The Escape from Managerialist Medicine

Whether the influence of Big Pharma that profits from sickness, compromised public health agencies controlled by the very industries they are supposed to regulate, a biosecurity state that tends to jump from one declared health emergency to the next, medicine is now in danger of causing more sickness than it heals.

The year I was born, 1976, saw the publication of Ivan Illich’s prophetic book, Medical Nemesis, which opens with the startling claim, “The medical establishment has become a major threat to health.”[i] The book explores the epidemic of iatrogenic disease—that is, illnesses caused by medical interventions—which has only worsened in the nearly half-century since this book was published. Most of the current research literature on iatrogenesis focuses on the problem of medical errors, and how to institute systems that can minimize errors. This is obviously important to address, but medical errors are only part of the story of how medicine is harming us.

Illich’s basic thesis was that some systems, including our healthcare system, improve outcomes only until they expand to a certain industrialized size, monopolized scope, and level of technological power. Once this threshold is reached, without intending to do so, these systems paradoxically cannot help but inflict harm and undermine their stated aims. Illich diagnosed “the disease of medical progress” in its early stages; I believe this disease has now reached its advanced stage.

The problem is political and not merely professional: he argued that “the layman and not the physician has the potential perspective and effective power to stop the current iatrogenic epidemic.”[ii] Indeed, “among all our contemporary experts, physicians are those trained to the highest level of specialized incompetence for this urgently needed pursuit.”

Organized medicine has always carefully guarded its membership and monopoly on professional privileges, from ordering tests to prescribing medications. “The medical monopoly over health care has expanded without checks and has encroached on our liberty with regard to our own bodies.”[iii] In my previous book, The New Abnormal: The Rise of the Biomedical Security State, I explore how this tendency manifested during our disastrous response to Covid. But the problem is not limited to that period of recent medical history, and the disastrous public health response was only a symptom of more widespread problems in our healthcare system.

Pharma, Big Ag Lobbyists Help U.S. Scuttle Global Plan to Cut Antibiotic Use in Industrial Meat Production

Targets to cut the use of antimicrobials in animal agriculture were dropped from a key United Nations (U.N.) political declaration following pushback from the agriculture and veterinary drug industry and meat-producing nations comprising the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

The declaration is meant to commit countries to address surging resistance to antimicrobial medicines — a problem that kills nearly 1.3 million people globally in a single year, topping deaths from HIV and malaria combined.

On Sept. 26, global leaders will meet at the U.N. where they are expected to adopt the declaration. But without concrete targets, scientists, global leaders and politicians are concerned that governments won’t effectively address the problem.

In particular, they will fail to curb the use of antimicrobials in farm animals, which is spurring the development of resistance to critical medicines, they warn.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), who is campaigning for improved control of antibiotics in food-producing animals in the U.S., said in a statement, “The massive overuse of antibiotics on factory farms in the United States is a serious threat to public health.”

“Federal agencies have a troubling history of deferring to corporate interests on this issue, and I am very concerned about any role that the United States played in weakening international commitments to reduce antibiotic use in farm animals,” he adds.

‘We Get Paid to Vaccinate Your Children’: Pediatrician Reveals Details of Big Pharma Payola Scheme

Can pediatricians afford to run their medical practices without the generous kickbacks they receive for vaccinating every child?

Dr. Paul Thomas, a Dartmouth-trained pediatrician, discussed this dilemma during an April 16 interview with Polly Tommey on Children’s Health Defense’s “Vax-Unvax: The People’s Study” bus tour.

“You cannot stay in business if you’re not giving pretty close to the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] [childhood vaccine] schedule,” said Thomas, who ran a general pediatrics practice with 15,000 patients and 33 staff members.

Thomas also addressed the risks and harms of vaccines — including COVID-19 mRNA vaccines — and the importance of boosting our immune systems naturally.

‘We were losing … over a million dollars’

Thomas, author of “The Vaccine-Friendly Plan: Dr. Paul’s Safe and Effective Approach to Immunity and Health-from Pregnancy Through Your Child’s Teen Year,” gave parents in his practice a choice: vaccinate their children on the CDC schedule, vaccinate more slowly by waiting for the child’s immune system to develop or not vaccinate at all.

As more patients refused vaccines, Thomas began to notice the financial impact on his practice.

He and his staff conducted a thorough analysis of their billing records, examining the income generated from vaccine administration fees, markups and quality bonuses tied to vaccination rates.

7 Cover Stories Big Pharma Forced on MSM to Hide Disastrous Health Consequences of mRNA Clot Shots

If you are wondering why mainstream media is finally publishing some science-based facts about the health detriment caused by commonly used products, that is because MSM is engaged in multi-faceted cover stories while they continue to pretend the Covid-19 mRNA jabs aren’t so bad. Remember, Covid-19 did not kill any more folks than the seasonal flu ever did, it’s just that hospitals across the globe reported anyone and everyone that died during the plandemic as “died with Covid.” This was for the money.

Plus, it was all about co-morbidity “factors,” meaning people with cancer, dementia, diabetes, heart disease and who had heart attacks and strokes were all chalked up to have died from Fauci Flu, while millions of those same folks died from the Covid clot shots.

Though the mad vaccination rush for Covid-19 is fizzling out some, billions of vaxxed people around the globe are suffering and dying from Spike Protein Syndrome, where the billions (trillions with boosters) of spike prion nanoparticles clog and clot their vascular system, causing nearly every system to malfunction, collapse and quit working, including the heart, liver, kidneys, pancreas and ovaries.

So now, as real news of the Clot Shot Pandemic spreads to the naïve naysayers and pro-vax zealots and their loved ones, mainstream media must run cover to protect the vaccine industrial complex, the “holy grail” of medicine and for the next plandemic where Big Pharma and Big Government will certainly push just as hard, if not harder, for every human to commit suicide via vaccination.

They lied: Canadian government contract with Pfizer states that the long-term efficacy and safety of covid injections was unknown

The Pfizer covid-19 vaccine contract between the Canadian government obtained by The Canadian Independent shows the “long-term effects, efficacy, and adverse effects” of the vaccine were not known at the time the contract was signed and the population was mass vaccinated.

This is the original covid-19 vaccine contract between the Canadian government and Pfizer, dated 26 October 2020. It was obtained exclusively by The Canadian Independent through an access to information request.

Two months later, after the contract was signed, Canada began the process of mass vaccinating its citizens while politicians, public health officials, the CEO of Pfizer, and the mainstream media preached about the Pfizer covid-19 vaccine being “safe and effective.”

What the population was not aware of was what was in the contract. Section 5.5 of the contract, under “Purchaser Acknowledgement,” clearly states: “Purchaser further acknowledges that the long-term effects and efficacy of the Vaccine are not currently known and that there may be adverse effects of the Vaccine that are not currently known.”

People Who Take Ozempic, Wegovy 45% More Likely to Have Suicidal Thoughts

People who take the popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are 45% more likely to have suicidal thoughts than people taking other drugs, according to a study published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

Researchers from the Zucker School of Medicine in New York reviewed a World Health Organization global database of adverse drug effects between November 2000 and August 2023.

They compared reporting rates for semaglutide — the active ingredient in the blockbuster drugs — to other similar weight-loss drugs and all drugs in the database. They found that semaglutide was associated with “disproportionately increased reporting of suicidality.”

“Authorities should consider issuing a warning to inform about this risk,” the authors concluded, particularly given the increasing off-label use of the drug. They said in half of the cases where suicidal thoughts occurred, the drug was being taken off-label.

The signal “warrants urgent clarification,” they added.

The researchers also found a higher risk for suicidal thoughts among people on antidepressants or benzodiazepines, likely prescribed for depression or anxiety, who were also taking semaglutide.

They recommended that physicians who prescribe semaglutide inform patients of the risk and assess their psychiatric history and mental state before prescribing the drug.

American Pharmaceutical Companies Accused of Carrying Out Clinical Trials With Chinese Military

A bipartisan House committee has revealed that American pharmaceutical companies carried out drug trials in conjunction with the Chinese military for more than 10 years.

The revelation came in a letter penned by Republican and Democratic leaders on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Robert Califf. In the letter, they pressed him to supply information about these clinical trials for new medications.

In their letter, they explained: “These collaborative research activities raise serious concerns that critical Intellectual Property is at risk of being transferred to the [Chinese military] or being co-opted under the People’s Republic of China’s National Security Law.”

They also expressed reservations about how much the results of clinical trials produced by China can be trusted.

The letter states that hundreds of clinical trials for drugs have been carried out at medical centers and hospitals in China that are affiliated with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) at sites such as the PLA’s Air Force Medical University and the PLA’s General Hospital and Medical School.

One of the institutions is operated by the PLA’s Academy of Military Medical Sciences, an institution which the Department of Commerce has banned businesses in the United States from sharing technology with due to national security concerns.

Pharmacide; Killing Us Softly

To many, scientific lingo is as indecipherable as hieroglyphics, not to mention all the confusing opinions of experts, drug salesmen, supplement salesmen and a corrupted phalanx of government “protective” agencies/protecting the bottom lines of the healthcare monopoly.

Who could trust anything after evil Golem Fauci’s weaponized flu and fraudulent vaxxxines killed millions. He has been shaking down congress every few years for decades just to fund phony drug solutions for “pandemics” like swine flu, AIDS, MPOX and Zika to enrich corporate cronies and complicit colleagues.   But that’s only the tip of the iceberg; crooked medicine has been crippling and killing millions each year for at least a century!!!

If anyone can sift truth from the coercive douchebaggery of government trolled/controlled mass media, please get in touch.

The Rockefeller business model depended on eliminating all competition and establishing itself as the foremost authority in medicine.  In the early 20th century they managed to disparage and have legally banned many electronic therapies including the Rife Machine, some of which surface today in conventional circles to address mental problems.  Ditto ultraviolet blood irradiation and HBOT/hyperbaric oxygen therapy. They tried to destroy Chiropractic and Naturopathy  as well as many nutritional and herbal medicines.  Their darkest “success” came when they kneecapped Linus Pauling and disparaged Vitamin C to keep the public from learning of its value.  They also suppressed many cancer cures along with chelation therapy thereby keeping a steady stream of uninformed chronic disease sufferers packing medical offices in search of a drug solution.

While the profession made great strides in trauma-care and acute interventions, they buried actual prevention and safe natural treatments leading to suffering and death for millions.

They “overlooked” nutrition, but not before floating malicious lies recommending health-wrecking polyunsaturated fats and oils with cholesterol/heart disease mythology,… when saturated fats like butter and lard are wise scientifically verified choices.  They birthed the shady idea of sun avoidance and the use of carcinogenic chemical sunscreens. They promoted ineffective side-effect riddled vaxxxines for generally non-life threatening diseases.  They bolstered their “god status” with Latinesque word-salads meant to be unintelligible to the “congregation.”

Prescription Drugs Are the Leading Cause of Death

Overtreatment with drugs kills many people, and the death rate is increasing. It is, therefore, strange that we have allowed this long-lasting drug pandemic to continue, and even more so because most of the drug deaths are easily preventable.

In 2013, I estimated that our prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer,1 and in 2015, that psychiatric drugs alone are also the third leading cause of death.2 However, in USA, it is commonly stated that our drugs are “only” the fourth leading cause of death.3,4 This estimate was derived from a 1998 meta-analysis of 39 US studies where monitors recorded all adverse drug reactions that occurred while the patients were in hospital, or which were the reason for hospital admission.5

This methodology clearly underestimates drug deaths. Most people who are killed by their drugs die outside hospitals, and the time people spent in hospitals was only 11 days on average in the meta-analysis.5 Moreover, the meta-analysis only included patients who died from drugs that were properly prescribed, not those who died as a result of errors in drug administration, noncompliance, overdose, or drug abuse, and not deaths where the adverse drug reaction was only possible.5

Many people die because of errors, e.g., simultaneous use of contraindicated drugs, and many possible drug deaths are real. Moreover, most of the included studies are very old, the median publication year being 1973, and drug deaths have increased dramatically in the last 50 years. As an example, 37,309 drug deaths were reported to the FDA in 2006 and 123,927 ten years later, which is 3.3 times as many.6

Big Pharma Funds COVID Fact Checkers

FactCheck.org, the organization that flags “misleading” COVID-19 content for Facebook, is supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a philanthropic organization funded by pharmaceutical giant and vaccine maker Johnson & Johnson (J&J), YouTube commentator Jimmy Dore reported.

Dore said his own shows have often been slapped with a “misleading” label when he covered issues related to COVID-19 or vaccines.

“These fact check organizations aren’t there to check facts,” Dore said. “They’re there to push a political point of view and an agenda and to discredit people.”

Dore said when the organization “fact-checked” his work in the past, its claims were always “bogus.” He said FactCheck.org never reached out to consult him about his content, it twisted his words and it never even pointed to any erroneous facts.

Instead, he said, “They didn’t like my headlines,” and they would say they were misleading.

Johnson & Johnson’s viral vector COVID-19 vaccine received emergency use authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in February 2021. After the shot was linked to dangerous blood clots, its use was suspended a couple of months later and it was eventually completely pulled from the market in May 2023.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation was established in 1952 by Robert Wood Johnson II, who ran J&J with a bequest of shares from the pharmaceutical giant. Today, although the foundation says it has diversified its holdings, it holds nearly $2 billion in J&J stock.
