The British Medical Journal, writing about transgender care for distressed youth, makes a distinction between evidence-based medicine and consensus-based medicine. The latter might be well-intentioned, well-informed, and tentatively agreed upon, and may be the best that can be managed when new problems are presenting, but that is not the same thing as scientific evidence. This strikes me as a distinction that is overdue.
If only...
I used to read the JAMA and british rag on medicine. I had to stop when they all went to the dark side during covid madness. I haven't picked up one in years now and probably never will. They sold their tiny little miserable souls to the CDC and nobody cares about them anymore. They have zero credibility.
