I’m in my late 30s and feel that way about the schools I went to. I studied chemistry and while some of the material was good most of my grades were about teacher pleasing and completing arbitrary assignments. They cared more about layout and formatting than about actual content.

Absolutely. Universities went from institution that’s taught you how to think outside the box to a place that teaches you how to fill positions at a lab/office/whatever. They don’t want you inventing the future, they want you filling their prescriptions or fixing their phones. It might lead into the old adage that those who don’t know how to do, teach? I don’t buy that, but still…

She’s actually an ENT, but it really doesn’t matter what your specialty is. Mnra vaccines are new enough that unless you are actively researching them or are in a specialty like infections disease, most MD’s aren’t really going to be very familiar with them.
I specialize in orthopedics and rehabilitation, I know about bones, joints and the things that connect to bones and joints… If anyone asks me about vaccines I’m going to refer them to someone who actually really knows what they’re talking about.
I don’t trust the vaccines because I went to med school. I trust the vaccines because my colleagues in infectious disease trust the vaccines and this is what they do all day.

Bang on. Grifters go around finding someone who will agree with their grift. They didn’t ask any doctor, they asked one who would agree with them.
