This is RFK Jr at work, no? This is what he was pushing. Apparently someone at the Guardian rolled over.

Canada. Our system is still rebuilding after idiot hillbillies took horse dewormer to treat covid and docs quit from the PTSD of keeping so many aggressive people alive who were sharing a brain cell and still knew everything.

Docs don't ... examine people right now. Have a sore arm? Go get an x-ray and draw some blood. Are you up to date with your tests? Do a FIT test. We'll call if the x-ray shows anything wrong or the tests show anything else. Do you want to make a phone appointment next time?

They are ALL ABOUT the pharma candy. Trying to get them to ramp it down is a struggle. Statin cough? Never heard of it; don't trust google; you should be on a dose stronger than the lowest anyway, even for prophylatics; nah, all in your head; or it's temporary. (After month 4 I moved myself from minimal dosage to even less, and the issue went away almost overnight. Time for a new doctor.)

Real doctors will try drug holidays or not taking medication, to see if the under lying issue is still present, but this is something that should be doctor initiated. These article read like they are preparing people for extreme pricing and a depression.
