“I don’t understand the type of denial towards science because I would never ask for a shopkeeper’s or a taxi driver’s opinion on whether I should undergo the exams presented here […] I want the opinion of these gentlemen here, who are grounded in over 2500 years of wisdom, science, method, and responsibility.”
