In my never humble opinion, a large portion of upper level government employees are sociopaths, and many suffer from varying degrees of mental illness. The last few years have made it very clear that those in healthcare are not even close to immune. I have noted before that the person who graduated dead last in their medical school class, one point above failing is called "Doctor." Caveat emptor. YOU do have a choice.

Did you hear recently about the doctor who accidentally removed someone's liver instead of the spleen? That guy graduated med school!

They're really not teaching them anything anymore, they are slowly chipping away at education and teaching them how to 1) decide on the right medicines to address all problems 2) be extremely angry in response to any rational questions. i.e. they've become more arrogant than ever, even hostile.

Maybe they know a good half of the population consider them criminals. The ones who prescribed/advocated for the Experiment, that is.

There’s the top of med school, and there’s the bottom of med school. And they’re all called Doctor when they graduate! Take it from an MD.

Any doctor who removes the wrong organ is an alcoholic and very likely drunk while performing surgery. They can be amazingly proficient while drunk during their "functional" stage, which can last for decades.

A physician friend of my grandmother’s claimed at least three medical school classmates were certifiable …morons, is the term he used, if I recall correctly. He was in his 80s when I was in my 20s half a century ago.

I'm a retired physician and I'd say about 20% of docs have absolutely zero common sense. Doing well on exams in school isn't real life.

Seems like this all started happening right after the "balanced budget act" during the Clinton years.

It's like doctors and other healthcare professionals turned into lawyers overnight.

In other words, billable units became the focus...not individual care.

I guess that's why the first thing you do is fill out insurance paperwork. Seems like that's all they need to know now.

Expand full comment

It’s been a long time coming, but that was one impetus. US medicine has been captured by business, and most hospital systems are run by MBAs, who don’t know anything about clinical medicine, patient care, or doctor-patient relationships, but do know spreadsheets, leveraging, and maximizing profit. Obamacare put the system on steroids, and vastly increased government mandates and intrusion. Believe me, most MDs that I work with hate being made into paper pushers, but feel powerless to change the system.

It’s the triumph of the C students over the A students. And now with DEI, you don’t have to be an A student to be an MD.

Expand full comment

This is very true, unfortunately.

My friend went to med school before all this - and then, when she went out into the field to practice, this "billable" "insurance" "corporate" stuff crept in.

Thanks. Explains a lot about the pandemic. And why some really intelligent people bought in to the madness.

IMO, another angle is that some intelligent people who are constantly flattered for their status in this system, constantly implicitly and even explicitly told how special they are couldn't admit that the system is deeply wrong. Because if the system is deeply wrong . . then maybe they're not really that special.

I believed for a long time the phrase "public health" was National Socialist in origin, but when I went to my favorite Chatbot arena at https://koala.lmsys.org/ and posed this question--What is the origin of the phrase "public health"?--the responses from the two competing LLMs indicated the phrase/concept can be traced back to the Egyptians. Somehow, I find it hard to place proper sanitation (elegantly designed shitters a la the Romans) on the same continuum as vaxx-to-you-drop (never safe, hardly ever effective, but ALWAYS lucrative), but if competing AIs say it, it must be true (or a hallucination, or completely made up from whole cloth), or, more likely, a carefully fluffed history of self-congratulation that creates millions of jobs and whole highways of career paths.

I think I'll continue to think the goosesteppers coined the term. Makes it easier that way....

Public health improvements in the 19th and early 20th century were profound: indoor plumbing, water from a private tap instead of a communal bucket. For these we have engineers to thank as well as those giants of microbiology who identified actual modes of disease transmission and effective prevention. These range from hygiene to immunization. In the latter part of the 20th century and this one, thinking in public health has become polluted with ideas from sociology and worse, and it has become a cascade of diminishing returns.

Expand full comment

I would remove immunization from that list.

Expand full comment

Agreed. The damage from vaccination may ultimately have canceled out any good it might have done.

I've been reading the Substack by A Midwestern Doctor, who has gone back into historical documents regarding smallpox vaccination (variolation, inoculation, whatever) that are buried in print archives. The deaths, injuries, and "breakthrough" infections were obvious even then, except to the willfully-blind doctors who were making money off vaccines and to the fearful government officials.

And never forget how Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis was treated in the mid 1800s. I thought about that during Covidtime when the resistance doctors were warning us.

Expand full comment

They worked themselves out of a job, and went looking for new tasks. They turned individual health into some kind of public interest. Like attacking smoking, for example. They framed it in terms of statistics, then pretended that an aggregate of individual health outcomes was "public health." It's not. Then they get an actual virus that spreads from person to person and jumped at the chance to be relevant and important. They couldn't do that by accurately communicating the threat of covid, because then nobody would be scared enough to pay them any attention.

It is a money printer, nothing more. Rockefeller saw to it. His money bought opinion. He invested in pharmaceuticals. He started a campaign to delegitimize actual health care. And here we are.

"Public health" deserves zero respect because there is no such thing. There is only individual health.

OTOH, if what you mean by "public health" are the improvements in the living conditions, especially in large, crowded cities, then yes. Better living conditions bring better health outcomes for individuals.

Indoor plumbing has to be among the greatest inventions (not of public health) for the improvement of life and health in urban living conditions. We have inventors to thank for that, not the likes of Walensky, Varma, et.al in "public health." They're grifters...all of them.

Okay - hoping for a follow up article about the fallout from this. One never hears about what happens once these people are exposed. It's very unsatisfying. For instance, who has yet been held accountable for what they did to us during covid. There are supposedly lots of lawsuits happening but where are the results? You never hear about that. I agree we need more of this type of investigative journalism. We are where we are in part because people stopped being good journalists and instead became corporate shills for their bosses and printed whatever they were told to.

Expand full comment

Yes. Any drug capable of causing distortions of perception and memory in susceptible individuals. That clearly includes benzos. I am not certain of SSRIs, but it appears that way given the number of mass shooters who are on them (although I think most if not all of them are also alcoholics).

I've long said cocaine only appears as addictive as it does because, generally, only those predisposed to alcoholism try cocaine. And nearly every addict can become cross-addicted to other psychoactive drugs. In researching my books, I learned that 80% of addicts at the Betty Ford Center are cross-addicted; I suspect this is under-stated. Elizabeth Taylor famously went there for her pill addiction; two weeks in she announced, "Oh, I'm an alcoholic too!"

You are making sweeping global statements such as "only" and "all."

Learn about SSRI's, SNRI's, here: https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/why-are-antidepressants-so-harmful

People who take psych drugs (some estimates that 30% of adult American population takes some form of these - even if it is for incontinence, pain, nausea, IBS, etc.) lose touch with their feelings. It is why and how the drugs work. If you flatten all emotions, then - you don't hurt as much.

However, it also flattens other things such as causality & self responsibility. It can cause inner restlessness (akathisia) and dissociation & numbing. The combinations of all of these, and yes. You're talking problems.

Thank you for your reply. I haven't taken the time to re-read all the links, which I pretty sure I've read previously. :) I'm distressed about the election. The reality is that we are presented yet another superficial binary choice between two sides of the same government coin, between two candidates of mediocre intelligence and leadership abilities. But one of them will be our next president. IMHO, the biggest issue of the election is free speech. Which "side" condones and has practiced censorship when in power? Which "side" has received more intense scrutiny from the press? Which "side's" candidate was selected by a grassroots process that included We the People?

I was simply taken aback that this worked—when pharma’s offerings were worthless. Broke wrist 6/29/24—most unpleasant accident—and over next 11 days until surgery consumed quantities of wine which soothed both wrist and the hand/arm nerves which were “upset” by the trauma. Not much accustomed to having nerves be upset. Of the 10 narcotic pills provided at hospital, I took 3 total. And have refused any NSAIDs since.

What a scum-bag. On a related note, this film just became available yesterday on Vimeo. The crew followed Jay Battacharya around and did a great job of presenting just how corrupt Anthony Fauci --and the whole public health respnse--was. They also, I am proud to say, filmed a segment at our Free Speech in Medicine and Science Conference in 2022 (where Jay was the keynote speaker). The film is exceptionally well done.

Also recommended: RFK’s THE REAL ANTHONY FAUCI & THE WUHAN COVER-UP. Here’s an interesting fact from the latter—CEO of Moderna Stéphane Bancel was the CEO of bioMérieux when that company built the Wuhan Institute of Virology (p. 3, first reference).

I'll throw in a plug for Rand Paul's, "Deception: The Great COVID Cover-Up". It's a very well resourced book. Warning: do not read around breakable objects.

Battacharya is a syndicate scumbag, too.

No, he is not. I know him personally. Never met a man with more integrity. And he's brilliant to boot.

He was all in on giving the CONVID death shots, especially to the elderly.

I bet he has repented on that, Kevin.

Huh? You mean he works in public health?

I don't think Battacharya is a scumbag, but I doubt his brilliance. He does, after all, actually think there was a "pandemic."

Gosh--he still does? I have been pretty much unaware of him for the last 3 years.

As does Dr. McCullough. My "evil twin" wants to scream every time she hears/sees that word.

Do you suppose they are just playing politically-safe? For some odd reason--what would be the value now of continuing to voice the pandemic narrative?

If Varma went to prison it would be evidence of the effectiveness of this strategy. But he doesn't and won't. You would also need a prosecutor willing to jail the scum. They are all scum too.

You know what you call a hundred thousand government lawyers wrapped in chains at the bottom of the sea? A good start.

You know what you call a hundred thousand government lawyers buried up to their necks in sand? A sand shortage.

You know how to tell the difference between a dead skunk in the middle of the road smelling like rancid garbage and a dead government lawyer in the middle of the road smelling like rancid garbage? As you come up on the skunk sometimes you see skid marks.

You think it don't be like that but it do.

And he mentioned going to these "events" with his wife. Still married? Married but still dating? He's a total creep.

Charles Bukowski, no prude he, had a particular contempt for the swinger crowd: thought they were dull, base, and lacking any warmth or decency.

Well, he said he's in an open relationship with his wife.

Shall we delicately mention that he is the product of a very different culture....with very different attitudes toward the female (consider purdah and suttee).

He talks like he's American born, American raised. Maybe his Mamma remembers purdah, but I doubt he's seen it. Additionally, Hinduism & Islam kinda frown upon his debauched choices.

Wife? Didn’t know the progressive used such archaic state/church descriptors. But then, they do have a penchant for changing the meaning of words. Take ‘vaccine’ for instance - or ‘progressive’ even. The list is long.

I watched the video yesterday. He was gleeful. These are the people that told you that "masks work" to "stay home/stay safe." The hypocrisy wasn't surprising to me at all about this. It's that these are the people that are believed and people follow.

Exactly, Jimmy.

Holy crap. Are there any honest people in public health - or NYC government?

Expand full comment

Public health in itself is a total lie. There is no such thing. Everybody is different. 4 people can present with the same set of symptoms, called a "disease" and yet these symptoms have 4 different roots. One could be unprocessed grief. One could be a weakened terrain from a round of antibiotics earlier in life. One could be an ancestral inheritance that is ready to be worked through.... the roots of health are vast and unique.

Thank you for this clarification. Will reconsider the term ‘public health’.

Public health seems to be an excuse to have power over other people.

You're in Waltham? We escaped Waltham in May of 2020, never to return. Lived there since '96.

We had a very good life there, despite being supporters of liberty and freedom from government among the bootlickers. Yet, when the moron in the corner office on Beacon Hill issued his snot pouch "mandate," that was it...We left NE permanently in Aug 2021.

I have great respect for Dr. Ladapo. Wonderful that you'll get to see him in person. Enjoy!

No--we are just attending the conference there--Dr. Meryl Nass alerted her readers to this opportunity. I'm a Bay State native (western Mass) but we escaped Taxachusetts 47 years ago. Pennsylvania has a much better climate for growing your own food!

Oh, how great! Well, safe travels there. A beautiful time of year up there to be on the road.

Good for you that you left so long ago and that you're able to grow your own food. We're getting acquainted with the soil, insects, critters, and growing seasons in NW Florida so we can do the same.

We are blessed to be able to spend roughly one week in every 4-5 during the not-hard-frost season in that northernmost easternmost state of the US. Much more beautiful than congested eastern Ma.

I think NY leads the country in OUT migration--of course stacks of illegals are now choking the state. Get out while you can.

Very few honest people in public health (and they are marginalized, demoralized for not following the party line). NYC truly IS a bastion of oppression. Read about Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox (she has a substack) and her lawsuits pushing back on NY Gov. Hochul’ s concentration camps during covid. She was successful, but there are continued appeals filed by government (which cannot accept that their evil plans were derailed).

TRANSCRIPT

TEXT ON SCREEN: RULES FOR THEE NOT FOR ME

MALE TV REPORTER: Tonight while Governor [of California] Newsom is telling all of us to have Thanksgiving dinner outside, he's facing some new fallout for that fancy birthday dinner party he went to at the French Laundry.[1]

[cut]

GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM: It was in Napa which is the orange status, relatively loose compared to some other counties. Ah, it was to be an outdoor ah, ah, restaurant.

[cut]

ANOTHER MALE TV REPORTER: Raising some new questions about the governor's claims that the dinner was outdoors, as he has repeatedly claimed.

[cut]

GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM: And I let my guard down, and I apologize for it.

[cut]

FEMALE TV REPORTER: Mayor [of Chicago] Lori Lightfoot has been adamant that people stay home and socially distance for weeks.

[cut]

MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT: I can't make this any clearer. You absolutely must stay at home. We will cite you. And of we need to we will arrest you and we will take you to jail. Period. There should be nothing unambiguous about that.

[cut]

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: I guess you would all imagine that a lot of people were surprised when she made a trip to the hair salon.

[cut]

MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT: I take my personal hygiene very seriously. As I said, I felt like I needed to um, have a haircut.

[cut]

VOICE OF FEMALE TV REPORTER: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi under fire tonight after security footage showed her inside a San Francisco hair salon that's closed to the general public.

[cut]

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NANCY PELOSI: It was a set up. So I take responsibility for falling for a setup. And that's all I'm going to say on that. [cut] I think that they owe, that the salon owes me an apology.

[cut]

TUCKER CARLSON: Almost immediately after telling the rest of New York City to stay inside for example, Mayor Bill De Blasio loaded up his SUV with government bodyguards and headed for the gym across town in Brooklyn.

[cut]

MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO: I need exercise. And again, I have to stay healthy so I can make the decisions for the people of this city.

[cut]

VOICE OF FEMALE TV REPORTER: The leader is embroiled in controversy for attending a party at 10 Downing Street in May of 2020. At the time, the country was under a strict government-imposed lockdown.

[cut]

UK PRIME MINISTER BORIS JOHNSON: That I myself fell short when it came to observing the very rules which the government I lead had introduced to protect the public—

[cut]

CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU: Let's put into practice what it truly means to love our neighbors as ourselves by making sacrifices to protect their health. Let's stay home for them.

[cut]

TUCKER CARLSON: Not long after recording the video you just saw, Trudeau left the capital and traveled all the way to Quebec to visit his family at their lake house. Just like you'd want to do on Easter, if you were allowed to do that. But you're not allowed. So stop complaining.

[cut]

VOICE OF MALE TV REPORTER: Former president tweeted: "It might be Labor Day weekend, but let's all remember that we're still in the middle of a pandemic. Wear a mask, practice social distancing, and follow the experts. It'll save lives."

Former President can be seen in pictures hitting the dance floor without a mask or told that he danced all night and had a great time.

[cut]

MALE TV REPORTER: San Francisco mayor London Breed was defiant today when asked about video of her without a mask at a nightclub earlier this week.

[cut]

MAYOR LONDON BREED: I got up and started dancing because I was feeling the spirit. And I wasn't thinking about a mask. I was thinking about having a good time—

[cut]

MALE TV REPORTER: Mayor Steve Adler's apologizing tonight for traveling to Mexico with a group of family and friends last month despite urging Austinites to stay home.

[cut]

MALE TV REPORTER: As he issued this message on the night of November 9th.

MAYOR STEVE ADLER: And then we need to, you know, stay home if you can.

MALE TV REPORTER: He was doing it from a time share in Cabo San Lucas.

[cut]

MAYOR STEVE ADLER: Sorry I took that trip. Ah, it was a lapse in judgement.

[cut]

FEMALE TV REPORTER: Governor [of Michigan] Whitmer is facing some backlash after a picture surfaced of her dining at a restaurant with at least 12 other people at a table, a violation of the state Health Department's epidemic order.

[cut]

GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER: It's, you know, it was an honest mistake and I, I have apologized for it.

[cut]

ROD MELONI: Well, you know, the governor spent a lot of time asking Michiganers not to go on spring break, particularly in Florida. It took the governor's office a couple of months to confirm it, but she indeed flew from Lansing to West Palm Beach in a private jet on March 12th, spent the weekend with her father, and headed back to Lansing on March 15th.

[cut]

TUCKER CARLSON: Again and again they do the very things they punish us for doing. When they're caught, they acknowledge no shame. They are entirely lacking in self-awareness. They have no idea how absurd they are.

4:03

With Varma's habits, what are the odds of his getting an STD? Maybe one which is antibiotic-resistant.

And we have somehow managed to place these sociopaths in charge of just about everything!

Yep. And that, to me, was the whole covidian story, from lockdowns to masking to jab mandates, that one's rights (supposedly inalienable) don't matter for squat because [fill in the blank].

He outed his wife, too, by telling this story, so I’m pleased to think he now has no sanctuary.

Sounds like she was into it as well. He's going to get a lot of underhanded praise for that.

Expand full comment

I can forgive a repentant person who genuinely thought they were doing the right thing by insisting on masks and clot shots to keep other people safe. Those people were misguided and trusted the "experts" when they should have applied a modicum of common sense towards the reality of the situation and common decency towards critical thinkers who didn't bow to "ta science"

The "experts" knew what they were pushing was ineffective and sometimes dangerous , pushed it anyway, and didn't even try to follow their own rules. They remain unrepentant. If we don't punish these people it will happen again.

Expand full comment

The problem for me with forgiving the strident mask pushers, who later became 'shun-the-antivaxxers' people, is that they have a galling lack of remorse. It's easy to find montages of public figures disparaging the unmasked as grandma-killers. And we all have people who were like that in our personal lives as well. Set aside apologies, which we obviously aren't getting. Has anyone even acknowledged that they were mistaken? Chris Cuomo, of all people, is the only one I can think of.

Until those people admit that "hey, what I did to you and to others was wrong," they will never regain my esteem.

Sep 20Edited

I agree. That's why I qualified it with repentance. I was speaking more of fellow citizens than those who were in positions of power. Most of those people knew the measures they put in place did jack squat or were unnecessarily harmful. That's why they didn't follow their own rules. I can still forgive those people if they repent but they still need to be punished, even if they made decisions in ignorance.

I'd understand it more if there was a desire for them to understand our experience during the c19 abomination.

But not after what they did to children for 2 YEARS!

Rand Paul's book, "Deception: The Great COVID Cover-Up" details all of the emails that Fauci & Collins & the other 3 - 4 virologists shot back & forth to each other as the virus appeared on the scene. When I read how these 'scientists' - perhaps in mechanics but not in ethics - deceived the public, I became incandescent with rage. It was quite the sight to behold. 😉

There is no question that those people should be put on trial with the possibility of facing the gallows. They knowingly took actions and inactions that led to deaths and financial ruin of shutdown businesses.
