They HAVE to post that disclaimer, or they would be liable for all sorts of legal trouble.
The fact remains, this is posted for all to see (as well as re-posted frequently on this board), and folks either don't trust doctors, or will self-treat because they don't have insurance, etc., etc. Witness the stampede to take horse paste. I would guess there aren't many medical professionals seeking advice for their practice on GAW.
Saying that this is meant for medical professionals, who, for the most part, were the ones pressuring patients to take the vaxx in the first place, is not recognizing the mind-set of people who will read this and perhaps act on its recommendations themselves.
I suppose one might try to set up a tele-visit with Front Line Doctors, but I understand that doesn't yield very satisfactory results.
What's the problem with a stampede to take horse paste? You think there's something wrong with apple flavored ivermectin or something?
By all means, address your concerns with information and how it's presented, but it sounds to me like you need to separate your emotions from your analysis and realize people are responsible for their own choices.
I was being a bit facetious about all the folks self-diagnosing and taking horse paste needlessly. In the absence of legitimate ivermectin, horse pasts is fine, but when people self-diagnose symptoms (not so much a problem with ivermectin, admittedly), it could potentially be a problem.
How am I being emotional, now? All I did was post an opinion, and perhaps a couple facts, and now, ten posts later, I'm still being challenged for a simple opinion. What's wrong with providing a counterpoint? Everyone acts so offended...

In other words, the facts don't take your feelings about people who can't read a disclaimer into account and this is why that's bad.
Nothing wrong with empathy for others. However, your emotions are clouding your thinking.
An easier way to accomplish what appears to be your goal in posting paragraphs upon paragraphs and multiple replies?
"Don't ignore this disclaimer. Make sure to find and work with a good doctor if you're experiencing these issues, particularly if you had a pre-existing auto-immune disease." My guess is you would have got nothing but upvotes.
Also, keep in mind the majority of people here aren't even vaccinated unless they're lying about their status.
I still don't see your claim about me being emotional. In no manner have I expressed any personal "feelings," with the exception of some personal anecdotes to assist in describing a point. Being predictive is emotional? Whatever you say...
If I did as you suggest, there would be no need for a discussion board. Discussion helps bring points together such that folks can think issues through. Sounds like a form of censorship to me, if you limit discussion.
