If you think Western medicine is mostly useless and incredibly harmful you might want to explain how increased longevity and better health outcomes is both useless and harmful.

Do you want medicine based upon known molecular interactions and proven efficacy - or would you prefer sympathetic magic that if you eat a tiger's testicles you get the sexual power of the tiger?

If you have no understanding of how things actually work - it is easy to assume it is all magical.

Primitive and superstitious thinking produces primitive superstitious medicine for primitive superstitious people.

I think you’ve overstated your mostly correct point.
