Physicians, general practice medical doctors, are the most shameless exploiters or other people's work.
Example. You contract Ebola and are infected. Your doctor gives you a shot. You recover. Who saved you? For simple people, the answer is the doctor that stabbed you. But did he make the vaccine? No, he used the research of a virologist that solved the weaknesses of the Ebola virus. He used the pharmaceutical company that did the trials and human experiments to prove that the dosage and compounds were safe or safe enough. He is merely the vaccine pusher, in the strictest sense. His knowledge of whether or not you'd recover is a reading of the pharmacological information provided with the dose. In other words, a crap shoot. I know statistics, if mortality rate with a vaccine is 10% then he expects to lose 10 in a hundred. He can't tell you who or when. How miraculous is that?
The doctor gets to look good but he didn't do the work. General practice physicians make millions of dollars a year and save maybe a few hundred people a year. Virologists struggle for years to get funding, and in the end can save millions of people. Why?
Look at why this is on my previous post here. Most people are thinking about the short term selfish horizon. They appreciate people that help their best interest. But who helps society the most?
