    He has half of the procedure down. First you assume a medicine is dangerous, but then you work to find out if it’s safe, rather than finding proof it’s not. But you also don’t normally try to find proof that a medicine already deemed safe, is not.

      Half is way too generous here. Think of a hypothesis, then create a null hypothesis, collect data, analyze data, does that data fit your hypothesis or your null hypothesis? Then examine for any potential bias. He barely has a hypothesis right now.
