Thanks for this report, in which extreme levels of pro COVID-19
quasi-vaccine groupthink are enforced by a substantial proportion of the
population, including, especially, a large subset of doctors.
By now, anyone with modest intelligence and a mature wariness of
trusting anyone or anything without good reason will have noticed that
most members of the medical profession are so closed in their thinking
and so insecure about their own professional status that they will not
even contemplate thinking about something which might cause them to
disagree with mainstream doctorly wisdom. This process does indeed
resemble a religion, or a cult, complete with Old Testament style
banishment to the wilderness for all those who question its veracity.
The general public should not have to think in depth about how much they
can trust their doctor, or doctors in general and so the medical and
nutrition advice handed down to doctors and the public by governments.
Unfortunately the public is easily swayed by modern medicine's many
wonders and blessings to think that all the rest of it is similarly
sophisticated and the result of scientific rigour. It is not. There
are vast areas of medicine where the conventional thinking is utterly
clueless regarding nutritional needs, and unable to find easy to
understand etiologies of health problems which are supposedly
unexplained (https://aminotheory.com/rlsd/briefsumm/ for Restless Legs
Syndrome, which is a real and very common neurological problem
originating in the spinal cord). The gap between the good and the bad
in mainstream medicine is vast, has many causes, and is extremely
perplexing. Virtually no-one - especially doctors - can imagine this
is the case. So many people tends to think doctors are a reliable source
of information about all matters medical.
The fact that everyone has to seriously question the veracity of large
swaths of mainstream medical belief and practice, in order to ensure
they do not trust untrustworthy sources of information (the beliefs of
the majority of doctors) is a problem for which the majority of doctors
are collectively, wholly, responsible.
There are indeed professional organisations and governments which seek
to constrain doctor's beliefs, statements and clinical decisions. There
is indeed intense peer pressure to conform to what the majority is sure
is right.
However, even an uneducated person knows that such closed-mindedness,
censorship and lack of discussion and argument is a recipe for false
beliefs - and in nutrition and medicine this means ill-health, harm and
death.
There is absolutely no excuse for the majority of doctors, this far into
the pandemic, acting like cult members, closing their minds to
scientific critiques of their beliefs which are offered in good faith,
as you have done.
Doctors train for 10 years or more, are well paid, highly respected (or
they would be if the cultivated their beliefs properly) and fully
cognitively capable of assessing challenging information and debating it
properly. They get cranky if anyone else tries to do a better job of
nutrition and medical advice than they do.
The government is partly to blame, by allowing corruption of their
regulatory agencies by multinational pharmaceutical companies and by
suppressing proper, scientific, debate among medical professionals.
However, if most or all doctors were using their brains as we expect of
any professional, they would guard against groupthink, welcome
challenges to their thinking, and so come to realise that the COVID-19
quasi-vaccines are far more dangerous and less effective than the
manufacturers promised - and that they have a lot to learn about the
immune system's nutritional needs, especially its need for 50 ng/mL 125
nmol/L circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D:
https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/ . This requires a much greater
vitamin D3 supplemental intake than the 0.01 to 0.015 (400 to 600 IU) a
day recommended by the UK government, despite protests and challenges
for over a decade from doctors who research vitamin D properly.
Then the majority of doctors would collectively challenge the
oppressive, corrupt, actions of governments - and the doctors would
easily prevail. This has not happened.
Immunologists, collectively, as just as bad. I have two highly regarded
current immunology textbooks - 1500 pages in total - with no mention of
vitamin D in their indexes. Yet many or most types of immune cells
need 25-hydroxyvitamin D to run their intracrine (inside each cell) and
paracrine (to nearby cells) signaling systems, upon which they depend in
order for each cell to respond to their changing circumstances.
Virologists are arguably the worst. Not only do they avoid proper
knowledge of etiology and treatment like doctors, immunologists and
vaccinologists, but they routinely create chimeric viruses which can
escape from the lab. All the evidence is that this was the origin of
SARS-CoV-2. If virologists, collectively, were thinking rationally and
acting professionally, they would soon have identified who among them
created the progenitor of SARS-CoV-2 and would have instituted worldwide
regulations to prevent a re-occurrence.
Instead, it seems many or most virologists actively deny all the
evidence of SARS-CoV-2 being a lab escape, in part because they want to
keep getting funded by the public in all their work. That work
continues, making lab-constructed viruses - without any effective
regulation which might reduce the chance of one escaping and causing a
pandemic as bad as COVID-19. Alex Washburn wrote about this and his
and his colleagues' new genetic analysis of SARs-CoV-2 origins:
https://alexwasburne.substack.com/p/a-synthetic-origin-of-sars-cov-2 . I
argue that collectively, virologists are the most culpable of all these
professions for their prior practices, their support of the origins
cover-up and for their continuation of those practices now, on a larger
scale, due to the flood of funding which arose from the COVID-19
pandemic:

None of this will help you or anyone else prise the groupthinkers out of
their cult. However, I think it is important to fully explore the
extraordinary nature of their malaise.
