Comment Hubris... (Score 1) 421

"Fluoride seems to lessen the occurrence of tooth cavities, so let's just fluoridate all the water supplies!"

Comment Harm (Score 1) 408

Homoeopaths are selling malaria vaccinations. E.g. water. I see some potential for harm there

Yes, the concept of "harm" is a tricky one. I refer only to immediate harm, i.e.: "Does taking a homeopathic malaria vaccine (water) make me worse off than I was before?" Probably not.

Does taking statins make me worse off than I was before?. Probably yes.
