I hate to frame it this way but I seems to be the case of the blind leading the blind.
It's not the individuals "fault" necessary...
we were trained to be followers,
and those who trained-us-to-follow had mostly financial interests in mind.
So while much of the stuff that they've trained us to do doesn't work,
it's all we've been trained to know...
so we become afraid of our own bodies and hold on to each other emotionally out of shared-fear and mutual support...
But we don't have to keep going along this path... the internet is providing an end-round in relation to the medical prerogative, and is providing us with options that help us to think and approach things with a more direct clarity. We no longer have to follow the lead lemming over the cliff... but we do have to intelligently remove ourselves from the line, and explore in such ways that make a difference... :^)
