Physicians had much lower excess mortality than the general population.
In the early months of 2020, doctors were left responsible to treat a little-known virus that prompted the worst pandemic the world had seen in a century – risking their lives in the process. During the study timeframe, from March 2020 to December 2021, 622 more physicians died than expected, according to a recently released study.
Physicians had much lower excess mortality than the general population, perhaps indicative that protective equipment and workplace measures were effective, the researchers wrote.
Despite a potentially higher risk of being exposed to COVID-19, active physicians had a lower risk of being infected than non-active physicians.

Further research is necessary, but that active physicians had lower excess deaths suggests workplace interventions could have protected them," Mathew Kiang, ScD, assistant professor of epidemiology and population health at Stanford University and author of the study, told ABC News.
Yet, health care workers were left with limited protective equipment in the very early days of the pandemic.
"We felt powerless because there were a lot of unknowns … that powerlessness was felt in the fact that we couldn't adequately protect ourselves," Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease specialist at the University of California, San Francisco, told ABC News. He then recounted discussions on disinfecting previously used masks with UV light and how mask drives were organized to obtain more supplies.
At the time, the hospital environment was filled with uncertainty and fear.
"In the beginning, as I like to say, we all opened up our textbooks to COVID and we only had blank pages, because there had not been any experience with COVID," Dr. William

Umm…active providers are generally younger than retired providers… duh.
JUST plain weird.(/s)
Stress.
Drinking.
Shaving cuts.
The heartbreak of Psoriasis.
1st years, so before the vaccine.
I know of several physicians and medical personnel who died of covid
Me too. My father in law was one.
I am so sorry for your loss
some retired and semi retired providers returned to service during the worst of the pandemic
Well let’s the record the last couple weeks?
1. Those in authority lied about mask efficacy - Cochrane
2. Those in authority lied about natural immunity - Yesterday in the Lancet.
3. Those in authority lied about vaccine efficacy. Fauci admits the vaccine are ineffective and probably not approvable. - Cell
It does not seem irrational to question authority’s declaration that the shots are safe by asking if the experimental shots may have some roll in excess deaths.
I was replying to a post stating active doctors tend to be younger than retired ones. And the period these deaths occurred in were mostly before the vaccine. So tell me again what I said about the vaccine?
Cheers MM - not intended to wrangle. If you question the narrative full of demonstrable lies then we are on the same page.
The entire medical field has trashed itself because of this
I do not perceive doctors as doctors anymore. They are techs
‘I know of several physicians and medical personnel who died of covid’
were they perfectly healthy shortly before the outbreak, and then died within a short period of time after contact...? and if not, how do you then definitively attribute their deaths to ‘covid’...
Yeah - the loss of confidence in the medical field due the foolishness of handling covid from the government authorities to doctors is hard to calculate.
Appears in Australia, they are now blaming the doctors for not giving informed consent. (which I agree with, if the doctors did not give informed consent, and I don’t care if under threat of losing their job. - we are talking about injecting an experiment into human’s veins).
However it irks me that the government is pretending like it did not force doctors to play their game.
“I do not perceive doctors as doctors anymore. They are techs”
************************************************************
I’ve always considered doctors nothing more than glorified technicians, because that’s basically what most of them are. Robot doctors couldn’t be any worse and might actually be an improvement.
yes. they were. and died of respiratory failure secondary to covid
i know all our pro-jabbers here are jumping onto this trying to claim that the excess deaths following 2021 were not due to the jab.
but there’s one giant hole in this ‘study.’ our clinic and hospital and docs/health workers were mandated to get the jab when it was first available in late 2021. late nov and throughout december 2021 as i recall. i’m sure many other hospitals followed suit. so whoever did this study would need to restrict the study to the first 6 months of 2021 to get jab free data.
so color very suspicious of this study and it’s reporters.
December the 18th was when the initial rollout began to 'high risk' persons and first responders.
we got it earlier.
