The reason for the difference Avram points out is because in all those issues he mentioned the patient is essentially saying: you’re right of course, but I’m lazy or whatever. By vaccines they are saying: I disagree with you. Even: you’re wrong and I’m right. Nothing gets a typical doctors blood to boil more. It’s like heating water on Mt. Everest.
Exactly. And they take it personally, because instead of being professionals about it, they’re usually arrogant jerks.
Doctors in the U.S. are uniquely terrible at doing their job. If I was as bad at my job as doctors are at theirs, I’d have been fired the first day.
Imagine a plumber who comes to your house, and says you have a leak in your pipe and need to fix it. And you say, I don’t know, I read online that sometimes water can drip from condensation, how do you know it isn’t that. So the plumber says if you don’t let him fix it, he’s never coming to your house again. Good plumber?
