Being in health care, this is a critically important piece of writing. Few outside of health care, realize that their trusted physicians, ARNPs, nurses, pharmacists were required to be "on message" irrespective of how erroneous, at the risk of immediate and permanent suspension of license. Older health care professionals simply walked away. Younger professionals with significant educational debt, mortgages, families faced a choice of immediate penury (if the license is permanently suspended on grounds of dishonesty, moral turpitude - which were the enabling statutes by which the licenses were taken, any other employer in another field would assume a serious felony). And, if the CDC were tracking tweets/etc of our congressmen and senators, one can be sure that state health boards were tracking doctors and others. Meryl Nass is an exemplar of this situation - a la Russian tactics, her health board not only suspended her license but is also requiring a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation from one of their own (You're not only a de facto felon, but also crazy). Furthermore, health care providers and all related associates were in many states required to be vaccinated in order to continue to hold their licenses. But to this day we do not know how many CDC, FDA, NAID staff were vaccinated! Nor were any key players in this dictatorial tragedy required to do so to hold their positions.

The real tragedy of this in concert with other health care dictatorial policies, is the literally tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths that occurred owing to withholding of virtually any medical intervention, save remdesivir and vents, neither with any reasonable research based track record of efficacy regarding this virus. In addition to all of those who died or were permanently disabled by adverse vaccine events, another topic that is disallowed by by CDC, FDA, FSMB.

I was a patient in the Soviet system, my family doctors in it. We could rely on no-one. The one benefit was it was so decrepit that docs had wide latitude. My uncle treated autoimmune disease with fasting and cabbage (our most abundantly reliable veggie) to reduce inflammation. Now the west is catching on. You’re right about the Soviet-style repression here. It’s very scary

I am in Canada. My docand I have a pretty good arrangement. He tells me when he is toeing the party line to recommend something. Then we both smile knowingly...and I tell him what will actually happen.

I just wrote about this in my comment. The medical industry can't be trusted about anything, particularly when it comes to chronic disease like CVD, Alzheimer's, cancer and T2D.

And what about those doctors who refused to be vaccinated but then offered forged vaccine cards b/c the institutions couldn't afford to lose them.
