The medical community has a lot of their marching orders coming top down. Most doctors are just repeating what they are told without doing any actual research. People believe them because they assume their doctors are smarter than them because of the white coat.

Exactly this. Doctors follow CDC and state health dept marching orders ("protocol") because their medical license can be scrutinized/suspended if they don't and insurance companies go after them if they dare think outside the box. It is sad. They can't practice they way they want to and they have hundreds of thousands of med school loans to repay, so they are stuck. And many are indoctrinated from the (intentional) lack of sleep they get in med school, so they are not thinking critically.

This is why anytime alternate medical solution or natural solutions cheap solutions etc are totally demonized by the medical establishment. Look at the HCQ? Masks? Vitamins? All these things Ive heard doctors first hand flip flop on mutiple times not because they found new research. It is because they get told what to say and they dont question because they assume the "study" is legit or they just dont have the energy at the end of a 12hr day. This is also why there will never be a cheap cure for cancer to ever be found in the US. It will come from a European country, israel, or maybe somewhere like Japan. The us medical establishment is just another arm of a broken corrupt system thanks to government and too many fucking lawyers.

“This is also why there will never be a cheap cure for cancer ”. No money in curing a disease. Only in treating it.

Neighbor had stomach cancer. Couldnt afford the “smart pills” at $3000/mo. I showed them how to get them over the internet from Canada. But they ended up having to get them from India for about $500/month. He got about two extra yrs of life out of the deal.

Im not one for socialized medicine or any government run healthcare, but something is clearly not right with how we do things right now. It was bad under bush, then got horrible under obama, now it is broken beyond repair. We have the worst of both systems at this point. Same for college education. Just enough gov intervention to dick up the market price while greed takes over and puts $ above the general well being of society...I remember when trump signed right to try and holy shit big pharma and big med came out swinging. Same for HCQ. You would have thought Trump had said it was okay to eat battery acid. That right there was a red flag to me that something isnt right.
