No, There Isn’t A Homoeopathic Covid-19 Remedy

Because Homeopathy Is Horseshit

“…at the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes — an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive, and the most ruthlessly sceptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense.”

Carl Sagan

There are no “scientific facts”. Science is a living, changing, dynamic document. Unlike religious texts, it isn’t set in stone. It’s constantly updated with new data and evidence. Yesterday’s fact could be today’s fiction could be day after’s fact.

Proven hypotheses are the paradigms of our day. In the early 16th century, the “fact” was that the Earth was flat. Ferdinand Magellan’s epic sea-voyage around the earth proved otherwise. Science was updated.

The scientific method scrupulously separates theories, fantasies and truths.

Homoeopathy, despite being around for almost two centuries, hasn’t passed any scientific test. The only thing it’s successfully proven is that it’s almost as effective as the placebo effect. Ergo, it’s pseudoscience: a pale imitation of science with lofty claims and zero evidence. It’s horseshit.
