When the very first clinical trial took place, the cure for scurvy was discovered. What people don’t know is that the cure for scurvy was known for hundreds of years. The native Americans knew what scurvy was and knew how to cure it. Various people in the old world learned of this and knew it. But it was ignored by the medical establishment. And what even fewer people know is that after the very first clinical trial proved beyond doubt how to cure scurvy… nobody cared. The results were rejected by the medical establishment and scurvy was not systematically treated until much later.
How is this possible? Weren’t people dying? Wasn’t the situation urgent? Weren’t the medical experts of the time men of reason and very intelligent? The incentive structure of large bureaucracies is never aligned well with the common good or the truth. It’s made up of thousands of people who have their own interests and salaries to worry about. And the system is supported by robots like you who reject logic and refuse to question the current models despite the fact that these models are purpose built to become obsolete — that’s how science works.
I will not look through your comment history because I’m not insecure about myself.
The problem is screening is very sensitive, and has a high false positive rate. What doctors aren't worried about is people having benign tumors- it's having aggressive cancers that impact a person's health.
But I think you have deeper problems; based on your various posts it looks like you're just angry at the health care system and want to believe that it's being irrational or ignoring problems.
