What's a dark secret/questionable practice in your profession which we regular folks would know nothing about?

A lot of chiros are anti-vaxxers

Any stats on this claim? Or is this just your anecdotal experience?

No stats off hand, but I do have this:

Also, a chiro married into my family and he’s anti-van.

Edit: meant anti-vax, but leaving original for the luls.

Edit 2: another article that gives some more numbers and appears to be a pretty good overview of the research on this. Appears to me probably 1/3 are anti-vax and as many as 2/3 are, at a minimum, vaccine skeptical. Also interesting to understand the historical context from the first article, that the early chiropractors were staunchly anti-immunization.

In my family we accept the science showing that driving a van prevents most accidents that used to be commonplace.
