Maybe we should bring back leeches if we're just going to ignore medical science and instead just go with the feelings of a misinformed public.

Do you want public advice that is followed (useful) or public advice that is ignored (not useful)?

The ability to have the public accept advice is a capability that has unquestionably eroded. However smart an expert may be, they aren’t helping anyone if people won’t listen when they speak.
