Yes, the medical institutions were the most disappointing of our leaders.
Politicians who were awful I at least understood had terrible agendas they wanted to advance. Or feared loss of rank/position if they questioned.
Medical researchers, doctors, nurses, admins? Their main objective is supposed to be legit health care. Try getting an artificial sweetener or a protocol on the market. Apple Watch got in trouble for having sleep and respiration apps on it, didn’t it? Not approved medical devices.
Yet they almost in unison jumped into this pool of insanity and doubled down when challenged. No empirical evidence, plenty of actual facts to the contrary, no double blind studies or long term testing. . .
the only thing I could have approved of was having it approved as experimental and totally voluntary for any adults that wanted to participate. No kids.
Kids don’t get the virus.
The ‘rona flies at an altitude of 5-7 feet above ground.
Kids are too short to encounter it.
Adults can take their masks off when sitting to eat; their heads are then safely below the 5 foot level.
The “authorities” said so.
Sarcasm, of course.
