Regarding the infant deaths, the sad reality is the “modern medicine” is killing our babies. The deaths started rising when the vaccinations started coming: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/how-sids-became-the-perfect-cover

I live in Amish country in Lancaster PA, the Amish take no vaccines and don’t have SIDS or autism

The Federal Govt has been studying this outcome for two decades now I’m still wondering why they’re stalling on publication of their data

Maybe they’re wrong and don’t want to talk about it or they’re grifters using the gravy train (never come up with cures as that would stop the gravy train) to personally pad their pockets at the expense of Americas children

"At the same time the capacity to assert social and political control over the individual will vastly increase. It will soon be possible to assert almost continuous control over every citizen and to maintain up to date files containing even the most details about health and personal behavior of every citizen.....

These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities. Power will gravitate into the hands of those who control information. Our existing institutions will be supplanted by pre- crisis management institutions, the task which will be to identify in advance likely social crises and to develop programs to cope with them."

Lots of people confuse the word ‘ignorant’ with the word ‘stupid’.

For instance, your saying “I don’t even know if they are ignorant” simply means that you don’t know whether they don’t know. Ha. Ignorance is the lack of knowledge, stupidity is not seeking knowledge when you are made aware of your lack of it, and your need for it.

My coworker who mentioned all the bad things coming out about the covid vax, though she and her family took Pfizer, said thatvshe is convinced that her 20 year old son's immune system problems came from the vax.

My 52 year old second cousin, otherwise healthy, just died in her sleep from a blood clot. Yes, it could have been anything else. But knowing that she most likely had the vax, as she was a liberal, one cannot help but wonder.

The problem is: doctors have zero interest in determining cause (my apologies to all the sincerely good docs out there like Kory and Marik and Bowden et al, not meaning ya’ll). I’ve said this before and will repeat: I work for a group of eye drs. They have some cases of Neurotrophic Keratitis. Numbers definitely up since 2022. This Can cause major issues with the cornea. Almost all stemming from probable HZV (shingles) resurgence. Guess what can cause that? Most of you can easily guess. Do my docs EVER ask the “elephant-in-the-room” question? That would be “When did you have you last Covid shot and when did your symptoms begin?” Due to my position I was able to legally access records (because of their chronic concerns the patients OFTEN call and I am the phone contact for medical questions), and strangely (don’t ask me why b/c we do not always get shot records) I was able to confirm 8 of our 10 worst cases had had the jabs and had boosters on top of that. The other 2 patients I simply don’t have the records, unknown status … but I can guess.

The first obvious question: Why does a 20-year-old need a vaccine for a disease that would not kill them anyhow? I imagine it was probably for college or some sort of other reason, or they were fully indoctrinated.

Sorry to hear about your 52-year-old cousin. We can acknowledge it could be anything else, but my rule is, if they are going to say it's Covid, perfectly reasonable to ask if it is the injection. At the very least, it doesn't appear to have helped.

I don't know that they actually are "smarter". It is easier to believe they are, in fact, ignorant of nearly all advanced science and technology based solely on their main beliefs, self-segregation, and in-bred nature.

I would guess they do not vaccinate simply because they do not trust what they do not understand, which really, is a very good reason.

My great grandson is now 3, and his parents have been adamant about no vaccines. He's as sharp as a tack, and has had only the normal childhood sniffles, whereas a lot of kids his age are kind of sickly at this point. He started attending a little private pre-school with children of mostly like-minded parents about a year ago, but there had to be ONE...one mother reported the school to the CA government for allowing the kids into a school unvaccinated. She didn't talk to the woman who runs the school or the parents of unvaxxed kids to discuss the matter. She went straight to the authorities. So all the untaxed kids had to leave or the govt would shut the school down. My great grandson is heartbroken. What a dilemma for the parents. Of course we know how that snitch votes.

No not “required” but strongly recommended. The only required one is Vit K (which is not just a vitamin) if you want to circumsize your baby boy in the hospital. Less and less are falling for that now. And if you still want to, wait til day 8 when the baby makes its own clotting agents and do it at the pediatricians office.

God told Abraham that Isaac should be circumcised on the 8th day of life. If God said it there was a very good reason for that specific instruction.

Expand full comment
Peace's avatar

Why circumcision on the 8th day in the bible? According to the website, Evidence-For-The-Bible:

“The human body has 2 blood clotting elements. One of them is called Vitamin K. Vitamin K is not formed in the body up until the 5th to the 7th day. The 2nd clotting factor which is essential is called Prothrombin. It surprisingly enough develops to 30% of normal by the 3rd day of life and after that…peaks at 110% on the 8th day, just before leveling off at 100% of normal.

“If vitamin K is not present when a baby boy is circumcised, the baby will bleed to death. The reason why Yahweh established, Day Eight for circumcision is that vitamin K peaks in a newborn at 8 days of age. The 8th day is the optimum day for circumcision because of the highest presence of the clotting factor vitamin K. Today when baby boys are circumcised within a couple of days of birth, they are administered vitamin K to help with blood clotting.”1

I’m sure babies subjected to that just can’t wait to get born!/s/.

Dear God, someone stop the lunatics, while there’s still any quality left to our lives.

They’re out of control and have been for a very long time.

My first birth was in 1975-midwife delivery, small rural town. The morning after, I’m minding my own business at my parents’ house, basking in the glow of my newborn (husband had gone to work as my mother was with me),

when Nurse Cratchit from the health department turned up at the door.

(Her name actually was Crocket and I later learned she was a big ole lesbian).

The German midwife was nothing if not efficient, so she had bright and early turned in the birth certificate and Crocket got on her high horse to hightail it my way. She came storming in, lecturing all the way about the dangers I had put myself and my baby in with a midwife delivery and no prenatal care (the latter she was demonstrably wrong about).

Then she demanded to strip my baby girl, examine her head to toe and prick her heel for some sort of test. To this day, I regret allowing her to do that, though she probably would have reported me otherwise.

For all the negatives of the Hippie movement, I have to be thankful that I wanted midwife deliveries back in 1975.

I had ended up back in my rural home community, where all my friends, neighbors and family thought I was nuts, but they respected my choice; probably because I made it clear I didn’t care what they thought.

None of them had realized such a birth was even an option.

The answer is quite simple. The American medical establishment is toxic. Instead of being an institution of healing, modern medicine is focused only on killing anyone under it's care.

The current medical paradigm of "healthcare" based on profitable, toxic therapies is bankrupt. This paradigm needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, this bankrupt paradigm is institutionally locked in place and Americans are enslaved to the system via "health insurance". Things are only going to get worse.

Agreed. And there was a noticeable minority of people speaking out against it from early 2020. And by mid-2021 the hyperbolic rhetoric by pro-vaxxers convinced me it was a serious problem. I remember the claim that after the first two shots you would be protected. Then they came out and stated you needed a third shot (I'm guessing research came back showing the body was able to "fend off" the first two shots.). It was at that point I became certain it was a malicious program.

My wife and I had, serendipitously, dinner with a couple in early 2021. One of them was the senior scientist at one of the COVID vaccine makers. That person was in charge of the COVID vaccine project. That person quit upon realizing what it did. The couple strongly advised us against taking the jab. (I did not want it, but had to take the first two shots because my job required some international travel.) My wife and I were skeptical of that person's claim until mid 2021 when they all showed up to be true.

Event 201 shows that infrastructure was already in place prior to 2020.

This thing was in the works for years - diseases were the next "shock and awe" campaign directed inward at the American public after 9/11. Witness West Nile, anthrax, SARS, Mad Cow Disease, H1N1, Ebola, MERS, measles (returning after being eliminated from the US in 2009), Zika, monkeypox, bird flu, etc.. AIDS was the precursor to all of this, mismanaged by Fauci way back in the 80s.

I’m pretty inquisitive and read from a lot of different sources; I’m a storehouse of useless information. And I was not aware of COVID/MrNA prior to 2020. Also remember that those knowing people were portrayed as lunatics back then and most of the US trusted the wrong people. So I can see how Trump 1.0 would trust advisors who were in the establishment. In retrospect I can say there was not enough skepticism, but it was a different world in 2020.

Trump 2.0 would not make the same mistake again. I love how he is taking people victimized by “the swamp” and putting them in charge of the departments that attacked them. If anyone now comes to him with “experts say…” he would probably respond with “now bring me people who disagree with the experts”.

I have written about this before. I went to two Trump rallies in the very locked down period of the fall of 2020, pre election. If you never attended one you have no idea of the popularity of this president. Airport hangars were used to facilitate crowds in locked down states. He packed them in. They loved him. He gave hope this would end. The only time the crowds became quiet was when he mentioned Operation Warp Speed. We all knew. No one booed him but they weren’t enthusiastic either. I believe Warp Speed was a military DARPA operation fed to the President as a way out.

Remember the Dems weren’t going to touch any vaccine Trump touted, which made staunch Republicans want it all the more. Then in March the Dems became the vaxx pushers. In June, FJB, stated he would never mandate the vaxx. By July, he was impatient with all of us and mandated it everywhere he could. How soon everyone forgets.

I've heard it explained (and don't buy it) that now it comes down to semantics. Trump was praising the ability to bring the injection to market, not the injection itself. This would be like praising the process DDT was created rather than the effect it had on the citizens.

The Taylor Swift 💍 announcement got over 20 Million likes in just a few hours on Instagram, where she broke the news. In comparison, a Trump post never gets more than 500k total. So we can’t deny her reach but that said, she is NOT effective politically. She has proven she is not able to sway Republicans. She doesn’t have that ability so I don’t think she is going to try again; I really don’t. She tried and failed and she saw Mahomes and everyone else is for Trump. 🇺🇸 yesterday Trump actually said, Taylor is a good person and I wish her well. It was all over the news.

For 4 despotic years we were subject to the most repugnant healthcare coalition ever installed to the upper echelons of American government…. a cabinet laden with cognitively impaired drainholes positively awash in reckless academic tutelage sharing the podium with a most nauseating assortment of liberated ornate sissies and sniveling milk sops. Everyday was an adventure with these cringe worthy halfwits on patrol.

Former HHS Director, predatory capitalist and certified zipperhead Xavier Becerra was - and still is - a militant covid vaccine mandate supporter. (If you think Gruesome Newsom is bad, buckle your seatbelts California ... .Gubernatorial candidate Becerra has a Brave New World in store for you. “Single file, cretins!”). Saucy Assistant Health Secretary - and butt of all jokes - Rachel Levine, who upon first doubletake has the appearance of someone who would be best suited giving medical advice to my worst enemy, introduced us to “impulse butcher therapy” for confused kids. Sound counseling, indeed. ……….Birx. Fauci....Should I go on?

Anyone who doesn’t see RFK and Co. as a significant upgrade (flawed as they may be) to the previous administration's demented line up of muppets and their Magic 8 Ball approach to a healthy body, mind and soul is being unrealistic, plagued by anger or simply not paying attention….or perhaps deeply vested in the goat rodeo industry, in which case they are as passionate as they are irrational.

Mr Childers: IMO you are wrong! When you see your neighbor’s beard on fire… 🔥 check yours!

Mr Lutnick … stop trying to impress Pres Trump. The president has sufficient Ego. As to your comment on Lockheed Martin and I intimate it refers to other companies as well that “receive government weapons contracts funding exclusively from the US government “ - stop trying to intimidate our government weapons contractors with your Bullshit… these weapon contractors work exclusively for our country and they are mandated secrecy,,, but any of these govt contractors could start…. Accepting contracts for developing and constructing weapons from any of these countries: fromRussia, From Iran, from North Korea; Venezuela or any other terrorist entities and remain profitable.

Are you trying to run this country or are you trying to destroy it … ? These govt contractors can make money from the US — our country-or turn to our enemies or for that matter turn to terrorists or the Drug Cartel ( as clients).

I come from a Communist country -many of the now citizens of the US come from Communist countries and IMO The Trumps Administration should not give the impression they are willing to use the same political strategies as Communists do— who immediately upon attaining power: 1) change the monetary system 2) launch an agrarian reform, 3) espouse condemnation — the power the government gives itself to practice unconstitutional eminent domain .

Beware power is not blinding your judgment. I am a Trump follower. I don’t think you are giving him the right advice.

Who do you think you are Mr Lutnick and who gives you the right to intimidate others.

Mr Lutnick: IMO Mr Lutnik should stop interviews with the press ….intimating what Pres Trump will or will not do.

These companies Lockheed and Boeing are private enterprises and Pres Trump knows what he can or cannot do constitutionally as it relates to private enterprises.

The issue with Intel was different. Allegedly Pres Biden gifted Intel some millions ( not from Biden’s inheritance fund but from taxpayers funds) hence Trump thought and rightfully so that Intel should return the gift to their rightful owners…. U and me — The tax paying citizens wherein Intel chose to give us a 10 percent stake. Pres Trump is looking out for the tcitizens of US -

This is different —Mr Lutnik was now talking about private enterprises.

Mr Lutnik should be careful with his language and abstain from withholding important and relevant info which left unsaid -/can mislead or create false impressions in the citizens of the US.

I am confused by his statements. What exactly did Lutnick mean The President was planning to do about These 2 companies? I know President Trump has no problem to say very explicitly what he is going to do.

The population is tired of propaganda and prefers clear and honest statements of intent and purpose from our government officials.

Certainly Pres Trump, his cabinet and Congress have the right to question uCIA,FBI, Dept of Justice, Dept of Education, FDA, HhS and any govt entity.

Boeing and Lockheed are private companies vital to our weapon development and construction. This is a matter of national security and I am sure these companies would be more than willing to work with our President to pursue his agenda — which is the agenda of the US. No need to nudge. This is a matter of national security.

What I think is —Mr

Lutnick should mind is the use of his language - that he may not appear to be withholding important and relevant information that could -innocently -mislead the public, or the private companies that work hand in hand with Pres Trump to protect our nation or else create confusion and false impressions in the citizenry.

Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises. Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.

Jeremiah Davidson's avatar

This is a troublesome verse for many reasons, Jamie, not the least of which is that implication you mentioned. For example, singing praises is a good idea when you are sick, or when you are suffering, as well as when you’re cheerful. In fact, it may very well be more beneficial than having the elders of the church come and pray for you. In my experience with the church, I have witnessed, many times, people praying for the sick to no avail. The idea of confessing your sins to one another could only result in gossip fodder for people that you thought were your friends. It certainly is of no value in obtaining forgiveness for your sins.

And then this; “The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours”, which speaks to what you pointed out, Jamie. The writer is correct in saying that the prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much, but then compares us to Elijah. At that time there was only one man on earth that could have prayed to stop or start the rain and have it be effective.

…I would venture to say the same is true today

Why ask God if I don’t believe he wills it for me

This is the verse that came to mind:

“But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.” James‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬

And in regards to the faith of others aiding in healing:

“And when he saw their faith, he said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.””

‭‭Luke‬ ‭5‬:‭20‬ ‭

I have a lot of thoughts on your idea on confessing to others…

It isn’t in telling another trustworthy person that we are forgiven but it definitely changes something within us. I have seen this prove true time & time again. I do not however think we should tell people that do not have our highest good in mind.

I hate to intrude on this conversation. It is wonderful to read. But I do have a question: How do you explain this verse?

2Timothy ch 2:13

“if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.”

Because, you see, I am 74 years old. I have been through some hard trials. I had little to no faith in the end, and yet He still “worked all things”for my and my family’s good.

He has been faithful when I have been

UNfaithful. And when I was without faith, He never changed. He remained Faithful.

I had read that verse many times, but had simply read past it. But one night, all I could see was darkness, and a voice spoke and said “I am Faithful, I cannot deny Who I Am. I Am Faithful.”

The trial went on until we had lost all faith, had no hope. And one day, the answer came, when we least expected it.

Expand full comment
Jamie's avatar

I’m so glad you weighed in on the conversation. Never ever an interruption!

I have lived through the darkness more than once, but it was a hell of my own making because God is faithful and He waits for our return. It is not about losing salvation, but sanctification.

He heard my prayers and kept me from irreparable harm as He did you. But the blessings of a faithful life were stalled out for a while. There is so much more we gain when we have a faithful relationship with Him.

Keep walking and talking with Him and you’ll see how much better it can get.

I don’t have all the answers but I love to talk about what God has done & continues to do!

If I did not adequately answer you, please tell me.

Expand full comment
CStone's avatar

Yes.

My trials came one after another, so quickly as if we were in a fight…..taking blow after blow. One day my faith would soar and my husband would be defeated, the next day we were all discombobulated.

Our first trial came when we were very young g parents. But it was such a time of blessing trial.

The company my husband worked for closed. We had two small children. Our hot water went out, we had little food in the house.

My husband was an engineer, and had not been without a job since he began working…..at 12 years old. He just automatically thought he could get a job. Well, he couldn’t. Those jobs, at the time were few and far between.

We kept praying. I had dreams, and everything happened just as in the dreams. I saw hands opening our mailbox and envelopes being opened and coins falling out. COINS!! Not dollar bills!!! Coins!!! And a voice said “This is how I will supply your needs.” And a person we barely knew walked up to my husband after church one day, shook his hand, left some money in his hand and walked away. $250.00. It wasn’t coins, but compared to our need, it was.

We were not prepared for this. We were young, we had little savings and had to buy tires for the car, which had emptied those savings. Our house payment was 3x the amount in his hand.

But then, a friend backed up her care to our house and filled the freezer of our fridge with meat.

We took cold showers that winter, as we did not have $34 with which to buy a heating element, and we thanked Him for clean, running water.

Then, one day, my husband called me, all excited, at work. He said “Babe, you aren’t going to believe this! But I laid my hands on the hot water heater and said “God, you created the heavens and the earth. This is not too hard for you”…..and then he said to me “AND THE HOT WATER HEATER CAME ON!!!!”

Then the trials became harder, and they came faster, and every single trial, at the end, I failed.

At the end I had no faith, no hope.

And that’s exactly the moment when He decided to act on our behalf……

I’m there again.

No more hopes.

No more dreams.

Little, if any faith.

It looks hopeless. And there seems to be no end. No way out.

But….

It. Is. Written. “If we are faithLESS, He REMAINS Faithful. He cannot deny WHO HE IS. He Is Faithful.”

It has been at least a year since I last went to a CB, a former favorite place, and I didn't think much about it at the time but I still remember as I was taken to our table, at least one of the workers had a big woke aura about them, I just assumed they were having trouble finding workers. Now I suspect it was intentional. I won't be going back any time soon.

So, infant mortality started climbing just about 9 months after the COVID vaccine was forced on everyone. I'm baffled. Perhaps everyone who went to get the vaccine was exposed to something in the air. Or the stress from the fear of COVID. Or maybe the act of going to get a vaccine causes changes in the body outside of the vaccine itself. Or maybe it's because going to get the vaccine changed peoples' schedule. Man, this is tough to figure out. Any other hypotheses?

Thoughts:

1. Thankfully in Mississippi, in 2023 only 4 abortions were reported since the near ban took effect. That doesn't account for people who order up the abortion pill from places like California.

2. Covid shots most definitely play a roll in the born baby deaths. Whether it is the 'kill shot' or a tipping point of cumulative garbage (aluminum, etc) they try to give babies in their first weeks, months, year that is what needs serious review. Parents at this point should just stop all jabs. Then watch the pediatricians go hyperbolic due to the lost revenue they get from insurance companies when they get X% of their patients to certain bonus payment thresholds. Pediatrician practices will be caught in a quandary of whether to kick out the 'bad parents' or adjust their business models if enough parents get smart. [I personally think all these jabs are there to create a medical dependent class, needing more pharma intervention, $$$$.]

3. On the burn bags, my guess is some of the Deep Staters wanted to 'pull a Bolton' and have material for their own books in the future.

4. Finally, Trump and his team need to just stop the Chinese student visa's to our colleges, and also revoke most H1B tech visas. Give businesses a 6 month window to ramp up training for most of the jobs that are being outsourced to Asian and eastern European labor. Put tariffs on that labor. From industry knowledge, I would say a nice fat 100% tariff would get things on the right track. And use those funds to assist stem grads with 3.0 GPA+ in paying off loans if they can't get a job in their sector of focus.

Only thing I can think of is that is not a 'final' number, and is just being tossed out there now in Trumpian style as larger negotiations are going on. Could be a 'throw away' if China goes hardline on something. But makes Trump, to the Chicoms, look amenable. I will reserve final judgement until any official 'agreement' is officialized between the two countries. India is being a bit uncooperative right now. That is where the H1B's are most prevalent. (Not to mention the mega amount of offshoring done there in IT, visas aside. It's all a scam. These aren't geniuses doing genius work. Should be tariffed to bring parity back to the US IT worker. Dating myself, but I remember when we had the wave of Russian and eastern European coders come over in the 1990's/early 2000's, there was no way for the US HR department flunkies to check on the claimed credentials of Yuri who wanted a coding job. They weren't going to call to Russia, since they didn't speak Russian, to see if he had graduated with an engineering degree from the Lenin Polytechnical Institute. He was cheaper and that is what counted.

H1B HAS TO GET FIXED. It has gutted the American middle class, and brought in huge waves of people who do not have any ties to the cultural areas we take for granted until we saw/see them whittled away. It is not about knowing foreigners who happen to be nice. Most are. And it isn't about 'gratitude', many are. It would take 1-2 years but businesses will whine and moan, and then adapt.

Had to weigh in on the Cracker Barrel debacle. Robby Starbuck released a scathing video showing the deep deep roots of DEI at Cracker Barrel. Retaining the logo is just throwing the dog a bone. The DEI runs deep with this one. At any rate, about the time they started diving headlong into DEI, the company lost its way. Their food quality began to nosedive along with customer service. When food and service is hit or miss and one gets excited because you got what you ordered and it was actually good, the company has a serious problem that no logo can fix. On a whim, my husband and I went to the local Cracker Barrel on Monday night. It was empty. Order was wrong. Food was bad. Young server was more interested in chatting with other servers than doing her job. And please do not think I am exaggerating on this next part...the cashier took 20 minutes to ring up our order with some extra items we purchased in the shop. They are sunk if they don't get the DEI out the door and focus all their efforts on serving good food with good service.

I believe DEI is a huge problem but quite honestly quality and service have been going down everywhere for at least 5 years. My husband and I talk about it daily. In addition, the people who typically work min wage jobs *I have no idea the Gen but 16-25 yos* really do NOT want to work. Most of them. Talk to any manager or business owner and they will tell you how hard it is to get good employees. People who work hard and care about cust service. Not more worried about what instagram or tick tock says. People who won’t call in sick because their foot hurts or they are too sleepy. Its very challenging.

I agree that service in general has declined overall. However, I do often see young people working in customer service positions who are extremely polite, friendly and helpful.

1d

The muslim's world is driven by fear.

It is their religion (fear of Allah) and the underlying principle of their entire civilization (if I may abuse that word sufficient to stretch it to encompass their existence).

In response to this, they divide the world into two categories:

(1) those things protected by forces I fear

(2) those things protected by forces who fear me, or not protected at all

The Western world was once and not that long ago clearly in Category 1.

It is now, as a consequence of various contradictory themes running through the decline of our civilization, clearly in Category 2.

When you catch a muslim stealing something, he will tell you directly "If is was important to them, they would have protected it!" (locked it up, hidden it, taken it with them, guarded it, etc)

This is how he thinks about his own family, wife, sisters, children, etc. He guards them constantly against exactly this thinking in his own society. He knows it very well. When he sees a woman unaccompanied AND scantily clad (by his own standards) he doesn't think about what she is. She is automatically and instantly seen to be unguarded and therefore unimportant to her "owners".

Thus he treats her as having no value, accepting the valuation placed on her by those who "should" be protecting her. This is not his decision and he feels no responsibility for it, nor shame for treating her accordingly.

Obviously, this thinking is utterly alien to modern western societies and totally antithetical to classic Christian civilization.

These two violently opposite ideas cannot peacefully coexist. Multiculturalism, when combining muslims and modern Christians, IS a suicide pact. He sees this clearly, even if we do not.

There is an old saying that very clearly articulated this reality:

"The muslim is either at your feet or at your throat."

I pray RFKj removes all incentive kickbacks doctors get for each RX they prescribe. Let’s make it illegal. I didn’t realize they got $$ for handing out prescriptions/certain treatments, vaccines until Covid exposed their ugly deal with the devil.

My mom’s dr used to dispense meds from his office stash 😳 It was in the ‘70’s. He retired when that became illegal. Can not fathom why that was ok.

Most doctors already are... it is called 'Standard of Care', easy to access on the internet ( a chimp could do it) and doctors are not allowed to stray... or face loss of license and/or fines... (remember Covid restrictions on care/treatment?) and guess who develops the standards?

Yep. Big Pharma.
