Thanks for your input. I know it is simplifying things but I can honestly state that if, for example, I was in the police force, I would not be complying with illegal orders and absolutely would have quit by now.
Financial concerns are secondary and there is always other work out there where you are not violating your Hippocratic oath.
It ultimately is a fairly black and white choice, to violate your Hippocratic oath or not to. As far as family goes, stockpile invermectin and have the courage to leave your chosen field until this disgusting little period of history is over. I did.
You sound awake and KNOWINGLY participating in this is not where I would want to be when the music stops.
You are most welcome fren. What you say is all too real and true. I have been backing out for some time and making adjustments to my life. It is actually quite liberating to realize I can get by with less and I don't really miss it. Trying to just duck and cover is not working any more. And you are right, I never have, and I never will KNOWINGLY jeopardize the wellbeing of a patient. However, the community I am in has a vitriol wokeism like I have never seen before. People I though I knew have turned into strangers.
This is all so ironic because I just made my last payment on my student loans. That will at least be one payment I don't have to worry about anymore. I keep thinking that at some point in the future my services will be needed in some capacity so I will keep up with my licensing - if I am able. If they ever make vaxines a condition for holding a license then I am screwed. I have learned a lot over the years and helped many people that others wrote off. I have heard it said that if you save one person, you have saved the world. I would like to think that I have. Take care Patriot.
I am sorry to hear all this but when the dust settles you will know that you are virtuous and that your Hippocratic oath actually meant something and was not just some sort of mantra like autonomous droning. You should be prepared to pivot right back to work after this, the second you are actually able to once again "do no harm".
Personally, I don't think you have long to wait and the pendulum swing is going to be of the highest possible amplitude.
Even if it is a drop in the ocean, thanks for humanizing that which has become completely dehumanized. The "own-goal" of the medical establishment is extraordinary.

Good luck with your choice.

Thank you. Your kind words are greatly appreciated.
