Com @thecom.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I don’t think the influence of Chiropractors and alt health providers and MAHA in general comes from legitimate grievances with private healthcare. It’s downstream of anti intellectualism and a general hostility toward toward expertise. 120

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
Com @thecom.bsky.social · 07/09/2026As fake as this anecdote is I think it’s emblematic of the cross pollination going on from MAHA to lefty circles.You have a Ph.D in English and you’re trying to dunk on your doctor for correcting you?
