Here’s Why Trump’s COVID Diagnosis Was A Disaster

  • President Trump was diagnosed with COVID-19. Even though it’s been several days now, and we’ve known this was possible for months, it’s still so bizarre to read. Unfortunately, the tragedy of COVID-19 does not just stop at the infection of people like Donald Trump, but rather extends to the megaphones of our most mainstream media outlets. I’ve been in more Twitter feuds over the last week than I have been in my entire life on the platform, arguing with contributors to outlets like CNN, The Washington Post, and Fox News, among others. It seems to me that this virus and our political vitriol towards each other has caused us to lose all sense of logic and decency. From criticizing DO’s (Doctor’s of Osteopathic Medicine) for being inferior to asking doctors on TV to participate in “tabloid medicine”, I’m almost beginning to lose my cool. Today I walk you through what’s brought me to my breaking point.

      I understand why though that this really chilled teacher is being like this. He is FED UP with all this hypocrisy and bigotry that is occurring everyday with people who call themselves 'professionals'. Its a Insult To His Job that he has to correct other grown ups who should be fact based instead of rhetoric based. He is disgusted that he sees the doctors of trump covering up facts and still downplaying the COVID-19 Pandemic. He's very exhausted that Politics had to mix with Science during this Worldwide Health Crisis. I understand why he's angry. I agree with everything he said but we need to stop caring so much about the rest of the world because the world DOES NOT LEARN nor does it want to learn from their mistakes. Dr. Mike needs to stop caring so much about people and only care about the smart people. Because the smart people are going to be the True People who will survive this Pandemic in the end.

      Just an FYI, the "They're not sending their best" remark from Ryan Lizza is a reference to one of Trump's remarks at a rally in 2015 when he stated "When Mexico sends its people over [to the US], they're not sending their best."
      Not excusing or defending the remark, just explaining it isn't as insulting as it sounds

      @@rafaelhernandez6525 As a general rule, if someone is finding success in politics, they are not there to help other people.
      I often get labeled as 'alt right' because i put people before politics, and often times, that directly conflicts with left leaning view points.
      I oppose adopting the same single payer systems used by Canada or the UK, but i am not opposed to a system that would help people get the care they need (i work in medicine, i want to help people, but i want to do it right, not adopt feel good measures that look good in theory, but are terrible in practice).
      I also oppose affirmative action, especially in medicine. Affirmative Action is not a good thing, period. They lower the standards based on race, and this not only insults the intelligence of minorities like me, but puts patients at risk.
      My views are 'American' Center, but my views are based on long term, sustainable, policy, rather than 'look at me' policies that do more damage than they fix.

      I can honestly say as a former science journalist, it's not that they are trying to mislead - it's because they are mobile examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Some of us have actual training in science, technology, etc which makes it much easier to cover science and medicine and related areas. We know to check. But there are not many science journalists and pretty much no regular journos with backgrounds in sciences - and for COVID life sciences since what the hell would a physicist likely know about medical stuff? And people on social media have gotten really lazy and respond too quickly. I have even seen accredited medical doctors on twitter with no background in infectious diseases questioning the actual infectious disease experts, like a neurosurgeon would know more about pandemic control and COVID than an epidemiologist, for example. :( People need to check if they have no training in an area but so few people want to bother, journalists or not! It's laziness and reactivity and Dunning_Kruger effect, not mal intent in almost every case.

      @midorishiwa 3 роки тому +14

      So different networks will have very different opinions, and opinion columns or pieces are extremely biased. Traditional news outlets though also state facts, report on factual things. Often the facts that will be highlighted will be chosen because it aligns with a certain political line (for example, giving data on the percentage of Black people in prison vs giving data on the percentage of Black people being randomly stopped and searched). But the facts that are given have typically been checked and there's been multiple people who reviewed them. News outlets also have the duty to issue corrections when it turns out they said something false (not just an unpopular opinion but a fact that is demonstrably untrue). This oversight does not exist on places like UA-cam or blogs, or Twitter. Which is why the description of reputable UA-cam channels often contains many sources to back up the facts that they are bringing up. Viewers on UA-cam channels should make the extra effort of checking that there are reliable sources backing the facts used to build an argument. Whereas on traditional media it is more a matter of looking for other media to question the arguments or see a broader set of facts that could balance it, not checking whether the news anchor is outright making stuff up and lying.

I think its weird that DOs in america don't get MD because that would make it less confusing for people seeing as they have the exact same training and can give the same treatments as US MDs.

It's like a whole job here and even tho many people consider them as an alternative to doctors all they have to do, to be allowed to practition is: to be older than I think 25, having the lowest grade of school graduation (we have a threefold school system here🤦‍♀️), no criminal record + they need to take a test that basically consists of "if they seem very ill please send them to the real doctor"...

A pat on the shoulder just doesn't do it. The ones profiting from war and being treated like heroes are the people in high places, people who sit on their comfy office chairs and send out soldiers as if they were emotionless chess pieces. The working class, be it in minimum wage jobs, medical field or military, are always the ones paying the price for big people's decisions and it's truly sickening to watch.

    To see true composure... the blood rushing to the face, almost as if the heart has connected with, what you are saying. Eyes fully dilated, locked in on target. Almost like you are reading off of a screen.
    True Composure is a ... blessing ... to see. Thank you Doctor, Mikhail Varshavski (D.O.) completely agree with everything you said in this video. I appreciate the delivery of the message in and the topics involved in this video, as well.
    You sounded like a true leader in a position of "Power" I appreciate everything that was said and your stance on this pandemic (as a whole).
    Can I just take a second of your day? And say, Thank you?

    Thank you for being so PROFESSIONAL. This world lacks true professionalism.
    The lack of "Care of Oneself" lacks in this world. You showed your true character in this video.
    You showed great qualities. Qualities I look for (in a physician) like; Composure, Empathy, Truth, Facts, Body Language, Posture.
    Giving the "audience." The hypothetical patient that you are talking to. What you see as a "camera".
    The cold hard true FACTS.
    I want to take a second of your time and say thank you.
    I see the passion in what you are saying and the way you composed yourself was, with honest, bravery, and with obvious true intentions of just wanting to help.
    It really showed in this video...
    One of your best I would say.
    Great work! Great show of true character. A great video to capture the fire that drives your internal motor to... just want to help. A drive that should be in every doctor... not just a PHAT cheque.
    Your empathy for another person is unmatched in any "doctor" related digital media/shows I watch like ... House and Grey's Anatomy.
    When I get ask "who in my mind is the "right" Doctor?"
    I would give you a recommendation *HANDS DOWN*... even to Canadians. Just watch Doctor, Mikhail Varshavski (D.O.) content. YOUR UA-cam channel is run by amazing people for your amazing listeners..
    The facts are their.
    We just have to do the work... We have the strength to pick up a pen and write notes. But a lot of us, choose not to.... Why? (But that is a personal stance)
    I continue to search for those exactly same qualities in a "family" physician here in Ontario, No, Not the city in the "US." A province here in canada.
    As a 26 year old male from...Canada. I love your channel and it's content. It has become my most relied on source for reliable information in this pandemic.
    I was full against getting that vaccine. Hearing your passion today. Has made me think twice about saying "NO". Thank you for the thought of persuasion.
    I hope you have an amazing holiday season, Happy Hanukkah, I believe you said you were Jewish in one of your previous video. If so, Happy 8th day of Hanukkah.

Your videos stand out in stark contrast to the flood of media, saturated not only with political bias, but vicious hostility towards anyone who doesn't agree with them.
    You are an example that Journalism, Media, and Politics need to learn from. Definitely a refreshing rare experience!
