I attempted to have this conversation with one of my best friends who is an infectious disease doctor at the Houston hospital that's been in the news quite a bit the past couple of years for mandating the jab. 30+ year friendship. I stood in his wedding and he stood in mine kind of thing. High school. College roommates. Brothers from another mother.
Last week when the news broke about Dr. Mary Bowden rejecting the Texas Medical Boards "punishment" they tried to levy against her, I finally broke the ice on the subject with him. He called her a quack who was promoting unproven methods
Wanting to get a baseline understanding for what a quack doctor is in his eyes, I asked if Fauci, Birx and Wolensky fit the definition. The conversation went south quickly. He had no leg to stand on except calling Bowden a quack and telling me he knows what he's talking about because it's science and that's kind of his thing. Sound familiar?
I told him that if Bowden is a quack, then Fauci is evil. That was the end of the conversation. Not sure I'll ever speak with him again he is so dug into the propaganda.
Interesting side note, given I've always had an interest in geopolitics, I heard about the China virus in late 2019 well before most people had. I reached out to him about it, asking if I should be concerned. He howled laughing at me and asked if I had survived the bird and swine flu scares, completely diminishing what I was asking him about. Then the propaganda took hold. About 3 weeks later I got a text from him in a full body hazmat suit at the hospital telling me not to leave my house until I heard more details from him regarding what this virus was all about. The propaganda grabbed him and sucked him in and I'm afraid I'm losing a cherished friendship over the Wuhan Flu. It sucks.
