RFK Exposing pharma wrongdoings has no effect, doctors just keep prescribing POS technology filling pharma bank accounts.

Nothing can be done to fix the situation, too many doctors believe fda approval really means something or worse they are on the take.

Nothing can save the people from this modern day snake oil. Billions in healthcare dollars are being funneled to crooked companies in places like Switzerland.

It's too bad about RFK he seems to understand but his message is diluted because of his stance on other issues.

If industrial chemicals are so harmful why does everyone live so long?

How do we shame doctors into stopping their support of pharma ripoffs? Patients certainly can't challenge them

Indeed. At the risk of getting some doctors reading this upset, most doctors don't think much, they just react. They have limited exposure to real medical studies and just quote the usual JAMA, etc., garbage. They have a poor grasp on the corruption of the journals, FDA approved meds, CDC, NIH, etc. Worst, they did very little while we created a crime against humanity in regard to all things Covid. And as you said, they feed pharma. I fight with MD colleagues all the time when they RX "new" meds, that might cost $300/mo, rather than the original med that is now generic and much cheaper. They believe all the hype.

I know more about healthcare than my own PCP. I get stared at when I ask for scripts for APOB or APOA, as if they have no idea why that's important. But if I had a high blood fat level, I'd get RX for a statin almost from muscle memory. Regardless of the political and economic pressures, doctors should feel obligated to put the patient first. I learned from the Covid experience the deep-seated cowardice of most doctors. I disagree with your last comment though. Patients can challenge doctors, they just refuse to do so directly. They can (and have), vote for politicians that will fight on their behalf.

The goal of the Medical Industrial Complex is PROFIT.

The best road to profits is extending death decades beyond nature (yes some freaks of nature live long on their own).

So 90% of our "healthcare" is now geriatrics.

THAT is why we "live" (die) longer.

And yes social sanitation has helped, but when "prevention" becomes safetyism, is it really worth it?

In the old days before the germ theory, they thought all disease came from within. They were wrong about the germs, but they were right about the big picture.
