The study's veracity notwithstanding, DOs are trained and accredited with the exact same curriculum and standards as MDs plus an additional section in Osteopathy. I don't think it's valid to use the fact that someone is an Osteopath against them.
Science in general, including MD conducted research has a lot of room for improvement.
They are all physicians.
