Couldn’t disagree more.
Medicine and the real world are inextricably intertwined. To advocate for our patients is to engage beyond simple academia.
Essentially, this article argues we should remain detached in our ivory towers. THAT is what causes decreased trust.

Thanks for speaking up.
The problem with activism is that people usually perform very badly at that. They try to convince people that their preferred action is "follow the science" even when it is not.
I don't know if they do this deliberately, but their shtick is old.
What if other professional scientists with appropriate qualifications and training existed?
Also agree 100%
