A new survey is out in JAMA Network Open about trust in doctors and hospitals over time
 |
Here is the key figure, trust is falling
 |
Trust is entirely absent among Republicans, and stronger among Democrats.
Many are surprised that trust is low, but I am surprised that it is not lower still. Here is a short list of reasons why no one trusts doctors and hospitals and public health.
- Officials repeatedly lied about the efficacy of cloth masks. Pre pandemic we knew they didn’t work
- Officials lied about the efficacy of masking mandates. Many studies show no effect.
- Officials lied about the origins. They created false consensus and halted debate on platforms like Facebook
- Officials closed beaches and parks and playgrounds.
- Officials closed small shops but allowed big chains to remain open. Even when they sold the same things.
- Officials closed churches while businesses were open (assault on religion).
- Officials banned outdoor funerals (NY City)
- Officials prevented loved ones from visiting people dying (not of COVID)
- Hospitals prevented visitors (even 1 parent at a time and no siblings) when a little boy died of leukemia.
- Officials closed schools and Fauci and others repeatedly lied about risks to kids.
- They kept schools closed even as Sweden reopened
- Officials lied to keep schools closed in fall 2020, DeSantis reopened
- Officials lied that double masking is superior to single masking
- Officials lied that community masking has evidence of efficacy
- Officials inappropriately altered Cochrane’s conclusions
- Officials ran zero randomized trials of masking, schools, cohorting, or distance
- Officials lied about 6ft of distancing which prevented reopenings
- Officials lied about the efficacy of remdesivir and Paxlovid
- Officials did not run studies of COVID vaccines to assess transmission
- By summer 2021, it was known vaccines could not halt transmission and yet officials continued use of vaccine passport in restaurants and mandates
- Officials ignored VITT
- Officials ignored and lied about myocarditis. Walensky probably lied in spring 2021 when she said she did not see the signal
- Officials lied about the benefits of vaccines in people with prior COVID (none are proven)
- Officials lied about natural immunity
- Officials did not lower or spread doses in young men
- Moderna has still not completed post marketing studies
- Peter Marks pressured Gruber and Krause to leave FDA
- Ashish Jha pushed repeat boosters in toddlers who had COVID
- Ashish Jha has repeatedly lied about Paxlovid efficacy in people with prior COVID and vaccination.
- Government colluded with social media to prevent exposure of their lies.
- The AAP and CDC forced little 2 year olds to wear ineffective cloth masks for hours
- Biden enforced this in Headstart
Given these facts trust should be 0%. The only reason trust varied by political party is one party has still not been honest with its members.
