You could not be further from the truth. If anything I have a vendetta against vaccine deniers, homeopaths and other science deniers, who are skeptical of medical institutions for all the wrong reasons, and not for right reasons, like this, which are, as I stated, largely unknown.
And Larry Nassar is also unknown?
I just mention that one because his was a particularly egregious case. Do you need me to find for you some other well-publicized examples of physicians assaulting people?
People in positions of authority have abused their power for countless generations. It's perfectly normal for people to be suspicious of authority figures.
I'm not suspicious of medical science. I'm suspicious of individual humans, who by and large I do not trust for the above reasons.
