Do You Trust Your Doctor Anymore?
Epoch Times. ^ | December 30, 2021 | Roger L. Simon

Do you trust your doctor anymore? Honestly?

I don’t mean Dr. Anthony Fauci. How can anybody trust him, with all the prevarications, constant shifts in policy and deceptions, not to mention hiding American taxpayer support for gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Virology Lab and other aspects of the doctor’s dark past revealed in great detail in Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s book?

I’m talking about your own personal doctor, the man or woman who has been your friend and trusted counselor for years, maybe decades. How do you feel about that person? Has it changed?

What many are perceiving as a growing mistrust of physicians is one, among many, of the tragic fallouts of the pandemic.

How that happened is not that difficult to trace. But first I must briefly interrupt this column to say something related, since it concerns a doctor, I have said before, but has now reached a critical level: Get off Twitter if you are still on it. That the social media company banned Dr. Robert S Malone, one of the key developers of the mRNA “vaccines” and a leading figure in the discussion of the pandemic, is an example of censorship straight out of the Goebbels playbook with ramifications back to the treatment of Galileo. No one who considers him or herself a supporter of the First Amendment should countenance this “cancelation” or participate in this for one second. Get off Twitter already. No excuses.

Now back to the subject at hand. I was not talking about all doctors, obviously. Many are brave, not just the well known signers of the Great Barrington Declaration and other eminent physicians interviewed here at The Epoch Times, quite a few local doctors as well, including some who practice something known as “functional medicine.”

But the great masses of doctors have melted under the pressure of the government, following the party line on the pandemic. If you mention hydroxychlorquine and ivermectin or some other therapeutic or even, in some cases, the apparent superiority of natural immunity, they either don’t hear you or respond condescendingly, then point to the necessity of the vaccine.

At that moment, they are thinking of themselves, of their families, their incomes, their medical licenses, their relationship to their hospital or clinic, medical systems entirely dependent on cooperation, financially and legally, with the ever-changing diktats of the CDC and FDA.

Understandable, perhaps, but these doctors are, bluntly, acting cowardly and therefore earning our distrust. They probably know this and feel trapped, but that doesn’t excuse their behavior. Their occupation has been elevated almost beyond all others. They should act accordingly.

In particular, they should remember the obvious, what they were first taught, Hippocrates’ “First do no harm.” There’s a direct line from the ancient Greek to the vaccines. We don’t know the extent they “do no harm,” but it is looking worse.

Dr. Malone—that poor, banned fellow—argued that only those over 65 should consider it, because only at that advanced age do the benefits outweigh the risks.

And yet our government is recommending the vaccination of five-year-olds. Is your doctor going along with this? It’s hard to justify considering the absolutely minimal COVID risk to children. No one knows what the future will bring from this, but auguries are not good. We already know that masking these same children is causing all sorts of developmental deficits. They will haunt our society for years to come.

Meanwhile, many have seen the present from the inside and don’t want to talk. Among those who are talking are, interestingly, those lower down the medical totem pole than doctors—nurses. If you haven’t already, you can find extraordinary video testimonials to what is happening inside our hospitals on Gateway Pundit. It’s not fun, but I urge you to do so.

Sorry to be so depressing. Pointing out our alienation from our doctors—my father was one—is something I never dreamed I would be doing.

But there is a good side. Since government intervention in our healthcare has been so extreme for the last two years, we have, in essence, been living under a form of socialized medicine. (We have for a long time actually, but it has been taken to a new level.) We now have had a chance to evaluate this system, as they say, up close and personal.

I am willing to guess that most of us paying attention have come to the same conclusion about socialized medicine (maybe we did a long time ago but it’s been ratified by the pandemic)—it stinks!

Sadly, no.

When Fedzilla took over healthcare, it was inevitable.

Doctors don’t cure illness.
Police don’t protect and serve.

Last time I saw my doctor a couple of weeks ago he told me to take my mask off and Then he proceeded to tell me the evils of Dr. Fauci.

So yes I do trust him

Not since he tried to get me to take the vaccine. When I suggested I’d rather get Covid and have it treated with Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine he actually blushed and changed the subject. I realized there was something he wasn’t telling me. I have since learned from a nurse that something is, he’ll lose his insurance if he treats me in any way not cleared by the CDC. I went to Tractor Supply and bought ivermectin for horses. (Apple. Yum.) It’s graduated in fifty-pound increments. I did take it when I developed upper respiratory symptoms. Can’t say it was Covid...probably not. Symptoms went away rapidly, but there’s this old saying amongst real scientists (as opposed to the government kind. Correlation does not equal causation...so, probably a coincidence. But it didn’t hurt me and actually radically changed a gut problem I’ve had for decades. I’m much better there. (I really, really love looking at horse butts, though. Big. Round. Horse butts. Whew! Need a cold shower.)

I trust my doctors.

My BIL had open heart surgery. They wouldn’t give him a wheelchair for bathroom trip. He needed to walk.

Totally amazing what doctors can do.

I don’t. In fact, I don’t trust the American medical profession or big-pharma anymore either.

A family member is in the hospital with COVID. This afternoon I spoke to the nurse about the possibility of prescribing Ivermectin. She told me it was horse medicine. I immediately told her to stop listening to the propaganda and educated her. An hour or later I received a call back and she told me I was 100% correct. Do not trust any of them with your health.

I never have. Never will. They only know what they are told, if it came from CDC, FDA, NIH..etc...It’s likely bs and based on some swamp dwelling money making scam.
Can we say Naivete?
Oh and Stupiditeite?

No, after a consult with her 2 months ago to discuss a medical exemption, she made it pretty loud and clear that she doesn’t think outside the dictates of the alphabet fed agencies. I am presently shopping for one who thinks independently and who has my best interest at heart.
