First I don’t think k my profession lied about much. I think people didn’t want to hear what was being said and as such made political hay out of something apolitical.

Well, you would be wrong. Your profession, as a whole, either lied, or was complicate in the government lying. You can sugar coat the money the government paid out for COVID diagnoses all you want. Simple fact is that many hospitals ignored a plethora of alternatives and stuck strictly with what the government dictated in order to get paid. Don't assume that just because you are a doctor that you are the only person in the room that knows how hospitals, and more specifically hospital admins, operate. People like me may not be doctors; we do have extensive professional experience and exposure with how the medical industry, specifically hospitals and medical software development in my case, operates.

I'm not conflating anything. When hospitals and doctors toe the government line in order to either get paid, or keep their certifications, they ARE one in the same for all practical purposes. The "truth" is that while state governments were sticking COVID patients in to nursing home, the medical industry was quiet. The CDC lied to people about PPE. Go ahead, lecture the guy that ran the technical side of fit testing and assisted in administering it for over a decade at a major Lvl 1 Trauma center, as well as having to work in areas where it was required how PPE works. Then post the letter you have written to the manufacturers admonishing them for stating, right on the box, how surgical masks don't work the way the CDC says they do. It has changed definitions, multiple times, in order to fit it's narrative. Go ahead and tell me it hasn't. Finally, it has quietly rolled out advisories that contradict what it stated in the past. All the while all but a handful of doctors and hospital administrators kept their mouths shut.

People deserved more and better from your profession as a whole, and they were failed miserably. It is culpable. In closing, you, sir, are just as culpable in the same way as the "good" FBI agents Hannity is always telling us about.

Well. That’s a bit of a stretch.
I know how hospital admins work as well. Having worked in one i well understand that side is the table. You really don’t understand the payment system and how and what was applied. There are still people running around saying there was higher payment for using versed. I took a deep dive through r the payment rules. That is an abject lie. There is more payment for vented patients as a function of DRG which is true for every DRG. It doesn’t mean we three people on vents for S and G.

As for the remainder id your screed. Fine. Since you appear to work in software, then are also culpable for every bug in every system and every crash everywhere. You see, you too are like the good FBI agents just like Hannity said. Just playing by your rules, sport.

The fact is you made quite a lot of bad and flaws assumptions in your rant that are either incorrect or Intentional misdirection. You are just plain wrong. Where you will admit it or not.
