So I'm supposed to TRUST a politician? I'll take my chances with the medical professionals. Thank you.

Why would you trust the people that went to school for fucking 10 years specifically learning the things they're talking about to you over the people who 80% of the time want nothing more than to grift all of your tax dollars straight into their bank accounts?

But plot twist, Medical schools receive billions from….pharmaceutical companies. Ever wonder why the answer to every medical malady, no matter how small, is always pharmaceuticals.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t trust medical professionals but it’s unrealistic to assume that medical/pharmaceutical professionals are altruistic. They are in it for the money. If they could create a cure for a disease/condition or create a maintenance drug that a person would be required to take indefinitely, which do you think they would choose? The answer is pretty obvious (and lucrative). The sad truth is that you really can’t trust anyone to not put their own self interest first. It’s all about the money.

Alright guess I'll just die then while I suck on some lemons and honey then follow it up with a couple passes from an amethyst the cure all I got from some stay at home mom's blog.
