And I'd much rather the decision to trust doctors be made by the people to be affected, rather than politicians (who have not done any school / training in particular).
The "people to be affected" are the general public, who suffer when contagious diseases aren't treated properly, and the general public makes these decisions through elected politicians. Also, these decisions are frequently based on recommendations by administrators with degrees in Public Health.
