I don't know if it is all total grift, mostly because I am incapable of locating with precision the date, time, and place on which the government's credibility forever bit the dust.

At one time the CDC's word was good. Reliable. Now it is difficult to trust them to tell you what day of the week it is. You would want to check for yourself.

It may have been, by and large, a combination of lassitude and mission creep.

The polio vaccines were considered miraculous. And others followed on. And then there were more. And more. And for the longest while there did not seem to be any consequences so folks lined up and like good citizens got the shots and the vaccines and the this and the that because who wanted to be the neighborhood Luddite?

And now it is slowly dawning on people that maybe more is less.

Real science is needed and that is quite difficult to conduct when you are working with human health and emergent diseases. But that is no reason to default to treatment that is supposed to be prevention, but is, undeniably, treatment in its own right.

Hoping for the best for an overhaul with all the 'health' thinkers.
