Sounds like he might have been on the verge of demonstrating rational judgement or actually following the science and needed some emergency re-education... 😮

I thought being mentally disordered was just part of working for FDA.

in most states, it is really hard to have someone hauled off to psych facility. I believe it involves a court order, multiple psych eval's and likely some involvement from the family. very odd. there's more to it not yet if ever available.

how can they tell the difference from the rest of them?

I feel ambivalent chuckling about this because what if he’s getting the discrediting treatment they reserve for those who suddenly develop a conscience and are in danger of whistleblowing? One ethical person in a roomful of sociopaths would certainly threaten their racketeering scam. We also know they haven’t hesitated to pull the neuropsych card on doctors of conscience like Meryl Nass.

Anyone sensing a “mysterious suicide” in his future? Complete with broken cameras and sleeping guards. But then maybe I’m crazy in thinking this? Uh oh.

Maybe I'm reading this the wrong way? Everyone seems to be chuckling with schadenfreude at this guy. Doesn't this look more like a whistleblower or dissenter being silenced with forced commitment, something most people would rightly fear?

“15 minutes later I saw bright red and blue lights (I may have the colors wrong) outside the house and then EMTs in our house who started to ask me to please come with them,” Siegel wrote in the note, more than a week after his hospitalization. “Thinking I was being asked to go voluntarily I politely declined. They insisted. Finally, they turned me around in the steps of my front hallway on Moorland Lane, handcuffed me, forced me unto a gurney, tied me down, took me in the ambulance to the hospital.”

One neighbor who received the missive via Nextdoor expressed concern about Siegel’s ability to do his job, given that Siegel also wrote that he makes ‘major decisions that impact on public health.'”

Sounds a bit like what happened to Dr Mel Bruchet in Canada.

Wasn't Winston Smith hospitalized against his will...?

So weird that Nextdoor is becoming the neighborhood app to learn about your local mental health issues. I can think of 4 local situations where either behaviors were described or where the mentally ill person him/herself was posting. Guess it’s going to become more prevalent as the vax related neuro issues take hold.

And another one gone, and another one gone, another whistleblower bites the dust...
