You're citing a paper with a negligible number of citations (6) written by two people who do not and have never worked in any part of health care (a writer and a religion teacher), who appear to have no education or training in any part of healthcare, published in a journal that no one has heard of with an impact factor of 0.6 (which is abyssmal) and expecting people to take you seriously?

What’s your fucking problem? I literally just gave you the CV’s of the authors who are academically qualified professionals in their fields and you’re making shit up about who they are just like the last guy.

There’s nothing wrong about the authors, the journal, and how many citations you get is irrelevant. If you actually read the paper you’d see it’s actually a quite measured and inoffensive paper which backs up its reasoning with 67 references.

Edit: hey, the journal even has its own Wikipedia page!

People spreading disinformation bothers me. Ergo, you, as a peddler of disinformation, are my problem.

Their CVs wouldn't be the first thing you've linked to in this thread without reading. Probably won't be the last either; your aversion to science seems to run pretty deep.
