Expression kxhTor “can’t build free and open source tools” and stop racists from using them
Ironically, the Tor software has been designed and written by a diverse team including people of many religions, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, and points on the (legitimate, non-Nazi) political spectrum. We are everything they claim to despise. And we work every day to defend the human rights they oppose.

Seems seriously flawed to me. Why take on the easy targets when there are so many issues with modern medicine. The study brings up so many questions. Some of the cancers show no better results for medicine compared with alternative therapies. The fact that they couldn't even identify which alternative therapy patients were using is a big problem. What if they had compared an alternative therapy to some unknown medical treatment?
This needs to be done as a proper double blind study with a control group before it has any credibility.
