    Yeah, but homeopathy is still bullshit.

    I know that’s not necessarily the intention of this meme but it’s way too common in woo circles.

      The founder of homeopathy did the first blinded studies, in a time where allopathy was doing bloodletting and their theories about how things presumably affect the body were, well, bullshit, quite often doing more harm than good. Humour theory and everything, even as a systemic view it’s crude AF compared to what Indians and Chinese came up with.

      Now, as in currentyear, homeopathy is bullshit because we are way better at blinding and know that homeopathic drugs are no more effective than placebo.

      Which just goes on to show that yes, science is a process.
