It’s as if doctors and the whole western medical industry has completely lost the trust of patients. I wonder what could have led to so many people losing their faith in that industry.

Could it be the insurance kickbacks they’re now known to receive for vaccine administration? Could it be that they got the food pyramid completely wrong for decades? Could it be that we’re now sicker than ever with all of their “help”?

I grew up trusting doctors and vaccinating my children, but it’s not exactly surprising that we have the results that they’ve given us (sicker than ever) and trust is lost.

Are we though? Globally, mortality rates continue to decline and lifespan to increase. We definitely are seeing increases in classes of disease (eg. immune system related) as others decrease, but I feel your statement doesn’t reflect what’s being measured. Unless you’re referring to mental health issues?
