Most who read this blog are likely aware of this. This is quite the hilarious and informative piece by John Oliver and staff. But it makes many valid points.
I learned about this when a few years ago a Kaiser Permanente doctor I went to prescribed “statins“… to “prevent heart disease” and “keep me healthy”. I later learned of the negative side effects of statins, which that doctor never told me about… I never went back to that doctor.
Typical “head up okole” Western medicine… when something’s wrong, hit it with a few pills. And make the doctor and Big pharma lots of money.
Remember, it’s the “Military industrial pharmaceutical educational historical governmentical controlled mass media” complex.
