While i agree I do place some blame on doctors and pharmaceutical companies. The distrust of medicine and doctors didn’t happen in a vacuum. Doctors often get perks or straight up cash from pharmaceutical reps to push medications or medical devices that arent needed, straight up dont work, or cause permanent injury.
Doctors whored us out to the Sackler family and helped cause the opioid crisis. I can’t really fault someone for having a lack of trust
And very few MDs pushing opiods had any repercussions.
