I'm not an MD, but I've heard from some MDs in the past that the extent of vaccine education in medical school is not much more than learning the vaccine schedule and for what disease. There is almost nothing taught about the data and science.

What you have heard is absolutely true. As I mentioned in another post, I taught in a medical school for more than 34 years. I am ashamed of the way medical education has become. I tried to teach my students to be critical thinkers, but they are spoon-fed to become "guideline followers". They learn the current "guidelines for vaccinations" and follow them as the gospel.
Over the years, I saw first hand that doctors are not very good diagnosticians. I had to deal with several medical issues with both my kids as well as myself. I had to do the research myself and figure out solutions, which I then took to the doctors in order to get certain prescriptions when needed. To my main doctor's credit, he readily admitted to me that "well, you know more about this than I do." But shamefully, he (and others too) didn't go further and do research about the issue. Since those years, I've come to feel that I'm mostly on my own to deal with medical things. I can't depend on anyone.

Absolutely true. Medicine is all about applying approved protocols.

Yes, that’s exactly what I’ve heard.
The reason why has become obvious to many of us.
