Is there a government intervention reason, why doctors blindly follow the CDC's vaccine schedule without question?

 

What's even more bizzarre is that they change it almost every year now...and docotors talk about it as though each year that particular schedule is tried and true and its been like that for years....

 

its as though they completely forget that there's a new schedule year after year....

sort of like that 1984 book...where history is always rewritten...and everyone acts as though it was that way for ever...when in fact it'll change weekly...

Real simple.  Doctors spend 6 years in undergraduate and medical school  (Needlessly in my opinion when they could just show up at a hospital and apprentice their way to a medical degree.) and 3 to 6 more years in a residency.  The amount of loans on this tasks is now over $100,000 on average.  The product of all this is a government permission slip called a medical license.  Doctors have two options on paying this debt off:  1. Give up freedom for years in service of the government, or 2. Pay back loans using the license to practice medicine. 

 

So doctors become very concerned about this license as it is the only way they are allowed to practice their craft.  So they will not rock the boad in any way as the govenrment at any time for any reason can take that license.
