I don't trust most of what I hear about Covid because the entire topic has been too politicized by the government and their media shills--and by that I mean the mainstream media, from the local news to the national news, none of whom are trustworthy.  And doctors in general, being human, all have differing ideas, many based on their own political views, their willingness to trust the news media in general and their own specialized medical news to which  they have access--much of it tainted in my opinion for the same reasons the mainstream media is tainted.  People believe what they want to believe.  There are simply too many diverse "facts" on this topic coming in at lightning speed from too many diverse sources to form a cohesive and truly solid case.

Is it a wonder this topic is such a hot potato?  In general, I try to avoid discussing it, but specifically arguing it with those with differing political views, because those people are usually bound and determined to shove their view down our throat whether we want to hear it or not.  There is no convincing them of whatever we might say to prove what we believe, because frankly there is no proof of anything at this point in time, and may not be for a long time.  For me, this is a topic best left alone--by me at least.
