Homeopathy & Nutritionists vs Real Science!

  • 0:00 - 0:03
    There's a general, kind of... In the media,
  • 0:03 - 0:06
    there's a lot of that kond of stuff people don't know about numbers,
  • 0:06 - 0:08
    I'm a numbers guy, I'm a dweeb, all right? I apologise.
  • 0:08 - 0:10
    I'm a bit of a nerd about these kind of things
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    I get really pissed off when people give out about, like
  • 0:12 - 0:16
    crime going up, when say, the numbers are definitely going down.
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    And then if you go "The numbers are going down," they go,
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    "but the fear of crime is rising."
  • 0:21 - 0:23
    And you're going, "but so what!?" You know what I mean?
  • 0:23 - 0:25
    Zombies are at an all-time low level,
  • 0:25 - 0:27
    but the fear of zombies could be incredibly high.
  • 0:27 - 0:31
    It doesn't mean we have to have government policies to deal with the fear of zombies,
  • 0:31 - 0:33
    It's ridiculous, for Christ's sake.
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    The NHS... There was a survey in the NHS about dentistry, where they found that
  • 0:36 - 0:38
    some people were removing their own teeth! You know...
  • 0:38 - 0:42
    And they brought on some senior dentists onto Sky News, and gave out to him, and said
  • 0:42 - 0:46
    "This is terrible, People are removing their own teeth!" And this guy stood there and went
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    "Well, obviously systems should be put in place to deal with it."
  • 0:49 - 0:54
    Which is stupid! He should be going "Well, these people are clearly morons of the highest line"
  • 0:54 - 0:55
    [Laughter]
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    "Who removes their own teeth, for Christ's sake?
  • 0:58 - 1:02
    I'm a dentist, I don't remove my own teeth, y'know what I mean?"
  • 1:02 - 1:05
    But there's kind of a notion that everyones opinion is equally valid. My arse!
  • 1:05 - 1:10
    Bloke who's a professor of dentistry for 40 years does not have a debate with some idiot
  • 1:10 - 1:14
    who removes his teeth with string and a door. Alright? It's nonsense.
  • 1:14 - 1:19
    And it happens all the time with medical stuff on the television. They'll have a doctor on
  • 1:19 - 1:21
    and they'll talk to the doctor, and they're all "doctor this, and doctor that" and
  • 1:21 - 1:23
    "what happened there" and "doctor, isn't it awful?" Right?
  • 1:23 - 1:27
    And then the doctor will be talking about something, with all the benefits of research and medical evidence.
  • 1:27 - 1:33
    And they'll turn away from the doctor, in the name of "ballance", and turn to some
  • 1:33 - 1:39
    quak, witch doctor, homeopath horse shit peddler on the other side of the studio.
  • 1:39 - 1:40
    [Laughter]
