From FB (link, re: Caroline Oakshett)
I appreciate your valuable thoughts and input.
I understand there is great skepticism about the political leadership’s honesty in dealing with the vaccine issues. Perhaps you may be correct that there may be a smoke screen without anything genuine or honest happening.
This time, however, I sense something is different. In the past, such claims were dominated mainly by medical experts (physicians). It seems the role of medical experts is diminished.
Two names that are mentioned for the upcoming administration in the health area are RFK Jr. and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.
Although Dr. Bhattacharya has training in medicine (M.D.), his main expertise is in economics and management.
“Jayanta Bhattacharya (born 1968) is an American physician-scientist and economist who is a professor of medicine, economics, and health research policy at Stanford University. He is the director of Stanford’s Center for Demography and Economics of Health and Aging. His research focuses on the economics of health care.” (link).
I consider them both outsiders of the medical field and more towards the business or management side, implying trust in medical experts has diminished in the government. Similarly, Elon Musk is an outsider to healthcare and would probably assist them with his business/management acumen.
I also think that, in general, the public and probably the leadership have lost the trust in medical experts (physicians), knowing, as I often emphasize, that they lied about their credentials and expertise in conducting scientific research. They never studied and trained in science but present themselves as “followers of science” or science experts (scientists) in conducting laboratory-based scientific research. I doubt they will ever recover from the damage of their false claim.
Given this background, I like to be hopeful that there will be a good shakeup of the medical-pharmaceutical complex for the better this time.
Time will tell, and I am hopeful.
