I started watching Painkiller tonight, the story about the heroin-derived drug, oxycodone.
It's made me the most sympathetic I've ever been to the vaccine-hesitant.
The US and Canada have a lot of work to do to rebuild trust and credibility. The entire pharmaceutical industry is tainted with greed.
Yes, a vaccine is very different than an opioid, but to the average person, taking medicine is a matter of trusting a whole medical system; we need to acknowledge how that trust has been abused.
@sumpnlikefaith I really don't hate people for not trusting the pharma industry.
I don't either. But I do still trust that vaccines save a kerjillion lives and prevent untold suffering.
@sumpnlikefaith
Yes I agree !
And not just the oxycodone drug fiasco, but the general state of health care in America. People are not stupid, they see the harm medical debt brings. They see the government completely ignore their health needs.
