Jacob Stegenga

Jacob Stegenga, a lecturer at Cambridge University and author of "Medical Nihilism," delves into the skepticism surrounding modern medical treatments. He argues that many interventions might not only be ineffective but may also carry severe side effects. Stegenga critiques the FDA’s approval process for exaggerating the benefits of drugs while downplaying their risks. He emphasizes the need for a more realistic understanding of medical practices, advocating for rigorous evidence-based evaluations and greater transparency in medical research.
