Avmed ‘cherrypicks’ whatever data puts a set of circumstances in the most catastrophic light and downplays data to the contrary. In my most recent foray against them, they backed down before an embarrassing finding against them. Australia’s foremost expert in the field said Avmed’s decision was based on “pseudoscience”.
Saying Avmed are very data driven is like saying the advocates of conversion therapy are very data driven. The advocates of conversion therapy aren’t bothered by data contrary to their beliefs.
