Apparently doctors get a free pass for conveying misinformation because... they're doctors?
That is mindless, faux "intellectualism" at it's finest.
Yes, apparently you can still find a "doctor" who will insist getting #covid yields some sort of magical #immunity - with no consequences.
But here's the thing: while I despise these grifter idiots, the real blame lies on the #medical community. Because to this day hardly any are taking a conservative stance during a #pandemic, and most are now acting cavalier. While simultaneously getting reinfected while their coworkers continue to get reinfected.
Staying quiet while people work around #cancer patients or the elderly, with no masks. Or even outwardly flaunting no vaccination, or concern for symptoms.
Indicating a true lack of understanding of statistics or virology. Alternately, revealing sociopathy, which may be an advantage in their field?
People viewed as authorities *DID NOT, AND DO NOT* take any stand on preventative measures, or urging caution anymore beyond the minimum.
They did not speak up when charlatan "doctors" insisted things that defied reason. The snake oil salesmen, the grifters were naturally louder. But met no *official* resistance.
The CDC maintained the barest minimum of advisement. The media talking heads never stressed any real concern. None critical of the charlatans who shouldn't be practicing "medicine".
Does anybody #mask in the medical community now?
There will be remarks in January "well, nobody could have seen another surge coming", "we thought it was over", etc. etc..
It's either incompetence, grifting, or sociopathy. There are no excuses at this point. I don't blame 45, Biden, dr. Shi or WIV:
medical authorities have not played their roles.
In the U.S. >2,000 dead a week, "officially" 500,000 cases a week, and we know #China is opening borders Jan. 6. Long covid known as a real phenomena, no consideration for the elderly or >40% comorbid. "It's mild, I feel fine now".
2,000 every week end up not feeling anything. 8,000 a month, 2,000 more than WW2.
... and people ignore it. Mass hypnosis.
BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE MEDICAL AUTHORITIES SHOW CONCERN.
No admonishment for reckless virus transmission, so criticism for moronic misinformation.
Incompetence, grifting or sociopathy.

"Does anybody #mask in the medical community now? "
Although our local hospital does require masking in any of their facilities (Dignity Health), my handy combo radiation/chemo/immunotherapy oncology place does not. Crazy, ain't it?
And although said hospital and associated offices do at least require masks, they no longer run a temp check when you walk in before letting you back into the area you need to go. 🙄
@AndyLowry .... and they understand the risk at your oncology place, but ignore it.
