Who's Gareth Malson?

Disclaimer: Polls are a bunch of nonsense, enabling stupid people to have an opinion.

There's a new poll on the new (crap) PJ site, asking "Is it ethical to sell homoeopathic or other remedies that have no evidence base to support their effectiveness". Unfortunately, you have to register to vote. However, there is no restriction on who can vote, and no check of identity. So we have the situation where someone is purporting to be Gareth Malson, Staff Editor of the PJ, and Other Pharmacist. The Journal should urgently address this issue. There is absolutely no way that a pharmacist involved with the weekly trade magazine can think it is right to sell homeopathy. Clearly, Mr. Malson has had his identity stolen. This can be the only solution. After all, we have had firm and decisive opinions on homeopathy from the Society. Firmness and decisiveness are practically the Society's middle names. I am sure that the real Mr. Malson does not think that it is ethical to sell remedies that have no evidence base. This is contrary to everything he was taught at university. There must be some mistake.
