Dear Neil, I am delighted with the debate that we are having in this healthy virtual environment.
In the article I attached in my first message we analyzed HON e Dyscern.
In this text we state that: “None of these initiatives verifies the accuracy of the information”.
In my opinion, the public institutions and the institutions of public interest have an obligation to provide scientifically updated information written in plain language.
I would be happy if you could send me the link to the Lancet (2006) that you mention in your message. [*see note below]
I didn't know about the report you just shared. I'll analyze it carefully.
I appreciate the interest that my experience has aroused in our colleague from Pakistan.
