We are at the mercy of a sadistic medical system

 

Despite sound evidence of unscientific practices and intense corruption in modern medicine, there is no systematic effort to help the suffering population.

 Part 5

We have been pointing out the fallacies of medicine and the consequent impacts on individuals and society for a very long time. But have we really reached anywhere?

Not only have we failed to stop the juggernaut, but developments point towards more widespread harm from various quarters that is truly alarming.

Toxic healthcare, it seems is the tip of the iceberg.

• US officials have admitted that the entire economic and development ecosystem is geared to make people sick. Ranging from junk and processed food to pesticides and herbicides, pollution, additives like fluoride in drinking water, spraying chemicals in the atmosphere for geoengineering, to extreme toxins in commonly used products; there is a lot to be worried about
• People are sick because the system wants them to be sick. Health and health consciousness are bad for the economy
• It has been revealed that the regulators have failed in every step and they have colluded with the polluters and manufacturers by declaring products safe despite strong evidence to the contrary
• Critics and whistleblowers have been ignored and silenced, and the issues buried

There are several concerns;

• The WHO is going ahead with a treaty that threatens to strip citizen of rights and make those very products mandatory that are making headlines the world over for their terrible adverse impacts exposed by thousands of studies; the US Health Secretary himself admits he has a compilation of 5000 of them
• The US and some other countries have stepped out of the WHO and are also criticizing other international agencies as well. But these moves too have not changed anything
• The WHO is also trying to strip countries of their rights to determine their own health policies under the garb of "one health"
• People are being prodded towards accepting electronic and other implants, and wearables that will link them to a kind of grid and make them conduits for new technologies that seek to merge men, machines, and society; moving towards a digital network that experts are preferring to call a cage.

Is AI going to help?

• AI and automation is leading to huge layoffs. How is this going to affect the youth and earning population?
• The WHO is combining its health scares with the worsening climate scenario to justify redesigning the world with AI based healthcare. How will that affect the global population?
• What will be the impacts of all of these on health? The already sick population reeling under existing threats now face the prospect of facing fresh threats they have no idea about.
• The most frightening aspect is; there is nobody to help them. Just as AI based customer care initiatives that have replaced the human interface are going around in circles and frustrating people, the entire world being pushed towards AI based control translates to a total elimination of human empathy in all aspects of life.
• The very people who are pushing AI are warning about this. Aditya Kashyap of Morgan Stanley admits AI is built for optimization, not care.

This highlights another aspect; all sides, whether for or against, are talking the same lingo while asserting that "changes are required". That leaves the public a very confused lot. Who do they trust?

Are we ready for the changes we know precious little about? Should we accept such changes? Are we capable of tolerating such changes?

There are so many unasked questions that have no answers.
