Not all opinions are equal.

I don't seek out the local locksmith for advice on compiling Linux.

Nor do I need my bank manager's point of view on object-oriented design in a PHP 8.x environment.

Why, then, should I listen to some rando on Facebook about medical questions? I have a perfectly good doctor - a person who has dedicated their life to healing and saving lives.

Dear anti-vaxxers, we don’t gather grapes from thistles

If you look for oranges among the daffodils, you are not an "alternative expert", you are someone who does not understand how plants work.

Should you seek goldfish in an oak tree, you are not giving all sides a fair chance because "maybe there are goldfish in trees; how would you know if you don't look?" What you are is someone who does not know what a fish is.

Are doctors perfect? No of course not, they are human.

Do I trust my doctor? Of course, my doctor is doing their best to keep me healthy and alive.

I trust my doctor with my life. This is normal.

Apparently, some have been sold doubts about people who train only to heal you. This is not normal.

There is nothing normal about distrusting doctors. They have trained their entire adult lives to keep you alive and healthy. Doctors are on your side.
