I could be wrong with this figure bit the internet seems to think that there's around 9.2 million doctors worldwide. Apparently there's over a million
in India so that figure could be pretty accurate.
If covid 19 is not as it seems as some people suggest then that means over 9 million doctors are either complicit in this deception or too dumb to
realise they are being lied to.

From experience I would say you are right. And yes I know that is not your intent, but fact is I meet more and more doctors these days who just follow
the play book on doctoring. None do their own research, they just read others papers and do what they're told. And they all have something in common,
same as you and me.
They're humans. Humans make mistakes. Many humans can be 'intelligent' but that does not mean they are 'smart'.
Being a doctor, or a physicist or policeman, or soldier or politicians etc. etc. DOES NOT make you infallible.
Want a famous example? Look at Neil Degrasse Tyson. People consider him some kind of know all scientist, when reality is he has made tonnes of screw
ups and stated plenty of incorrect 'facts' and when he was an actual 'scientist' he failed hard.
I'll let you google that one.
But by what you're implying here and stated on many other threads on this site, using your logic we should believe Neil and everything that comes out
of his mouth without question. The same as we shouldn't question doctors or politicians and expect they know better than us.
Are 9 million doctors in on this? Perhaps not intentionally. But as the courts will tell you. Ignorance is not an excuse.
But indeed many are 'in on it' in the sense they are just repeating what they're told and not fact checking sh*t for themselves.
Okay, so I'm not a doctor myself. But here's the thing. It doesn't mean I am not intelligent, not capable of doing my own research and most of all it
does not mean I am not not smarter than a brain surgeon or GP and every medical field in-between.
And I have learned and confirmed this from experience. Due to ongoing health issues I have had to deal with quite a few medical doctors over the
years. And a scary amount of them are honestly useless and some are borderline moronic. I often find myself doing their job for them, telling them
what tests to run etc.
Same for psychologists. and various other jobs where people would roll their eyes because 'you don't have the right badge', despite I myself knowing
damn well I know what I am talking about and understand it better than those who do 'wear the badge'.
Met plenty of cops who managed to do the training and pass, yet I untrained in law enforcement know Australian law better than they do.
So because they have a 'badge' and I don't should I remain silent because despite knowing better, I lack the 'qualifications'?
I've mostly worked in IT nearly all my adult life. I know a sh*t load about technology. More than the average person.
But you know what? I DO NOT know everything about every computer, chip and circuit made. I constantly have to make an effort to keep up to date on the
latest and greatest and even then a lot of my knowledge comes pretty much from other 'experts' and a lot of it I have to just trust is correct. And no
matter how smart and educated I am, there will always be someone with more knowledge and smarts than I. I have to trust them as I do not have enough
time in my life to check every piece of information that comes into my brain. nobody can. Although if in doubt, I will question that information and
fact check it. (and not in a way that suits me.)
In a way I am an 'electronics doctor'. But more than that I am human, and I make mistakes. So do many other experts in my 'field', many with more
'certificates' than I. Hell I have met plenty of computer technicians and website designers who were absolutely clueless, but they passed the test.
All they knew was what they were shown. They never picked up a book and learned 'how to code' if the need arose, they just copy'n'pasted
everything.
They could pass the test, but they couldn't do anything on their own, they were stuck following what they were told.
No way you or anyone else can convince me Doctors are different. Again this applies to any field, doctors, cops, firemen, IT guys, nurses, school
teachers.
Plenty of doctors and scientists have been shown their work is bunch of crap upon proper and thorough peer review and let's be honest here, out of the
9 million doctors you mention, how many are doing or publishing research that is being reviewed constantly?
How many doctors have indeed given out dangerous drugs because 'big pharma' told them to and that they were safe? Plenty let me tell you.
Is your local family doctor setting up their own virology lab and doing their own research into covid and vaccines?
Or is it more likely they're just opening their email and seeing the CDC or whatever you have in your country and just going with it?
Are they one of these doctors who have been shown to just say whatever the pharma companies have paid them to say or push the drugs they've been paid
to push? Doctors can get 'sales bonuses' too.
If doctors were infallible 'malpractice' wouldn't be in the dictionary.
Any way what was the point again to what we're discussing?
Oh that's right we're all idiots for questioning things, but no doctor is capable of being an idiot because doctor and no other reason. That about the
gist of it yeah?
9 million+ doctors around the world and they're all, all knowing saints with the same knowledge, training and standards regardless of location who
should not be questioned.
Now whatever you typed your post on, go and pour a large jug of hot coffee into it, it will make everything you write truer and speed up the
performance of your device be it phone, computer or calculator.
As a qualified IT expert you need to trust I know what I am doing and just do it because I clearly know better than you and my qualifications make me
infallible and superior to anyone who does not have a computer degree of some sort.
You can also trust me when I tell you to press ALT+F4 on your keyboard right now.
I mean do it, because literally hundreds of other people I have told to press ALT+F4 have done so without question so that should show I am
trustworthy.
You see what I am saying here yet?
tl;dr doctors are human too and all that implies.
I look forward to your reply. Please try to not cherry pick and read between the lines though after all I'm not a CDC report.
I'd provide links to back up everything I have stated but you know what, google, bing and duckduckgo aren't that hard to use.
