Smart people are loathe to trust for-profit corps with their health.

How safe do you find those opioids now? What were they saying in front of the congressional committee? What were their sales reps saying? What were their privately-funded goal-seeking researchers saying?

Medical science and profit should not be mixed. I mean, look at this mess here in America.

We can agree that profit motive can corrupt science and delivery of medicine without declaring that all of medicine is therefore bad.

It is called not throwing out the baby with the bath water.

Smart people make finer distinctions.

Honest, capable people don't put words in other people's mouths.

Please show me where I said, "All of medicine is therefore bad." No, you said that.

Now, will you apologize? I doubt it.

Will you do better at reading and understanding in the future? I sincerely hope so.
