Reposted by ComMatthew Downhour @matthewdownhour.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I do think MAHA comes out of frustration with interaction with evidence based medicine but that’s often because the nature of evidence based medicine is that it can’t answer questions as simply and definitively as people want, whereas an alternative doc can speak as authoritatively as their pastor 1620124
