Comment on The increasing distrust many Americans have in modern medical advances is probably mostly due to our failing Healthcare system.

  It’s tough when doctors have been liars too, like those who are hired to push a certain narrative by corporations, or those who participated in unethical studies, or basically all doctors to women saying all our problems are emotional and in our heads while ignoring objective medical facts/symptoms.

  When I see how differently men and women are treated in medicine, it’s hard to trust doctors to be objective. They’re just not.

  I’m doing my best to be a good little Democrat and look down on those who don’t trust doctors but geeze, experiencing a pregnancy and then giving birth in America makes it real hard to give doctors the benefit of the doubt.

    You absolutely can, and should, hold liara accountable. The “don’t hate the player, hate the game” excuse simply doesn’t fly for everything.

    Any system capable of countering a determined attempt to spread misinformation would by design attach penalties to such lies, and those penalties would be enforced on the liars. What successful fix could even be proposed that withholds blame?
