Covid has made me lose all faith in the medical community.

"The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental or spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest."

John Stuart Mill

Follow the incentives.. often, but not always, money. FYI this was a big story in July when it was found.. so much so, that the AAP removed Pfizer from their donor page. New page is here: https://www.aap.org/en/philanthropy/corporate-and-organizational-partners/current-partners/

But you can find Pfizer using internet archive / wayback machine. The screenshot is legit - I saw it myself before they removed the logo due to this spreading on twitter

“I have never known much good done by those who affected to trade for the public good.”

-Adam Smith

Whenever someone or some group claims to be disinterestedly acting for “social justice”, or “the poor”, or for “the children”, view them with an especially wary eye and grab your wallet…

Always ask, “Cui Bono?” regarding the policies they push (purportedly altruistically).

The American Academy of Pediatrics, like the American Medical Association, is a clown show.

Det. Lester Freamon:

You follow drugs, you get drug addicts and drug dealers. But you start to follow the money, and you don't know where the f*** it's gonna take you.

Right. They told us once before that if people got vaxxed, they could doff the mask. CDC and co. are Lucy, normalcy is the football, and we’re all Charlie Brown.

They have no authority over children. Parents need to homeschool. Those who don't will suffer the consequences of declined mental health for their children

Fab find! Following the money always an eye opener. Folks would be shocked to learn that many official mouthpieces like AMA are not medical groups but lobbyists advocating for the members.

Welcome to the club of individuals who realize that the term "healthcare" is a misnomer. Medicine has long traded improved health (short term income potential) for continued care for chronic (worsening) health conditions (long-term income).

Nutritionists are equally corrupt. Look up Brenda Fettke or Dr. Chris Knobbe.

Saturated fat is NOT the cause of heart disease.

Toxic seed oils (aka vegetable oils) are highly oxidative, when it is being processed, while sitting in bottles on the shelves and even when it is in your cell membranes, negatively impacting your mitochondria function.

If we kicked the nutritionist and food pyramid and their garbage message to the curbs, the need for "healthcare" would plummet.

Well that was exposed. I wonder what other ties these big pharma companies have with federal officials etc. Every time I turn on the TV I see their ties to the media when commercials come on.

Also, the child-muzzling fan AAP had Dr. Maldonado as Chairperson of the Infectious Diseases. She’s working on the Pfizer vaccine trials for children. The perfect business, guaranteed sale$.

I'm usually scrupulous about what I share until I've verified it but I let my guard down on this one and someone called me on it. Pfilzer hasn't contributed to the AAP in years. We need to be careful about falling into the trap we warn others about. https://www.aap.org/en/philanthropy/corporate-and-organizational-partners/current-partners/
