My doctor (PCP) would throw my info in the trash and tell me, like she did recently, that I should in stead read stuff by scientists. My cardiologist told me masks are useful because maybe they don't stop corona but they DO stop THE FLU. He knows this because the recent winter when people were all wearing masks, there was covid BUT there was no flu. Gotta love those Scientific types.

I had similar experiences.

My friend who is a pharmacist used the exact same argument about the masks. Masks work because there was no flu last year.

One of my MD friend told me that she knew that the masks were useless but she wore them to show others that she cared for them and I should’ve too. She rather didn’t go hiking with me any longer because I refused to wear a mask. Outside no less!

Another friend, also MD told me that she lost all her respect for those physicians who spoke out against any of the Covid measures, like lockdowns, masking and vaccines. She told me that the reason why we couldn’t stop Covid was because many people refused to get the vaccines! And she still believes it!

It’s seriously crazy how many healthcare professionals and scientists STILL believe that the vaccines work, masks work, lockdowns work but the problem is the people who disobey them 🙄.

They have been trained to follow the science and evidence based medicine and listen to the big wigs . Since many are in mass psychosis they are not able to comprehend that they could have been lied to . They are not aware that evidence can be bought and that the internet search algorithms makes it very difficult to find the truth . Many are not using critical thinking skills and doing a deep dive research... then even if they do start to have seeds of doubt they go discuss with a doctor from so called prestigious institution who right away dismisses their doubt. They are not able to see that the death rates from covid dropped right before the rollout of the vaccines . The death rates started to drop once the use of steroids was added to the mainstream protocols in June 2020 . From March thru June 2020, streroids were not widely adopted on the protocols so many ICU patients ended up on ventilators and dying . The use of steroids when oxygen levels started to decline prevented the pts from going on a ventilator. Ventilator was not the correct treatment for this virus and led to many deaths . Lack of early outpatient treatments led to deaths. Herd immunity and the virus mutating to become less deadly ( though more transmissible) all helped . So it’s not the vaccine that led to lower deaths but sadly many will not understand or acknowledge this truth .

Unlikely your PCP read any scientific literature. Most only read professional journals. It's not the same thing.
