Re:Placebos becoming too effective, pharma industry worries by lifeisstillgood on Thursday March 28, 2013 @06:25AM (#5454062)
It is unlikely to work less than the placebo, just for 20 people you happened to choose some just got better anyway - and we're in the wrong group

That's why it's important to publish all trials - if the 20 people who got better anyway were receiving the active drug do you think they would be saying our drug might not be that effective?
