medications, including Vitamin C, cod liver oil, and the inhaled steroid budesonide

So glad to see we are using cod liver oil instead of those dangerous vaccines! /s

    How does this sort of stuff compare with the old ‘crackpot Chinese medicine!’ We’re regressing from modern medicine back to snake oil and miracle cures it’s obviously stupid it’s morbidly funny.

      It’s funny because Chinese snake oil (made from Chinese water snakes) may have actually been effective for aches and soreness due to its high omega-3 content. Then, American charlatans got ahold of the “snake oil” idea and made it with “alternative” ingredients (mineral oil, maybe rattlesnake if you’re lucky) that did not convey the same benefits.
