Hilarious UK Homeopath Squirms

[Mr. Jon Donnis]

After a damning undercover investigation found 10/10 homeopaths giving murderously stupid advice on malaria prevention, spokesperson Melanie Oxley performs bonkersly on Newsnight. She deteriorates towards the end.

She reminds me of politicians when they are being interviewed ... meaningless words comes to mind!

Just noticed she contradicted herself ( there's a surprise!) At the beginning she says

to date there has not been a large scale research into the prophylactic use of homeopathy for malaria.

then at the end

Homeopathy has been around for almost 300 years, it's used prophylactically in diseases such as malaria indeed the first remedy ever proved as we call it discovered was a remedy for malaria

So I guess what she's saying is yes there hasn't been any real research into its uses against malaria but she does agree with using it because 300 years ago people said it did work

What planet are these people living on?

"Bonkersly" - a perfectly cromulent word with which I will embiggen my vocabulary!
