Except they were right. With the recent admission that the virus is airborne it is obvious that 99% of masks used by the public were useless, as all health officials first stated before mandating them. Same as social distancing, disinfecting surfaces... All unnecessary theatre
And just the "if you have COVID stay at home for 10 days and do NOTHING, unless you start feeling very unwell" is pretty bad advice anyway, I will always prefer to have any existing working treatment for other virus than nothing
So everyone else be hold accountable, not doctors trying to do the best

- _-david-_ 5y agoThe official position was not that the average mask worn by the public was useless, but that masks were. If a doctor suggested a properly fitted n95 protects against covid they would have been spreading information that was contrary to the the governments position. I am not sure the purpose of your link. The WHO was very slow in accepting the virus is airborne. Surely that should show that doctors who are against the authorities are sometimes correct and by removing their license you would be in the wrong.
