Yes Juan,
It is shameful that national NHS "leaders" are bullying their staff.
That narcissistic attitude is already taken over by the work force: "General practice threatens
to withhold repeat prescriptions until patients have flu vaccine".
And it is not only about power: “Unfortunately this is - about cash."

Social media is also used to bully people into submission: https://twitter.com/DocBastard/status/919178016445616128

This kind of behaviour is condoned by regulatory bodies, like the GMC (General Medical Council in the UK).
All health care "professionals" do not do their duty, health care workers (HCW) don't provide SDM
for the flushot, because (apart from the money) they do not understand the evidence themselves,
they know they don't know and pretend ignorance.
In the meantime with massive marketing campaigns, by creating "estimates" from surrogate end points,
intense lobbying and creating fear to speak out through bullying, a global market is established.
And all the great and the good in EBM won't speak out either, in order to maintain their jobs.
This process to curb freedom is described in the book "Animal Farm" by George Orwell.

I am interested in normalising common infectious diseases and supporting life style choices with shared decision making (SDM) and trying to avoid pharmacological intervention options.
Medicine focuses on symptom control rather than the developmental benefits (life style choices) from disease.
Infectious diseases ("Virolution" & microbiome) and life events
can have developmental benefits but medicine, in my opinion, stigmatises patients
with labels such as anxiety and depression and constantly spreads pandemic fears.
