Ref.:  (LML) Long-lasting adverse impact of chemoprophylaxis & what actually works

Dear Pieter and colleagues,

 

It is interesting to note that people use arguments favouring scientific evidence when they assume it supports their own opinions, yet reject that same evidence when it does not suit their purposes. Thus, I believe it is equally important to ask: What level of evidence is required for unestablished and unapproved therapeutic regimens—such as extending treatment beyond 12 doses or using daily rifampicin—to be considered safe enough for large-scale implementation, as some advocate ?

 

Best regards,
