"The country’s mood wants doctors to fess up and apologize already."

It's the State Board of Medical examiners and whoever is running point on all those people. The medical and dental boards basically said "if you don't shut down your practice and lie about the vaxxes we will take away your license"

As unbelievable as it sounds that is EXACTLY what happened. So what we really need is a revolt against the licensing bodies and unaccountable regulatory apparatus that has ballooned by 4X since 2000. In 2000 the rules and regulations were approx 60 pages........ Now we are rounding over 200 pages.

WE need a parallel system. If your doctor comes out and "apologizes" then he/she/it will lose their license to practice. This is why I see a civil war is inevitable.

What really gets me is how in the past they allowed many to remain licensed even when causing harm to patients. My ex was almost killed by a surgeon who we later found out had previously had complaints against him dismissed and was still allowed to operate. The boards have been trash for some time.

Betsy - have you ever listened to the podcast series Dr. Death? Stories about how hospitals protected doctors that were harming patients. Just endings but too late for many that died or were disabled.

We are living in an upside down world.

While it's true about the regulatory agencies, if more doctors were brave enough to resist, they might have turned the tide against those governing bodies. Each person should answer to his/her own conscience. Sadly, too many people have no moral compass.

Or are easily deceived and were not taught critical thinking. I saw that in my own children's educations. I wanted to home school them but had to decide: provide an education or food and shelter. My children are now in their 40s and 50s, the age of many health care workers. So.

Fantastic comment. We also need to get rid of the PREP and CARES and the health agencies that have been captured by the industry that they are supposed to regulate and take away Big pharma’s immunity deal. No corporation should Be allowed to be above the law. Sorry, Pelosi.

"WE need a parallel system. "

Yeah... I haven't been to a doctor since Covid. I've lost faith.

Of course, they are still getting paid and have no consequences.

But... where is this parallel system? I suppose it won't take my worthless health insurance.

With the gene editing campaign into the food supply now in full swing, it is now incontestable. They really do mean to liquidate us.

An Agency authorized under state law called The Medical Practice Act...... or The Dental Practice Act.

The agencies take that law and from it derive ( that is the key) derive their rules and regulations that govern every single aspect of the practice of dentistry and medicine. They are not accountable to anyone. Kind of like our democracy. Most members are appointed by the governor. I have never seen them retract or reduce the number of regulations and/or their complexity. If you read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged then you will know this quote of hers to apply here and everywhere around the world.....

"“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”

― Ayn Rand

This is where we are today. Most good and moral people don't see this as a problem because they are in the matrix and they have never known anything else. I have no answer how we get out of this problem.
