@BetaCuck4Lyfe The average person has been trained since childhood to accept all advice from doctors as gospel. Almost all the doctors I've interacted with are minimizers. How would the average person, who lacks scientific literacy, know their doctor is wrong? To the average person, we're just conspiracy theorists because doctors and other authority figures have convinced them of it. That, and they're scared.

This person was well aware of what they needed to do to stay safe before they were sick, but that's not typical. If you go to a cancer ward today, you won't see people wearing masks, even though they should.

Doctors have a moral responsibility to appropriately educate themselves and their patients. Failing to educate a patient about the risks and potential appropriate risk mitigations associated with their medication is a dereliction of duty.

The thing that gets me the worst is, before 2019, everyone wore masks at the cancer clinic

But now they don't

And they don't tell their patients to mask, or take any kind of precautions

And when I suggest it to people who have cancer, they say oh no I don't need to do that, my doctor didn't say anything about that

It's beyond evil

I haven't asked, but I suspect what's going on is that either the HCWs themselves, or their higher ups, are afraid that right wing patients will yell at them or sue them, if they mention masking

And they put that ahead of their patient's lives
