The globalists have the collapse planned. Our job is to avert or even just postpone it. Other considerations are secondary. Medicine has been manufactured into a corrupt mess, but it's just one part of the picture.
A good rule of thumb is that the more status a person has, the more sensitive they are to the dangers of being labeled low status, which could risk their careers and preferred place in society. Using the amount of education as a proxy (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/acp.3301?campaign=woletoc ) , consider the over-conformity of doctors, lawyers, and other working professionals to government propaganda. Imagine these people losing their jobs, with degrees costing hundreds of thousands of dollars plus years of training, with many being crushed under enormous debt loads, for listening to disapproved views? It would be ludicrous. The safe course of action for well educated individuals is to consume only officially mandated sources of information within the narrow (and ever narrowing) range of acceptable public discourse at any particular moment, called the Overton Window.
Now, these people often do experience cognitive dissonance to mass media propaganda — but only in their own area of expertise. They compartmentalize their dissonance and refuse to apply it to other areas of life. Michael Crichton created a term for this, the Gel-Mann Amnesia effect:
“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know. That is the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. I'd point out it does not operate in other arenas of life. In ordinary life, if somebody consistently exaggerates or lies to you, you soon discount everything they say. In court, there is the legal doctrine of falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, which means untruthful in one part, untruthful in all. But when it comes to the media, we believe against evidence that it is probably worth our time to read other parts of the paper when, in fact, it almost certainly isn't. The only possible explanation for our behavior is amnesia.”
Curtis Yarvin argues that the Gel-Mann Amnesia effect is rational because the costs of generalized dissidence is too high for most people. He states, “Given Conquest’s law—‘everyone is reactionary on the subjects they understand’—many adopt a craven, but all too human, corollary. After taking a bold stance in their own specialty, they have no stomach for any other fight. Reactionary enlightenment in one field should cast Bayesian doubt on other fields. Instead, local enlightenment reinforces global ignorance. Logically, the specialist should reason that if his own field, which he knows closely, is corrupt, other fields which he cannot examine in detail may be corrupt as well. But emotionally, the cost of a general dissidence far exceeds the value of extending the inference. The sweet spot is general compliance, local dissidence.”
Hi Brandy, yes, the Overton Window is the range of acceptable thought within respectable society, and during COVID it was *only* respectable to get the vaccine and push it, hard, onto others.
The best way for people who have higher status, including doctors, to avoid the dangers of cognitive dissonance is not to listen to wrongthink (such as COVID vaccine dangers) in the first place...

I guess I was referring to this statement, “ Now, these people often do experience cognitive dissonance to mass media propaganda — but only in their own area of expertise.” Maybe it was there in the doctor’s minds and we just didn’t have a window into their thoughts. But the actions of the majority of medical professionals did not show that they knew something was very wrong. Which was crazy because the recommendations were the opposite of what former research had concluded.
But perhaps I’m not seeing what you were saying.
Anyway, my thought on your last suggestion is that I don’t know how doctors can avoid listening to “wrong think” because wrong think is literally build into the entire medical system. CDC, NIH, HHS… this is where the wrong think was originating (as far as we know publicly) and those organizations are the titular head of the entire medical system. They would have been fired if they hadn’t listened to “wrong think”. Thus the dilemma. Or, thus the perfect set up, depending on your perspective.
Interesting, a visit with my primary ended with me asking if he had read Ed Dowd's book. He said he had. We both smiled. OTOH, it took a while to get him to stop recommending a PSA. I accept the finger wag and the diagnosis of mild enlargement. At 83 I'm way beyond allowing any correction in that area. We also laugh about him still working when he and I are about the same age - he points out that I have had more going medically wrong. I dread his retirement.
Hi Brandy, "wrongthink" is a defined term, created by Orwell. "wrongthink" means "Beliefs or opinions that run contrary to the prevailing or mainstream orthodoxy." , not "thoughts that are wrong/against truth". See here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/wrongthink
In the case of doctors, wrongthink would occur if doctors listened to/were influenced by alternative sources -- such Steve Kirsch, Robert Malone, Alex Berenson, Simone Gold, etc. Even Joe Rogan to a point. It is "wrong" in the sense that it is against establishment propaganda, and hence dangerous for their continued employment...
I see what you are saying. I should have read again before commenting.
Yes, they definitely avoided any credible sources of disagreement with the narrative - or “wrong think”. To me, that’s a choice that reflects either their love of truth or their love of comfort (income, social acceptance etc). Maybe choice isn’t the best word. But it definitely revealed the inner character of many people.
It’s been so disheartening to see how few people love truth. The medical community is rife with this but I’m sure it’s prevalent in many areas of society. Primal survival instincts? Selfishness? Blissful ignorance? Whatever it is, a lot of people died over it.
Infectious disease specialists are by far the most liberal of all doctors, likely due to its focus and stress on government interventions. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail...
Wow! What a fascinating chart. And it actually matches up to my friends and acquaintances, anecdotally. The whole world definitely turned into a sea of nails.
From the beginning, I could feel the collectivist undercurrent running through this entire debacle. Peoples' sense of morality was preyed upon like nothing I've ever seen. Those who feel the collective should be put first (the left) are the ones who were most easily swept up by the pandemic propaganda. If someone had told me a few years ago that in the future the left would be championing a massive wealth transfer from the poor to the rich, government sponsored censorship, forced toxic gene therapies, profits for the most lucrative private industry on the planet, discrimination - I would have laughed at what funny thought. But here we are. All you have to do is tell them that it's for the good of the whole.
the brainwashing started long before the "pandemic" of course. I started seeing anti- anti-vax messages sweeping through the culture on social media starting in about 2018. You could tell that none of the people passing on the memes against anti-vaxxers had ever read a scientific study challenging the idea of "safe and effective" but there people were, laughing at the "flat earthers". They had to paint all anti-vaxxers as selfish, ignorant, deplorable humans who just want children to die. I'm sure that sentiment against vaccine critics has always been there since the invention of the small pox vaccine but it took on a bold public-shaming stance starting then, in preparation for future planned events, no doubt. Whoever is running this monkey show tapped into the psychology of the left masterfully. AI makes Psy-Ops so easy to roll out. It will be a miracle if we can stop whatever it is that's taking over. They can clearly shape popular public opinion with very little effort.
"Many doctors have renounced their patient-first ethics and have fallen to fear, temptation, or indifference. They are Judases; know them by their fruits:" Doctors haven't been patient-first for the better part of a century; they're student loans first. No way they're going to get fired from their job for speaking an inconvenient truth while they still owe $100,000 which can't be discharged through bankruptcy.
That's the whole point of usury: spiritual enslavement and control.
This was the whole point of Obamacare; to enslave doctors and other professionals to the totalitarian government. The globalist psychopaths have been putting their system in place, stone by stone, for decades. Obamacare was the keystone for the “public health emergency” they needed to deploy the bioweapons and global psyop which would vaporize the thinking capacity of the majority of the world’s Homo sapiens. The GLobal psychopaths also, in this country, succeeded at licensing every small business such that they could control whether they worked or not. For example Filipino women who have nail salons or eyebrow plucking ventures or gardeners or any other menial task now falls under some sort of state licensure. As I watched these things unfold over the past two or three decades I made note of the things that didn’t make sense to me. In retrospect, they make a lot of sense to me now.
Yes this is an excellent coverage of the same topic. The only quibble I have is: "Since college, doctors are fed the lie that they are superior." This is not a lie. They are the largest group (a million in the usa) with IQs of about 130: super high. Unfortunately, this does not save them from all the other factors.
One of my sons has a 176 IQ. One other son taught himself to read when he was four. I caught him reading a teen aged level book to his four year old buddies. Reading it very well. My youngest son is quite smart and very fast. I doubt though he is genius level IQ. On a test. He is in charge of my estate. He is 20x as successful as his two brothers. We know doctors learn well. How many are actually good thinkers? Apparently very few. My youngest is a better thinker than his two brilliant, as they are, brothers. IQ is not meaningless, but it doesn’t measure Intelligence as we believe intelligence to be.
That's the problem...a higher IQ does not make anyone superior. Let's see how many of these high IQ-ers survive in the real world where they have to live on their own.
I hope this is not a waste of your time. I h ave been a practicing general surgeon 45 years now. I am NOT doubting your experiences, but this is nmot the medical wolrld I have seen. Sorry - please forgive the typops I just had a stroke and my right hand does not obey me well yet. I hve no idea how many surgeons and other specialists I hjave met, worked with, reviewed, assisted, or covered for in all those years. Competence, reliability, respobnsibility were the almost universal rule. I can remember one physicioan imprisoned for income tax frau8d, and one other whose diagnoses and cardiological care were circumspect. I knew of three anesthesia providers wgho were narcotic addicts, and two nuirses. I think the situation is not quite as bad as you make itmout to bne. I think I would most certainly have found many more at fault physicians and especially surgeons if your glum wexperiences were the norm. Yes th inngs have shanged. Clinical medicine/surgery has largely been replaced by imagining. Physicians increasingly no l onger have or are allowed to jhave their patients' best interests at heart. But I personally think the majority of physicians are honewt, compassiilnate, and competent. And BOY there are a LOT of typos above. Bob Heuermann
Thanks for your comment. Plastics/cosmetics are a wild group, but with what we have seen with Covid, few others have critical thinking abilities or the courage to do the right thing. The primary focus of this post was to let people see that doctors have the same foibles as everyone else. We can't waste time on hypnotized people.
As a non doc I would like to comment. If a doctor gives out anti depressants, he is corrupt. Perhaps not in the financial sense. But anyone with half a brain knows these don’t work. NO ONE IS CURED THROUGH ANTI DEPRESSANTS. The person’s depression worsens over time. Statins are a joke. Cholesterol is not the bugaboo we were told. Most vaccines are not what we thought. And so on. I could go on and on. The psychotropics are arguably the worst. At this point unless you are an ER trauma doc you are probably curing almost no one and harming hundreds.
your view is too bleak on all of medicine (some of it works) but you are right about the entire psychiatric formulary and all vaccines and cholesterol frauds
If you took out all questionable medicines from the pharmacopoeia i suspect 90% would gone. You can’t get healthy until you live healthily - mentally physically and mostly spiritually.
This is anecdotal. But I could give multiple examples. This is just my best example.
My husband had worthless chemotherapy pushed on him by multiple oncologist and doctors, more than once. I did research on the chemotherapy that they were strongly recommending and asked them questions about if there was any clinical evidence to support its use. When I asked this and presented my research, both oncologists looked ashamed and directed their eyes to the floor and both said the exact same “canned” answer. They both said, “we just don’t know”.
Basically, I had caught them prescribing dangerous medical treatments that caused harm but had zero evidence of benefit. But because their little computer program suggested that this was the standard of care, (probably provided to them via the pharmaceutical industrial complex - indirectly of course) they were happy to push it. And I could tell that they felt educated and compassionate the whole time they pushed this dangerous treatment.
After they pushed it on two separate occasions over a six month period, my husband caved. They got their money. The tumor grew while my husband had the treatment and my husband learned that I know how to do simple research that medical professionals won’t do. He was saved from the Covid “vaccine” due to his newfound trust in my research ability and my skepticism of the current medical system. Thank God my husband finally wised up.
I don’t think any of these oncologists or doctors thought of themselves as corrupt or profiteering but they definitely were. The treatment had no benefit to my husband and cost him money and vitality, which is exactly what I knew would happen.
Going with the flow and not doing research that would compromise the doctor’s views of themselves as compassionate and competent is easier than allowing doubt to enter. In my view, they clearly choose to stay ignorant.
I can’t tell you how many of our doctor “friends” thought we were stupid for not taking the vax. But I could undoubtedly run circles around them with knowledge of how the mRNA demonstrations were fraudulent. Am I smarter than them? Absolutely not. But our family’s income doesn’t depend on staying ignorant so I can understand why we knew it was a scam and they still don’t know, three years later.
I have the audiobook and it is an excellent book. Thank you for laying it all out. I knew most of the scams but there was also new information that I was not aware of. It's so depressing. But it's also good to know what's going on in order to protect ones self from such a corrupt system.
It hurts to agree with you. I am 75, and for a LONG time thought only thebest about physicioans ane nurses et al. Oh, sorry for the typos. HOWEVER, especially over the last threeyears,I must admit there are MANY more herd-following, State-gullible,possibly unscrupulous if not downright larcenous, physicians ouit there. IU am fairly sure Iam honest but quite gullible. But again I also feel that aGREATdeal of Pharmaceutical treatment, and vaccine prophylaxis, is VERY poorly researched, and even is safe unnecdessary. I think physicians as a group are probably worse than their view by the public, but better than bad. At sometime the public needs to be enormouisly educated, and perhaps AT SOME TIME set up their own private, self-funded advisopry group of trusted physicians et al, much on the lines of Underwriters' Labs, or Consumer Reports : State-funded, State-staffed "Watchdog" groups simply cannot EVER be trusted.
I think you are correct about state-staffed watchdog groups not being trusted. They begin with good intentions but it doesn’t take long for corruption to take over and then the very watchdog groups end up wielding power against the people they were intended to serve and protect. This seems to be the nature of bureaucracy.
My personal strategy is to try and live in a way that makes it very unlikely to ever need medical care for chronic disease. Hopefully I will be successful. I’ve made a lot of diet and lifestyle changes, which have been hard but they have paid off. I haven’t seen a doctor in 10 or 15 years, since I figured out that the system was corrupt and I was on my own to figure out good health.
But a medical system is still very important. I think there are groups trying to form independent medical systems. There is a group called The Wellness Company and it seems to be headed in this direction. I hope they are successful!
Thumb surgery got my fine motor skills. After 4 years of home rehab later, I have more use, but the typos are frequent. I learned it is easier to lessen them with Grammarly's help and one-finger typing. The Baseball index finger will remain unrepaired, I'm not risking another surgery. There is only one in my area that specializes in hands. I'm extremely right-handed.
You were understandable despite the typos. And I agree there are good doctors out there, finding them is the problem. The one area of these last 2 generations of Docs is their lack of knowledge of the medications they script.
I’m a retired neurologist. I concur with your observations. At both the academic and clinical levels I found physicians hardworking, honest, intelligent and respected. In any profession, of course, there are, as my mother used to say, “a few bad apples“ but generally, I think we’re a damn good lot of people.
How do you explain nearly the entire profession refusing to treat COVID patients till they were very, very sick, refusing to use therapeutics, pushing the COVID shot, and now denying vaccine injury and death? Yes many are hardworking and intelligent, but I have serious doubts about honest part, and they have certainly lost a lot of respect. Like Dr. Yoho, I'm more disappointed in doctors than anyone else. They had the ability to put a stop to this whole travesty but didn't. Many have blood on their hands.
I also am a physician, and although a surgeon, am now appalled at certain behaviors and mindsets STILL present amongst providers. I have not been vaccinated, one of the very few physicians that I know. I waws exposed to LewRockw3ll.com very early on in the "pandemic", and both Bill Sardi and Jon Rapaport along with some stubbornness kept me unvaccinated. However, I was obviously the exception. I think most physician behavior in the beginning was governed (Regrettably; understandably??) by the media : the lies and most oimportantly OMISSIONS were devastating, and painc-inducing even im physicians. Not forgivable : Tunnel vision with respect to early treatment proptocols;, maintained ignorance of early treatmejnt protrocols,AND the complications of masks, mandates, lockdowns, and muizzling of alternate treatments, both early and late. The gene therapies (they are NOT vaccines) should have been EXTREMELY suspect from their conceptuion. They remain by and large freee of suspicion even now. There is NO questions physicians et al. should have stopped the "genme therapy roll-out very early. Even the anecdotal reports of immediate side effects and death should have puit the kibosh to this. EVEN IF YOU can excuse their behavior till this point, at no time EVER!!! shopuld pregnant women have been adminiostered this vaccine. NEVER That is to me alm,ost crimional. So yes I think many indeed do have blood on their hands. Anecdote: My outstanding, unvaccinated, now pregnant daughter-in-law, on her first prenatal visit, was URGED to receive the "gene therapy",without even a one-=word risk-benefit discussion. Knowing her, I do not know how she managed to not STOPRM out of the office. THis URGING was weveral weeks ago, three years after the start of this horror, when it should be clear to anyone in healthcare who can read that the "gene therapy" is a dangerous menace on ALL FRONTS. Again,sorry for the typ[os. I just recently had a stroke, and my right hand no longer goes always here I tell it to go.

And the way they have enabled the lies of the psychiatric profession. For decades. Denial of the injuries from drugs and shocks--often blaming it on the alleged brain disease which is used to justify inflicting more damage on the consumer. Often against his or her will. Not just shrinks. All doctors cover for them.
Took their "meds" religiously between 1992 and 2016. But in 2013 I ran across William Glasser and others. Completed a taper from my cocktail between March 2016 and August 2017.
Suffering autoimmune issues and (I believe) neurological and CNS damage to this day. Still can't work and struggle to do basic chores from time to time. My executive function center never worked well- as a kid-but now I struggle to organize so hard the effort sometimes makes me break into tears. My whole life was wrecked at 18. I'm crippled and live alone in poverty so these "doctors" could make yacht payments.
Great anecdotes, Robert. Sounds like surgery is a war zone. For doctors like you (and me) continuing medical education has meant far more than CME's: it has meant coming to grips with the immense corruption that has come to pervade the medical profession in the past 40 years. When I started my career in the mid-1980's, things were just starting to get bad. It became worse in the 90's and since then it's been a s--t show. I escaped into alternative medicine around 2000, and have found a happy home there, practicing homeopathy, herbalism, Bowenwork, nutrition and functional medicine where I can help people in spite of my medical background.
This wasn’t an interesting read, it was a fascinating road trip with twists and turns and so much to learn. Maybe if people still wearing masks read this it would pierce the veil of obedience to Fauci and friends?
Thank you for all your hard work putting this together. Sending to friends.
I just finished listening to "War is a Racket" written by Smedly D. Butler a retired US Marine General and available on YT as an audio. He wrote it in 1935. It is a brutal indictment of the corruption and profiteering underscoring so many wars that the US has fought. Your essay is like a counterpart to General Butler's assessment in the medical field.
There's a new, free, powerful tool for anyone to easily search VAERS Covid-19 reports and see summarized results. You can search by batch number or symptoms, as well as location, age, vax date, and more. Check it out and share with anyone wondering if their batch(es) had VAERS reports submitted and the associated symptoms or severity.
I hope the medical community makes use of the tool too.

Really interesting. I can sympathize with the lengthy program of learning and training and the grueling hours and the risks and choices that are made every day. However, many doctors are well compensated for their career choices. One is not forced into this employment or business.
..."Current medical school graduates owe an average of $250,000—"... really does not compute since over any 10 year period, a doctor could make $3-10 million or much more.
The only solution I see is to get big pharma out of the doctoring business as well as government and special interests. What was once an honorable profession has sunk to the lowest depths and is still sinking. Doctors are human you say, and yet none will go to prison for some of the dastardly deeds they perform, including murder. Money, prestige, power and the lack of ethics buys them a free pass.
The globalists have the collapse planned. Our job is to avert or even just postpone it. Other considerations are secondary. Medicine has been manufactured into a corrupt mess, but it's just one part of the picture.

If you were to clean Augean stables, what would you do?
This was the whole point of Obamacare; to enslave doctors and other professionals to the totalitarian government. The globalist psychopaths have been putting their system in place, stone by stone, for decades. Obamacare was the keystone for the “public health emergency” they needed to deploy the bioweapons and global psyop which would vaporize the thinking capacity of the majority of the world’s Homo sapiens. The GLobal psychopaths also, in this country, succeeded at licensing every small business such that they could control whether they worked or not. For example Filipino women who have nail salons or eyebrow plucking ventures or gardeners or any other menial task now falls under some sort of state licensure. As I watched these things unfold over the past two or three decades I made note of the things that didn’t make sense to me. In retrospect, they make a lot of sense to me now.
Yes this is an excellent coverage of the same topic. The only quibble I have is: "Since college, doctors are fed the lie that they are superior." This is not a lie. They are the largest group (a million in the usa) with IQs of about 130: super high. Unfortunately, this does not save them from all the other factors.
One of my sons has a 176 IQ. One other son taught himself to read when he was four. I caught him reading a teen aged level book to his four year old buddies. Reading it very well. My youngest son is quite smart and very fast. I doubt though he is genius level IQ. On a test. He is in charge of my estate. He is 20x as successful as his two brothers. We know doctors learn well. How many are actually good thinkers? Apparently very few. My youngest is a better thinker than his two brilliant, as they are, brothers. IQ is not meaningless, but it doesn’t measure Intelligence as we believe intelligence to be.
That's the problem...a higher IQ does not make anyone superior. Let's see how many of these high IQ-ers survive in the real world where they have to live on their own.
I hope this is not a waste of your time. I h ave been a practicing general surgeon 45 years now. I am NOT doubting your experiences, but this is nmot the medical wolrld I have seen. Sorry - please forgive the typops I just had a stroke and my right hand does not obey me well yet. I hve no idea how many surgeons and other specialists I hjave met, worked with, reviewed, assisted, or covered for in all those years. Competence, reliability, respobnsibility were the almost universal rule. I can remember one physicioan imprisoned for income tax frau8d, and one other whose diagnoses and cardiological care were circumspect. I knew of three anesthesia providers wgho were narcotic addicts, and two nuirses. I think the situation is not quite as bad as you make itmout to bne. I think I would most certainly have found many more at fault physicians and especially surgeons if your glum wexperiences were the norm. Yes th inngs have shanged. Clinical medicine/surgery has largely been replaced by imagining. Physicians increasingly no l onger have or are allowed to jhave their patients' best interests at heart. But I personally think the majority of physicians are honewt, compassiilnate, and competent. And BOY there are a LOT of typos above. Bob Heuermann
Thanks for your comment. Plastics/cosmetics are a wild group, but with what we have seen with Covid, few others have critical thinking abilities or the courage to do the right thing. The primary focus of this post was to let people see that doctors have the same foibles as everyone else. We can't waste time on hypnotized people.
As a non doc I would like to comment. If a doctor gives out anti depressants, he is corrupt. Perhaps not in the financial sense. But anyone with half a brain knows these don’t work. NO ONE IS CURED THROUGH ANTI DEPRESSANTS. The person’s depression worsens over time. Statins are a joke. Cholesterol is not the bugaboo we were told. Most vaccines are not what we thought. And so on. I could go on and on. The psychotropics are arguably the worst. At this point unless you are an ER trauma doc you are probably curing almost no one and harming hundreds.
your view is too bleak on all of medicine (some of it works) but you are right about the entire psychiatric formulary and all vaccines and cholesterol frauds
Insulin. SHORT TERM use of painkillers. Some surgery techniques. Antibiotics. ER work for accidents etc. All good. Not much else.
If you took out all questionable medicines from the pharmacopoeia i suspect 90% would gone. You can’t get healthy until you live healthily - mentally physically and mostly spiritually.
This is anecdotal. But I could give multiple examples. This is just my best example.
My husband had worthless chemotherapy pushed on him by multiple oncologist and doctors, more than once. I did research on the chemotherapy that they were strongly recommending and asked them questions about if there was any clinical evidence to support its use. When I asked this and presented my research, both oncologists looked ashamed and directed their eyes to the floor and both said the exact same “canned” answer. They both said, “we just don’t know”.
Basically, I had caught them prescribing dangerous medical treatments that caused harm but had zero evidence of benefit. But because their little computer program suggested that this was the standard of care, (probably provided to them via the pharmaceutical industrial complex - indirectly of course) they were happy to push it. And I could tell that they felt educated and compassionate the whole time they pushed this dangerous treatment.
After they pushed it on two separate occasions over a six month period, my husband caved. They got their money. The tumor grew while my husband had the treatment and my husband learned that I know how to do simple research that medical professionals won’t do. He was saved from the Covid “vaccine” due to his newfound trust in my research ability and my skepticism of the current medical system. Thank God my husband finally wised up.
I don’t think any of these oncologists or doctors thought of themselves as corrupt or profiteering but they definitely were. The treatment had no benefit to my husband and cost him money and vitality, which is exactly what I knew would happen.
Going with the flow and not doing research that would compromise the doctor’s views of themselves as compassionate and competent is easier than allowing doubt to enter. In my view, they clearly choose to stay ignorant.
I can’t tell you how many of our doctor “friends” thought we were stupid for not taking the vax. But I could undoubtedly run circles around them with knowledge of how the mRNA demonstrations were fraudulent. Am I smarter than them? Absolutely not. But our family’s income doesn’t depend on staying ignorant so I can understand why we knew it was a scam and they still don’t know, three years later.
I explain how it works in Butchered
I have the audiobook and it is an excellent book. Thank you for laying it all out. I knew most of the scams but there was also new information that I was not aware of. It's so depressing. But it's also good to know what's going on in order to protect ones self from such a corrupt system.
It hurts to agree with you. I am 75, and for a LONG time thought only thebest about physicioans ane nurses et al. Oh, sorry for the typos. HOWEVER, especially over the last threeyears,I must admit there are MANY more herd-following, State-gullible,possibly unscrupulous if not downright larcenous, physicians ouit there. IU am fairly sure Iam honest but quite gullible. But again I also feel that aGREATdeal of Pharmaceutical treatment, and vaccine prophylaxis, is VERY poorly researched, and even is safe unnecdessary. I think physicians as a group are probably worse than their view by the public, but better than bad. At sometime the public needs to be enormouisly educated, and perhaps AT SOME TIME set up their own private, self-funded advisopry group of trusted physicians et al, much on the lines of Underwriters' Labs, or Consumer Reports : State-funded, State-staffed "Watchdog" groups simply cannot EVER be trusted.
"VERY poorly researched."
actually read fraudulent
I think you are correct about state-staffed watchdog groups not being trusted. They begin with good intentions but it doesn’t take long for corruption to take over and then the very watchdog groups end up wielding power against the people they were intended to serve and protect. This seems to be the nature of bureaucracy.
My personal strategy is to try and live in a way that makes it very unlikely to ever need medical care for chronic disease. Hopefully I will be successful. I’ve made a lot of diet and lifestyle changes, which have been hard but they have paid off. I haven’t seen a doctor in 10 or 15 years, since I figured out that the system was corrupt and I was on my own to figure out good health.
But a medical system is still very important. I think there are groups trying to form independent medical systems. There is a group called The Wellness Company and it seems to be headed in this direction. I hope they are successful!
Thumb surgery got my fine motor skills. After 4 years of home rehab later, I have more use, but the typos are frequent. I learned it is easier to lessen them with Grammarly's help and one-finger typing. The Baseball index finger will remain unrepaired, I'm not risking another surgery. There is only one in my area that specializes in hands. I'm extremely right-handed.
You were understandable despite the typos. And I agree there are good doctors out there, finding them is the problem. The one area of these last 2 generations of Docs is their lack of knowledge of the medications they script.
did you see typos?
Yes the paid Grammarly is the hot ticket but expensive
I’m a retired neurologist. I concur with your observations. At both the academic and clinical levels I found physicians hardworking, honest, intelligent and respected. In any profession, of course, there are, as my mother used to say, “a few bad apples“ but generally, I think we’re a damn good lot of people.
How do you explain nearly the entire profession refusing to treat COVID patients till they were very, very sick, refusing to use therapeutics, pushing the COVID shot, and now denying vaccine injury and death? Yes many are hardworking and intelligent, but I have serious doubts about honest part, and they have certainly lost a lot of respect. Like Dr. Yoho, I'm more disappointed in doctors than anyone else. They had the ability to put a stop to this whole travesty but didn't. Many have blood on their hands.
I also am a physician, and although a surgeon, am now appalled at certain behaviors and mindsets STILL present amongst providers. I have not been vaccinated, one of the very few physicians that I know. I waws exposed to LewRockw3ll.com very early on in the "pandemic", and both Bill Sardi and Jon Rapaport along with some stubbornness kept me unvaccinated. However, I was obviously the exception. I think most physician behavior in the beginning was governed (Regrettably; understandably??) by the media : the lies and most oimportantly OMISSIONS were devastating, and painc-inducing even im physicians. Not forgivable : Tunnel vision with respect to early treatment proptocols;, maintained ignorance of early treatmejnt protrocols,AND the complications of masks, mandates, lockdowns, and muizzling of alternate treatments, both early and late. The gene therapies (they are NOT vaccines) should have been EXTREMELY suspect from their conceptuion. They remain by and large freee of suspicion even now. There is NO questions physicians et al. should have stopped the "genme therapy roll-out very early. Even the anecdotal reports of immediate side effects and death should have puit the kibosh to this. EVEN IF YOU can excuse their behavior till this point, at no time EVER!!! shopuld pregnant women have been adminiostered this vaccine. NEVER That is to me alm,ost crimional. So yes I think many indeed do have blood on their hands. Anecdote: My outstanding, unvaccinated, now pregnant daughter-in-law, on her first prenatal visit, was URGED to receive the "gene therapy",without even a one-=word risk-benefit discussion. Knowing her, I do not know how she managed to not STOPRM out of the office. THis URGING was weveral weeks ago, three years after the start of this horror, when it should be clear to anyone in healthcare who can read that the "gene therapy" is a dangerous menace on ALL FRONTS. Again,sorry for the typ[os. I just recently had a stroke, and my right hand no longer goes always here I tell it to go.
I"m equally angry and agree. Your skepticism and intellect shielded you
And the way they have enabled the lies of the psychiatric profession. For decades. Denial of the injuries from drugs and shocks--often blaming it on the alleged brain disease which is used to justify inflicting more damage on the consumer. Often against his or her will. Not just shrinks. All doctors cover for them.
the shrinks should be abolished and ALL their meds
Took their "meds" religiously between 1992 and 2016. But in 2013 I ran across William Glasser and others. Completed a taper from my cocktail between March 2016 and August 2017.
Suffering autoimmune issues and (I believe) neurological and CNS damage to this day. Still can't work and struggle to do basic chores from time to time. My executive function center never worked well- as a kid-but now I struggle to organize so hard the effort sometimes makes me break into tears. My whole life was wrecked at 18. I'm crippled and live alone in poverty so these "doctors" could make yacht payments.
Exceptional people but led into the same traps as everyone else.
Fascinating reading. Totally absorbing. Thank you for your insight and for your willingness to share.
Great anecdotes, Robert. Sounds like surgery is a war zone. For doctors like you (and me) continuing medical education has meant far more than CME's: it has meant coming to grips with the immense corruption that has come to pervade the medical profession in the past 40 years. When I started my career in the mid-1980's, things were just starting to get bad. It became worse in the 90's and since then it's been a s--t show. I escaped into alternative medicine around 2000, and have found a happy home there, practicing homeopathy, herbalism, Bowenwork, nutrition and functional medicine where I can help people in spite of my medical background.
Nothing beats homeopathy in the right person right time right remedy. It is simply amazing.
This wasn’t an interesting read, it was a fascinating road trip with twists and turns and so much to learn. Maybe if people still wearing masks read this it would pierce the veil of obedience to Fauci and friends?
Thank you for all your hard work putting this together. Sending to friends.
I just finished listening to "War is a Racket" written by Smedly D. Butler a retired US Marine General and available on YT as an audio. He wrote it in 1935. It is a brutal indictment of the corruption and profiteering underscoring so many wars that the US has fought. Your essay is like a counterpart to General Butler's assessment in the medical field.
When I turned 60, I realized I was going to die. Someday. I could go easy and live healthy until that moment or visit a doctor.
During my 50s I realized that doctors are human and pretty much represent microcosm of society.
Thank you.
There's a new, free, powerful tool for anyone to easily search VAERS Covid-19 reports and see summarized results. You can search by batch number or symptoms, as well as location, age, vax date, and more. Check it out and share with anyone wondering if their batch(es) had VAERS reports submitted and the associated symptoms or severity.
I hope the medical community makes use of the tool too.

Quite clever visuals.
Please comment:
Doc’s apology? No way!
https://scientificprogress.substack.com/p/doc-says-oops-im-a-complete-idiot
Sure explains what is behind the medical pharmacy industrial complex.
Really interesting. I can sympathize with the lengthy program of learning and training and the grueling hours and the risks and choices that are made every day. However, many doctors are well compensated for their career choices. One is not forced into this employment or business.
..."Current medical school graduates owe an average of $250,000—"... really does not compute since over any 10 year period, a doctor could make $3-10 million or much more.
The only solution I see is to get big pharma out of the doctoring business as well as government and special interests. What was once an honorable profession has sunk to the lowest depths and is still sinking. Doctors are human you say, and yet none will go to prison for some of the dastardly deeds they perform, including murder. Money, prestige, power and the lack of ethics buys them a free pass.
Thank you dr. Yoho this explains a lot. Nobody's perfect but there is a lot to be said about human decency and just plain greed.

Thanks Dr. Yoho. Been years in the corruption of doctors & so called "medicines".
