At the airport on my return trip after the March Against the Mandates, I ran into a doctor in the airport that had also been to the march. She said that she was in education as well as practicing. She shared with me the letter she had gotten about her being required to vaccinate. She would not comply and was fighting the battle. As we talked, she talked about how upon reflection she now realizes that in medical school students are indoctrinated in favor of big pharma. She also said that the classes now focus on DEI to the point that it is as if the critical thinking has gone out the window. Instead there is a debilitating focus on whether or not somebody is being offended or whether one is sensitive enough,....etc. I have heard the same from others. Virtue signaling

is seemingly more important than content.

My ex-brother-in-law was in med school when the pharma reps approached him. Tell me how a doctor can have lunch catered by a pharma rep every day and not be beholden to them? Tickets to the Super Bowl anyone? How about dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steak House? Any takers? They’re basically pharma lobbyists. They have them on The Hill, and they have them up close and personal. Of course, the Rats won’t do anything about it because who’s more guilty than they are of taking bribes?

Sounds like a meaningful moment for her to have run into someone at the march and shared her reflections, it could change the direction of her career.
