As always, great insights from Dr. Brian C. Joondeph, M.D.:

“A warning to doctors — spreading COVID misinformation could cost you your license.” Who decides what is “misinformation”? Especially in an era when, according to the Harvard article noted above, now five years old predicts, “That in about four years that half-life will be only 73 days.”

We are now at a time when half of medical knowledge is obsolete with each changing of the seasons, so what is “misinformation” versus the rapidly changing base of medical knowledge? And who makes that decision? President Biden? Dr Fauci? CNN?

For two years, physician autonomy has been not only frowned upon, but in some cases, criminalized, simply over doctors providing medically necessary and potentially lifesaving healthcare for the patients they serve. Pay attention to those last words.

Using physicians as pawns to promote political agendas demeans the entire medical profession, and not unexpectedly is causing patients to lose trust in their doctors, trust once lost difficult to recover.

Unfortunately, a heavy-handed government is corrupting the medical system, many professionals afraid to speak out or resist for fear of losing their reputations or their livelihoods. Who do we want as our doctors? Those acting as government controlled robots? Or the smart and caring professionals we have had for generations?
