Many think it impossible that the "experts" were wrong on masks, lockdowns, and vaccines. But experts are wrong all the time, in a big way. Between 2001-2010, 146 established medical practices were reversed. https://t.co/9pLtYkJQFc

@AnnMTaylor61 Although teaching is evidence based at that time, probably 70% of what I was taught in medical school is now wrong just due to change and time. How to best remain updated for patients is tough. I think clinical research in the NHS has a huge part to play. https://t.co/BMO9wWZjoM
