I think there are multiple points to be made which underpins your view that it's a complex debate.
Absolutely the unreliability issues are the most pressing and are leading to health services across the world changing their practices and in some cases simply ceasing mammogram screening. That's pretty telling imo.
Anything involving radiation is also an issue for me. Common sense tells me that ANY amount radiation is a foolish thing to subject my body to and if we could get immunity to background radiation I wonder if our health would be significantly better and maybe we'd live longer too
On top of all of that, these kind of medical service "revelations" serve to tell me that the health services and the government and all associated bodies simply can not be trusted.
If they are willing to spend £millions and countless amounts of effort pushing useless snake oil Flu Vaccines onto vulnerable, uninformed or naïve people then what kind of people are they?
If they were willing to stuff people's teeth with mercury amalgam (mercury being one of the most toxic and dangerous substances o the body) then what kind of people are they?
So if they have been willing to encourage, if not outright pressurise women to go for regular mammograms to get their breasts compressed and irradiated and all for no good reason given the results are wholly unreliable, then again, what kind of people are these?
The answer is that they are wicked, greedy, power-mad megalomaniacs who care not one jot for human life and people's health and see it only as a passport to huge profits.
It took me some time to understand, realise and accept the sheer magnitude of that awful situation and a lot of research to pick out the truth. We are all in a very precarious position. It's one thing for corrupt mafia like moguls to rip us off with our savings, our pensions, our assets and so on but another entirely to attack our health for profit.
Our very survival is now dependent on us as individuals waking up to this reality and stepping back and changing our mind sets.
We are no longer in an era where you can be uninformed and just walk into your GP's clinic to ask them what's up with you. If we do that we are simply walking into a crocodile's mouth. We are engaging with a fraudulent health service that exists for profit and which, just like a crooked motor mechanic will lift the bonnet, shake its head and say "ooooh dear Mrs Miggins, we have quite a few problems here don't we ?!"
All this being the case we have to pass on whatever info we all discover in the health and medication world, the better to keep people informed and always, always with the primary intention of making people THINK and do their own research.
