Would add that the fight should include not just political but also "health care." If this wasn't a wakeup call that many (most?) providers dole out treatments that result in higher financial benefit for the beast, not better health outcomes for the patient, than we as a species are toast.

For all of you who still "trust" your doctor to make the right decision, remember how many of them refused to offer early treatment for a virus and were first in line for an experimental drug.
Just as politicians are willing to throw their constituents in the gulag, until the possibility their future may include a noose, the same weak human character flaws are found in medical professionals.
Yep. I'm sure I'm not the only conventional, middle of the road person who's ended up thinking, "Hey, maybe those hippies and alternative medicine folks had a point?"
Amen! Sounds exactly like my *former* PCP. 21 months in, refusal to treat but she was first in line to get the jabs and was still double masking afterward. Insane.
Yep. I rarely go to the Dr these days. Last time I did, he was still wearing a mask and made me wear one. That ended it for me.
That was just the last of a series of events that totally put me off doctors. I don’t think it’s just coincidence that I seem to have had such a long series of quacks and muppets.
The hospitals, especially the corporate ones, were put into a corner by government banning all of their normal business (preventative, elective) and then incentivizing finding COVID and treating it the wrong way. Schreibtischtater!
I worked for one of the largest hospital systems during SARS (managed UC). The people who occupy management positions have the same level of "competence" as exhibited by CDC and other bureaucrats.
They weren't put into a corner, they willing ran to the corner because they didn't know what to do and needed someone to "show leadership" (while also providing cover).
You know why flu vaccines are mandatory? It isn't because of effectiveness, it was because it was a financial losing proposition.
Big pharma made clinics order the vaccines in advance, once the order was in they could INCREASE but not DECREASE the order. Once the vials were received, there was no refunds if unused. Add to that, most office personnel did not get vaccinated as we all saw the patients return within 10 days, sick. Usage started dropping as patients saw the same pattern.
Enter the medical industrial complex's marketing departments who decided that by making the vaccine mandatory for staff, it will nudge up the compliance of the patients. Win-win as all vaccines bought will be injected (and paid for) and look at that, office visits post vaccination will increase due to illness.
Sorry, been in too many marketing meetings with head honchos to give them any cover.

You definitely are not! I now know what the label "Functional Medical Doctor" means, and more importantly, plan to see one...tie-dye T-shirt and all.

Thanks for that firsthand experience. Those of us who are cynical already appreciate knowing there's a reason for it!
