    “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?

      Please, don’t call it that. It was, yes, technically “the president” at the time, but we don’t have to call it that anymore, or ever again — even when referring to that (not brief enough) period in history.
