Of the two posts that preceded my comment, which one mentioned Bernie?Edit: I see you edited.
CNN now:
"While it's important to believe doctors, there is a long history of presidents not being honest about their health and using doctors for political reasons."
Ok. Now why can't this work both ways?
You can't chant "believe the science" when it works for your side, and claim "They are lying to us" when it doesn't.
Either you trust a doctors statements, or you don't.

has to do with context. skepticism toward an official statement by a person who happens to be a doctor does not equate to skepticism toward medical science
Doctors are converyers of medical wisdom, though.
Doubting Trumps doctors words is akin to admitting doctors can be pressured by political concerns. That being the case, it casts doubt on the entire information disseminating process.
Who can be pressured, and who is honest enough to resist pressure for the common good?

seems like a slippery slope fallacy. doctors are human beings and under extreme individual pressure like this could easily tell what they see as a "noble lie" or just do what they're told by their boss, which is something else humans typically do

All too true, unfortunately. About human nature.
There's this other thing they said nagging at me. Trumps doctor said he refuses to go into details on his treatment. The host on CNN asked "WHAT??!: in shock.
Now, is he even ALLOWED to discuss details? I thought they were bound by confidentiality agreements.

Dated but still relevent Times article, on Donald Trump ans CNN's symbiotic relationship with each other.
In the Times words, CNN was "struggling for survival" before Trump brought his one man reality TV show personality into the presidential race.
Makes you wonder what happens to CNN's future, when Trump is finished as president.

LMAO @ anyone at CNN accusing others of not being honest. 😂
Originally posted by cdtmThe thing about medical science is it's been tested, verified, debated and replicated with controlled variables and can be replicated again by anyone given the right conditions according to the theories already established.

That's why it's called science.
