There is a general distrust of Big Pharma and Western Medicine, while other distrust Big Government and Modern Science (unless it is being used to develop means to kill people or bugs or weeds).

It’s Big Pharma that gave us the opioid epidemic. Although not developed here, it was German Big Pharma that gave the world thalidomide and it’s only one woman at the FDA who stopped it from reaching this nation, an agency that pharmaceutical firms want to render toothless. Western medicine saves countless lives but too much is driven by profits rather than finding the best treatment.
