Say, sometime during the decades immediately following the end of WWII–a simpler time–your car breaks down in the countryside, and you see a couple of fairly beat up houses nearby. Do you think it is safe to walk up and knock on a door, and can you expect help?

If, back then, you leave your car by the road side, and aren’t able to pick it up for several days, will it still be there, and not stripped, when you come to retrieve it?

Now play that same scenario today.

Do you feel safe walking up to someone’s door and knocking. Can you have a good chance of getting help from a stranger? A week later, will your car still be there, and intact?

I think that, over these last several decades, a lot of what used to be almost automatic (and perhaps naive) trust has eroded.

On a similar vein, the violent lunatic Alex Pretti worked for the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. The service members who get medical care there do not have a choice. We can hope that the Trump administration investigates the place and finds out why they would hire this nut job.

Just look at the New England Journal of Medicine which now routinely publishes articles emphasizing Democrat talking points. This month, you have an article bashing RFK Jr and the FDA for allowing states to “restrict access to necessary vaccines”. There’s another article that was likely rushed to press in light of the Good shooting titled “Mental Health Outcomes in Children After Parental Firearm Injury”.

Last month, it was even more of a propaganda rag. The lead article was a direct attack on Trump and RFK concerning the autism debate, namely that they are dead wrong about everything and that autism isn’t even a problem in this country. The next article was a full-throated defense of abortion and expose about how republicans are restricting or banning contraceptives. Then you had an article that was essentially a celebration of Obama and the doctors that helped him craft Obamacare.

Every month there will be one or two articles on how medicine is being affected by climate change as well as the mental health epidemic among the college educated living under Trump.

COVID did a bang up job of eroding the authoritative aura of honesty, objectivity, and expertise surrounding a lot of the high level scientific/medical community.

Now, come these these psycho “health care professionals,” which make us start to doubt the objectivity, the mental health, and the extent of real devotion to their patients held by some percentage of ground level medical personnel.

I think that’s a real concern.
I’m very polite, proper and “gray.” I’m thinking about more precautions.

There were healthcare workers who said the same things about Israelis not too long ago.

I agree that we have to stop equating someone being a doctor, nurse, or healthcare worker with being an amazing, selfless, pure-hearted person whose motives we should never question. This kept happening during the COVID-19 pandemic and it was just as annoying then. As mentioned above, Mengele was a doctor. Che was a doctor. Guess who else is a doctor? Bashar al-Assad. LOL.
