The “emotional” response you cited is on the part of those lining up to take a medication with unknown long term effects, questionable efficacy, & only emergency use authorization. Sounds more emotional and less rational to me.

And please do continue to play the “I’m a doctor so I’m smarter than you” card. That sort of arrogance does well for your credibility. Just because I’m a nurse, I can still read. Besides, there are lots of physicians and nurses who agree with me.

First of all you lead off by insulting me. So any rejoinder is fair game

Secondly your argument that many doctors agree with you is specious. There are many doctors and nurses that support abortion. Does that make it correct? Pointing to group think is perfectly reasonable but still does not make the argument factual.

Thirdly I have 8 more years of training than you do based on what you have said. I never said smarter but my degree has deeper understanding and far more time involved.

What is your masters of nursing in. I assume you are representing your self at an APRN. However there are masters of nursing in education and administration as well. Understanding your line of education and work may help to establish your this far relatively unsupported claims.

I'm old enough to remember when back in the 60's it was standard medical practice to prescribe amphetamines for weight loss. There was certainly a lot of bad side-effects from that practice including drug addition.

This was also the very same time where the same professionals considered sugar to be just as good as any other food. "A calorie is a calorie". Turns out a sugar company lobby funded a Harvard study which pitched the idea of sugar is good and fat is bad. The study was little more than a combination of a bribe and PR wrapped up in an illusion of scientific study, but it became medical gospel for decades.
