MEDS! Finally, my husband read his doctor the riot act.

14. He might need a second or third opinion, but I'm not sure it should be influenced by a "lay person."

And let's cut the "Big Pharma" crap. What matters is not the cliches that become pointless.

"“Everybody’s private motto: It’s better to be popular than right…” I’ve grown increasingly unfavorable toward the term Big Pharma. Despite our best of efforts among the progressive and revolutionary left in recognizing Big Pharma as a by-product of capital bureaucracy among the healthcare industry, the term has become completely diluted with leftist conspiracy theorism.

You cannot go into a single demonstration today, shout out against Big Pharma, without gathering a large crowd of pseudo-scientists who adhere to the “appeal to nature” logical fallacy as a result.

Big Pharma has become a popular term among those who adhere to lifestyle politics. They adhere to pseudo-scientific ideals of remaining “pure with nature” through means of alternative “medicine”. When the term is culminated, per se, among leftist demonstrations, subsequent screams can be heard against vaccines and claims of adamancy that the cure for cancer is being withheld from the general public through some large scientist-doctor joint conspiracy – not to mention the occasional holding of hands in collective meditation to counter against bad corporate juju.

The pseudo-science of the left is increasingly becoming aware. Where many notice anti-science among the right, whether it be against evolution, climate change, the denial of one’s sexual orientation, abortions, or stem cell research, the left is equally flooded in anti-science, whether it be against vaccinations, nuclear energy,GMOs, the adherence to alternative “medicines”, the promotion of shady “science” in opposition to animal testing for medical purposes, etc. etc. Both political spheres adhere to pseudo-science, or the complete denial of science altogether.
