This was such a great speech by Risch in about 20 minutes. He explains quite clearly how 'EBM' has been a carefully executed con played on the medical profession and the scientific community. The purpose of the con has been to brainwash the target audience with plausible deceptions and to elicit or compel desired behaviors from them. He also indicates the remedy for this big con which is very simply for scientists and practitioners to wake up out of their shameful stupor and begin thinking for real, and talking to each other in an organized and disciplined fashion. Thank you Dr. Risch.

The shameful stupor of the medical profession has been induced by pharmaceutical companies in partnership with government agencies. The drug companies love so-called randomized clinical trials because the outcomes are so readily manipulated in the service of profit and the narrative. The susceptibility to manipulation makes "randomized" trials one of the lower forms of clinical evidence. It is time to subject the evidentiary standards to analysis. The last few years have shown us the current system of evaluation is corrupt and broken.

...by generous incentives of money flowing with the recommended (or mandatory) treatment protocols as determined by same. In other words, GREED.
