    • 2024 November 21, Natalia Pasternak, “Dia Nacional do Terraplanismo Médico”, in Questão de Ciência‎[1], São Paulo: IQC, archived from the original on 21 November 2024:
      Nos Estados Unidos, o órgão federal de defesa do consumidor passou a exigir que todo medicamento homeopático informe, na bula, que é baseado em princípios contrários ao conhecimento científico. O Brasil, portanto, deve parar de desperdiçar recursos escassos de saúde pública no que, no fim, não passa de terraplanismo médico.
