My response was based on the movie clip. To your point about medicine,
what I wrote still applies.
The facts never changed, but what the doctors chose to believe and why
was/is a different matter.
"First, do no harm" is clear. They ignored it and the patients did not
understand the risk, which can lead to tragic outcomes.
The day that I rely solely on a doctor / poorly informed medical
personnel to tell me what to do is the day that I place myself in the
path of harm.

I get your point and mostly don't disagree.
When it comes to medicine (not referring to covid) "facts" change all
the time. E.g. women getting hormone replacement therapy as a "safe"
option for menopause side effects. "Ooops, sorry about your increased
risk of cancer and heart disease." Or thalidomide...."Oops, sorry
about your kids." And in the Woody Allen clip (which, of course, is
made up) how cigarettes and junk food and "fat" are now deemed good
for you.
Anyhow, I just thought it was a funny clip in the context of the
discussion.

Perspectives and "truth" always is in flux.
