Lots of people claim drugs are responsible for a lot of things negative and dismiss all of the positive which is why some of these diseases, like measles etc. have resurfaced amongst children. A lot of people forget that measles can and DOES kill and inoculations are the reason so many kids have been saved from death.
I think bias is something to be aware of but it isn't the be all and end all in terms of medicinal efficacy for humans or non-human animals. | Well said Misty! It's nice to have not one but two scientists on YT!
