I'm not a native English speaker, so there may be some nuance I miss out on. But as far as I can tell, the implication of what you wrote was

  • "Cuba is isolated because it wants to be"
  • "Doctors are fleeing Cuba in large numbers"
  • "Conditions are bad in Cuba"
  • "The US gets alot of doctors from abroad"

I have good knowledge on point 1, limited knowledge on points 2&4, and somewhat decent info about point 2. I'm not disputing points 2,3&4.

Some real death of the author type shit. I said only number 4 and I agree with your positions. I'm sure you know that questions aren't statements.

I am disagreeing with them about Cuban doctors. I think the Cuban embargo is an atrocity and a disgrace and that the US (as an American) has many doctors from different nations so why does the small number of Cuban doctors matter.

Again, the only implication you listened that's true is number 4 and that's because it's not an implication, I actually said that.
