I have been treated by very good doctors that smoke.

And also... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

I'm not sure why you are drawing a parallel to a good doctor that smokes.

I never said "Doctor Mike" is a bad doctor. I have no idea if he is a good or bad doctor.

Further, an ad hominem is when a person attacks someone's character without any base.

I wrote specifically about him not being at the forefront and questioning his values, as displayed by his actions during the pandemic. His actions were literally not in line with Covid guidelines. Those are guidelines that were formulated by hundreds (thousands?) of doctors, all of whom sought to be at the forefront of medical science during a pandemic.

As another user said, MRI scans not corresponding to brain activity is not really news, and in at least the part of the US I live in, MRI scans are not so easily recommended, especially since they're not covered by health insurance.

Dr. Amen should be called out, of course, but it doesn't mean a doctor is at the forefront for doing so.

There was never anything wrong with attending parties without masks so your low-effort ad hominem criticism is irrelevant and inaccurate.

I hate that this is what modern discourse has become. “This person once did something stupid so you clearly shouldn’t trust them.”

Meanwhile habitual frauds and incompetents get a pass because at least their stupidity is consistent.

Wow a masking-maximalist in 2025! I admire your tenacity!
