Study Finds Psychiatric Diagnosis to be ‘Scientifically Meaningless’
A new study, published in Psychiatry Research, has concluded that psychiatric diagnoses are scientifically worthless as tools to identify discrete mental health disorders.

The authors conclude that diagnostic labelling represents ‘a disingenuous categorical system’.

An article in the June, 2019 edition of JAMA Cardiology was titled, “Fear-Based Medical Misinformation and Disease Prevention: From Vaccines to Statins."

The author blames vaccine refusers for fueling outbreaks of measles. However, mandating that every child receive the MMR does not guarantee a measles-free population. China continues to have measles outbreaks even though Chinese children are the most vaccinated in the world—over 99% of C... more »

In terms of mechanical design, they have a little something in common with dragonflies. read more
