The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

And let's be honest,

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

When we don't know what to do with some new therapy, we just downplay it and say, oh, we don't have a 10-year randomized controlled trial.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

Therefore, it's bad.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

No, that means you don't have a 10-year randomized controlled trial.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

It's a scientific unknown.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

Maybe there's other ways of learning.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

Big data, for example.

big data.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

We talked about parachutes.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

We've never done a randomized clinical trial on parachutes.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

Yeah, where's the randomized trial on parachutes?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

I mean, you can see it in front of your eyes that it's saving lives, right?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

I mean, who wants to be randomized to jump off a plane without a parachute?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

I want to see who signs up for that control group.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

I want to be in the control group.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

I remember, Gary, at Johns Hopkins, and this is to the point that we need to listen to patients and realize that we can learn from patients.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

There was a patient with brain cancer, a certain type of incurable glioblastoma multiforme brain cancer at Johns Hopkins.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

I didn't know the patient, but this case is well known.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

And the guy beat the odds and is a long-term survivor.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

You really rarely see a long-term survivor.
