And this is why science is getting a bad name. I can kinda understand why there is scepticism on the field, especially vaccine. When explained why vaccine is not pure snakes oil, a retort could be “Oh yeah? Those times when pharmaceuticals did such and such…”

The American medical system has been openly screwing people over for decades. It’s hard to instill trust in things like vaccines when people are repeatedly treated that way.
I don’t blame the doctors, or the nurses, or the scientists. They are generally doing the best they can in a shitty system. I blame the people who built the system to intentionally be shitty: The administrators, owners, and politicians.

If only we had independent scientists doing peer reviewed studies.
