Dr. Ardis interview

[DDZ]

I guess I didn't know he wasn't an MD either at first. I do know that his profession still requires 8 years of schooling.  Just because someone is an MD doesn't mean they are all knowing.
My general practicing doctor that I go to for check ups and such, didn't know very much at all about lyme disease, which I knew more about than him, and actually educated him some on lyme disease. Since I had a bout of it, and was treated by a lyme literate doctor. 
24 years ago when I knew something was wrong with me, I went to 3 or 4 specialists, like a cardiologist, a gastroenterologist, a ear nose and throat specialist, and a couple regular doctors. Not one of them suggested I had lyme or even suggested a lyme test. This went on for 5 months as my condition worsened. One idiot even suggested I see a neurologist, meaning I was imagining my symptoms.  It was my own father who had no medical training, but lots of common sence, suggested I go get a lyme test.  the ear nose and throat doctor was ready to operate on my sinuses, because I went to him for the ringing in my ear, which was one of the many symptoms I had. I found out I had lyme the day before the operation, and to this day I never had to have the sinus operation.  So yes just because someone has MD behind their name, doesn't mean they know what the heck they are doing.   
The medical doctor profession is like any other profession. You have some people that are good at it, and some that are not.  In fact most of the the time you go to a doctor with an ailment. You have to tell them what you have, because they sure don't know. Most of them are just good at writing out prescriptions that they make money by doing.  Sorry to be so long winded, but just saying. Not all MD's are good at what they do. I think to be good in any profession one has to have a combination of intelligence and common sense. Lots of intelligent people, but seriously I wonder how some of them are able to operate a car to get to work.  Maybe  Ardis is one of those with intelligence and common sense, and is just able to figure things out.

“His profession requires eight years of schooling.”
Well, sorta kinda….

Chiropractors must earn a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree and get a state license. Doctor of Chiropractic programs typically take 4 years to complete and require at least 3 years of undergraduate college education for admission.

For comparison:

Doctors must complete a four-year undergraduate program, along with four years in medical school and three to seven years in a residency program to learn the specialty they chose to pursue. In other words, it takes between 10 to 14 years to become a fully licensed doctor.

Has this turned into a contest of who can find an unknown doctor with the best narrative of competing sides?

[darkgael]

TM7: You are at least as much a propagandist as anyone defending the official narrative.
You are very good at it.
You classify Dr. Dalton as a “normie” not willing to stray too far from the official narrative. Being normal does not mean he is wrong. Once you have pigeon holed him then we need not pay attention to him…..a version of argumentum ad hominem.
There is enough data now to doubt the pandemic (without the buzz of the L). There certainly is. And there is as much or more data that says the opposite.
You chose to believe one data set and ignore the other or do it seems.
Note: a good debater should be able to defend either side of an argument. Do you know enough to defend the pandemic…..even though you do not believe it.

Two points.
1. My step Dad would always play the devils advocate and argue the other side of the argument with me. Generally it was a lot of fun and rarely got heated. I miss him.
2. I have worked in quite a few doctors homes and some were geniuses in their field but did not have the sense to turn a screw driver. For instance a pathologist once explained to me he knew the flex exhaust hose from his dryer was supposed to go on the inside of the metal tube exiting his house but he could not get it to stay in there without it falling out...

Dee: you are correct. My apologies to the group. I will stop.

Dee: you are correct. My apologies to the group. I will stop.

LOL, I don't think anybody needs to apologize, and I don't think anyone is gonna convince the other their right.

They're so many opinions out there from "alleged experts" I don't think anybody knows the correct answer.
We do however know, that the government would lie, when the truth would sound better.
