It’s wild how many parents are terrified of a vitamin shot but completely comfortable trusting random wellness influencers with zero medical background. And the really tragic part is that newborns don’t exactly get a second chance if the gamble goes wrong.

China recently decimated their (previously thriving) influencer ecosystem, simply by requiring that health influencers have documented health education, financial influencers have finance education, etc… China implemented the rule, and immediately banned like ~95% of all their health influencers. The rule targets both individual influencers and the platforms that host them. And no platform wants to stick their neck out and eat fines for some random influencer. So influencers who didn’t have documented education got banned basically overnight.

We need this AND it will never happen here.

China is clearly winning at modern society. The US is an empire in decline and it’s becoming more clear by the day.

We so fucked.

IDK if China is really a great example here, considering how many Chinese doctors will still tell you that drinking cold water is bad for you, and garlic makes people horny.

human beings are wired to trust other people's confident bullshit.

far more than they trust something abstract like medical knowledge backed by scientific studies.

it's not any different why the charming asshole narcissist is socially popular and the accurate nerdy scientist is seen as weird and anti-social.

That explains why I still see assholes with signs that support the pedo-in-chief, and have signs that are anti-Fauci. Also explains why Rand is trying to get Fauci indicted on bullshit charges.

What a shitty world.

It's literally because these people are manipulated by fear -- influencers intentionally use emotionally loaded language while doctors very intentionally do not.
