That's interesting and something I've heard from people in health care. It seems to me that during the pandemic we learned that many if not most are following protocols and there is a strong culture of follow the leaders. Very little don't trust, verify. Those types probably exist but they will be more likely to be ostracized. Those humans that just have to know for themselves and do not care if it is popular or accepted are rare. They are the ones we read about in history.

Most of our doctors don't seem to understand physical health at all, so I'm not surprised that it holds for practitioners of the mental arts.
