Lots of people rely on homeopathy. Can they all be wrong? Yes

13. I'm not a fan of big pharma

Please don't get me wrong. I think big pharma holds us all hostage with high drug prices while blocking generic versions of the same drugs. At the same time they push studies through on dangerous drugs (like Vioxx for instance) without disclosing the (deadly) dangers that their own clinical trials discovered. Big pharma needs to change, I agree 100%, but:

My opinion on homeopathics is informed by scientific study. There is nothing inherently dangerous about homeopathic remedies, because, by their own admission, there's nothing in them. But if someone is suffering from a terminal, but modern drug-treatable illness, and they decide to rely on homeopathic remedies, they will die.

My attitude is almost identical to Tim Minchin's (I do recommend the video, it's very funny), in that if suddenly it is scientifically proven that homeopathic remedies work, that a drop of water can remember the vibration from a drop of onion juice that is no longer present within it, I will change my mind. That's how science works.
