So, my an online american friend said"My mom didn’t want to vaccine vax cuzs autism". Is he joking? I know many people say thing like that but i thought they all were joking?
In my country which is a third world country no one believe shit like that even my Grand mother who is illiterate and religious don’t believe thing like that and knows the benefit of vaccine.
Tons of doctors care about public health. Perhaps hospital administrations don’t and are only concerned with money, but they are not doctors.
Pharmaceutical companies may be suspect, but it’s the same thing: The suits in charge, not the people working to find solutions for people in need.
Ascribing these attitudes towards the people who are actual stewards of public health who are are constantly blocked by an administrative class that is more worried about profits has everything to do with being in a brutal capitalist society and almost nothing to do with “doctors who don’t care about public health.”
The people who come to conclusions that they can’t trust those in the medical field at all are throwing the baby out with the bathwater and have no ability to parse the nuance of such a situation.
I’m not saying all doctors are perfect, I have had some shitty doctors in my life. But by and large I’ve had more who were concerned with my health enough to help me than I have had those who simply don’t care what happens to me.
