The agents of the medical industrial complex are significantly less reliable than used car salesmen (no offense to used car salesman.)
They've been at this for a long time and have mastered several dark arts:
- exaggeration
- fear mongering
- selling expensive "cures" when a cheaper one is better
- taking credit for what nature does by itself
- covering their a** when they screw up.
The Corona virus has given them the opportunity to use all their skills to the max.
