On the bright side, I thank the last 2.5 years for completely waking me up to the following (list 1-10):

1. The enormous scale of corruption and conflicts of interests in Medicine

2. How Big Medicine, Big Tech and the Mainstream Media collude to push a narrative and agenda

3. How Big Pharma can wildly exaggerate the benefits of any medical intervention by pushing Relative Risk Reduction (not talking Absolute Risk Reduction and Number Needed to Treat). This has been going on for years

4. Lack of critical thinking skills among medical professionals

5. How academic medical institutions and physicians are the most “captured” of all when it comes to corporate interests

6. Culture of silence and fear within the medical profession. What happened to that hero independent doctor who stood up for their patients?

7. The notion of true data-driven Evidence Based Medicine is a joke. Groupthink is the modus operandi of the medical profession—if research doesn’t fit the narrative, it will rarely be published (even though equally low quality evidence will be promoted when it fits narrative)

8. The Medical Establishment will do anything possible to avoid truly promoting health and well-being. There’s no money in healthy people, so why seriously address the metabolic health crisis that we face (Hint: a tainted food supply of highly-processed junk is the main culprit)

9. In the USA, there is an unacceptable disgraceful merry-go-round at the top of agency decision makers and Big Business/Big Pharma. Healthcare will never improve while this is the case

10. The only solution is a complete revolution in healthcare and medicine. A complete clean up of our corrupted system and people at the top, who keep putting the patient and the true health of the country last.
