As RadGirl points out, scrutinising and critically appraising a paper or article is a skill. It requires knowledge of how studies are conducted, statistics and an understanding of the underlying subject matter. Most of the ‘click bait’ links chase any article/paper reflecting a particular agenda, fair from being a critical review. Furthermore the ‘renowned scientists’ mentioned in these papers often aren’t and caution is advised.
I find it staggering that people on this forum continue to question regulatory processes that they have no expertise in and that have been refined over the years to regulate the pharmaceutical industry. Even more staggering that pilots are doing this, a cohort of individuals whose jobs are based around following regulatory processes and SOPs.
