Question

No; the committee used an anecdote.
Yes; the committee used research.
No; committees use rules, not science.
Yes; all medicine is science.

Answer 1

The best response is: Yes; the committee used research.

The committee likely based their decision on the evidence provided by the patient's report of side effects and any relevant clinical data or studies that suggested the medication’s safety profile was inadequate. This indicates that scientific reasoning and research were part of the decision-making process.
