I am deliberately choosing to tone down the criticism of the establishment. One of my goals on substack is to write pieces that can be shared with people who are not yet on our side. If they are written with the appropriate measure of condemnation of the "bad guys", they will come across to such individuals as highly inflammatory and uncredible.

Furthermore, my objective with this post is specifically to highlight how doctors when it comes to other things still follow the age old standard of "do something" and don't get nitpicky about the lack of available big, fat glorious RCT's.

I get the spirit of this. But as a former practicing MD, this was a case of:

1. Don’t just do something, stand there!

2. Because of Covid, doctors have shown that today, more than ever, they are owned by big pharma and the hospital system and given a choice between their livelihood and the lives of their patients, guess what they picked.
