It was something I noticed at that time. Others I work with said the same thing. I didn’t think much of it except that it showed that groupthink does exist in the medical profession, given the right circumstances.

It was something I noticed at that time. Others I work with said the same thing. I didn’t think much of it except that it showed that groupthink does exist in the medical profession, given the right circumstances.

The problem is that most people believe it to be inconceivable that doctors could go temporarily insane over Covid, whooping cough or sepsis or any other real or Perceived illness but it does clearly happen.
I don’t know of any study or data over what I saw in 2012 but I’d credit it with alerting me to what could possibly have been occurring with Covid in early 2020.
