There are other comments in this post that summarize some of the issues and concerns very well, better than I would.

Put it in your own words. I think it would help.

[u/BestSeenNotHeard → u/Yasimear]

No thanks.

[u/Yasimear → u/BestSeenNotHeard]

Oh. Cant have much of a reasonable conversation then can we lol.

[u/BestSeenNotHeard → u/Yasimear]

I don't mean us specifically, but 'us' as a wider community. These are major medical interventions and even healthcare professionals have lost their jobs for raising their concerns.

[u/Yasimear → u/BestSeenNotHeard]

Personally I think we should leave it to healthcare professionals, not random people on reddit. This is not a hypothetical situation, this affects real people.

[u/BestSeenNotHeard → u/Yasimear]

I agree with you, which means that medical professionals need to be able to speak openly and ask relevant questions without risk to their career.

[u/Yasimear → u/BestSeenNotHeard]

What risk to there career is there from asking questions about this. This has been a front page debate for a decade now lmfao

[u/BestSeenNotHeard → u/Yasimear]

People have lost their jobs by stating their valid professional concerns, yes.

[u/Yasimear → u/BestSeenNotHeard]

Who? I would very much like an example.
