Those Physicians Who Embrace Patently False And Obviously Ridiculous Theories? Their Critical Thinking Is Clearly Flawed And They Are Not Competent To Practice Medicine On Real People

This sounded so insane that I had to check the actual study; maybe the author misread it! But it was written by Karol Markowicz, who is no slouch, so I suspected it was real...and crazy.

'Masks reduce racism' study is latest sign US medical establishment is insanely, perilously woke

Is there anything masking can’t do? Except for control COVID spread, of course.
A new study in the New England Journal of Medicine purports to show that mask policies in schools work to contain COVID. But that’s not all: The authors conclude, “We believe that universal masking may be especially useful for mitigating effects of structural racism in schools, including potential deepening of educational inequities.”
Sure, masks help fix structural racism. Why not? And the next study will show masking fights climate change.
No, what this study shows is that much of the medical establishment continues to be intensely woke — and deeply dishonest because of it. Just as the “experts” told us gathering in crowds wasn’t OK in spring of 2020, but just weeks later protesting for Black Lives Matter somehow was.

Oh...that's probably not the nuttiest part of the entire thing. The study also discusses all sorts of nonsensical historical artifacts that have nothing to do with....anything! But they dutifully link imagined issues with Covid. It is difficult to read because it is untethered from reality, but it is a glimpse into the chaotic mindset of the medical establishment that has bought into the most insane ideas about society and culture.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, schools have become an important setting for implementing policies that minimize inequitable health, educational, social, and economic effects on children and their families. However, even before the pandemic, schools were not uniformly health-promoting environments. Chronic underinvestment in combination with structural racism codified in state-sanctioned historical and contemporary policies and practices (e.g., redlining, exclusionary zoning, disinvestment, and gentrification) eroded tax bases in some school districts and shaped the quality of public school infrastructure and associated environmental hazards.These processes left school districts differentially equipped to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic and concentrated high-risk conditions, such as crowded classrooms and poor indoor air quality due to outdated or absent ventilation or filtration systems, in low-income and Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities.

Huh? The data simply don't support these contentions. It's like looking at a Diabetes Wing at a hospital and saying that there is structural racism at work because there are more black patients than there should be...assuming perfect distributions of risk.

But that's not how the world works, and that's not how medicine works. Looking for cultural and societal causes for disease is an interesting academic exercise, but telling some diabetic fatty who smokes that it's structural racism that caused his disease is malpractice. And of course those societal causes are a priori blamed on the WHITE PATRIARCHY.

I'll be honest...I don't really understand what the hell the authors of this diarrheic blather are trying to say. They don't recognize the many changes that were occurring in student behavior concurrent with the relaxation of masking, in particular greater exposure to the world outside of their schools. In addition, they fail to recognize that the virus rapidly became ubiquitous, mutated, and decreased in severity (typical viral progression). And they ignore the huge amount of data that show that their conclusion is incorrect; there is ample evidence that demonstrates that masking in schools has essentially no effect on Covid rates.

What terrifies me is that nonsense such as this study is replacing real biomedical scholarship and research. The intersection of progressive, left-wing politics and medicine does not belong in a healthcare system that used to be the best in the world. Physicians who take seriously this sort of hyper-politicized garbage do a disservice to their patients, who deserve to be treated as individuals, not as populations of ethnic or socio-economic groups without any individuality.

7 It gets better than that - there are a number of "studies" claiming that black patients do much better medically when they are treated by black doctors.

One "study" claims that when black mothers are treated by white doctors, the infant mortality rate is much higher than when they are treated by black doctors. White doctors kill black babies, you see.

The end result is going to be an apartheid medical system, where black patients are treated by black doctors, and only black doctors.

An international example of this is New Zealand, which is in the process of setting up two separate health care systems - one for Maori, and one for everyone else.

Just as with "climate" "science", the ramparts of the medical/scientific establishment showed their utter degradation (world-wide) with C19. Substantively off the rails, with totalitarian impulses unleashed.

And the "education" industry has produced a populace that, for the most part, puts up with it, and suffers the damage that these lysenkoists inflict. World-wide.

If you live in Florida , a state with a crime rate that is more than twice that of NYS, you can thank Ron DeathSantis, who opened up Florida during the height of the pandemic, for the more than 82,000 Covid deaths and nearly 8 million confirmed Covid cases there. Texas under Abbott has done even worse. Profits over people. And NYC and NYS have no alligators, pythons, fire ants, flying roaches, sinkholes and hurricanes.

I have a physical booked in the not too distant future, guess I'll find out. Last year we didn't pay much mind to the shot though; the doc (or was it the nurse?) asked my status but it was a perfunctory paperwork thing, no additional discussion or recommendation. Maybe if I was less healthy, but the only problem I have is that I'm a little chunky and could use about 30 pounds of GAINZZ.

28 I've only had one doctor at the VA ask about some BS stuff, gun ownership. He was looking for a Winchester Model 42 .410 pump and wanted to know if I had seen any for sale. Having said that, for general primary care, I request a Nurse Practitioner or Physicians Assistant (I know, I know, some say don't) for my initial exam or triage. A lot of those folks at the VA are former Corpsmen/Medics working their way up, and when they get into a problem, they're quicker to give you a consult with an MD. Some MDs are reluctant because of trusting their own judgement.

Someone else though (and honestly it wasn't me) then went and got a racial breakdown map and also overlayed that. Turns out that most of the extra obesity in the southeast is in black communities.

Suddenly it was no longer funny...at all...that a subgroup of people tended to be fatter...

The problem is when they spend the rent money on it, and view it as an alternative path to wealth instead of working hard and deferring gratification.

72 48 36 VA hospitals are all over the map when it comes to quality of care. Little Rock flat sucks. Fayetteville pretty good. Erie PA my fave. They even have valet parking. Also, a lot of folks don't know how to pitch a complaint. If you don't like a doc, the VA will give you another in a heartbeat. Most VA problems are the admin people, like everywhere else. They are scared of a squeaky wheel.

My doctor told me not to take it, and he is very deep in researching COVID./ I helped patients get ivermectin, and got them on high dose nutritional support if they wished./ I got the first two shots as it was a matter of not only keeping my job but keeping my hospital privileges, which if you lose those for cause you can lose your medical license not to mention affiliation with insurance companies./ So far so good but I wish I hadn't had to take them. DINLI. My wife and I discussed things and decided since I'm old and useless anyway if it killed me then they'd at least get the insurance... LOL/ I've got patients from six continents. Some of them are really challenging culturally, and I say that with 25 years of doing medical care in third fourth and fifth world shitholes.

I take all the time I need and I can text him and get a response…from him! .

imo, I'm more likely to die from the vax (did not get it, won't) ... than from any recent version of Covid (especially since I have ivermectin, etc. for early treatment). BP meds might help my BP a little, but there are downsides to them as well. Basic GainZZZ and losing another 20 pounds would be a better path.

But at some point seeing a doctor is still a good idea, so I hear.
