To be fair, a lot of those critical thinkers in the medical profession were censored the last few years. I personally know a few in my province who had their practicing licenses suspended for a period of time, and others who received warning letters, including myself - I am currently having my active practice license "investigated."jonnyfrank wrote: ↑Wed Feb 22, 2023 12:52 pm So much wasted mental horsepower goes into the medical and legal professions. The vast majority of M.D.s I know are shills for big pharma and they rarely question anything. Where is the critical thinking among these "do no harm" hypocrites?
It's a long process, and not a big deal in my case, since I stopped practicing medicine for money at the end of 2019. I kept the license active as an insurance policy of sorts, in case I ever need to go back (to Hell).
But more to your point, what generally happens to a lot of MDs (Many Dumbfounded) and PhDs (Permanent Head Damage):
It used to be pretty hard and quite a long road to getting into medical school, going through the four years of medical school, followed by 2-5 years of residency (depending on specialty) and often additional years of fellowship training, etc.
Basically this takes up all of your 20s and a big portion of your 30s - your best years, in some ways - so while others in other professions are partying, having fun, sleeping around, and/or transitioning into different genders, most of us in medicine were working inhumane hours while also having to study, almost always sleep-deprived, living in debt on a tiny budget.
At the end of this long road, many of us have significant debt, so we want to start working long hours to pay off the debt and "catch up" a bit to others in other professions - buying houses, having children ... even having fun ... all the stuff that we missed out somewhat during all those years of medical training.
Basically, most of us by that point are too tired and busy to question what the medical "experts" like Fauci, et. al. are espousing. The medical regulating bodies also keep sending out "guidelines" about what MDs should be doing, etc. - if you go against them you will get patient complaints, potential lawsuits, and at least heavily reprimanded.
No mainstream MD wants to be called an "anti-vaxxer," as I am sure you know. The media has built up the image of an anti-vaxxer as some crazy dude who believes that Jesus was taught by aliens, etc.
Most practicing MDs just want to work hard, make a decent living helping their patients, and not get sued too frequently.
A PhD is someone who learns more and more about less and less, until she finally knows everything about nothing.
