A nice piece via vox day from Karl Denninger.
https://voxday.net/2021/10/02/zero-trust-for-white-coats/After the last 18 months I really don’t care what you advocate or advise. Nor any other doctor. Or nurse. Or politician.
You see, the folks in your profession lied too many times over too short of a period of time for it to be overlooked as “mistakes.” You’ve been caught, and rather than apologize and point the finger at who coerced you into lying (or even better, shivving them in public on TeeVee) your response was to double down and place your job and income above people’s lives.
If I can read medical journal articles so can you. But it’s not my job to do so — it is, however, part of yours. As alleged “experts” you have a duty to keep up to date on what’s been discovered and to be prepared to discuss and debate it. Dismissing such out of hand isn’t the mark of a professional in any field; it is the mark of someone who wields credentials as a weapon and deserves to have them shoved up their ass.
But now the joke’s on you. You’ve destroyed the credibility of the so-called “medical profession” on a permanent basis for a huge number of people, myself included. I’d rather go to a Voodoo practitioner for medical advice; there, at least, all I might get conned out of is $20 or $50 to sacrifice a chicken to a piece of rock with some feathers sticking out of it.

This of course isn't the first time either. For decades you so-called "experts" told Americans to eat the "food pyramid", loaded at the bottom with fast carbohydrates. You also told us to substitute for butter and other saturated fats with unsaturated, machine-processed and stabilized vegetable oil replacements and claimed they were good. We now know that was bull**** and in fact transfats, which do not exist in nature, have a safe human dose approximating zero.
I listened to you folks on "what to eat" for a couple of decades. My body mass and waistline kept getting bigger. After Obamacare was passed it became abundantly clear that within a decade or so the health system would go straight down the crapper and thus if I needed it I was going to die, and it would probably hurt. So I did the exact opposite of what all you ghouls recommend -- and promptly lost 60lbs, entirely stabilized my glucose metabolism and now am faster, as a runner, than I was at 17 in High School. Argue with the clock if you'd like.
