There must be a name for this sort of fallacy of thinking.

“A isn’t perfect therefore I choose to believe in B.”

Where A is an evidence-based discipline with some shortcomings and B is unevidenced woo. I’d rather something that works and can be proven to work over a good narrative, myself.

Several of your criticisms there also only apply to the American way of running a health system, that’s a choice that’s not taken everywhere.
