American Academy of Sleep Medicine calls for elimination of daylight saving time:
The AASM supports a switch to permanent standard time, explaining in the statement that standard time more closely aligns with the daily rhythms of the body's internal clock. The position statement also cites evidence of increased risks of motor vehicle accidents, cardiovascular events, and mood disturbances following the annual "spring forward" to daylight saving time.
"Permanent, year-round standard time is the best choice to most closely match our circadian sleep-wake cycle," said lead author Dr. M. Adeel Rishi, a pulmonology, sleep medicine and critical care specialist at the Mayo Clinic in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and vice chair of the AASM Public Safety Committee. "Daylight saving time results in more darkness in the morning and more light in the evening, disrupting the body's natural rhythm."
[...] "There is ample evidence of the negative, short-term consequences of the annual change to daylight saving time in the spring," said AASM President Dr. Kannan Ramar. "Because the adoption of permanent standard time would be beneficial for public health and safety, the AASM will be advocating at the federal level for this legislative change."

You can find doctors claiming that lockdowns are in your best interest. If you have money, you find those that espouse the take you wish to promote, and give them airtime.

And yet, none promotes the benefits of injecting bleach into the lungs. None.

Well, there is one who knows more than the doctors. And the generals, and the climate scientists, and well just about everybody. A real stable genius you might say.
