Late last week, Thomas Friedman published an opinion piece in The New York Times titled "Beirut's Blast Is a Warning for America." The subhead says, "In this country, as in Lebanon, everything is now politics."
Friedman intones ominously, "(W)hen everything is politics, everything is just about power.
California decriminalized marijuana for medical purposes, and despite a Supreme Court decision upholding Congress's constitutional power to criminalize marijuana nationally, other states have followed suit.
The same can be said about medical treatments for the virus.
Every red flag should go up when the national media decides to make medical opinions on the efficacy of certain treatment methodologies a referendum on Donald Trump.
If you want people to heed your professional opinion, don't tie your professional opinion to your politics.
If you tie your professional opinion to your politics, don't complain when those who don't agree with your politics don't take your professional opinion seriously.
