It’s nice to think that there is a grand conspiracy when from our side, we KNOW the answers and it seems like the establishment forces are willfully trying to kill us by ignoring such obvious data. Unfortunately, I don’t believe that the parties (for the most part) are either smart enough OR evil enough to pull that off.
The broken nature of the system that binds so many of the pieces together means that the incompetent support the lazy which covers the evil and leaves us where we are. Even Big Pharma, which does evil things now and again, is a product of the system we generally , support, capitalism, which is supposed to get better results, faster. Why should they research things that won’t make them money? As to wanting to keep us sick, as an amorphous industry, that may be true but that’s not generally how things work. It is in the interests of any one company to cure something, make a ton of money at the expense of their competitors and re-invest that in the next cure. The real problem with Pharma is that I really don’t believe that they are smart enough to cure that many things that threaten us today. The easy things have all been done (until antibiotics stop working, which they might soon). They are NOT smart enough to invent drugs to cure things because they are locked into science pathways that probably CANNOT ever cure what they face, no matter how hard they try (and they do try hard). The fact that they aren’t even that good at treating symptoms - cannabis/CBDs are much more effective in managing chronic diseases than billions of $s of drug research - suggests they aren’t half as clever as they think they are.
The doctors won’t change en masse until the standards of care change, which won’t change until there is a ton of new science that can overturn the conventional wisdom which has a ton of inertia. I do hold the disease organizations (AHA, ADA, etc.) very accountable since they should be in the best spot to see the evidence based medicine working across a vast patient base, but due to fear, liability, pride and commercial avarice (donations and certifications) they do little to nothing.
Government is far from blameless but they followed scientists who convinced non-scientist bureaucrats that they were doing the right thing for the people that then got reinforced by agricultural policy that helped farmers, etc. Rarely has ‘trying to help’ harmed so many people. It is hard to move that supertanker around when the scientists are so slow to move themselves.
Anyway, I don’t think anyone is TRYING to kill us… they are just doing an incredible job in unintentionally but ACTUALLY killing us
