The year 2022 is likely to go down in history as the year we transitioned from the progressive era into a new liberal era that will be with us for a century or more. Pretty much every progressive era institution will come to an end during these years, starting with the institutions that have proven themselves most obviously harmful.
The failure of modern medicine to adequately test the COVID vaccine before its rollout is in this respect likely to be a driving force for change. If the current wave of excess deaths stay with us for years, or even decades, into the future, we'll have a constant reminder of the dangers of progressive policies in health.

This will foment a popular sentiment against any kind of modern medicine, and we'll see a new kind of medicine emerge over the years to come.
The medicines of the future are unlikely to be produced solely in sterile laboratory environments. Instead, they will increasingly be based on naturally available products. There will be a return to natural remedies, with a focus on what works, rather than what some specific mineral or enzyme seems to be doing with rat tissue when viewed under a microscope. The era of chemists walking around in white robes and doing strange stuff in laboratories is going to be replaced in large part by people trading ideas regarding stuff that works.
The new paradigm will focus on things that make us feel better. If something turns out to work for a specific ailment, that something will be listed as a remedy. The more people who swear to it, the more it will be accepted as a bona fide medicine. This is opposed to the progressive idea of having experts tell us what's good for us based on tests in laboratories, an idea that culminated in the disastrous handling of the virus scare of 2020 and 2021.
As an example of how new era medicine will work, I recently started taking a pinch of cumin seeds every day in order to help my digestion. This has turned out to work remarkably well. My digestion has not only improved, I feel generally better as well. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend this remedy to anyone prone to slow digestion.
This is a free market approach to medicine that will work well in the internet era. Everyone can voice their opinion on every ailment and related remedy, and we'll figure it out from there. The experts in white robes will be increasingly viewed with suspicion. Some will even call them quacks.
New era medicine will not concern itself much with vitamins, minerals and enzymes. It will instead focus on our general wellbeing. When it comes to food, we'll be told to focus on what tastes good and makes us feel good. Foods have to check both boxes in order to be considered healthy. Supplements and additives don't make crappy food healthy. Only good wholesome foods are health enhancing, and no amount of hocus pocus will change that.
The habit of sending blood and urine samples to medical labs will unwind too, because there's little real information to be found in this practice. What matters is not what's in these samples, but how we feel and what our lifestyle is. A lab cannot tell us any of this, but an honest talk with a new era physician will reveal all sorts of things that can be improved upon.
People live long and healthy lives, not because of the pills they ingest but because of the foods they eat and the lifestyles they live, and an honest and open discussion around this will produce better health effects than anything the progressive era has been able to come up with lately. In fact, the end of the progressive era is likely to go down in history as a period when life expectancy was reduced by quite a lot. The progressives may have had some good ideas to begin with, but they are now long overdue for a replacement.
