I think there are additional reasons for the failure of the medical profession to look out for patients. I have been shocked at how trenchant and fervent is the belief in vaccines. I asked a young physician why he was going to vaccinate his young child and he honestly looked at me like I was crazy to ask this question. Secondly Allopathic physicians in particular are mostly the products of academic institutions. I believe many of them cannot conceive of how an academic institution could make mistakes such as the very faulty predictive models that were produced by various research units. It is even more foreign to them to consider that there might be actual deliberate deception or malfeasance involved. These were their teachers and colleagues, and I don’t think they can bear the thought of the fallibility of those people. Finally, medical practice is so frantic these days there just isn’t enough time or energy to do a lot of self study. It’s all very sad commentary on the state of our medical profession, I’m afraid. I continue to support my patients’ efforts to get the care they prefer, based on their preferences, knowing that I could be reported to our states medical commission for spreading “disinformation”.

I admire the ones like you that are "the real deal." Hopefully one day many more will open their eyes--although I am doubtful. It must be obvious to Drs & other medical personnel by now, that injuries such as strokes, heart attacks, myocarditis, etc..in large numbers of children & teens is not a normal everyday occurrence. If eyes aren't opened seeing this, they most likely will stay closed. Thank you for truly caring about your patients & supporting their needs. I SO wish there were thousands more like you that did....😪

Many many people in healthcare are either not seeing it, or are afraid to say anything (at least some are in this group I suspect). I am sorry to say I worry alot about what I say and do, and am careful about it. I don’t consider myself a hero but I did resolve to work my hardest not to lie to patients. We need all the support we can get-thank you and all the writers of articles like this. It is all making a difference.

"A Midwestern Doctor" addresses in great depth medical blindness and the reasons most doctors are failing to serve their patients in his substack at https://amidwesterndoctor.substack.com/p/the-origins-of-medical-blindness?r=rflm4&s=r&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web The reasons are historical and multifactorial.

A low level of financial freedom is good enough, however, we have been brainwashed otherwise, leaving us vulnerable. High fees for medical school has now turned the following employment into bonded labour with little time, diminishing freedom of thought and action. They have had their intelligence insulted through conditioning. They can still turn it around.

There will be places where you can practice independently, where people will pay, in a Direct Care practice, in freedom. Try it. It's the medicine of the future.

Sorry about what happened to you. I hope this change for you soon brings new exciting opportunities. As I see it, it is a crewel game of your money or your life. I chose life. I have plenty of nothing and left nothing to loose but my peace. No regrets. As it turns out I learnt many valuable things I never imagined possible. Meaningful things. Met gentle, courageous, beautiful people like yourself, I wouldn’t have normally met, during my unplanned path set before me. Take time to smell the roses.💕🍀🌷.

Love faith and hope, but the greatest of these is love. You have your loved ones.
