I think an important question is which doctors?
I know a guy who got vaccinated, had had covid, and ended up not being able to breathe if he even walked briskly
He saw 5 different doctors/specialists to try to find out what the issue was (I.e. what the damage was and whether it was caused by covid, the vaccine, or both) and got 5 different opinions

I think it's also a problem of definitions
We might have different ideas of what capitalism means, and self-diagnosis of medical issues like ADHD is a slippery area

Well like I say, there's communication borne out of a spirit of respectful negotiation, and there's demanding things from people who have no contract with you. Twitter is particularly notorious for the mob-like demands often made on the platform
Nietszche talked about how "In individuals, insanity is the exception rather than the rule. With crowds, it is the opposite". I'm paraphrasing somewhat but you get the point

As I indicated on another recent post, a job is not made invalid or valid because of people saying so. A job is made valid if one party will voluntarily pay money for the goods or services of another party, and the contract is carried out in good faith by both parties
The "free market at work" is simply you choosing to buy or not buy a product or service, and negotiating with the other party involved can be a healthy part of the process
To make demands regarding a deal with which you are not involved is more like activism. Which might well be beneficial in some cases, but if you're not careful it can look like so-called "cancel culture"

I think it's logical to assume that removing a book from the reading list of a state-run school is significantly different from asking (or demanding, as much of twitter seems to be doing) what a private company does with one of their employees or contractors
Conflating the two would commit the logical fallacy of false equivalence

Iirc, the reason is that citizens have freedom of speech, while the government does not
State run schools thus do not have freedom of speech

It's economically illiterate to imply that jobs are valid because of someone affirming that they are valid with words, rather than people voluntarily paying money for the goods or services
But yes, I get that this is a meme
