Ive worked with clinical trials and nobody says “oh, p < 0.05 so we should use this drug”.
Doctors do a much more sophisticated deep dive into the data and statistical significance is maybe 1 of a 10 factors they consider.
And hell, even if it is statistically significant, doctors may not use a drug for many other reasons.
It seems like the people who criticize p-values aren't that familiar with how they are actually used.
