The delusions of doctors

The delusions of doctorsWhen a doctor stands on a public stage and proclaims that the COVID-19 vaccine has caused cancer it is, to say the least, problematic.It takes acres of words and mountains of outrage to row it back, no matter how delusional the claim.This falls into a phenomenon sometimes known as Brandolini's law or the 'bullshit asymmetry' principle. 1 It takes an order of magnitude more energy to refute misinformation.One response on social media caught my attention, and it was almost heartbreakingly nave, asking about a doctor's 'oath' and how this was surely breaking it.
