It’s because they’re the kind of stupid that follows in-group beliefs more than verifiable reality. We’re all susceptible to overly weighing what our in-group says, but some people take it to dangerous levels.
And also there are grifters taking advantage of them.
My formerly happy in-group had a former army medic and current RN that fully supported all the crazy Republican COVID bullshit, while actively seeing those “treatments” do absolutely nothing at her job every fucking day.
Not all doctors and nurses are smart just because they graduated. Like with any job that requires a lot of memorization, some people memorize well but can’t actually problem solve in the real world beyond it. You’d think a former Army Medic and Trauma RN wouldn’t fall for that shit, yet there she is to this day still.
My experience is that nurses are not particularly intelligent or even that well-educated. Which isn’t to say that they are less intelligent or less educated than the average person–moreso that they are very much the average person.
from what ive gathered, nurses in many areas have a huge shortage, so they waive some certain programs for them to get an RN license asap. so many fall through the cracks, especially in rural and red areas. i think more blue areas have more stringent rules. also the smart ones are doing travelling nursing anyways.
Doctors, is probably harder to tell, probably dont want a passing grade average doctor, over one that top grades and successful clinical experience, or research(if they done that).
additionally ones from elitist colleges, like harvard, stanford, yale? etc, produce elitist doctors, and many of them have that attitude, i have heard some employers wont hire some of these graduates either. i remember an article where someone complained about a yale.harvard doctor on yelp about his shady pratices, and he decided to sue the reviewer. some doctors are extremely jaded to thier patients, they ignore thier concerns.

I’m happy my in-group has an actual doctor. I love being able to ask her random questions and verifying things I’ve heard.

Obligatory old joke:
Q: What do you call the student who graduated last in their class at med school?
A: “doctor”

Doctors are very hit or miss.
