    I was wondering when they would start to figure out that maybe it’s a bad idea for the government to get between people and their doctors.

      Most will only realize its a bad idea when it affects them. Just like they can only empathize with someone who is experiencing the exact same thing they are.

      “Getting between people and doctors” is maybe the wrong wording, that’s the excuse snake oil salesmen and antivaxxers use. The FDA and other regulatory bodies should get between people and doctors, the opiod crisis peddled by big pharma is enough proof.

      Remember during the height of COVID when quacks (and the president) were prescribing dewormers?
