A pervasive agenda spreading through the medical profession at a viral pace is in and of itself a disturbing trend.

It took an injunction by a federal district court to partially prevent the Biden administration from using the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act to force emergency room doctors to perform elective abortions regardless of religious beliefs or conscientious objection.

In the case of stupid students, all the Marxists had to do was fill empty minds with collectivist ideology.
However, in the case of medical students, they had to override an existing set of beliefs and work ethic that had propelled these students to the top of their respective classes.
It’s too late to save it. Like other socialist countries, healthcare is now here to kill opposition. You would be shocked to hear your moms sweet nurse and almost everyone else is consistently having chats about letting the unvaccinated go without care, and let them die.
85% of Americans complied. That is holocaust level obey without question.
