You're essentially running into "the public good" versus your own good (or the good of your child). Healthcare professionals are a lot more like HR in these situations; they aren't your friend because they're really working for "the company". In this case, that company is the collective good - or their conception of it. Who determines that perception is a question no one is properly addressing anymore, and the last year and a half has only exacerbated and accelerated the disconnect.
A huge part of the disintegration of trust in medicine can be attributed to the disappearance of "the family/town doctor". When the same physician treated everyone in your family over the course of decades, there was a reasonable expectation that he or she would prioritize your individual health over mandates and narratives put forward by medical bureaucrats and big pharma executives. Now that most doctors are typically random and unfamiliar, they don't feel compelled by personal relationships to administer patient-first care. No, the job today is to apply the singular corporate-approved approach to every patient. If that means your child dies, so be it.
