This movement isn’t suggesting we do away with regulation. It is providing options for people who literally have NO access to life changing medication because of the for-profit pharmaceutical industry.
I know, but the risk of injury is so high, and the history of medical snake-oil salesmen exploiting the desperate is long and bloody.
This is like letting people build shanty-towns to deal with the housing shortage: it helps in the short-term, but the chance or harm is huge and it takes energy away from dealing with the real issue.
I actually think this is bringing an enormous amount of attention to the issue, especially once this group goes to court/jail for it. Where else should this energy be spent? This isn’t a new issue and it’s only got worse over time. I think extreme measures are warranted.
Cant be any worse than it already is
I highly suggest you look at the history of medicine leading up to and into late 1800s and early 1900s
There’s a reason why we have regulations, and those reasons are horrifying.
