Is anyone else worried about the damage this man could do to the health system when Trump gives him an influencial role?

I feel like if he gets his way I’ll be prescribed sunshine, exercise, raw milk, and whatever drug a pharmaceutical bribed him to sell, instead of the immunomodulators I really need.
He’s like a mix of your uncle who thinks your chronic illness would go away if you “go outside and get some sunshine, stop being so negative, and eat more xyz” and your aunt who believes “acupuncture and supplements will cure you and all other medicines are a conspiracy”.
Yes, pasteurisation is generally regarded as a massive breakthrough for a reason
Thev raw milk wackos are right that raw milk is much tastier than Supermarket milk, but that's because of homogenization, not pasteurization.
A local farm here has "unprocessed" milk that is still pasteurized, and it's absolutely amazing, like drinking a desert. And best of all, it won't kill you.

The only merit raw unpasteurized milk has is that you can make some damned good cheese and butter with it, but that's controlled fermentation so the risk of getting sick is low.
So I do wish raw milk was more available, just not on supermarket shelves(because idiots will drink that shit)
Yes, that shit is AMAZING...I drink it like a fine brandy
