Wow.”
Considering how much of what is passed of as "facts" by medical experts turns out to be incorrect or biased it is little wonder they aren't trusted.
For years people were told to cut down on butter and switch to "healthier" margerine because research conducted by medical experts came to that conclusion.
It was only years later the it was discovered research had actually been funded by the margerine industry to promote the switch to margerine. Vested self-interest.
The new government guidelines on recommended weekly alcohol consumption were derived in the same way. Not on facts, they were ignored, but the same vested self-interest.

Everybody contributes a little, that is how it works. In that respect it is little different to any insurance.
