Science vs pseudoscience Science: Measurable, observable, follows scientific method, testable, objective Pseudoscience: appears scientific but isn't, doesnt follow the scientific method, may not be testable, data may not support conclusion
Why is the wakefield study not trustworthy 12 subjects no sample size no control group couldn't be replicated
