bounce off cars, though. So I’m awesome, you’re an idiot, go cry in your pillow. Of course you want to taste liberal tears. You’re probably sick of tasting your own

          Brother, I think you’re confused. Falco is advocating for evidence based medicine, not whatever RFK Jr.'s smoking.
