Are these med students independently wealthy? Are they secure in the knowledge that Eric Ding or Tyler Black are hiring? Ding has his own grift to maintain, he's not going to help people who are attacking Leanna Wen and now this doctor. A lack of self awareness and self preservation

I’m under the impression that the real bad actors here are other MDs and public health types who have built followings on promoting persistent covid catastrophism.

The med students jumping in are imitating their bad actor role models, they should know better too, but they are a little less culpable given their inexperience.

If you can pass an MCAT, had straight A's in school , and want to be a doctor, you need to have some sense.

Sadly the MCAT and the A’s are common among med students, but a lot of them have to work so hard at it that they never had any time to develop much sense. The only people excluded from the damage of the GPA and MCAT armed race are the naturally talented. The rest are basically working themselves to rrobotitude in an effort to beat the other average applicants which leads to everyone dumping more and more time into application polishing while growing up.
