Yesterday I went to the local urgent care because I was experiencing flulike symptoms. Of course they tested for COVID, as well as strep and something else. While the doctor was in the room with me, I asked if they'd been seeing a lot of COVID cases recently. She said yes. I said, really? More? She said yes, we're seeing more now. I asked her "how is that possible with all these vaccines going out?" And she said:
"The COVID vaccine isn't keeping people from getting COVID, it's just making it less likely that they die. We'll see what your results say, but I've just been telling people to take Zinc, Vitamin C and Calcium, and maybe take an antibiotic or something if this doesn't clear up in a day or two."
By the way, my results were strep and covid negative.
They know the talking points from their journals. Unfortunately, that’s how they are trained. Few actually ponder and apply critical thinking to these claims.
Ironic, if you think about it. Especially since doctors just 100-odd years ago were prescribing dangerously addictive opiates on the regular. Diseases were blamed on "bad air" and "ill humours". And before that your curative options were nasty potions, weird rituals, or just accept that you were going to die at the age of 30 after only just meeting your grandchild. Butchers were surgeons too, literally.
So basically, I can accept the idea of doctors not knowing everything. Plus, the influence of Big Pharma. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
