Following the flowchart keeps you from getting sued.
BINGO. There is no better way to strike terror into hearts than to threaten a lawsuit. And malpractice insurance premiums are already astronomical. If a doctor can say "I was following NIH guidelines to the letter," that gives him or her a defense in court.
This was why my local school district mandated masks on all the kids last year. They all knew it was bullshit, maybe some of them even knew it was child abuse. But they mandated it because the school district's LAWYERS advised them to. If someone got sick and sued the school, the school could say, "hey, we were in 100% compliance with the governor's guidelines." And that would get them off the hook.
Solzhenitsyn said in 1978 that as much as he loved the freedom of America, he was grieved that our country was overly litigious, everybody suing everybody over every damn little thing. He said it would be the death of this country.
