@freemo Imagine thinking meta-analysis is good science and not just a way to push preconceived notions through cherry picking and statistical manipulation.

Imagine thinking a propaganda meme is stronger evidence than a body of collected, replicated, peer reviewed data

Nope, its happened hundreds of times on the fedi and most of the time for studies that arent particularly controversial.
Yes mainstream mesia on both sides distort facts and misrepresent studies constantly. This meme touches on that at the end.

@freemo @Zettour Ok, then that's harder for me to argue against. I've known instances where headline says X, but if you actually read the study you find less definite language and a small sample size. Furthermore, even then, that study would count as one sample. Only when someone else reproduces it would it become two, and so forth.
