The following is from MedPage.
Trust in physicians and hospitals decreased sharply during the Covid-19 pandemic, and higher levels of trust were tied to greater odds of getting vaccinated for Covid-19 or influenza, according to a survey study of U.S. adults.
Among over 400,000 unique respondents, the proportion of adults who agreed they had “a lot of trust” in physicians and hospitals declined from 71.5% in April 2020 to 40.1% in January 2024, reported Roy Perlis, MD, MSc, of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and colleagues in JAMA Network.
In regression models, factors associated with lower trust as of the spring and summer of 2023 included being 25 to 64 years of age, female gender, lower educational level, lower income, Black race, and living in a rural setting. Even when the researchers controlled for partisanship, these associations persisted.
“We were surprised by the magnitude of the shift,” Perlis told MedPage Today. “I think early in the pandemic trust likely increased above pre-pandemic levels, but it certainly came way down over the course of the pandemic.”
Not surprisingly, high levels of trust in physicians and hospitals were associated with greater odds of getting vaccinated for Covid-19 (adjusted OR 4.94, 95% CI 4.21-5.80) and influenza (aOR 5.09, 95% CI 3.93-6.59) compared with having no trust at all. Greater trust also increased the odds of receiving a Covid-19 booster (aOR 3.62, 95% CI 2.99-4.38).
Even reporting “some” trust was associated with higher odds of getting a Covid-19 vaccine (aOR 2.48, 95% CI 2.12-2.90) versus having no trust.

Pretty much gone are the days when doctors were independent small businessmen; now they’re largely employees of Big Pharma. The message was made clear during the Covid scam: either tow the line or we’ll pull your license.
And even when they are independent , small businesses men, that guarantees nothing; they will throw you out of their office in Beverly Hills simply because you didn’t cow & get the jab.
I speak from personal experience; that was me. I for one don’t trust the bastards anymore.
You trust someone who bought into the Big Pharm “covid” scam and you were wiling to go along with them and sign up for an untested drug injection? I would only trust a doctor who did NOT push the covid scam.
A doctor who said, let’s wait and see. Too much missing data and corroboration to make any decision right now. That is the doctor you trust.
I don’t get it. No wonder our national politics are such looney tunes.
When these puppets start telling the truth is the only way that trust will be regained. Their actions or lack of action cost a lot of injuries , disablement and deaths. These people made the soup and now they have to eat it!
I believe the trust went down when so many were having side effects from the shot, from the devastation of the lockdowns and the promise that the shot would prove effective against the so called pandemic. These doctors that push these shots then deny the side effects originated from the shots. This caused more undue harm to their patients. Then these were labeled as psychotic and prescribed meds.
Doctors who decided to do their own due diligence and look critically at these shots were censored and vilified as misrepresenting “the science”. These same doctors were saving lives where others were trusting the pharmaceutical companies for their information. The hospitals were making money off the protocols that were killing so many. It was never about saving lives and many are now realizing this. It was about profit. Our healthcare system is not about health. It should be called managed sickcare or deathcare. There is no profit in making people well. What happened to the doctor’s oath to do no harm, it rarely exists anymore because medical schools are controlled and funded by pharmaceutical companies. Pill pushers are what doctors have become. What is more frightening is the fact pharmaceuticals can be fast track and pushed through by the prep and care act. How many lives need to be destroyed before we wake up to this new reality.
They are too busy signing up patients for the up coming Presidential election instead of practicing medicine. https://freebeacon.com/elections/meet-the-little-known-activist-group-that-has-tens-of-thousands-of-doctors-registering-patients-to-vote/

Gee! This is an amazing conclusion. The survey found Trust in doctors fell over 30%.
One wonders why. After all anyone can make a mistake.
Doctors said masks would work; doctors said 12 feet was the perimeter where the virus (after 12 feet) would not go. Doctors saw nothing wrong with Zoom teaching. Doctors often advocated that kids should stay inside. And, of course, doctors claimed and guaranteed that not only was the Covid vax “safe and effective”-but that their boosters were just as “safe and effective.
As I said “one wonders.” Yes, one wonders why the disillusion with doctors was a bit over 30%?
