It's an interesting take. I've wondered this about our family's former pediatrician. He happily vaccinated our kids, following the established regiment, when they were smaller. He spoke highly of vaccines at the time.
Last time we saw him he had decided to tailor his practice to off-label prescriptions(think, want some ivermectin? We can get that for you!) and "doesn't do" vaccinations of *any kind* anymore. I've often wondered if this was a belief, or a business decision.
He was always a deeply religious man, so I've never been able to figure out if it was a business decision, seeing that about 70% of the locals voted for Trump, or if he belongs to one of the local anti-vaxx churches and they changed his mind on his practice.
@BE @mloxton There have definitely been high-profile cases of doctors willing to swallow (and peddle) the Trumpian BS, haven't there? I think of Ronnie Jackson and the absurd check-up report he provided Trump with. And there was Stella Immanuel and her off-the-wall claims about COVID and cures, all laced with toxic religious ideology. In my state of Arkansas, there was the case of Robert Karas, who treated COVID patients who were inmates with ivermectin without their consent, allegedly.
