As it is, it infuriates me because that money could be going to legitimate research searching for real cures using real science. Saving lives and enriching the standard of living for those who ail.
Somewhere along the line, people started treating all ideas as equally worthwhile (or worthless depending on your view). So the anti-vaxers have equal standing with scientists and CAM promoters get to share the stage with medical researchers who do REAL work and acupuncturists are given the same esteem as doctors. Stupidity and ignorance are seen to be desirable traits while those who are more intellectual and reasonable are attacked and derided.
Hey National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine: go fuck yourselves. Really, I mean it. Go. Fuck. Yourselves. Just because it makes you feel better doesn't mean it cures you, and just because it's "natural" doesn't mean it's somehow inherently better.
Jesus H. Christ, the whole thing pisses me off!
