Doctors are starting to challenge the dominant COVID paradigms: What’s interesting about these doctors is that they’re not the type Democrats can label as “right-wing kooks."

Over the last two years of living in Fauci’s America, most of the medical establishment has meekly gone along with the narrative about COVID treatments and vaccines. Regardless of their motives, they’ve accepted that there are no treatments and that masks and vaccines are imperative for everyone two and older. Any doctor who deviated from that script was stigmatized and risked losing his or her license and livelihood. Now, though, mainstream doctors are starting to speak out against the lockdown and mask rules and even against the vaccine regime.

In medical circles, the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) is one of the most prestigious medical schools and hospitals in America. Attending or working at UCSF carries with it tremendous cachet. “You must be good,” is what springs to people’s minds when they hear those letters. That’s why it matters that four UCSF doctors, including the director of the COVID response for the emergency department, are pushing back against California governor Gavin Newsom’s “mindless” COVID rules in schools.

The four doctors and one nurse opened their petition by noting that California exists under the most restrictive COVID regulations in the country, policies that continue even though California is highly vaccinated and has low hospitalization rates. California’s policies, they say, are lagging reality and “have caused considerable collateral damage throughout the pandemic, have long lost their justification as necessary for prevention of serious illness and death.”

They note that the policies are driving people out of California and are especially worried about the toll on children and teens. They offer a list of 17 action items for Newsom, many of which really ask him to apologize for what he’s done to California’s children. Here’s my abridged version of the list:

The list of 17 action items for Gov. Newsom:

1. Stop forcing vaccine mandates, especially boosters for children.

2. Admit that vaccinating children doesn’t necessarily help children.

3. Start giving people a reward (loosening restrictions) for going along with the vaccine regime.

4. Acknowledge that children are at less risk than adults and that the messaging has been really bad.

5. Admit that the restrictions are worse for children than the illness.

6. Acknowledge that social isolation is devastating young people.

7. Admit that not seeing the faces of teachers and peers is killing education.

8. Stop forcing kids to wear masks outdoors.

9. Make indoor masks for kids optional as of February 2022.

10. Acknowledge that babies and toddlers aren’t learning to speak because of masks.

11. Allow preschool and daycare teachers and other adults to stop wearing masks if they want.

12. Stop mindlessly testing asymptomatic individuals.

13. Stop the madness on college campuses given young people’s low risks.

14. Stop obsessing about case rates.

15. Acknowledge that Omicron is relatively mild.

16. Acknowledge that “true COVID-19 hospitalizations” remain low, so the panic must end.

17. Do a cost-benefit analysis of all the COVID restrictions.

Every one of those is a sensible suggestion and one that conservatives have been making for months, if not years.

When doctors continue to suppress therapies that work but do not harm and push vaccines that don't work but do harm they will face judgment.

If not in this world, then the next.

I know lots of folks that have changed Doctor’s over this stuff.

If your Doctor doesn’t see YOU as the center of YOUR care, why go to them?

They are being used as beards which gives the tyrants cover for saying “Well, our team has determined....blah blah blah”

In a few months they will have bigger experts, more well known, who concur and then get Fauxi to pivot.

We will all be raptured afterward....

I picked my doctor because he wasn’t requiring masks. I kept him after moving across the city. I also like that he is a solo practitioner, an endangered species.

Anyway, he hasn’t said ANYthing about shots. The traits (non-masky, runs solo) run together with not obsessed with forcing shots.

We switched from a corporate medicine type practice to a small family practice doctor. He follows the FLCCC protocol and his practice has tripled in size the last two years.

I am done with corporate medicine. It is as big a sham as the corporate media where “executives” with social grievance degrees and leftist lawyers tell medical doctors what to do and say.

Yes, it is that bad.

Medicare is in charge of what MDs do. That’s all

Pharm is in charge of meds
CVS and Walgreens were told to not fill HCQ norms ivermectin.that’s all.

Docs can quit or go along. That’s it.

Speaking of corporate medicine, when I went to my Kaiser Permanente doctor for a checkup last November, I had to fill out a questionnaire that included the question, “Are you currently breast feeding a child?” As a 71-year-old male, that question didn’t seem pertinent, but the nurse had checked it off as a required field. KP is all-in on the LGBTQ insanity.

They all are on board. All those social grievance majors from modern academia needed jobs. 10 years ago most of them served your coffee at Starbucks. Today they are executives throughout government, academia, and corporate America.

More grievance majors = more grievances and woke nonsense. Who knew?

Dr Vinay Prasad at UCSF health cebter is an oncology doctor with epidemiology training/background. Really a very clever person (but still woke, ).
He says the shots actually work, and that he believes older people should get them. But he says masking kids and closing schools have/will cause/d great harm. He doesn’t think kids should get the shot, …. UNLESS they have two or more co-morbidities. WTF?
Anyway, it really puzzles me how this doctor can trust anything about the shots. He calls them “vaccines”, which they aren’t. He will rant about various problems with certain studies, however I have not heard him discuss how the entire Covid shot thing is full of lies and changes in the rules. Very confusing.
His podcast is called Plenary Session and it is worth a listen. You just have to find the episodes that are not so technical.

They have labeled Stalin and Mao as "right wing".

Do not doubt the depths of their ability to ignore reality.

Must be crazy in Seattle.

In N. California Kaiser, I filled out my yearly questions last fall and that question was not on the list.

Kaiser still has men’s and women’s restrooms in N. California.
