If we fail to do something about it, this could destroy all of us
We are heading for a world with two groups of people who want nothing to do with each other...
The medicated, and the unmedicated.
This has the potential to become a social status game with the government supporting those who bend the knee to big pharma and big government instead of accepting personal responsibility.
There is absolutely a place for pharmaceuticals, medical doctors, and government. We have to be significantly more cynical about how these entities participate in our lives, before we have no say at all.
