Wait, people still trust medical doctors?!?! Why would ANYBODY trust medical doctors? Not just Covid. They don't have a good, trustworthy track record. Anyone interested in health care and preventing, treating dis-ease would be wise to find alternative healers who understand the body and natural healing.
Here's who medical doctors are. Most don't go into medicine to be this. They become this. Allopathic (western) medicine is especially prone to become this. This is the implementation of the same plan as nearly a century ago, the preferred method of Democide, mass murder of millions by their government. As the top doctor in Nazi Germany, Victor Brack often said, "The needle belongs in the hand of the doctor," as he watched victims die by the hand of doctors:
Why did so many German doctors join the Nazi Party early?
International Journal of Law and Psychiatry, October 3, 2012
"During the Weimar Republic in the mid-twentieth century, more than half of all German physicians became early joiners of the Nazi Party, surpassing the party enrollments of all other professions. From early on, the German Medical Society played the most instrumental role in the Nazi medical program, beginning with the marginalization of Jewish physicians, proceeding to coerced “experimentation,” “euthanization,” and sterilization, and culminating in genocide via the medicalization of mass murder of Jews and others caricatured and demonized by Nazi ideology. Given the medical oath to “do no harm,” many postwar ethical analyses have strained to make sense of these seemingly paradoxical atrocities. Why did physicians act in such a manner? Yet few have tried to explain the self-selected Nazi enrollment of such an overwhelming proportion of the German Medical Society in the first place."

Useless Eaters: Disability as Genocidal Marker in Nazi Germany
The Journal of Special Education/Catholic Culture, 2002
It is important to note that the enactment of prejudice against people with disabilities in Nazi Germany could not have succeeded without the complicity of the medical and adjunct professions. Power over life and death was placed firmly in the hands of physicians who became white-coated executioners, having long abandoned the "do no harm" clause of the Hippocratic Oath. Currently, there is evidence of the medical community's again being willing agents in hastening the deaths of people deemed not viable, including people with disabilities, through familiar methods for ending the lives of terminally ill people, such as starvation and death by thirst. Furthermore, there is evidence that "do no harm" is now viewed as a somewhat quaint throwback to a distant, less sophisticated era. For example, many physicians [more than 85%] no longer take the Hippocratic Oath before beginning their careers, and many standard hospital treatment protocols now stipulate that staff physicians may override next-of-kin requests for patient treatment if the physician decides that treatment will likely be ineffective (Smith, 2000). Once again, patients, including those with disabilities who are terminally ill, now bear the responsibility of justifying their existence and their need for treatment. This being the case, and with the clear understanding that not all physicians put the greater good ahead of their individual patients, there should at least be some debate about what this means for people with disabilities, many of whom rely extensively on the assumption that their physicians have their best individual treatment interests at heart and will treat them regardless of utilitarian arguments to the contrary."
For my Honours degree in public health, I took a compulsory unit of study on the history of medical experimentation, the Nuremburg Code, Hippocratic Oath, Declaration of Helsinki and other codifications of ethical conduct in relation to human research subjects and patients. It's extraordinary that I had to do that in order to conduct an Honours research project that simply involved conducting interviews with willing participants, while most doctors no longer swear the Hippocratic Oath even though they literally hold the power of life and death over their patients.
Ivan Illich's Medical Nemesis is an early classic on this theme, as is Robert Mendelsohn's Confessions of a Medical Heretic. More recent books on this subject matter are Peter Rost's The Whistleblower: Confessions of a Medical Hitman, Jerome Kassirer's On the Take, adn Peter Gotzsche's Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime.
I acknowledge that I've not read any of this field but it struck me today as I was out walking, that these are the antecedents to transgenderism. This is part of how we got to it, how medical professionals are capable of horribly disfiguring and maiming children. There's a lineage there.
The first transgender clinic was established in Weimar Germany. Hitler shut it down as he thought it was degenerate. Getting doctors and nurses to murder disabled kids and old people was totally fine though.
Haven't watched this yet but I've heard it's good (if that's the right word): Caring Corrupted: The Killing Nurses of the Third Reich https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm7OGbhHzsI
They're taught a very foreign concept of ethics than the rest of us. "Utilitarianism." Not Virtue or Kantian as most of us think when we hear the word "ethical," our word, treating others as we wish to be treated, etc. Under Utilitarian ethics *anything*, any lie, any procedure, any intervention or nonintervention is ethical - as long as they can make the claim that it's in service to a "greater good." As they define a greater good. And don't you dare question them on their ethical integrity or if their definition of a greater good is what the masses believe! They are above reproach! They know better; they are better than the rest of us. They say.
So ANY lie and harm inflicted for their definition of a greater good is ethical. And proper. The "Noble Lie." Are you familiar with the Star Trek series/movies? Original characters Spock and Dr. McCoy, aka Bones. Spock the cool, calm, intelligent, logical Vulcan. Bones the emotional country doctor. Medical doctors are now trained to be cold, unemotional Spock's. No more warm, compassionate country Doctor McCoy's.
Take this example I personally sat in the public hearing to witness. Massachusetts state legislature, House Public Health Committee, 2023. The looks on the legislator's faces were stunned and aghast. The bill prohibiting these acts was later passed out of committee. But then went no further in the process. Massachusetts is the home of one of the top medical schools in the world - Harvard. Also Boston University and Tufts medical schools. They didn't want the bill passed. It's how they train doctors. They let their views be known behind closed doors in the very secretive Massachusetts lawmaking process after the hearing. They'll never testify publicly to defend it; it's indefensible to the ears of the unwashed, ignorant masses who might get the wrong ideas about what the practice of medicine really is all about.
"Nonconsensual Intimate Examinations." The "ethical" framing of "Sexual Assault." For a greater good. Utilitarianism. Despite this public hearing it is still legal in Massachusetts and most states for doctors to sexually assault their patients while they're anesthetized, without their consent:
Massachusetts 2023 H.2146 / S.1333
An Act prohibiting nonconsensual intimate examinations of anesthetized or unconscious patients
Where do you think Dr. Larry Nassar got the idea he could sexually assault all of those Olympic athletes without repercussions in the first place? Medical School!!!:
Utilitarian ethics systems lead directly to "ethical" mass murder and rape. It's trained out of them. Object to it? Gotta drop out of medical school for that. Or tell yourself it's all for a greater good. Depends on the definition of what "is" is? And "ethics."
Wesley Smith wrote a couple books warning of this many years ago. His cautions were well-founded:
Culture of death: The Assault on Medical Ethics in America
"Smith warns that future troubles could be tied to the fact that only 14% of doctors today report having taken the Hippocratic oath to “do no harm.” Smith even recounts episodes of doctors recommending that the old or sick be denied basic treatments which might potentially save life. This enlightening book unmasks unexpected occurrences in the present practice of medicine, and shines light into a future that many of us might not like."
FF - This is how medical doctors became the biggest early supporters of the Nazi party in Germany in the 1930's, even before they had seized total power. They were same kind of "ethical" as medical doctors are today. As both the books in my first comment caution. They become this because they are trained to become this. They're taught to "ethically" rape us in medical school. And countless other atrocious things I didn't get to sit in a public hearing that exposes them for. This is how it happens. And they have to navigate their consciences to continue in the field, rationalizing and justifying their harmful actions every step of the way. Just like the witnesses testified to in that hearing. Give it a listen. Then reply here with your thoughts and assessment of the testimony. It will help you to understand the real peril we all face from the practice of allopathic medicine.
I told my family that of the 475 VAxxx deaths reported on the TGA website (Australian Govt so called Authority) that they claim only 7 were directly related to the Vaxx the rest were they said "conincidences" and they agreed with the TGA!!
I think they are called "useful idiots" by the ruling "elite"
I prefer the term "deceived" which is not derogatory and leaves it open to them to be undeceived- but yes we must fear them as they are the ones who did the persecution of the Jews in Nazi Germany- on Kristallnacht - the infamous 'night of broken glass" when the deceived friends and neighbours of the Jews murdered them sent them off to concentrations camps and burned and looted the Jewish houses and shops and synagogues.
We must NEVER forget the 9th of November for this is when 'rational' neighbours became the enemies of those they were told to hate by the elite.
The same thing has happened since then in other countries, Rwanda, Czechoslovakia etc. but this night of the Kristallnacht is one of the most well known and documented and should stand as a reminder that such insanity is very plausibly going to happen again.
Have you read "The Happiest Man On Earth" by Eddie Jaku? A holocaust survivor who wrote this book at 100 years old, and also gave a TED talk! As you may guess by the title it is not the sort of book title you would expect from someone who survived the concentrations camps. Well worth the read for gaining an insight into how we can overcome the madness that is no doubt to come again from the scum of the earth who call themselves the 'elite'.
He timidly asked, "Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?"
The operator said, "I can, what's the name and room number?"
The old bloke in his weak voice said, "Fred Smith, Room 604."The operator replied, "Let me place you on hold while I check with his nurse."
After a few minutes the operator returned to the phone and said, "Oh, I have good news, his nurse just told me that Fred is doing very well. Hid blood pressure is fine; his blood work just came back as normal & his Covid has disappeared. His physician, Dr. Dill, has scheduled him to be discharged on Tuesday."
Old mate said, "Oh thank you. That's wonderful! I was so worried! God bless you!"
The operator replied, "You're more than welcome. Is Fred a friend of yours?"
The old bloke said, "No, I'm Fred Smith in room 604 & so far no one tells me shit.”
That was a soap opera. Hard to believe 4 years on this still exists. I recently got a reminder to get my Covid vaccine, which I ignore but it reinforces my perception that medical providers don’t have my best interests at heart. I can hear Roy Orbison singing “Running Scared.”
It is hard to believe, isn't it? How do these people manage to convince themselves that they're on the right side, after every claim that 'the experts' made has unravelled? I marvel at the apparently limitless human capacity for self-deception.

"Rules were issued from 'on high' and everyone below simply had to obey." I believe this is known as the Nuremburg defence, and as I recall, it wasn't accepted as a valid defence back then. On that note, it's worth pointing out that doctors had the highest rate of membership of the Nazi party of any profession, and were busy assisting Hitler with his democidal Aktion T4 plan well before the outbreak of WWII. But hey, those doctors were just obeying orders, right?
Totally agree that the family handled this absurd situation with tremendous grace. Wish I could have been a fly on the wall during that exchange with the DON!
I agree with you 100% that the ethical burden of health professionals is higher than that of the average person. Unfortunately, most of those health professionals don't have the moral fortitude to carry that burden. You are one of the few shining gems in that pile of dross. Sorry to speak so harshly of your former colleagues (or am I sorry?) but I said at the time, and I still believe it's true, that if even 10% of doctors had simply refused to go along with all the antihuman policies, the entire convid operation would have ground to a halt.

Wow. That is astonishing and seriously disturbing.
Agree wholeheartedly, FF. People's gullibility knows no bounds.
Most don't go into allopathic medicine to do this, but become this. How? How does this happen?
Can you recommend any books on this issue? On the nefarious history of the medical profession, on it's dark side?
Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for the subscriber's story,it remindef me of what I learnt from the scamdemic,three new words for me:

Also to REALLY pay attention to my good health so as to avoid the medical system AND,to avoid the corrupt justice system.
So far so good 😊.
You got yourself some five-dollar words right there!
