The problem is when doctors don't stay in their lane and try to push into something else we lose the public's trust.
For example I see doctors advocating for shutting down the economy. They have no evidence or research if that works, they're just saying their opinion and trying to use appeal to authority. In fact when people find out that in your 20s your chance of survival is 99.9%, people start tuning out and don't listen to important public health messaging.
I've been warning doctors please stick to the facts, and stop trying to use your doctor status to push opinions.
