I don't know exactly when this happened, but people-- at least in the first world-- seem to have decided that they do not want to deal with disease or discomfort. Ever. Discomfort is scary. So... take a shot so you don't get the flu. Make sure you are never in discomfort or, even worse, pain. Do anything you can to make sure discomfort and pain never happen.

That’s how we end up with opioid pandemics… that’s what the med schools have been teaching students, to aggressively treat pain. Doctors need to take back control of schools. 90% of med school curriculum is established by pharma. Pill-pushing engrained in system.
