Some good news against fake "medicines..."

And you damn right I consider homeopathy to be fake.
Every time it's put to the test using science, they fail.

Consumer protection from homeopathy urged

The Center for Inquiry (CFI) has sent Dr. Janet Woodcock, President Biden’s pick for Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a nine-page letter urging reversal of the hands-off policies of the previous administration toward the regulation of homeopathy. It also called for action to protect consumers from ineffective, fake medicine. [CFI urges FDA to protect consumers from homeopathic pseudoscience. Center for Inquiry press release, Feb 5, 2021]

Like I'm reliving my grandmothers' battles all over again.


VOte progressive to change a regressive reality.

The main thing they wanted was for these "remedies" and "medicines" to make a profit.
Not actually work.
