It’s ok to ask him.
I’m in Oregon. The majority of doctors are in complete denial when the facts are right in front of them or just don’t want to talk about it.
I was talking with a doctor at church about the shots and he literally looked over his shoulder to see who was around and lowered his voice in his response.
What people around here call the Branch Covidians are every bit as bad as everyone says - bad attitude, bad motivation, some bad objectives, using the mantra "We went to Brown and you didn't", or worse, "You must be a Trump supporter".
All of that is true.
But, just like 100 coin flips that turn up heads does not change the 50:50 odds on flip #101, the COVID establishment is right about a lot of things. Their arrogance and their pride does not change the truth or falsity of any of their propositions, which, like everyone else's have to stand or fall on their own.
