The greater fault, I think, lies in the medical community. Doctors had a moral obligation to refuse to carry out immoral orders and a responsibility to actively and publicly resist these. That they allowed the technocrats in various "governing bodies", such as AHPRA, to compel them to give certain medical advice and not give other medical advice puts them all to shame.
The entire medical industry is built on trust. It may well be that that trust was ill deserved for some time, if not all time, but the relationship of trust is intrinsic to doctor patient. If you cannot trust your doctor to give advice based upon what is in your best interest, without any fear or favor or compulsion from outside sources, then you cannot trust anything they say, even if what they say is correct. For those who know that their doctors are compromised, their trust is broken, possibly irreparably. For those who do not know that their doctors are compromised, the doctors are committing a knowing fraud against them, at the very least the doctor must clearly state that the advice they are giving is compelled by an outside agency through threats against his livelihood to give the patient certain advice and not other advice. The doctor knows, they all know what happens to any who stray.
It should also be worth noting that any medical personnel that did not take bribes, but spoke out got their licenses revoked.
''Do not listen to the doctors who have nothing to gain, but everything to lose -- listen to the ones who get kickbacks by pharma companies.'' And the fucking NPC's didn't find even such a direct statement in any way suspicious.
