1. "First Do No Harm"

4. There needs to be consequences for Fox and their "experts".

I've been told that public flogging is probably a no go.

I'm thinking of doing a PowerPoint to show why it WOULD be appropriate.

2. That is fucking jaw-dropping ...

I mean ... you can debate just how effective social distancing and masks are (very, but it's not total) ... but to suggest QUARANTINING 'doesn't work'?

How irresponsible and downright moronic can you get?

"Settled Science" my country ass

3. Dude's a cardiologist.

He learned about infectious disease during his internship. That's it.

5. The funny thing is people believe it. Nt

6. His specialty is elective surgery.

Sorry, no time for that in the age of Covid.

7. He is a cardiologist.

Surely there is no lack of infectious disease docs.

8. have had two doctors and two nurses ask me very stupid questions lately.

1. two nurses giving shots hadn't ever heard about typhus shots. Thought I was an idiot.
2. I told a doctor my daughter crawled around the house, She asked, "on her hands and knees?"

9. How do these trashbags know these things don't work

...if they've never once tried them?

[Grammy23]

10. I'm pretty sure a lot of surgeons, OR nurses, surgical techs and anesthesiologists

Will be stunned to learn of this new “settled science”.

11. They like to point at places like CA

where social distancing and masks are required but there are still spikes to say that it doesn't work. They always fail to mention that it's not those policies, but rather the assholes telling people to ignore them that creates the spikes.

12. He should have his license revoked

People have known quarantine works since before the middle ages. It's mentioned in Mosaic laws. Boccaccio's Decamerone from the Renaissance is about ten young people secluding themselves in a villa in the Italian countryside to escape the Black Death.

What a craven bufoon that 'doctor' is.

13. He was pushing hydroxychloroquine back in April:

Hydroxy hysteria
BY RAMIN OSKOUI, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 04/09/20 10:00 AM EDT

... the president’s critics are being influenced by what might otherwise be rational disagreements with him on other issues, a legitimate rivalry between political parties, or even a purely personal dislike for Trump ... We need to set aside the old ways of doing things in Washington, innovate together, put on our masks, and get our country back to work ...

14. Odd how northeastern states are doing so much better and they were

doing all those things the first time around, managed to open up a bit and still are doing better than the rest of the country because we've always worn masks, always social distanced and always wash our hands. The local hospital reports having no Covid patients at the present time and has had under 10 overall.

15. "Social distancing, quarantining, and masks don't work" among Republicans

Because they won't do any of that stuff.
