Full body scan stories are like catnip for some journalists. They boast of waiting lines of 100,000, driving up demand. But evidence? Not so much. open.substack.com/pub/garyschw...

I've been fretting for some time about "what happens when they find out what PubMed does?"
It's great to hear that there are concerted efforts underway to create alternatives. They need our support.
Many thanks @hildabast.bsky.social for highlighting this.

The issue is applicability. These findings show we need better critical appraisal and trial design, not fewer RCTs.
