Medicine cannot operate on how you want it to. Allow me to explain.Just like what I was saying above, "modern medicine" isn't some singular entity. There are many practices that work and don't work and many physicians that have differing opinions. This is why people switch doctors or get second opinions or try new methods of procuring health and wellness.
So I have, like daily, about 5-10 dudes that come with various accidents. Now I cannot PL to much, but let's just say that I HAVE to operate based on what you call "faith", i.e. assumptions that a specific bone with a specific name is broken, and that specific nerves and veins might have been severed. Everything builds on previous knowledge, without a constant demand for proof. I cannot ask why the EKG machine is outputting specific wave format. I have to base my understanding on what I have learned about it. I cannot reinterpret the normal values for hemoglobin and leucocytes. I have to rely on previous data and medical consensus.
There will be mistakes, sure. But it's not "the science" that's at fault. Science is descriptive of an objective reality. The mistakes are because we're flawed and pretty stupid, but more importantly, because we're VERY new at this.
There are no skeptics in the hospital, BTW. Everyone that comes with serious issues is a full believer. They know they're in trouble, and even as flawed a system this is, there's no alternative, yeah. Especially for emergencies. When your arm is in a 90 degrees angle and the pain makes you faint, there's ZERO skepticism involved, just an animalic desire to go under the knife as soon as possible and see it back in a functional mode.
There is indeed corruption and big money issues. I think it would be best if we focused on those, so bad incentives can be removed, and we can punish harshly those that misuse science to further an agenda or for financial accumulation. If we had that in place, the Pfizer and Modern staff would be in jail. Not because some conspiracy, but because some vaxxie lots were contaminated, and most of the adverse effects come from specific batches, further proof of contamination. In an uncorrupt system, we would have trials and life imprisonment, confiscation of wealth etc.
