Do Your Doctors Stay Current in their Medical Specialty?

In the past few years I have personal determined that two of my doctors were not current on new developments in their fields. As Joomi Kim writes, at Let's Be Clear, this has become the norm. Her article is titled, "Most doctors don't read research papers: And most don't know how to critically assess them."

Kim brings up another equally important concern. If your doctor is the rare doctor who does read the journals, does he or she know HOW to read a journal article. She shows that Eric Topol's interpretation of Paxlovid study was embarrassingly wrong.

Excerpt from Kim's article:

A doctor who does not put in the work to keep evolving, who does not appreciate how complex biology is, who doesn’t bother to read studies or doesn’t know how to critically appraise them, who doesn’t recognize the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on trials, or the fingerprints of “spin” present in much of “science journalism,” is borderline useless to you.

Don’t get me wrong: our medical system is decent at dealing with acute problems like broken limbs or acute bacterial infections. If you’re dealing with issues like these, you’ll probably be able to find decent care.

But when it comes to most other things, like what the best diet is, or the root causes of chronic issues like diabetes, dementia, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, allergies, psoriasis, Crohn’s disease, hormonal imbalances, insomnia, etc., the sad truth is that your average medical doctor does not have a clue beyond being able to prescribe a drug that will mask your symptoms.

If our doctors are not getting their information from medical journals, where are they getting their information? You might want to address that question to Big Pharma. E.g., see here.

Biden Administration’s billion dollar Fraud Campaign During COVID.

The Biden Administration ran a billion dollar fraud campaign during COVID.

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya offers the lowlights at X, including the following excerpts:

The House report on HHS covid propaganda is devastating. The Biden admin spent almost a billion dollars to push falsehoods about covid vaccines, boosters, and masks on the American people. If a pharma company had run the campaign, it would have been fined out of existence.

HHS engaged a PR firm, the Fors Marsh Group (FMG), for the propaganda campaign. The main goal was to increase covid vax uptake.

The strategy:

1. Exaggerate covid mortality risk

2. Downplay the fact that there was no good evidence that the covid vax stops transmission.

The propaganda campaign extended beyond vax uptake and included exaggerating mask efficacy and pushing for social distancing & school closures.

Ultimately, since the messaging did not match reality, the campaign collapsed public trust in public health. The PR firm (FMG) drew most of its faulty science from @CDCgov's "guidance," which ignored @US_FDA findings on the vaccine's limitations, as well as scientific findings from other countries that contradicted CDC groupthink.

The report details the CDC's mask flip-flopping through the years. It's especially infuriating to recall the CDC's weird, anti-scientific, anti-human focus on masking toddlers with cloth masks into 2022.... In Sept. 2021, CDC director Walensky overruled the agency's external experts to recommend the booster to all adults rather than just the elderly. The director's action was "highly unusual" and went beyond the FDA's approval of the booster for only the elderly."

Ex-Blackrock Analyist Ed Dowd Discusses the Fallout from the COVID Vax

Ed Dowd is bringing lots of bad news regarding the COVID vaccine. He's worth listening to because of his careful methodology, the fact that he is a former Blackrock financial analyst (who got red-pilled along the way, like many of us) and because the U.S. pharmacy-industrial complex is doing its damndest to keep up from learning about the adverse side-effects from the COVID vax. He discusses his findings with biologist Bret Weinstein on the Darkhorse podcast (link to full interview).

Ed is part of a team called Phinance Technologies. You can access their various projects at their website.

How to Win the IDSA Fauci Courage in Leadership Award

What does it take to win the Rochelle Walensky Award? It takes a LOT. A lot of what? As Vinay Prasad explains, a lot of things like this:

When she was in Brookline, she advocated for school reopening, but when appointed by President Biden, who campaigned on the idea that schools were dangerous, she reversed that stance.

She met privately and discussed CDC guidance with the teachers unions.

She was dishonest about myocarditis. There is no way this was true by the end of April 2021.

The Israelis reported a rate of 1 in 3000 by February, and the EMA would soon confirm the safety signal.

Once she accepted myocarditis exists, she made no effort to lower it. No trials of spaced doses, lower or omitted doses.

She lied constantly about the evidence for masking. She lied to congress stating there was not equipoise for a trial testing if masking worked in children. This was clearly false given that the European CDC and CDC had divergent recommendations— and member states had a range of policies (e.g. Sweden never masked <12, US masked 2+). A divergence of practice is the definition of equipoise.

Walensky supported vaccine mandates, which were unethical, as COVID vaccines had never established a third party benefit.

Walensky pushed vaccines in people who had COVID— a strategy that may even be harmful.

Walensky pushed boosters in low risk populations, a decision that led to the resignation of Gruber/ Krause at FDA.

Walensky’s communication on TV was a constant mess of flip flopping and insecurity; she was a notoriously bad communicator. She even hired an outside consulting firm to help her communications, using taxpayer money.

As Prasad further explains, Anthony Fauci, for whom the award is named, got almost everything wrong, including this list (and there is a lot more that could have been on this list, including this and this and this and this.

Fauci was of course initially told the truth that multiple RCTs of community masking showed it didn’t help, then he lied about it. He never opposed masking 2 year olds.

He exaggerated the risk to kids. He opposed DeSantis in spring 2020 when DeSantis wanted to reopen schools.

Fauci was wrong about giving 2 doses to fewer people over 1 dose to more people.

Fauci was wrong to not meet with and discuss different ideas with the authors of Great Barrington Declaration.

Fauci was wrong about double masking.

Fauci was wrong about vaccine mandates and ignoring natural immunity.

Fauci was wrong about boosters for young people, vaccines for people who already had COVID.

Most notably, Fauci appears to have used Gmail to evade federal FOIA laws to conceal NIAID’s role in funding the laboratory in Wuhan to conduct gain of function research in sars-coronaviruses.

1,225 Dead People and Pfizer

Naomi Wolf has just published The Pfizer Papers, a book focused on misconduct of Pfizer during the COVID crisis. She wanted to know the extent to which Pfizer's COVID vax killed people.

Wolf also appeared on the above podcast. Excerpt:

Pfizer knew within three months that 1,225 people died. That's how many deaths there are in just three months of rollout. Pfizer knew by April of 2021 that minors' hearts were being damaged by the injection. They had warnings from the Israeli Health Ministry and also from a pediatric group.

And rather than coming forward and telling all of us this is going to damage the hearts of minors, our lawyers FOIA'd email chains that go up to Dr. Fauci, Dr. Walensky, POTUS, and 15 White House staffers. In the email, you see it going all the way. So the president can't say— The template goes to POTUS. Right. OK. A little deniability there, but the template goes to POTUS.

But certainly there are 15 White House staffers on the email chain, right? Being told, hello, we have a problem here. Worse. They were told that, but then there was this freak out, and I recognize it from having been an advisor to a presidential campaign, a freak out conference where they're planning how to lie to the American people, and they're creating a script.

The script is 17 pages, completely redacted. But you remember what happened in April and May of 2021. They came forward and said, oh, you know, pericarditis, myocarditis in young men and teenagers, it's transient, it's mild, it's rare that they knew that they were lying.

That's what they came out with. That was their approach. Correct. Like, we'll kind of admit it, but we'll just say it's really nothing to worry about. And then they followed that with an all summer long propaganda campaign using influencers and TikTok personalities to get young people and teenagers to get injected.
