I had absolutely zero reason to mistrust either before 2020 and assumed they were non-political, reliable sources of public health. Now I don’t trust either one whatsoever and won’t ever care the rest of my life what they say, about anything. They have completely lost my trust. Maybe it would be possible in decades if there’s a Nuremberg type of trial and we can hang about 10,000 of these low life liars for crimes against humanity and then implement a new set of restrictions on what they can and cannot do, perhaps at that point it’s possible trust could be re-established. Short of that, not happening.

Yes . I didn't have a lot of faith in them to start with though either.

So do conservatives feel like they should be encouraging more conservatives to be doctors.

There seems to be this feeling that the medical industry is all liberal. Wonder why that is?

I don't know if I have more or less confidence. I tend to rely on my personal doctor, and reading a variety of medical statements on issues.

Not sure either of those agencies was my go to.

This shouldn't be a political issue. Doctors shouldn't base their decisions on if they're Republican or Democrat. They should base it on science and medicine. That's not what's happening here. We no longer have science, medicine, or free thought in this country. A Doc recommends Ivermectin over the vaccine on Youtube, he can lose his position.

Yes.

Dr. Fauci takes 5000 iu of Vitamin D a day. The average person won't take that much unless they are 'in the know' about D. Fauci also does about a hundred appearances a day. If he told the American public to take that much D in every one of his appearances from Feb. 2020 onward, we'd all have really good levels now. The infections, hospitalizations, and mortality of Covid would be significantly decreased. The data is pretty clear on that.

It probably wouldn't have affected the first wave, but would have left us in much better shape for the Delta. It would have alleviated fear and provided hope. The agencies and their media puppets were more interested in promoting fear and hopelessness. Shameful.

Also, the VAERS system is a joke. If they are going to roll out a new technology on the entire population, they should have had a rigorous tracking system for deaths and adverse events already in place, with transparent updates to the public.

I never had faith but this thing was completely bad and it isn't getting better. We are on our own.. I just hope the lemmings that pay for their services keep doing so -- so I can sit over here doing what is best for me and they won't tie me down and make me take their poisons.
