I’ve got to get something off my chest, so buckle up for an overdue rant.

I can’t begin to describe the disdain and contempt I have for highly-credentialed MD’s with large platforms who are suddenly jumping on Team Reality about COVID. /1
I’m so glad you finally “discovered” natural immunity. Could you have opened your mouths before ppl lost their livelihoods? Or when regular MD’s were being castigated as being conspiracy theorists for discussing something that was completely noncontroversial prior to 2020? /2
Maybe now you can admit that denying NI has caused massive distrust of all health officials. You knew you were lying, we knew you were lying, and it makes us wonder what else you’ve lied about. Congrats, you’ve actually birthed a new generation of true anti-vaxxers. /3
Speaking of things that all MD’s knew to be true prior to 2020, can we discuss the uselessness of cloth masks for respiratory viruses? Can you see how much damage has been done, especially to children, because of your acquiescence to this nonsense? /4
You have forced us to gaslight ourselves by engaging in BS COVID theatre like taking the mask on and off between bites and sips on an airplane. You don’t seem to care about the consequences. /5
The true believers are living lives of neurotic hypochondriasis, clutching hand sanitizer and wearing multiple masks at all times, even when in cars alone or outdoors. /6
You can pat yourselves on the back for fostering mental illness in so many people. Our next generation will suffer greatly, but at least you didn’t have to go against the narrative./7
Speaking of the narrative, you and your pals in the garbage media acted like Mean Girls sitting at the popular table, coordinating attacks (“devastating takedowns” you might even say) against scientists who actually did have courage and wisdom, like the authors of the GBD. /8
You never uttered a peep of concern when fellow MD's with different opinions were silenced, censored or terminated. When has this ever been acceptable in medicine? Providing HC is nuanced and individualized. We learn from each other, but you can be proud of preventing that. /9
Could you have popped your heads out of your groupthink bubble long enough to criticize an addled politician who was trying to practice one-size-fits-all medicine without a license? Perhaps you could’ve cautioned that “more” is not better, and might actually be harmful? /10
Maybe someone could’ve criticized the whole “pandemic of the unvaccinated” narrative? Perhaps mandating a vaccine that doesn’t stop infection or transmission doesn’t make that much sense? /11
Could you have cautioned these idiot politicians and journalists that healthy young people, especially males, who have already recovered from COVID and received (mandatory) vaxxes might be considered in a different category from obese, diabetic 80 year olds? /12
Maybe when you saw the laptop class making all the rules, while the working class was taking all the risks, you might’ve discussed the unfairness of the COVID caste system you were helping to create? /13
To the OB/GYN’s who pressured young pregnant moms to take the vaxx, even when they were very reluctant to, I hope you’re proud of yourselves. YOU know for certain there will be no long-term side effects. Oh, and how exactly do you know this? /14
To the pediatricians who demanded that young moms not allow their new babies to be able to see their unvaxxed grandparents, I hope you’re proud of causing stress and family division during what should be a time of joy. /15
Especially when the young mom came down with COVID two weeks after her booster, but the grandparents with natural immunity were still negative. Oh, and the babies barely had the sniffles, BTW. /16
Thanks also for not speaking up about the harms done by delaying medical screenings and treatments. For not speaking out about the increase in abuse and addiction. For not allowing even the slightest discussion of early therapeutics. /17
Your myopic focus on one pathogen and one "treatment" has caused unimaginable harm. Good job being lackeys for career politicians and bureaucrats! /18
If we are getting out of this mess it won't be due to MDs. They’ve abdicated their roles because most no longer are in practice for themselves and must rely on CMS dollars. Whoever pays the salary makes the rules. /19
Getting back to normal will be due to truckers and regular workers standing up tor our rights, rather than cowardly MD's speaking up in time. /20
It will be because the powers that be finally pushed parents too far and the mama bears are waking up to the devastation that’s been done to their children.

To these people, I say thank you.
To the silent physicians, I say shame on you. /21
