I guess my faith in internet readers' abilities to detect sarcasm was unfounded. One would think I would know better after 15+ years online.
The sad thing is that I missed the sarcasm because your post was actually tame compared to some of the conspiracy theories out there about the medical industry. It really is sad the amount of doubt in the system people can have without any proof, while they refuse to believe what is said by the experts even if the proof is irrefutable.
