Same with my dad and the 11teen billion cancers he’s had. Some things worked, some didn’t, some had horrible side effects….even one of his surgeries that was supposed to be as routine as the sunrise would fuck him up. The chemo that they thought might not work would be great.

People expect one final answer immediately. A magic pill and a perfect answer on the spot. They don’t like to hear about evidence evolution, or understanding new things over time. Often it’s easier to point back to something an official said that was an earnest answer based on the evidence at the time and play “gotcha!” using new information that wasn’t available at the time of the original answer/opinion. It’s fucking tiresome and lazy.

So, yeah. Super easy to criticize the med community from afar. Fauci becoming the punching bag was a predictable outcome, but unfortunate. We should all probably be marveling at the rate of vaccine development and the success, instead we have people in the streets yelling at kids in high school. :sigh:

Yes.

Just in case anyone missed this at the top of the page - emphasis mine. This is 100% the correct answer. Repeat it to yourself at night.

There are those that nitpick at something they don't really understand in order to feel intellectually superior. Like they're playing some online cat & mouse game and they're fucking Pierrot or something. Tiresome, and a distraction from what's genuinely important dialog.
