Why should Americans trust public health or the government after decades of utter failure? Every single measurable data point of health has decreased under the 'experts' watch. Record cancer, obesity, heart disease, mental health disaster, etc. The messaging around the covid vaccines and masking was a disaster.
Same thing is happening in Europe and other developed nations. UK considering giving ozempic to unemployed? How about subsidized or free gym memberships instead? Things are going to get alot worse before getting better. The established intuitions will continue to double down no doubt.
