Is This a Giant Game of Briarmanship?

This is a giant game of brinkmanship, and they are trying to use fear and intimidation to suppress the truth. And yet, it's hard to see the way forward because there are at least implicit threats that if a doctor says the wrong thing, he could get in serious trouble. So i don't expect to see the establishment say, you know something, we got it wrong. I think it'll be a cold day in hell before that happens.
