Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. There's still plenty of excellent science being done every day; it's just not being written about in outlets like vox.com. The solution to the problems you cite is more and better science.

Even more, it's only now that we're seeing some people apply a rigorous scientific and statical lens to medicine as a whole, A good portion of that fifty or whatever percent of procedures that don't any backing evidence exist through being grandfathered-in from the medical tradition. Beyond the germ theory of disease, medicine circa 1900 was appalling in multiple ways. Medicine continually advances, at least in parts. Hopefully that advance can continue against the grain of multitude of problems we see.
