This shit right here is why people don't trust the medical community. Nonconsensual vaginal and anal exams are beyond the fucking pale. There is legitimately something wrong with these people.

No, this shit is largely unknown, ~~and if you read the article it’s also a thing decades past, and punishable by law nowadays.~~

The reason why people don’t trust medicine is active misinformation about biG bAd PhArMa and appeal to nature.

if you read the article it’s also a thing decades past, and punishable by law nowadays.

The article says nothing of the sort. 6 states ban the practice, the author assumes it's been decreasing, and medical organizations have made statements opposing the practices. Nevertheless, after those statements were made, the practice was still ongoing.

Urgh much better link. I’ll take my mistaken conclusions from that other link out.

True but I wouldn’t say largely unknown. Depends on what community you come from

In some communities there is a distrust because the government, under the guise of medicine, performed human testing without even informing the patients/victims of what was going on, or outright lying to them.

I believe this is still legal in multiple states.
