And I think that phrase over the pandemic is what really shifted things. It certainly did for me as one of the big concerns. I mean, that was something that we all lived through recently and we saw the marketing around vaccines. We saw how that played out. And when you talk about a new vaccine, Safe and effective doesn't make any sense. It's just propaganda.

What should have been said, what would have been completely reasonable, if we were being honest, would be based on the information that we have, the benefits seem to outweigh the known risks at this time. We don't have any long term data, so we don't know anything about the long term risks from the vaccine. But we do feel like based on what we know, the risks seem minimal.

The benefits seem great for decreasing deaths. decreasing hospitalizations. So here's why we're recommending it. We're recommending it to these individuals because they're more high risk for the individuals that are less high risk. Here's our recommendation. What's wrong with that? Like, that's honest. That's what we should have been saying.

Instead of saying safe and effective, safe and effective. And then people had problems. With anything you're going to take, there's going to be issues. And if you're not honest, then you see this decrease in trust in medicine because people say, well, they're not being honest with me about that. What else are they not being honest with me about? And I'm seeing that in the office.

I mean, we're seeing the vaccine rates decline across the board. Trust in medicine is at the lowest it's ever been. It was 70% before the pandemic. In many studies now, it's around 40%. That's crazy. the vaccination rates. There are more kids than ever that are unvaccinated. There are more kids than ever that are not fully vaccinated.

We have to take a hard look as physicians and as a medical establishment and look in the mirror and say, what are we doing? I mean, medicine's trying to stop vaccine hesitancy. They're actually creating it by not having discussions and having debate. And we have to look in the mirror and say, what can we do?
