Man, if there's anything this pandemic has done it is to make me want to avoid hospitals and doctors at all costs. No annual checkups, no medication when I'm old, etc. I'd rather die of a quick heart attack at 65 than be an invalid in one of these death traps at 75.

More and more I'm convinced hospitals are just scams that charge you huge sums to make you more sick/kill you. Need to learn aboriginal berry-based medicine or whatever.

Correct.

The word you're searching for is ethnopharmacology and it is a real thing.

ML below is also correct. Sometimes, surgery IS indicated. There is no way around it.

The best approach is to look after your own health, your most valuable possession. Eat healthily. Exercise like a madman - if you don't arrive home from your workout barely able to crawl across the threshold you didn't do it right.

And yeah, stay as far away as possible from the "sickcare" complex. Ask me how I know ...

"Iatrogenic Disease: The 3rd Most Fatal Disease in the USA"

"CDC - Iatrogenic deaths "disappeared" in 2020, COVID-19 took their place"

"Our projected statistic of 7.8 million iatrogenic deaths [over a 10-year period] is more than all the casualties from wars that America has fought in its entire history... a total of 164 million people, approximately 56% of the population of the United States, have been treated unnecessarily by the medical industry — in other words, nearly 50,000 people per day"

Is it too late for Putin to retire and Lukashenko to take the helm of the Union State?

Luka is losing the war against coronamania as well. Has already made a number of concessions. I don't believe he can be bought, but like anyone else, he can be squeezed.
