I think any doctor that spoke out against covid was put on the $hitlist
Medicine is about science, and when someone who works in the medical field as a
doctor (of all things) suddenly decide that science isn't their thing for whatever whackadoodle reason, well yeah, they are kinda shunned. If they continue to the point of spreading misinformation, lies, or suggesting untested, unproven, and in many cases unsafe treatment paths instead, yeah, they can very well lose their license over it. And they should - you don't get to work in a field where science is literally at the root of everything you learned and upheld to practice, and then decide to go against all that because of "some person on YouTube", or "the feelz".
The science was clear that the Covid shot saved lives. Since I was in a high risk group for ending up on a ventilator had I got it in the early days,
it might very well have saved mine.
I spent several years working in insane high risk environments for covid spread and magically never got it. So yeah, I'll go out on a limb and say it worked perfectly for me as well as every other family member and friend i know who got it. It almost certainly saved the life of an elderly >80YO relative in a nursing home who *did* catch it but came through it pretty well despite high mortality in that group. Only months before she lived in the Bobcaygeon nursing home that was
decimated by the first wave of Covid with almost half it's residents (and one staff member) dying.
Are there some who had side effects? Sure. No medication is perfectly safe, and vaccines are no different. But the percentages are tiny.
Aspirin causes over 15,000 deaths a year in the USA because of adverse effects that lead to GI bleeding. Aspirin can also cause Reye’s syndrome which used to have a mortality rate of up to 40%. But, countless other billions of people derive important positive effects from Aspirin, from as simple as effective pain control but also including saving people in incipient strokes from experiencing (or reducing) life altering reactions afterwards due to how it works. So, accordingly, should we ban Aspirin, or should we accept that it does lots of great things and saves lives in many circumstances, despite a small segment of society having very serious reactions to it?
BTW, I had an antivax (trump lover) online friend who got covid and died. Here's his second last ever (ironic) FB update he posted just days before he went into the hospital and never came out. His last ever post was how he wanted out of his "communist" country because he was forced to wear a mask at the hospital.
It's still on his profile along with all the RIP's since. I'd share his profile except I'd dox myself doing it, but if anyones questioning such....I can have someone here verify it.
