You do not seem to understand that everything we have with regard to creature comforts was given to us by knowledge and the scientists that trade in that currency..
They doubled our life span in the last 150 years. They gave us electricity, antibiotics, cars and planes and the internet and democracy and ethics.
We lived like animals until they gained control just recently. The ignorant, rich, and churches kept them down for all of history.
We had slavery until 1865 for Christ's sake. Doesn't get any more barbaric than that.
And the idea there is some other system for what, science,? is silly.
It is, what it is, and democracy is our only power to defend ourselves.
Our only defense to the rich controlling us, as they did for all of history, is our democracy, but the grand irony is while the anti science folks complain about big pharma, it is really the rich who are the problem.
And everyone knows the Republican party supported by MAGA is the party of the rich.
BUT the MAGA folks are among the poorest. So what are they doing?
Working against their own best interests.
Your thesis makes no sense.

Doctors have mostly been misled by their corrupt Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons. The whole system is rotten to the core with it and the FDA captured by big pharma. We're just going to have to agree to disagree. Your use of the oxymoron: "settled science," ironically, settles it for me. When the money decides the outcome, no good comes from it, and I believe that many doctors don't even know they're pushing ineffective, unsafe poisons, yet iatrogenesis is the third leading cause of death. |
