I 100% sympathize with you. I have been in a similar but much less consequential situation at my hospital - talking to people about mild concerns about the vaccines is fraught with danger and threats of loss of a job. Being truly open and honest about it? It is not possible.
The ONLY group that can turn this situation around is physicians. The rest of us can help but if we are to get out of this, it rests on physicians.
I have no idea what will happen in the future but I guarantee one thing:
I will be making it very clear to all doctors who take care of me in the future that my faith in health care is gone. It is at zero. And it is because:
1. No support of informed consent long after it was glaringly apparent transmission was not prevented
2. We stood by silently when people were bribed with donuts in exchange for injecting something in their body when we knew damn well the effects of obesity on those who contracted Covid
3. When the FDA went to court and asked for 75 years to release the data it said it reviewed exhaustively in ~ 3 months prior to approving the vaccines, NOT A SINGLE DOCTOR, not a single nurse, not a single major medical organization uttered a peep in protest.
I have loved working closely with the doctors in my career but I will never look at our professions the same way and I am just being honest here - I am done with doctors. Done. All of us but especially the doctors had a DUTY to protect patients and the informed consent. They failed and became indistinguishable from Pfizer drug sales reps.
You get it. You understand what is at stake. But your colleagues need to understand that they are playing with fire. They are not going to emerge from this catastrophe and pick back up where they were back in Jan. 2020.
Wow, you are spot-on. Within my immediate family, we have all expressed a complete loss of confidence in the medical industry. My daughter said her new go-to question for evaluating a physician would be, "Do you recommend the COVID vax?" and then seeing how informed and honest he/she was about it. Good test! And we're scared to death of hospitals now. Too many stories of patients being refused early treatment, put on vents, and then families trying to get them Ivermectin, and the hospital refuses the treatment, won't release the patient, won't allow another doc to prescribe. They are fighting tooth-and-nail in court to let patients DIE! When was this ever a thing in the US?

It’s different now.
