I hear you. This has not happened over the last 2 years of Covid. Remember what the editors in chief of the 2 leading peer reviewed journals have publically stated, some back in 2002.
Dr. Marcia Angell, Harvard physician and editor in chief of the NEJM said:
“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor.”
Dr. Relman, another former editor in chief of the NEJM said this in 2002 - “The medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry, not only in terms of the practice of medicine, but also in terms of teaching and research. The academic institutions of this country are allowing themselves to be the paid agents of the pharmaceutical industry. I think it’s disgraceful.”
Richard Horton, editor in chief of the Lancet said:
“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness” (2). Horton R. Offline: What is medicine’s 5 sigma? [Last accessed August 5, 2015]. www.thelancet.com. Available from: http://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140-6736%2815%2960696-1.pdf.
They were telling us all quite clearly that the public health agencies, research centers and academic institutions of our country have been captured by the pharmaceutical industry. No one took any action. It is interesting that Richard Horton, then editor of the Lancet, is stil editor in chief and despite his cries of science "turning toward the darkness", HE is continuing to produce tainted science.
I feel your pain - all of us who aren't living in an alternate reality, feel it as well. We thought the Big Lie was a nightmare that was damaging our very democracy. The unnecessary deaths of half a million Americans however is a Bigger Lie I'm afraid.
The Lancet owes the scholarly world an apology. More generally, as you well point out, our institutions of public trust have thoroughly undermined themselves. I am overwhelmed by the range and depth of failure. Which is also the absence of checks and balances, whether academic (research), political, journalistic, or otherwise. We got here so quickly that it must have been long in the making. An erosion. The structures in place weakened, consistently compromised. Then with an additional stressor, the collapse -- the catastrophe. It's honestly like I am walking around in the ruins of the academic and intellectual world I grew up with, grew up in.
The good news, I suppose. Denmark has called the pandemic over. Japan never went in for vaccine mandates, and did allow doctors to treat Covid patients with ivermectin. The USA is not all the world. But I am still struggling to process it all: including and most disturbing the rage and hatred continually expressed by many of my fellow Americans against anyone who does not meet the ever-shifting definition of "fully vaccinated."
If the vaccine were a sterilizing vaccine, I might understand that rage and hatred a bit better. If Dying from Covid (as opposed to "Dying with Covid") presented a serious mortality risk to even a small percentage of the population -- and not a percentage of a percentage, I also might understand that rage and hatred a bit better.
Right now, I'm having trouble grasping it. It truthfully seems like the American public is being manipulated to destructive ends by a predatory elite. I hate conspiracy theories. But I don't know what else might explain it -- particularly since over the past two years, we've seen an immense transfer of wealth from roughly lower 60% percent of society to the upper 2%. But even if this does explain something, and again I hate conspiracy theories, how does that help us? I apologize for presently having no solutions to contribute.
Clarification: The Lancet owes the scholarly world an apology for the earlier essay published, which was orchestrated by Fauci, and meant to close the conversation on the possible (now, almost certain) lab-leak origins of Covid-19. Although the article you cite makes important claims, the MSM has learned it can pick and choose without repercussions (at least for the MSM).
Thanks for so eloquently pointing out the insane absurdity of everything.You commented on my piece that people don't believe it because it is unbelievable. Excellent point. I constantly rack my brain for strategies. It seems so obvious to some of us, then to realize how those in their hermetically sealed media bubble are still drinking the kool aid. We are getting closer to a tipping point -though a daunting challenge.
Thanks Diane. As we're both psychologists, I think we see things a bit differently than many people. We are both grappling with this horrific situation that we find ourselves in and then we're at a loss to explain how something so monumentally ugly and diabolical could have happened to our country......in plain sight no less. I know history will agree with us but until then, we suffer the prejudice and isolation that affects those of us who are also unvaccinated.
It's getting obvious that the virus and vaccines were manufactured as a scam by the very same oligarchs who shapes the media narratives. They own high stakes in all the relevant pharmaceutical companies. They own most of mainstream media. They network and cooperate with big tech. Just like how they took down Trump.
The network they have probably expands over nearly all the American health organizations and journals. And some European ones. Their recommendations are used by most of the world. They supress info on ivermectin and useful cheap drugs. So they can sell their snake oil vaxxes to the entire globe.
I have been steaming since the total censorship or bashing of the Senate Homeland Security Hearings in 2020.
How about printing up data/info highlights of the most recent yet again boycotted Hearings by Sen. Johnson and mailing them to all of our Government representatives? Signature required. To all local newspapers and TV stations. Bill Maher
Come up with a template “letter to editor” to send.
Print up info postcards for Early Covid Treatment info to be distributed where possible in public
I was so worked up after the Homeland Hearings that I wanted to print up the AAPS Covid care info and pass it out at Covid testing sites in NYC. Good intentions are nice, but action is the game changer.
I would be happy to donate and assist if anyone is interested in collaborating with any of these ideas.
Thanks Paula. As mentioned, the democrats loath Ron Johnson so I'm not sure who we would be attempting to convince of anything by highlighting his boycotted senate hearings. All of the scientific documentation has already been sent to every public health agency and multiple governors, Congress people etc. around the country. I don't suspect they've even read it. I personally sent by snail mail, registered/certified of course, to my governor in Oregon. Never heard a word. I started with my local mayor and public health official in Hood River and then moved forward and upward from there. I got ZIP.
I have tried to engage Bill Maher as I believe strongly that IF he had the correct information, he would be interested in having pertinent scientists on his show. If anyone has Bill's contacts, please let me know. I very much appreciate your willingness to participate Paula. I do believe, in the end, the truth will be revealed. I just want it to happen soon:)
Gosh I hear you! I sent priority mail letters to all my representatives in NY recently. Nada.
I post on FB Covid sites frequently plus my home page.
Immediately after the Homeland Security Hearings I sent info to Anderson Cooper’s partner who was a tenant of mine. Spoke to him about them as well in hopes he would convey to Anderson. Zip. Now of course after learning about the “Trusted News Initiative” it became much more clear.
It’s beyond breathtaking what has transpired and continues to, although some cracks are starting to appear.
As Dr. Kory mentioned so many months ago, we are fighting Goliath here. Big Pharma has its hooks in deep and the mesmerism is great.
Thinking about Bill Maher... note that Elon is sympathetic to the truckers, some tweets from him could help
Thank you for your excellent article, I will be sharing it!
Please tell me. I have a printer and paper. If I also wanted to start sending out packages of best documents to my local health and safety facilities. What would I send? Tom Renz has been on Bannon’s War Room last couple weeks to reach a larger audience. Would I send his .ppt presentation? How long before the insurance companies call foul? They will go bankrupt, the death toll and payouts are not sustainable! The HR departments of the companies that have mandated these jabs are 110% aware who is dying. I’m dumbfounded by all the “silence”. I ask God daily how this can happen?
I've been asking myself the same question Beth.....how could this be happening? I have found that printing up things and providing visual proof can be helpful. I would include all pertinent information - the lies about the hospitalizations and death vs other first world countries whose Covid numbers are different than ours. the science that proves that the vaccinated are equal spreaders of covid as the unvaccinated. I would print out the many, many pages of research on ivermectin ivmmeta.com and drop it on the desk and say, "Does this look like insufficient information on efficacy?" I would print out many trial site news reports on ivermectin www.trialsitenews.com - showing the scams by the FDA and Pfizer - I would include the 48 page document from the nebraska attorney general stating clearly that licensed physicians have the legal authority to prescribe any FDA approved medicines off-label. Anything you can get your hands on - print it out. The details about Uttar Pradesh. The failure of the WHO to reveal the contents of the "home medicine kits" and the Indian bar associations letter to sanction the WHO for preventing the facts about this amazing protocol that ended the pandemic of 130 Million people. I'd print out vigiaccess.org charts(the WHO's global adverse effects reporting system) about adverse effects around the globe from the vaccines. Then I'd try to get an in person meeting - ask for 30 minutes, to share your documents. Be VERY organized. Separate everything into files so that you can see where everything is and have a game plan how to proceed with each point.
The only people who can do anything in your state are state officials. I wish you good luck in being able to get in front of them.
It is traumatizing to know this, even if you can comprehend or incorporate it. Think of Iris Chang, who studied the Nanking Massacre to such depth that she went out into the Sunnyvale CA hills and shot herself. Think of the liberators of Auschwitz who stood there looking upon the emaciated survivors behind the fence and how they describe their inability to process, even visually, what they were seeing. No one believed the reports coming out of the death camps in Germany either.
The deportees just assumed it was the same old, same old, the Pale, and they were lied to, of course, about where they were going. It is devastating to sensitive compassionate people to believe this and know this. I have known a long time about pharma, the takeover of journalism, how we are no longer a representative government, and still, I come up against some new information which is disseminated by a highly credentialed medical person, with no conflict of interest, and at first I just reject it. Carom off of it, deflect away. There is something deeply psychological going on that may in part be due to our overuse of our left brain function (Iain MacGilchrist) and our behavioral immune systems https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/science/articles/doidge-plague-journal-immunity.
And to ask people to know this, to reject their baited and switched trusted news sources, after all the trauma of the pandemic, is to ask a lot. It is a psychological conundrum.
VERY interesting article. Thanks for sending it along. Yes, you're right - people are afraid and overwhelmed by the last 2 years. Cognitive dissonance accounts for the majority of reasons why people will not change their attitude or beliefs about all of this.
