> One thing I learned from the pandemic is that not all health/medical professionals are created equal, and that there is a large portion of very specifically trained and fairly uneducated people in the medical community.

I have medical professionals in my family. Your statement sums it up. In my experience, physical/occupational therapists are the most likely to believe in crazy stuff (from a medical standpoint). RNs come next. I'm sure there are people in between on that spectrum, but I don't interact with them much.
