It is fraud to claim a medicament or method NOT to be efficacious despite the efficacy is provenThis type of fraud is typical. It is used to seed hatred and fear against scientific medicine. It is a means to push the sales of fraudulent medicaments and methods offered by "alternative" "healers".
Example:Anti-vaccinationists claim that vaccination does not work. In
http://www.pharmamafia.com are many examples of the claims and methods of anti-vaccinationists. These 2 graphics from Great Britain explain the backgrounds
http://www.pharmamafia.com/ama_im27.gifhttp://www.pharmamafia.com/ama_im28.gifCompare these official and undeniable statistical facts with claims of anti-vaccinationists., e.g this:

The above graphs, based on the official death numbers as recorded in the Official Year Books of the Commonwealth of Australia, are taken from Greg Beattie's excellent book "Vaccination A Parent's Dilemma" and represent the decline in death rates from infectious disease in Australia. They clearly show that vaccines had nothing to do with the decline in death rates. (Note: Graphical evidence on the decline in death rates from infectious disease for USA, England, New Zealand and many other countries shows the exact same scenario as above).

In that defaming and hate- and lie-filed web-page the anti-vaccinationists claim 6 diseases NOT to be prevented by vaccines:
- whooping cough
- diphtheria
- measles
- scarlet fever
- typhoid fever
- polio
The trick used there is always the very same: to only show the number of dead per (say) 100.000 inhabitants over the course of time. It is logical that this number goes down over time - because of development of better ways of treatment.
In the above given graphics

The left scale reaches up to 800,000 - as show the figures in the accompanying table:

The last death from acute measles in England & Wales was
a two year old child who died in 1992.
Since 1992 all deaths have been in older individuals and were caused
by the late effects of measles. These infections were acquired during
the 1980s or earlier, when epidemics of measles occurred.

Impressive - in a negative sense - are the figures given in

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3SuALSZjNYthe lies of the anti-vaccinationists are debunked, with data from Australia.
The anti-vaccinationists says (see above):

Yes, and the statistical data from each country shows the exact same scenario about the INCIDENCES of the diseases: that vaccination is cutting down the number of illness incidents and this way exterminating those diseases.
Such occurrences, when anti-vaccinationists were confronted with this debunking their lies (just like what happened in Australia, and is well-documented in that video), happen again and again and again.
Now, if the very same anti-vaccinationists later try to use their old trick again, they can not claim "we did not know". No, they can not BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED THE FACTS. They are INFORMED.
So then THEY DO KNOW - and their using the same trick again is willfully lies, it is a crime.
