What a great quote. Similar somewhat to the observation in my tagline.

What we are talking about is “cognitive dissonance”:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance

If a doctor believed what the “experts” said early on and advised their patients to get the vaccine, any later information indicating dangers of the vaccine creates a major ethical problem for them.

Cognitive dissonance is their attempt to square the circle, to convince themselves that they are not really a stupid or bad person.

That means that any evidence of their earlier negligence must be rejected out of hand.
