 I think there's no point in going into the subject of covid which seems to be a sensitive topic for some people, but in general I really don't understand the critisim of doctors and the medical community's handling of it. They're just normal people who got vaccinated like everyone else. If there's a problem with the vaccine they and their families will be affected too. 
It's not that medicine is moving slowly, I just don't think there are any major discoveries that would have a huge impact. I think they are mainly working on protocols and guidelines for the management of pathologies. And big pharma is mainly working on targeted therapies in the form of antibodies that will target specific proteins in tumors.
I'm still watching the video I will tell what I think about it tomorrow.
