from a layman's point of view based on my experience, let me give you my view

before Obamacare, I was having quarterly checkups at my doc, costs ran me around $150 a visit. I'm blessed, cost was not a factor.

Obamacare came to town, I get the speech from my doc about how four times a year is really too often since Im in good shape. Of course the twice a year visits cost me almost zero now. (My doc is under the employment of a major system)

Now the healthcare system is faced with using low margin drugs/treatments or high margin drugs/treatments. Getting them in and out of the system, or keep billing $$ for the bed they're dying in.

Yes, money is more important than the patient's best interest today as I see it. Your profession may never recover.

-They cant vax people under the EUA if effective therapeutics exist. It's as simple as that-

After America's stolen election and the Wuhan Lab mass murder, both from global powers, both followed with ZERO accountability, there is ZERO assurance they care about anyone except themselves Every decision or move they make will now be questioned. What are they up to next?

From my perspective, trust is the reason people are revolting and are hesitating to get vaxxed

From the Oregon gov covid blog:

The COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson have all received an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA. EUAs may be granted only during a public health emergency and when there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives.
That should answer your first question. No EUA if there is a treatment. So, no treatments exist. Funny the way that worked.

And, no treatment in the hospital either. I found that out while shivering for 23.5 hours in the emergency room with covid. I asked 3 or 4 times what the treatment protocol was and was met with silence. Here's why, the hospital is indemnified as long as they use only the approved treatments (remdesivir, O2 and ventilators). The administration of the hospital doesn't want the liability so restricts treatments. Thank God I didn't get the remdesivir.

To encourage the expeditious development and deployment of medical countermeasures during a public health emergency, the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to limit legal liability for losses relating to the administration of medical countermeasures such as diagnostics, treatments, and vaccines. In a declaration effective February 4, 2020 (the HHS Declaration), the Secretary of HHS (the Secretary) invoked the PREP Act and declared Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) to be a public health emergency warranting liability protections for covered countermeasures. Under the HHS Declaration and its amendments, covered persons are generally immune from legal liability (i.e., they cannot be sued for money damages in court) for losses relating to the administration or use of covered countermeasures against COVID-19
On a related subject when Rand Paul was grilling Fauci, Fauci wound up mispronouncing the drug, from Japan, that has rescued Japan*. Ivermectim not Ivermectin. I thought the mispronunciation was interesting.

*Please see Worldometer for Japan. Stunning success, no news reported here.
