      That’s right. Even if the person won the lawsuit it doesn’t mean the science is true. It’s one really frustrating thing about the legal system, sometimes people win lawsuits based on absolutely terrible BS science. A persuasive lawyer has to convince a jury that something is true, not convince a scientist who knows about that field.

      just because one thing turned out not to be true, it doens’t automatically mean you don’t have to believe any other claims.

        A lawsuit being filed doesn’t equal scientific or medical fact. You can file a lawsuit for literally anything.

        Without concrete, peer reviewed studies, windmills causing health issues is just as believable as wifi causing health issues.

          yeah I was kinda implying that the people filing the lawsuits were on all that business, just didn’t feel like spelling out the vague details I remember from a newspiece a year or so ago,
