Said he took the first Covid jab because he was in the Medical field and felt like it was taking one for the citizens, and likened it to when soldiers took a bullet in war. But said he wasn’t taking the second, third nor none after. She came home and talked about this to one of my “screaming liberal’ daughters, who said “I wished I’d never taken it either,”. It was the second time I’d heard her say she regretted it but this time they both discussed how they were afraid of what it’s gonna cost them health wise. (Have one other liberal daughter who has yet to admit it was a bad decision.) Liberal daughter mentioned how she’s been hearing a lot of regret on all internet connections. Said how some site she visits was saying it wasn’t even a vaccine because vaccines are supposed to do certain things and it didn’t do that. I didn’t intervene in the conversation as my voice tends to bring the TDS out in the liberal daughter and I wanted the red pill taking convo to continue.

It's disheartening to realize how many doctors are pretty brainless when it comes to confirming fundamentals, or listening to patient concerns. Unfortunately I think it's all too common in most every specialized field. Especially when "science" is involved.
As an electrical engineer I have never once questioned basic electrical theory. Of course I like to think that I wouldn't dismiss contradictory material out of hand, but who knows? So kudos to this doctor, it sounds like he learned to question pretty early on.
Electrical theory is a hard science.
You fuck up, you dead.
But the medical business follows "evidence-based medicine," which for the most part HAS NO EVIDENCE to support it.
They can screw up, over and over and over again, and as the customer gets sicker and sicker, they can just pretend that "nobody knows" why some people get sick.
These days, a medical degree is really nothing more than a more-respected liberal arts degree.
Yes, I agree. The hard sciences have reality built into them, as in, if your theory is wrong, it doesn't work. Or as you point out, you my die. It's self correcting in that sense. But if it weren't so clear cut, would I do any better than medical "professionals" at examining and questioning the foundations of what I have been taught and "know" to be true? I like to think so, which is maybe why I am not a doctor, but that may just be wishful thinking on my part.
But then again, maybe people who don't want to be held accountable go into fields where they are less likely to be challenged by reality.
I went to a university in the 90s with a large medical training campus, and associated hospital, so many of my friends were medical students. There was a lot of hard partying - and the medic student contingent were the hardest partiers. Seemed the main technique for passing exams was “cramming” - locked away a week before exams, memorising that term’s content, scraping through the exams by the skin of the teeth. Years after graduating, I was in touch with several and still the hard partying continued, two were even struck off (alcoholism and sex pesting) or the partying had slowed down to chronic weed habits. Any notion that these people are the cream of society and models of sobriety and composure was long ago demolished for me, as I saw them to be just as flawed, vice-ridden and self-destructive as anyone could be.
My how times have changed. Med types I knew where coming up in the 70s when mostly serious people, and draft dodgers went to college.
I went out with a medical student many years ago, and I can very much confirm the hard partying and cramming approach her and her friend used to get through. Her friend would frequently kiss me while she was drunk. I’m pretty sure in retrospect it would have been some sort of Commie polyamorous situationship, as the girl I dated didn’t seem to care. I saw her on tinder again this year. She is now specifically an abortion doctor, married, but still looking for people on Tinder.
So yeah.. that’s my experience with medical students. Kind of fun, a whole lot of self centered shit.
