I actually know one family doctor who is really, really smart. He took care of my family, and he has always been on point with his advice.
Three years from now (edit:) ago, he started spewing bullshit about vaccines. It was really disappointing.
My point is, some people (including thia doctor) are very susceptible to social media brainwashing. I’m not justifying them, but I can see how they became doctors long, long, long ago when we were not constantly online.
I’ve noticed a few people on here use “x years from now” incorrectly to refer to the past. I wonder if it’s an ESL thing and maybe their native language uses that construct to refer to the future.
I’ve read that intelligent people can be more susceptible to rabbit holes because they trust themselves to see through the bullshit. They don’t realise the bullshit is carefully crafted to slip past their filters.
Woo boy, a couple years ago I got a vasectomy. I didn’t know the doctor, I’m not at an age that one typically sees a urologist. This otherwise seemingly intelligent and congenial medical professional starts making small talk about how much bullshit the COVID vaccine is WITH MY NUTS IN HIS HANDS. I just nodded and grunted noncommittally until I could rush out of that office. Bright side is his work has held up at least!
“I know I spent a decade or more of my life in post-grad, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, attended hundreds of hours of lectures, but this blog with a .blogspot.com domain just convinced me that vaccines can ionize your body”
Being smart in one subject doesn’t mean anything else. I have meet some interesting characters in engineering. One I worked with only drank fluoride removed water and every day wolfed down a king size candy bar. Which according to him was okay since it is sugar and sugar is natural. His teeth were as you expect. Also had like 8 patents.
Yes unfortunately intelligence does not seem to be a protective factor against media illiteracy. That is also not something that is focused on in medical education too much, and definitely wasn’t being emphasized by small schools in the 80s (which is when this Ohio person went to school).
All vaccines or just the new mRNA ones? I feel like it would be easy to mistrust them at first because of the rapidity they came to market (if iring previous mRNA research), and maybe the media played on that.
If it’s all vaccines that’s just absolutely retarded for a doctor to fall victim to. Who wants polio back? He should have had extensive training on the older vaccines.

Three years from now would mean three years into the future.
Three years ago would be three years into the past.
And yes it’s sad how even intelligent people fall down very deep rabbit holes.

You’re discounting the possibility that the person is a time traveler.
Lol sorry, I was tired when I typed that. “x years from now” to refer to the past is weird if not wrong.
Thanks! I was tired and typed that in haste. Corrected.
