I'm going to ask my practice manager to put in a very strong pro-science statement into our clinic's website. I hope my colleagues in veterinary medicine, and in human medicine, will do the same. We've gotten more than a few new clients from the "holistic" vets in town after they became dissatisfied with the results of their "treatments"…

Already several of my FB friends have praised RFK The Much Lesser, and I've had to work to disabuse them of that notion. Unfortunately the anti-science/anti-Western medicine bias started by Wakefield and catalyzed by Jenny McCarthy (aided and abetted by Oprah Winfrey) is still very strong with some people. It's going to take all of us in medicine to push back.
Don't forget the Krystyun Taliban taking over Congress in 1994 and telling all that "Their" Book said nothong of science and therefore federal science funding was slashed accross the board. At USGS alone, we were executing hundreds of projects identifying geological hazards that would impact all parts of the country and world. Who mapped the oil deposits in the Arctic? Many hundreds of millions in NSF funding wasted, along with careres of those of us RIFed due to a lack of salary. They have been at it for the past 100 years. The Nazis were backed by the oligarchy of industry then and..... I could go on and on.....
How did Oprah aid the bullschittery. She introduced Drs Phil and Oz and likely regrets it. I loved both before they lost their minds. I don’t recall Oprah ever being anti-Science. She did focus on emotional health, but never anti-science. I watched her and admired her honesty and truth. The cretins started slandering her back in Tea Party days. The lies were obvious.
As a vet, you likely know that charges for animal care have skyrocketed and will likely mean that more animals are abandoned. I know how difficult that road is since my nephew worked his arse off to become a vet. Still…it’s a problem when I compare what was and what is.

I remember, old has some advantage, but who listens
