Psychiatrist here. I have to admit to being uncertain about the claims being made about COVID from both proponents and critics of institutional policies. It is not my area of interest or expertise. But, what I am certain of, is that medical scandals happen with such frequency that it is impossible to take everything the medical establishment claims is sound science seriously. Gender medicine, for example is so obviously exploiting patients’ psychological vulnerabilities for profit, and is so obviously an unfolding scandal of epic proportions that it does make you ask what else your professional organization (APA and AAP, I’m looking at you) is lying to the public about. Nearly every colleague that I have spoken to over the age of 40 knows that medicalizing children and vulnerable adults is going to end up going down in the history books alongside lobotomies. Very few are speaking because, well…we know why. So, while I don’t know if Kevin’s perspective is the right one, I do know that we get it very very wrong sometimes and that I’d rather hear both sides of an argument and decide for myself.
