Doesn't seem wrong to me, it's not like there's a massive union of doctors out there trying to change public policy, just a mass of people who should know better collectively shrugging their shoulders because "the CDC says"

Meanwhile look at all the masks on these soon to be ICU workers. Yeah, not doctors, but they should still know better. And yet

I agree that the part about doctors just being automatons that just follow the lists someone else wrote felt off. I mean, are all doctors just supposed to throw shit at the wall to see what sticks? I agree that there are problems in the way we address new processes in healthcare, but having people that spend their time collating and disseminating the best practice is better than having everyone do it individually and reach different conclusions thus having ungodly amounts of redundant work being done when you could spend that time actually giving care. Honestly I give it another year before we just sorta give up masking all together in healthcare once the CDC declares it unnecessary, thus my issue with the "central" bit since it's half political, but my other points still stand.
