Oh, but she's the head of the CDC. So by your definition, she's not a real doctor. Shucks.
(brightens)
So that means we shouldn't have listened to ANY of the government hoopola, right?
Like closing down the country for nothing, while seeding COVID patients into nursing homes full of vulnerable elderly to goose the numbers...
Let's see.
The virus mutated to escape some of the immunity provided by the vaccines but the vaccines are still very effective in preventing hospitalizations and death.
Because of this nothing our public health officials have said is valid.
That's a very solid, well thought out point (for an anti-vaxer).
Correct
Few of us physicians supported the shut down … it was ridiculous. The nursing home issues were also political calls. And completely incorrect.
The head of the CDC has not stood at bedside in an eon. Generally those are research MDs and have little clinical experience.
And again, epidemiologists are not physicians.
The majority of what you point out is political and political calculus. There was a lot of other issues that were equally as political on the other side.
Most of us clinicians were stuck in the middle of waring factions.
