There is admittedly significant grey area in the medical field between medical and practitioners like massage therapists and chiropractors, but Naturopaths are firmly outside the medical realm for me.

While I agree that for the most part it's snake oil, though many would disagree with that, but technically and legally they're still "doctors" and have similar training.
Either way, though, for those that swear by ND and chiro's and those belonging to the teachers union, we still have a gap of unvaccinated.
What is worrying is that potentially we'll need boosters or perhaps even new vaccines, as it appears covid-19 won't be going away as more breakthrough cases occur. This is an issue. It's an issue for those that aren't anti-vaxxers, but have a real fear of needles (such as my daughter) and it takes everything for them to get a shot, this is bad news. It's also bad because of those anti-vaxxers, who will continue to spread the virus, along with those vaccinated, like, do we want another lockdown? I don't think we'll go back there, but I don't see us getting out of the woods anytime soon, even with vaccines, lockdowns, masking and social distancing.
Not spreading fear, just keeping on top of news.
