Your divides are artificial.
It is like talking about "lobbying groups" and "the government" and "the media" being "competing interests". They are not. They are all run by the same people who move back and forth freely.
And none of them have your interests at heart.
>> Except there are no “competing interests”. Doctors work for the insurance industries. They also work for Big Pharma. And for the Big Medical conglomerates. Sometimes all at the same time. <<
See, this is how I know I’m dealing with an internet hothead. Did I say that doctors were competing interests vs the insurance companies? No, the conflicting interests I mentioned were Big Insurance v. Big Pharma. I said doctors were somewhere in between. Some work directly for HMOs and other Big Insurance entities. Others shill for Big Pharma, scandalously. Some even manage to work for both. But you wanted to attack my point, so you used elements of what I said, but not what I actually said.
You can impugn all businesses related to medical (not “health” - a commie PC shell game trick), but it’s not necessarily so.
I have an in to the medical industry, only just retired after decades, and they’re conservative. The stories of lawyers and the problems they’ve caused would make your head spin. BTW, that includes their take on the COVID hysteria.
Don’t forget, those who push “natural” are easily as palm-greasing as any legitimate research facility, and they have zero pay-out to FDA and CDC, etc. 100% profit compared to the “establishment”.
