The covid response completely destroyed ANY trust at all that I had in the medical/pharma establishment.
Now the only people that I trust are those who, during Covid, and at great personal risk/cost, told the truth, and especially told what they were seeing as a result of the vaccine.
What is really mind-blowing to me, what I didn't understand before, is how vicious and aggressive the establishment is, towards those who undermine the narrative. The truth tellers - in other words, those who pursue real science - i.e. who question things - had their medical license taken away, etc.
This applies to the covid jab. And also in my experience, a lot of experts who got off the "climate crisis" bandwagon were also viciously cancelled and defunded. If you're a climatologist and don't believe the current narrative, you're SOL and your career is over. Younger scientists sense this, and toe the party line. So, you're NOT GETTING the truth.
I'm happy to do my own research. And especially since I've become carnivore, I see first hand how much improved my health is without carbs, and then I see the recommendations from the "experts" (eat low fat, eat high carb, avoid red meat completely) and I'm very much reinforced in my skepticism of "experts".
Can't speak for climate and health science, every time I bring up this topic, it shows they are really different from my own experience.
By the way, are there still many experts who are anti-fat and pro-carb? In my experience, talking with my sister who graduated as a mainstream doctor, it doesn't seem this is the main narrative anymore. It seems to be mostly focused on low sugar. Sugar and processed food are the root of most evil in current-day cuisine. And that's agreed upon by the mainstream. Fat is not the big evil anymore; that was the case during my parents' generation when I was growing up.
As for (red) meat, the mainstream is trying not to push it too much as it is likely not sustainable if everyone lives on beef alone. It is a very resource-intensive type of cattle (this is true, regardless of whether you believe in climate change). But from a health perspective, people who understand "a percentage on a percentage" realize that the supposed increase in cancers, etc, is negligible in the big picture and understand the benefits of eating something that is by definition full of nutrients.
This is based on my experience in Korea and Europe. I can't speak for the prevailing narrative in the US.
