The old days of trusting the smart man in the white coat are now gone forever. Those days died from VAXXX complications.

My doctor, who is far from woke, who never even mentioned the jab to me or my wife, and who is always willing to talk with me about alternative treatments for anything, told me recently that after prescribing Ivermectin once, he "got into trouble" with state regulators and medical boards and it was made clear to him that if he did that again he might lose his license to practice. This is in a Blue state (with a largely Red population, but that's mail-in-voting for you), and even in Red states I hear that can happen.

This was the maid reason behind consolidating all industry. Top down control. Thank goodness for independent pharmacies.
