Is Scott Alexander qualified in this subject?

  He’s a doctor (psychiatrist) so I imagine he has something worthwhile to say about medical effectiveness. He’s at least as qualified as the economists he’s responding to!

    I don't disagree although as a physician he has a bit of conflict of interest in the discussion. I'm not sure it invalidates what he has to say but it's a context that might be kept in mind.
