There are far fewer true "research" doctors who have been trained to "think" and use the scientific method. Instead, if articles in Lancet, Science, New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA etc. exist, many or most doctors "believe on authority" the content of the articles, especially if advertisements in the same magazines tend to support the articles' conclusions. I have a relative, who is a recent MD, who fits this description. I'm a lowly semi-retired physicist/ mathematician who used to teach statistics. What would I know about science!!
The appeal to authority is a well worn psychological tactic. It literally bypasses the prefrontal cortex where complex thinking takes place, and affects a deeper part of the brain where decisions are made based on shortcut “feelings”. This is why beliefs are so much more powerful to a person’s motivation than reasoning. It affects us all in some way or another. But some people are actually far more literally hypnotizable than others. It doesn’t depend on intellect, per se. Dr. Andrew Huberman, a brain researcher at Stanford talks about this phenomenon.
Yeah, it is scary!! "Belief" should not be part of a true scientist's tools, and doctors, with so many years of medical school, should have been taught how to critically think, how to critically analyze data, and should have been taught to be part of the peers reviewing JAMA, NEJM, Science, Lancet, etc. articles -- and not to just read them like reading Time magazine.
The CDC's data are sometimes polar opposites to the narrative given by people such as Fraudxxi on that same data! And Johns Hopkins, for the C19 website, is totally corrupted...
----- I had one doctor tell me he was prescribing, for me, a med he saw an ad for in a med magazine - and that I should tell him how it worked..... I never went back.... didn't fill the prescription. Scared the heck out of me!

Above all physicians here & abroad believe everything the CDC/FDA spouts out! Have talked to many… it’s scary
