RE: Corroborating Evidence

I’m skeptical of a country who doesn’t allow the public to see its data. The US pulls its data out of a black box and doesn’t allow anyone to see how they got their numbers. Maybe you should be skeptical about that. — dave742

Not exactly on the issue of hiding data, but certainly along those lines in another area; doctor’s ‘advice’.

Everytime we’ve asked the oncologist for specific information on what can be expected with this cancer we’re dealing with, he becomes evasive. He seems unwilling to tell us the likely progression of the disease, symptoms to be expected if it progresses, probabilities of living to a certain point in time, etc., etc., etc.

I’ve encountered other people who have other dire medical conditions and they report the same; their doctors won’t tell them what to expect.

This correlates with your report about data in the US.
