      I’m going to trust multiple peer-reviewed medical studies over a youtube talk with under 600 views.

      Specially when it’s on a channel branding itself as being skeptical towards science.


      EDIT: On a closer look it’s straight up just one of those conspiracy theory channels and organizations that present itself as actual science.

      And here’s a study if someone wants to look at actual science regarding the placebo effect:

        on a channel branding itself as being skeptical towards science.

        You may have misread - its description says it is a “science and skepticism event”. Not skeptical of science.

        I’m with you, otherwise.

        QED is actually the opposite of a conspiracy theory channel or organisation. They’re very pro science and critical thinking, and spend a lot of time debunking conspiracy theories and pseudo-science.

        I’ve got no skin in the debate in this thread, I didn’t watch the actual video and have no opinion on the validity of what you or the other posters are saying, I’m just pointing out that I think that you’re wrong to dismiss the channel as a source, even if you disagree with the claims made in that specific video.

        I hope you do, because no good peer-reviewed studies ever produced the results you are talking about. I urge you to show me which ones you are talking about.
        And you should learn to look closer. Maybe get more that a couple of words out of headline, you know, how scientificly minded people are suppose to be.
