I Am against mass medication especially when there is a huge profit to be made by drug companies and other interested parties.
How many times have Doctors prescribed pills with re assurances that they are harmless or the better of two evils only to find a few years later that they cause terrible damage?
Sleeping pills are one example.
Ok if you have serious problems then yes the better of two evils comes into play but it worries me when some new money making drug is being pushed towards the over 50s many of whom are healthy individuals but the potential market is massive!
Statins are one drug which have a lot of adverse publicity and no smoke without fire?
