what led me to believe that was engaging them in conversations and their collective reactions to me (a non-doctor) questioning them on their assertions… It pissed them off that I was asking questions they couldn’t answer - and it pains them to admit we know about the same level of info, yet they are a medical doctor and I am not…
Much of the stuff I tell my MDs they have not heard. One was the Shingles vaccination causing a higher incidents of Guillain-Barre. Or the Cell.com study about natural immunity. Or any of the foreign eminently qualified researchers who are anti-vaccines of a Covid nature. Or Fauci email saying masks were useless. Or Sweden.

This fact is what has bothered the ever-living shit out of me for a while now. It poses the question - is this intentional or is it ignorance? The net effect for me is realizing that most of these doctors aren’t really critical thinkers at all - they just regurgitate “information” without really understanding it. It’s all about “practicing medicine” and less about “practicing tactics to preserve the health of the physical body” - hence the term, physician…

Recent justification for me on this: had to take my daughter to her pediatrician for her TDAP booster for school. The doc told me she was “due” for 2 other vaccines (HPV and meningitis). I refused those two and said I am only interested in the tetanus shot for her. Then I got this lecture on how these other ones could prevent cancers and help with the horrible and scary meningitis… I have no doubt his heart was in the right place, but I’m pretty confident my 12 year old isn’t having sex with and kissing a bunch of dudes just yet. She’s also extremely healthy, active, and doesn’t stuff her mouth with shit all day. To his credit, after his lecture he didn’t bring it up again.

From my layman’s perspective (also having friends and family who are family doctors, athletics teams doctors, etc), “medicine” today is a very strict and unwavering culture of compliance to claims from big pharma and academia. Free thinking is not encouraged and/or cultivated in that profession at the family care level. Strict compliance and parroting are encouraged and any disassociation with that by the patient is to be met with condescending lecture. Two out of three of my medical doctor friends actually think they are the authority on every conversational topic, by simple virtue of them being a “medical doctor”…

This COVID thing has very much reshaped my perspective on the profession. They are so self unaware what their behavior is doing to the trust of patients. People are rapidly losing faith in their “doctor”…. It’s nuts.
There are idiots in all walks of life.

When my first kid was born my wife and I were in the hospital overnight. The OB on call for her practice tried to send us home around 8am when her shift ended because the baby wasn’t coming. The nurse slow walked the paperwork because the baby was obviously coming and he was born around 10 am. Moron doctor would have had my wife having a baby at home or in the car.

10 years later my wife has a tumor in her salivary gland. We went to the chief head and neck surgeon (forget the exact title) at a big local hospital system. Dipshit cuts out a lymph node and leaves the tumor. Two weeks after surgery my wife thinks she feels another lump in the same area. We go back to dr dipshit, he feels the lump and says “oh I’m sure it’s another lymph node.” He didn’t order any follow up of any type. We didn’t believe him and she had more scans. Two radiologists (one from his hospital, one from Mayo) verify he did in fact not remove the tumor. She went to a guy at Mayo in Jacksonville who was awesome and did a fantastic job. Fortunately the tumor was benign but that also meant we couldn’t find a lawyer to sue dr dipshit because there was no permanent damage.

Just because somebody is educated doesn’t mean they are smart or good at their job.

Fwiw my wife passed away from bacterial meningitis, and the vaccine likely saved my daughter and me from the same fate. Day cares are cesspools.

I’ll never take a COVID shot but am thankful we had those vaccines.
Sorry to hear that and yes, proper vaccines can be lifesavers. Thus the ease at which they use this in the same guise. Sickening. Prayers to you friend.

walked in a Dicks sporting goods store this morning here in ATL and they had their signs up requiring facemasks...
I walked into 2 businesses yesterday here in Vegas. I believe they both had signs (probably to appease the city requirements), but I didn't wear a mask, and the neither did the employees. As of this past Friday, they reinstated the mask mandate.

That name is really familiar from 3-4 years ago. Like he was a whistleblower that was swept under the rug? Or maybe I am thinking of something that sounds close to “John here to help”. Anyone know more?
Remember the video of the Muslim dude in a rainbow colored Bisht? He was talking about the set up of ambassador Stephens IIRC. He was the interviewer I believe. But that Muslim guy was his contact.

Then you have us FSU fans who laugh at this conference BS. We stand alone and haave Dog stomped everybody from anywhere. FSU was the sec before the sec awas the sec. Conference cheering is gay period.
Yep, anyone, anywhere, unconquered. For many years it was FSU, Miami, or FU. National championship went through Florida. Pray for Bobby and his family🙏🏻

@Jayhox Do you have ears to the ground on KU joining the BT? Seems to be a lot of smoke.
The B1G has to make the first real move. Apparently ESPN is working behind the scenes to get either the B1G or the ACC to take DBU to help blow up the Big12 and avoid having to pay UT and OU’s Grant of Rights through 2025. DBU fits all of the B1G’s academic requirements and would be extremely valuable when the schools wrestle away the basketball tournament from the NCAA. We also just finished our first two years of streaming services (which is a key revenue source for the future) and proved to be very valuable. But until the B1G decides to make a move for the future, we are in waiting mode.

I have a couple of good sources who are pretty certain that when expansion decisions are made following the UT/OU move, DBU will be end up in either the B1G because it makes sense, or the ACC to create a basketball super conference version of the SEC football conference.

The BIG ain't making a move for Kansas, not with their complete shit football program.
