Corruption of Medicine

[GURPS]

The freeze of Deep State control extends even deeper than pop culture, news, all media, art, and fashion. Two weeks ago, the New York Times ran a cataclysmic piece by investigative journalist Charles Piller, headlined “The Devastating Legacy of Lies in Alzheimer’s Science.” Sadly, you will believe this unbelievable story, a sordid tale of grubby scientific grift, élite fraud, and real world harm to regular folks — a scheme that was 100% fueled by government diktat courtesy of billions of dollars of completely wasted NIH “grants.”



CLIP: Robert Kennedy, Jr. talks about the New York Times exposé at his confirmation hearing (0:36).

But don’t worry, they were billions of dollars in grants to the right scientists. There nothing to show for it all now, of course, but what difference does that make?

“Despite decades of research,” Piller wrote, “no treatment has been created that arrests Alzheimer’s cognitive deterioration, let alone reverses it.” He assembled a team of independent experts who reviewed 25 years of Alzheimer’s research. In other words, the same frozen post-Millennial period we’ve been talking about. “The dismal lack of progress is partly because of the infinite complexity of the human brain,” he noted, “but there’s another, sinister, factor at play.”

What sinister factor?

Piller’s team of experts identified nearly 600 dubious papers that he said have distorted the field — papers that have themselves been cited some 80,000 times more in the scientific literature. More to the point, all other Alzheimer’s theories were frozen out, pinning a single, wrong hypothesis in place and freezing all progress toward a cure. For 25 years.



The world desperately needs a cure for this devastating disease, which makes the scientific misconduct all the more insidious and indefensible. So, Pillar asked, Why would a scientist do it? There’s a very simple answer, and it is that the NIH picked a winner. The government’s premier health agency called the game, naming the amyloid hypothesis the winner. It then defended that wrong decision against all comers and, despite growing evidence to the contrary, steamrolled that theory while viciously canceling any rare honest scientists who asked questions.

Yes, but why? It will not surprise you that the last 25 years’ worth of NIH-sponsored, FDA-approved Alzheimer’s drugs generously profited big pharma while producing no quantifiable benefits for patients except drastically increasing their risks of death and making their Alzheimer’s worse:



This shocking scandal, all but lost in the tsunami of Trump 2.0 news, is painfully unforgivable. If this is the science, why should anyone follow it anywhere? The current road of science leads to death, serious brain injury, and shrunken grey matter.

Zero progress in Alzheimer’s. Understanding what has held up any progress in Alzheimer’s, maybe you can understand why there’s also been no meaningful progress in other major health problems for the last quarter century. If anything, we’re going backwards rather than forwards, defying the normal trajectory of the last 2,000 years of scientific revolution.

I could go on, and on, and on. But I’ll conclude with a personal observation. During the early pandemic, my office was swamped with “hospital kidnapping” cases where desperate families called us because their loved one went into the hospital for an unrelated condition, like a broken ankle, then failed a mandatory covid test, and before anyone knew what was happening, they were in a coma, on the ventilator.
https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch...bb866-74d9-4834-9b32-58706c59aa18_627x307.png
The reason the desperate families called lawyers was because the hospitals refused to discharge the patients so that the families could arrange alternative care. In cases we were forced to litigate, hospitals spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on defensive tall-building lawyers opposing our efforts to sue the hospitals to release those patients.

The individual stories are so hair-raising I hesitate to dive into the morbid details.

But I spent hundreds of hours investigating what was going on. Had the healers turned evil? Was the federally funded covid relief money so tantalizing that doctors and nurses and hospital managers cared nothing for their patients? Why did every single covid patient receive the exact same treatement protocol despite every case being different because individuals are different? Why did doctors refuse to try anything but the cookie-cutter treatment protocol even though covid was a “novel” disease?

It turns out the root cause of this tragic medical homogeneity wasn’t the doctors. What I found was much worse. I found the withered hand of government, right where Milton Friedman said it would be whenever you find a distorted market.

Here’s the problem: Most hospitals’ total income is almost entirely sourced from Medicare/Medicaid—the same agencies DOGE has been quietly auditing for the past week. In most cases, any hospital’s government funding exceeds 70% of total revenue. Hospitals basically have one customer, and it isn’t the patient.

Worse, Medicare/Medicaid establishes the “approved” treatment protocols for nearly every disease and condition, dictating what it will pay for, and what it refuses to pay for. Hospitals’ financial existence depends on compliance, and they had no choice but to obey. And on the flip side of the Judas coin, obeying was very lucrative.

In other words, the reason every COVID patient got the same useless, devastating Remdesivir/ventilator/opioid treatment is because partisan government bureaucrats dictated it and froze it into place. That’s it. And the same thing is true for nearly every other disease you can think of.

It's still Trump's fault, because: reasons. Also: Orange Man bad.

So there.

 

[seekeroftruth]

Oh my goodness.... I can't believe I am not going after thump for this. But I'm not. I think doctors' sainthood should be controlled.

But first.... Save a few keystrokes.... don't waste keystrokes on Musk and Trump..... use Muskythump instead!

Save some Medicare funding... make the doctors, practices, and hospitals Liable for the Results.

I have been commenting on other sites about Medicare costs.

I think doctors should all be required to carry liability insurance on top of the malpractice insurance. When a surgery goes south, the liability would pay NOT MEDICARE... NOT THE PEOPLE.... The doctor would have to be responsible.

When I was blinded by a retinal surgeon, it was done in one surgery... then he did three more "correction" surgeries... but I was already blind. He had to know nothing short of a retinal transplant would bring my vision back. But then he took me through three more surgeries.

He billed Humana and then Medicare paid their portion. I don't think Medicare or Humana should have paid for the other three surgeries. I think doctors should be required to carry Liability Insurance.... on top of Malpractice. Malpractice would pay if he poked a hole in the wrong eye... but liability should pay when he claims "I didn't do anything wrong".

Here in Arizona, Retinal Surgeons aren't even required to carry Malpractice Insurance!

It's like we treat doctors like they are all knowing miracle workers... and they're just human.

Had I not trusted the "doctor" because after all he is a "doctor" with a lot of expensive training.... I would not be blind. I had floaters.... he blinded me. I expected to see better.... he blinded me.

I don't know if "he" blinded me or if it was just "one of those things" but something went wrong while I was trusting him and he should be "liable" for the incident.... He failed to provide the service I, through my health insurance, was paying him for. Should he be paid????

People don't want to pay for abortions... so Obamacare is a problem....

Do people want to pay for blindings and cover ups? No? So now Medicare is a problem.

A bookkeeper would be able to track these trends.... four surgeries to one... and report the problem.

If a doctor consistently has to do three more surgeries than all the others.... then his liability insurance would go up or they would run him out of practice... but money would be in control.

I think doctors should all be required to carry liability insurance on top of the malpractice insurance. When surgery goes south, the Liability would pay: NOT MEDICARE... NOT THE PEOPLE.... Liability insurance... paid into by the doctor or the practice.

He may say "I did nothing wrong" but something happened and it should have been addressed without charge to the people.

Oh and Musk and Trump...... well I have contracted them to save a couple keystrokes.....

I say Muskythump..... yep thump like thumper in Snow White.

Save a few keystrokes.... use Muskythump instead!

Save some Medicare funding... make the doctors, practices, and hospitals Liable for the Results.

JD Vance: "I took the vax, and, you know, I haven't been boosted or anything. But the the moment where I really started to get red pilled on the whole vaxx thing was the sickest that I have been in the last fifteen years by far was when I took the vaccine. And I, you know, I've had COVID at this point five times. I was in bed for two days. My heart was racing."

"I was like the the the fact that we're not even allowed to talk about that, even, you know, I no no, like, serious injury. But but even the fact that we're not even allowed to talk about the fact that I was as sick as I've ever been for two days, and the worst COVID experience I had was like a sinus infection, I'm not really willing to trade that."

"And everybody that I know or a lot of people I know, they talk about the second shot that they got of the vaccine was really that made them really, really sick. Well, that's a side effect and not a side effect that we even talk about enough in this country."

Joe Rogan: "No. It's and it's also again, we're talking about companies that have a long history of lying and being forced to pay criminal fines, and then we're giving them this exemption from being responsible for any of the side effects."

I seldom watch TV, but when I do I see these commercials for one medicine or another, and during the commercial they start mentioning side effects. When I go to a doctor and they give me a new prescription for a medicine I never took before , I don't remember one doctor ever mentioning a side effect of that medicine. I usually go home and look it up on the internet. I suppose that is why Doctors hate the internet.

Good morning, C&C family, it’s Wednesday! In today’s roundup: tearing into the manufactured flu panic, the slow implosion of Big Pharma, and the MAHA movement’s latest victory as RFK Jr. launches an all-out war on chronic disease. Trump’s legal booby traps continue detonating, turning Biden’s own power grabs into weapons for the Deep State purge. Across the Atlantic, Europe is melting down even more hysterically after Trump’s latest diplomatic earthquake on Ukraine.

Obviously you don't know what liability/malpractice insurance is for. It isn't for those you think should have it from being paid by Medicare, Medicaid, or your insurance company. It is to cover claimed damages that they are accused of being the cause. Have you even bothered to sue your doctor?

 

[Hijinx]

One of the greatest problems to suing a Doctor is to find another Doctor to testify that the first one F'ed up.

 

[PJay]

my doctor mentioned the shot and offered it but didn't push it...he's a lucky man.

And there are many law firms that have access to medical experts and they know how to push the buttons to get an injured person compensation. Which would be what I would do instead of ranting that the US government needs to make doctors have liability/malpractice insurance so that Medicare/Medicaid/Private Insurance gets reimbursed for what they covered which isn't the purpose of such coverage.

IMO malpractice is one of the problems we have with medicine today.
Most Doctors spent so much of their pay in absorbing the cost of malpractice insurance.
So instead of starting a personal practice they joined communes like Medstar and the Shahs so they could get someone else to pay it. Pay for malpractice and nurses and office staff, and phone answering services that have a computer to get through before you can get to a human..

Most Doctors today are simply 9 to 5 office workers that send you from one Doctor to another.

Certainly lawyers who are a part of the lawsuit community, have lists of "Doctors" who will appear in court and swear to almost anything as long as they get paid.

MAHA: Paul Offit was paid a $1.5M salary by Merck while serving on Biden’s government advisory committee responsible for issuing guidance on its products. Furthermore he was making millions more in drug royalties.

But yesterday, just days into newly confirmed Senator Kennedy’s term, the UK Daily Mail ran what should be a very encouraging article under the headline, “RFK Jr issues two bombshell orders on vaccines in move that has mainstream doctors terrified.” That’s not all, either. Details of Kennedy’s first decisions are beginning to emerge, and they should be reassuring to his MAHA critics.

The first bombshell exploded when the CDC canceled its moronic annual flu shot campaign. Boom number one. This year’s campaign was branded “wild to mild,” with dramatic images of lions next to kittens, suggesting that the shots “tame” a virus into a feline companion or something. Pulling the campaign was common sense— even corporate media reported the flu jab efficacy was languishing around placebo levels. What’s the use?

Second, Kennedy has directed the CDC to stop with the Orwellian “nudge” tactics, fearmongering, and manipulative psyops, and focus its vaccine communications instead on the science, meaning in this case informed consent. For Portland readers, that means telling people about the real risks and benefits— without terrifying tall tales or emotional manipulation, just the facts. More common sense.

It’s hilarious. He’s daring Democrats to oppose informed consent. Common sense, yes, but of course, “common” sense has become very scarce over the last five years.

Next, remember these perfidious clowns?





Third, and maybe best of all, the CDC indefinitely suspended its 19-member, tri-annual “panel” of vaccine advisors, the so-called Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which during the pandemic rubber-stamped every new covid shot, whether for infants, pregnant women, or people who don’t want shots. Behold yesterday’s Washington Post headline:





Not just postponed. Postponed indefinitely. While Kennedy’s “friends” in the MAHA movement are busy calling him a sell-out and a turncoat, corporate media is running stories with paragraphs like this one, from the WaPo article:





WaPo said that unnamed “experts” have unlocked a new fear. “Experts,” WaPo vaguely reported, “fear that Kennedy — who has asserted the panel fails to adequately test vaccines and be transparent about safety data — could use his authority to potentially steer vaccine skeptics to the advisory committee or to abolish the panel altogether.”

Not that! Not dastardly vaccine skeptics! Not on their precious committee!

I, for one, would be fine with abolishing the panel altogether. It’s obviously useless. The one time it did stand up to Biden’s CDC over infant covid jabs, the CDC approved the shots anyway, and the APIC subsequently re-voted in favor. Totally useless.

News of the canceled meeting drew swift fury. More than 50 “medical experts and organizations” dispatched a strongly-worded letter to Secretary Kennedy, Senator Bill Cassidy (R-La.), who’d pushed Kennedy to agree not to change the current vaccine system, and CDC’s acting director, Susan Monarez, demanding they keep the panel’s current meeting and agenda.

To the “experts,” this is catastrophic news. “Without the meeting,” WaPo advised darkly, “Americans will have to wait indefinitely for the recommendations for newly licensed vaccines.” Also, pharma and its legions of remora-like hangers-on will have to wait indefinitely for incredibly profitable new vaccines.

Kennedy’s been on the job for one week. Constant carping from MAHA critics isn’t just misguided—it’s feeding ammo into Big Pharma’s machine gun batteries. Let the man work. We didn’t get into this mess in one day, and it will take some time to unravel. But it is happening.

If these early tremors are any indication, we’re on the brink of a seismic shift in America’s health landscape. It’s time to Make America Healthy Again.

COVID Shots Cripple Immune System — Possibly Permanently​

More proof that the COVID shots cripple, likely permanently, the immune system just broke from the noted conspiracy theorists at Yale School of Medicine.

Via Yale School of Medicine (emphasis added):

To explore potential pathobiological features associated with PVS [post-vaccination syndrome], we conducted a decentralized, cross-sectional study involving 42 PVS participants and 22 healthy controls enrolled in the Yale LISTEN study. Compared with controls, PVS participants exhibited differences in immune profiles, including reduced circulating memory and effector CD4 T cells (type 1 and type 2) and an increase in TNFα+ CD8 T cells. PVS participants also had lower anti-spike antibody titers, primarily due to fewer vaccine doses. Serological evidence of recent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation was observed more frequently in PVS participants. Further, individuals with PVS exhibited elevated levels of circulating spike protein compared to healthy controls.

As Alex Berenson pointed out, clinically detrimental reduction in T-cells is otherwise known as “AIDS” (acquired immune deficiency syndrome).
