When an MD reveals a lack of awareness or interest in something MANY patients have taken the time to learn about intensively, how many patients have the pluck to try to educate their own doctor at a visit? Very few. My pcp was very enthused about the jabs in 2021and couldn't understand why I would refuse. I tried to tell him about Ivermectin and the concerns raised about adverse events by an esteemed doctor named McCullough. His response was brusk and annoyed. "Ivermectin doesn't work and this Dr McCullough doesn't know what he's talking about."

Did I argue? No. Most doctors won't stand to be corrected by a patient. I didn't argue, I walked. I found a better informed physician for my primary care needs.

I am a practicing cardiologist. I believe the low incidence of cardiologists finding myocarditis include:

1. Myocarditis more common in young people who dont consider the possibility of a heart problem.

2. If they suspect a cardiac problem, certain degree of denial.

3. If they are concerned enough, they are readsured by primary care provider and never get to cardiologist.

4. If they get to cardiologist, a lot of myocarditis is subclinical. It does not register on traditional tools like ECG or echocardiogram.

5. Cardiac MRI not widely available everywhere or not considered due to other screening tools being negative.

6. Mass delusion effect pervading medical system.

7. "Those who have ears to hear, hear" and those who are part of delusion never suspect so they dont see.
