Medicine, like most sciences, entails thinking and hypothesis creation to explain the myriad complexities of the healthy and diseased human body.<\/p>\n

Hypotheses are tested and refined, with new information or insights nudging or abruptly shifting current knowledge in a new direction.<\/p>\n

For examples,\u00a0bloodletting<\/a>\u00a0with leeches is no longer standard medical practice for most ailments as it was up until the late 19th\u00a0century. More recently,\u00a0Vioxx<\/a>\u00a0was considered a safer painkiller, until it was found to cause heart attacks and strokes, similar to another \u201csafe and effective\u201d product introduced about two years ago.\u00a0Oxycontin<\/a>\u00a0was marketed as a nonaddictive pain killer until it devasted hundreds of thousands of lives and families and was shown to be otherwise.<\/p>\n

Physicians, upon medical school graduation, recite the\u00a0Hippocratic Oath<\/a>. Quoting from the revised version (simply because the language is easier to understand), physicians swear, \u201cI will not be ashamed to say, \u2018I know not\u2019\u201d and \u201cAbove all, I must not play at God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saying \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d is what drives the pursuit of new or alternate hypotheses. Physicians of a few hundred years ago saw their bloodletting patients die and didn\u2019t know why, so they devised better treatments by asking questions and not playing God.<\/p>\n

Some modern physicians play God by\u00a0declaring<\/a>, \u201cI am the science,\u201d\u00a0as if they are the final arbiter in all of medicine. I assume Dr. Anthony Fauci recited the Hippocratic Oath when he graduated medical school.<\/p>\n

What questions should physicians have been asking over the past two years? Are they staying mum because they believe the science is settled and challenges to the status quo are heresy? Or are they cowed into silence over fear over losing their ability to practice the profession which they spent a decade learning and from\u00a0which they earn their living?<\/p>\n

Start with the highly touted COVID-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n

In the United States, 80% of the population have\u00a0received<\/a>\u00a0one dose and 68% two doses. Yet almost three\u00a0years into the pandemic, this recent\u00a0headline<\/a>\u00a0from ABC News suggests that there is no end in sight, \u201cWHO sounds the alarm: New COVID variant is most transmissible yet.\u201d And the Washington Post\u00a0cautions<\/a>\u00a0\u201cCOVID hospitalizations rising post-Thanksgiving.\u201d<\/p>\n

Can we ask why? Wasn\u2019t mass vaccination supposed to prevent this?<\/p>\n

CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky in April 2021\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0the world, \u201cOur data from the CDC today suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don\u2019t get sick.\u201d Any challenges to this statement were deemed anti-vaccine disinformation. Until nine\u00a0months later when the science\u00a0changed<\/a>, \u201cCDC Director Rochelle Walensky went on CNN and said that vaccines cannot prevent transmission of COVID-19.\u201d Yet most physicians did not question the initial and incorrect assertion.<\/p>\n
