Especially medical technology, we are curing or at least managing and preventing conditions that would have caused harm or even death 100 years ago

That said, many of these Covid 19 health experts are nothing more than shamans.

Ditto on the highly specialized stuff. I've had a lot of dental done over the years. The last time I needed a crown, the crown was installed in about 30 minutes after the imaging of the remaining tooth took place. It use to take a couple of weeks to manufacture the crown.

Yeah, like I said before I am most likely facing where I will have to take drops for glaucoma the rest of my life but the good thing is my eyes are still OK and with due diligence of listening to my optometrist's instructions and taking my meds, there in a greater than 90% chance where that is all I need and prevent any damage. He said to me, "I wish more people would take it as seriously as you." Anyhoo I want to keep on living, driving and having fun in life plus taking drops is a small price to pay to keep my sight as it is.

I think Big Pharma does get demonized a little too much, they do more good than harm but on the Coronavirus thing, they messed up on that one. I just think they developed the vaccines too fast and jumped past the general testing that is usually done and we are seeing the results now. My father and stepmother had all their shots but both still got the Coronavirus. My stepmother is 79, she made it through OK but my father who just turned 85, he was in hospital for 10 days with the Coronavirus, pneumonia along with his COPD. He's still weak but getting along better as much as a man with COPD and oxygen can do. He is back to yelling at the goofs the Steelers are making this year. B-)
