Back early in the Covid era (2020)....someone came up and suggested that when around people....you need to establish a 6-foot distance. This came out of the US originally....then even here in Germany....they generally accepted the same distance....but saying 1-meter (3.3 feet).
I sat for a week, and researched at the time.....where this 1-meter distance thing had been determeined.
Well....the only point you could find was the US standard of 6-feet. No one had done any logical research.
This past week, I read through some medical commentary, and here was Doctor Fauci.....admitting they just picked 6-feet at random....never involving any science.
The German interpretation of 1-meter? Well....it just leads back to Fauci and 6-foot rule. Again, no science.
This just begs the question for me....what else is bogus science?

My experience-leading-to-definition of bogus science began as a child.
I grew a wart on my thumb.
The neighbor told me just the way to get it to drop right off...
...by gathering a certain weed.
After several attempts to identify the correct plant, I hit upon the proper specimen.
.
The neighbor broke the stem, squeezed some stem juice into a tiny puddle...
...spit in it...
...then rubbed that muck on my wart.
.
A couple days later, that wart fell right off.
Zero recurrence in close to seven decades.
