Or...since there are tests for COVID "and" tests for Influenza A and B, maybe the Dr's are looking at the results and recording the data they are actually seeing. I wish people would trust medical professionals again. 1 2 1 Link to comment

Look at our population, a lot of people do whatever they want even though it is detrimental to their health. At times it has to be a depressing line of work. 1 Link to comment

But if you're addicted to something (food, alcohol, drugs) it doesn't matter whether you believe the doctor. 1 Link to comment

I think a lot of people "trust" doctors until they ask them to change their lifestyle or way of thinking. Most of the time it has nothing to do with politics. 1 Link to comment

Unfortunately, we have a blubbering idiot in the WH that has made this issue political. That's caused millions of people to trust a blubbering idiot more than health professionals. 2 Link to comment

The people that trust the president for medical advice were probably not trusting doctors as a whole before this all started. There are many people that think things like essential oils cure everything. 19 minutes ago, Moiraine said: Ya I disagree with that.

I believe there's a much higher percentage of Americans that fall into this category since Trump took office than before. 3 Link to comment

Unfortunately we also have blubbering MD idiots playing doctor on TV and blubbering idiots playing media personality on TV who literally said that it was ok to mass gather in the summer because they were gathering for a greater cause! We also have blubbering Democrat politicians who joined the protests and locked down churches, schools (which is actually Anti-science as shown by numerous studies and CDC/WHO/Trump coronavirus task force officials/Biden transition task force officials) who allowed family members to travel (see IL Gov) while locking everyone down, who are currently traveling to Hawaii (see California politicians) while locking down their state, that caused more harm for mask and social distance compliance than anything else to date. The actual experts we are supposed to have guide us, had different rules for the rioters and protesters, family members than the rest of society. Blame Trump all you want, but these other clowns have done more damage and that damage will last into the next time we are all supposed to listen to the experts. BTw..I wear a mask everyday when in-doors at a place of business and I believe everyone else should too. It makes sense and was ignorant for the CDC/Surgeon General/Task Force/Fauci/ANY Doctor time say otherwise back in March. I know why they said that, but it was huge stupid and lasting mistake. 2 Link to comment

This friggen idiot still is the leading cheer leader AGAINST listening to scientists. Everyone you listed are problems. But, he is the leader of the country and he has COMPLETELY failed in his duty for that office. 7 Link to comment
