In the first instance, doctors may choose to get vaccinated to protect themselves. They will hope it protects others too, but it's too early to tell - we don't know. They may still carry the virus in their nasal mucosa, on their hands, clothing or desks etc. The main thing until proven otherwise is to wear the correct ppe and engage in safe practices. A vaccinated doctor may not get sick because of you, but they may still be able to transmit the virus to a person who has not been vaccinated.

Why bring Louis Pasteur into it?
Maybe because he was a pioneer of best practice in his time.
If you can drag up ancient history to try to prove a point, why can't others?
And I will guarantee that Pasteur's practices have more adherents than the people you link when trying to make a point. With the emphasis on 'trying', in both meanings of the word.

Huh? I don't use that criteria to choose my doctor.
I'm the same as you on that one icyfroth, I wouldn't use that as an influencer. But thinking more on this, a doctor that decided against taking the vaccine would be someone who thinks independntly and less likely to be a drone or salesman for big pharma. Yes, some are and some have been "sprung" in the past. That's another story for another topic.
I want the doctor who is going to look at the bigger picture and give me the best for my buck.
Actually, 4channeI think it would be mandatory for any medical professional to be vaccinated against infectous diseases, otherwise they would not be permitted to work with the general public.

I don'tt knock Pasteur. Like Nikoa Tesla, Maadame Curie, he did some very important work.
Those mentioned people had motives to serve mankind unlike the hyper-profit at-any-cost-driven mega-businesses of today.
BTW: That's not why you brought Pasteur into this. What you said below suggests that you had another motive.

Of course, you might well consider that Loius Pasteur was a captive of 'big pharma'. If 'big pharma' existed in the 19th century. And Pasteur's discoveries hadn't saved millions of lives.
I wouldn't consider such a thing. I wouldn't even consider putting an idea like that on someone else. I'd just try to debate them.
Nice attempt at a diversion davewil1964?
I wonder if one of your lot will be along to defend you soon?

Yes I think it will be so icyfroth. Are we entering a brave new age?
BTW: Here is a colour version of a classic film.

What diversion?
I'm just applying the principles you consider reasonable to your own 'arguments'.
If, of course, you consider you are the only one allowed to provide extraneous conspiracy theories as 'proof' of your stances, then you've got me dead to rights.
You do claim to have an open mind, so surely other people dragging up irrelevent sources to support a case wouldn't be an issue. You do it all the time, so you surely can't claim that others doing it is anything other than fair.

Q:What diversion?
A: You're the driver
Where on this thread are these conspiracy theories you talk of davewil1964?

Here's one. Of many. Where you consider a doctor's non-adherence to acceptable standards to be a plus.
There are may other instances.
You really need to look at what you have posted before posting stuff that doesn't align with what you've previously posted.
It shows either an inability to know what you think, or a deliberate attempt to sow dissention.
