Big Placebo Versus Big Pharma



Some proponents of pseudoscientific treatments and products claim Big Pharma is evil because they keep cures from us. That, to them, must mean that Big Placebo (homeopathy) must be the answer with all the misleading claims, yet by their logic, if all of homeopathy' cures work, then why isn't Big Pharma keeping those from us too - or making big money from them? 

Here are a few on the woo listed on this meme.

Kool-Aid


This is the first meme posted on the Vegans For Reason page on Facebook. I posted it after a discussion where someone told me I should continue to drink kool-aid after I provided them with scientific evidence against homeopathy. Pseudoscience is running rampant in the vegan community, and that is definitely not a good thing because it promotes the stereotype that vegans are uneducated, conspiracy theorists, and do not understand basic science. It's time to speak up against the "woo" and start promoting critical thinking instead.
