There's a replication crisis in science, in that most published literature can't be replicated. In medicine every patient is unique. It's hard to be scientific when no experiment with humans is repeatable.

With regards to the 'current front page question about anti-depressants': at least the mental health industry aspires to be helpful. Depression is mostly solved, except for how big business can make $$$ from simple fixes for depression.

Not "most". Half of the published research in Ioannidis's ground-breaking analysis couldn't be replicated. Which means half could be (edit: numbers which roughly match a more recent analysis: https://elifesciences.org/articles/71601).

Which is why single studies should never be taken seriously - which is nothing new and frankly common sense. Thankfully there are recent reviews and meta-analysis readily available on most subjects, so that shouldn't even be a temptation.

Thank God for science, am-I-right?
