Why do we so eagerly take to woo?

65. Who said politicians are scientists?

Profit motive and bureaucratic corruption skew medicine. This is not a fault of medicine or science, but of a for-profit capitalist system influencing them.

If you have type 2 diabetes, tell me, what would you do? Would yougo to a doctor who will prescribe you something, generally from a selection of these twelve medicines... or do you just guzzle colloidal silver?

Oh my bad, collidal silver is what you take in case of tuberculosis, HIV, and cancer

Don't give me this "your examples are silly." My examples are all totally "true" examples of "alternative medicine" from "traditional chinese medicine" to homeopathy to Kinoki detox foot pads to crystal healing, to Deepak chopra's "quantum theory of aging" to jenny McCarthy and her anti-vaccine horseshit, alongside faith healing, aromatherapy, and ayurvedic practice... I tossed in cold fusion and rainmaking just 'cause fuck it, they belong in there too. If you want to rush up to defend alternative medicine, you're telling me that hacking off a tiger's dick and eating it will improve your own virility. "But that's silly," yeah, so is the rest of it, even the garbage you might believe in.

I don't appreciate anti-scientific efforts to scam people out of their money, their health, or their security, nor do I appreciate the promotion of this bullshit, as it furthers scientific ignorance in our society. I think we're better off having escaped the times where disease was caused by demons, and medicine was seen as evil sorcery, don't you?
