Wearing them doesn't make sense. Please do your research.
Do you mean TiStuff's kind of research on bitchute, or the one I have already done in several older threads on d2jsp on Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), pubmed and ebsco?

These aren't a few isolated articles. These are meta-analyses, and just the ones you can find with a very quick search and the filter for meta-analysis on pubmed. You come into the thread ejaculating terms as "research", so I trust you know how to read and interpret these articles and that you know what a meta-analysis is, in the first place. If you are still sceptical about it all, by all means, what is stopping you from writing a critically appraisal topic on the subject? I recommend McMaster's format, it's very newbie-friendly. It's only about a day's work, too, so it's not too much to ask for if you go out of your fucking way to spread misinformation.
