The Fauci of the era would’ve told them nothing works without his magic beans. I mean c’mon, don’t be stupid Mr Science is talking here. Hemlock enemas all around!…
Don't trust anyone who pays no price for being wrong.
What price did doctors pay for prescribing heroin, cocaine, mercury salts, smoking, electrocuting prisoner's brains, forced lobotomies, forced hysterectomies, torturing soldiers with PTSD, torturing prisoners of war, going from cadavers to assisting in child birth without so much as changing their clothing or washing their hands, or helping to establish the drug war? What price did they pay? How many people did they hurt?
The only reason people trust them is because of conditioning, normalcy bias, and woefully dangerous naivety.
You must be a fellow fan of the brilliant Thomas Sowell, who said:
"It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."
I am well aware of the history of medical malpractice. Gino Bartali won the Tour de France before and after WWII, and during the war he smuggled inside his bicycle frame fake documents from the forger to the priest who gave them to Italian Jews A doctor prescribed him cigarettes, to which he remained hooked for life. Semmelweis was the doctor who figured out that handwashing between patients (and cadavers) would drastically reduce infection rates. He was labeled a "spreader of misinformation" and his career was destroyed for telling the truth. Dr. max Jacobson gave Mickey Mantle an amphetamine injection in the fall of '61. The needle hit Mickey's hip bone and caused an infection that made him drop out of the home run race with Roger Maris. We may owe a debt of gratitude to the quack Hugo Morrel, Hitler's doctor, who prescribed him meth, which made him paranoid, so he didn't trust his generals, and told them how to do their job.
. I don't use doctors. My chronically ill, pill-popping friends say I'm crazy not to at least get annual checkups and bloodwork. Whatev.
I guess in those days a leprosy vaccine could have made some charlatan filthy rich.

In the 30s and 40s doctors prescribed cigarettes to treat lung problems.

Yes to all.
