The pendulum thing seems double-blindable, e.g. "if there's a person in this box, here's how they're oriented, please diagnose them or tell us if the box is empty." Has anyone tried this?
No surprise we've got antibacterial with stuff like this on the nih website. Zero credibility
If it said something really terrible or unPC, do you think they'd leave it up just because "having it on the site isn't an official endorsement"?
Id bet my bottom dollar there are people passing these .gov links around on shitty facebook groups and saying, "look, even the NIH admits chakras are real"
At a minimum, they don't do anything to disabuse that notion like a header saying "we don't endorse everything we host" which seems like a reasonable first step.
The article does clearly label the authors and the publication. pubmed, while fortunately available to the general public (it wasn't when I was in school), it is not necessarily intended for general audiences, as it were. From the about page https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/about/:
> "PubMed is a free resource supporting the search and retrieval of biomedical and life sciences literature with the aim of improving health–both globally and personally."
> "The PubMed database contains more than 34 million citations and abstracts of biomedical literature. It does not include full text journal articles; however, links to the full text are often present when available from other sources, such as the publisher's website or PubMed Central (PMC)."
> "Citations in PubMed primarily stem from the biomedicine and health fields, and related disciplines such as life sciences, behavioral sciences, chemical sciences, and bioengineering."
At some point you have to have enough context that you bring yourself. Reasonable people can disagree at how much context should be required.
Pfffft.
