While there aren’t good numbers on that sort of thing, I think that over prescription of drugs is very likely one of the top five causes of death. And I do agree with people’s views of the medical industry being a stumbling block as well. People do put a lot of faith into that industry that it clearly doesn’t deserve, even though they have a dark history, and all sorts of modern day questionable practices. I’ve known people who said they were strongly against big pharma, but yet were also very pro vaccine, often mocking anyone who questioned them. It’s like they didn’t realize that major pharmaceutical companies are also in the business of making vaccines. Ryan Long has an excellent bit about this-
Of course, everything I said applies to doctors and other healthcare workers as well. No one forces them to be doctors, and if they start suspecting that they are taking advantage of uninformed people, they can change their ways, including leaving the medical profession and giving up their license. I believe Dr. Tom Cowan did exactly this. Freeway Ricky Ross did an interview with Patrick Bet David a while back. In the 80’s, he was large dealer of cocaine. At first, he didn’t think he was doing anything morally wrong, just helping people to have a good time. As he saw that it really was destroying people’s health and lives over the years, he realized he had to change what he was doing, his story is interesting and that interview is well worth listening to. If a dealer of illicit drugs can do such a thing, certainly dealers of legal drugs can do the same.
