Why Are Doctors Not Speaking Up?

Why Are Doctors Not Speaking Up?
We are seeing the same playbook again.
The UK government is moving ahead with the mandatory addition of synthetic folic acid to non-wholemeal wheat flour.
This will affect far more than bread. Flour is hidden in many everyday foods, from pasta and baked goods to sauces, processed foods, and even some sausages.
A population-wide mandate will affect people very differently, including those with cancer, stents, vitamin B12 deficiency, or those taking certain medications, all on the National Health Website (although they did try to hide it and were caught)
So where are the doctors?
Where are the oncologists asking what this means for cancer patients?
Where are the cardiologists asking what this means for patients with stents or cardiovascular risk?
Where are the neurologists speaking up for people with B12 deficiency, where folic acid can mask a serious problem?
Doctors have a duty to speak up in the name of patient safety, especially when a policy applies to millions of people regardless of individual risk.
Blanket mandates…. Are they ever the right answer to a complex problem.
And of course, the old media is not coving this story.
If you are in the UK, please read, sign, and share the petition calling for this mandate to be reviewed:

Until professionals are ready to live up to their Hippocratic oath not only will actions like this be allowed to stand, but there is nothing to prevent another 2020-21 pandemic from reoccurring. The people we depend on to watch out for us do not have our best interest in mind because they are concerned about their own careers and financial security. On the one hand, you can’t blame them, but on the other, what does it say about where these professions have gone? And the fact that leaders like Fauci can knowingly lie to Congress and facilitate the deaths of thousands of people with no repercussion means nothing is going to change. Thank God for the IMA and the professionals within that strive to place those they serve above themselves. It is only through their example and actions we can hope to restore some semblance of integrity to the medical profession.
