Things I am interested in…

"Kiwis big believers in homeopathy" reports Charles Anderson in today's Sunday Star Times.  A quick google shows a Charles Anderson who sells homeopathic remedies… I wonder if they are one and the same?  If so, hardly unbiased reporting.

And actually reading the article reveals:

- only 4% "absolutely" believe homeopathy is true (as opposed to the 16% including me who think it is absolute bollocks)

- of the 51% (yes, barely more than half) who have positive belief in homeopathy, 17% (ie, 1/3) believe but are "not at all certain"

All of this hardly adds up to a ringing endorsement of the complete baloney that is homeopathy.  Even so, I am cynically unsurprised at the scientific illiteracy of the NZ public.
