I feel the covid fearmongering by governments, medical companies, medical authorities, and the media has made public discourse in general (let alone specifically medical) even more prohibitive.
Today, we aren't supposed to question or otherwise so much as discuss something if it goes against or strays from any established narratives. At one point, so much as uttering the word "corona" could get you silenced by the powers-that-be regardless of the context.
This is all ridiculous because the foundation of science (protip: medicine is a science) is to always remain skeptical and engage in rich discourse. Blind trust in science is no different from worshipping a religion or cult.
We are the Galileo against the Church's Geocentric Model, but far more precarious and farther gone.
