One of the most vital issues of all is the matter of “trusting the science”. It is inevitable that we all rely on what we are told has been “scientifically proven”. But, mountains of evidence proves that the world of science has been deeply corrupted, yet the majority of the public do NOT realize this critically important fact. It is a tragic mistake to believe what we are told regarding the most important aspects of our lives. Please do NOT blindly trust the “settled science”, the corrupted medical establishment, or heavily controlled corporate media.. Honest scientists and doctors have bravely warned of this systemic corruption, but most people have never heard anything other than what the corrupt establishment wants them to hear.
1. Dr. Marcia Angell, Editor in Chief of the New England Medical Journal (NEMJ),
“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 of the New England Journal of Medicine”
2. Dr. Richard Horton, the current editor-in-chief of the Lancet – considered to be one of the most well respected peer-reviewed medical journals in the world.
“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.”.. ..“Journals have devolved into information laundering operations for the pharmaceutical industry”
3. Dr. Herbert L. Ley Jr, former Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration
“The FDA protects the big drug companies, and is subsequently rewarded, and using the government’s police powers, they attack those who threaten the big drug companies. People think that the FDA is protecting them. It isn’t. What the FDA is doing and what the public thinks it is doing are as different as day and night.”
4. Dr. Raeford Brown, chair of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Committee on Analgesics and Anesthetics
“Congress is owned by pharma.”
5. A group calling itself CDC Scientists Preserving Integrity, Diligence and Ethics in Research, or (CDC SPIDER), put a list of complaints in writing in a letter to CDC Chief of Staff. The members of the group have elected to file the complaint anonymously for fear of retribution.
“It appears that our mission is being influenced and shaped by outside parties and rogue interests… and Congressional intent for our agency is being circumvented by some of our leaders. What concerns us most, is that it is becoming the norm and not the rare exception,” the letter states. “These questionable and unethical practices threaten to undermine our credibility and reputation as a trusted leader in public health.”
6. Dr. John P. A. Ioannidis, Editor-in-chief, European Journal of Clinical Investigation (2010 - Present)
“most current published research findings are false.”
7. Dr William Thompson Senior Scientist at the CDC (Center for Disease Control),
“I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism. Decisions were made regarding which findings to report after the data were collected, and I believe that the final study protocol was not followed.”
8. Assistant Professor Ray Moynihan , one of the leaders of The BMJ's campaign:
“When we want to decide on a medicine or a surgery, a lot of the evidence we used to inform that decision is biased," "It cannot be trusted. Because so much of that has been produced and funded by the manufacturers of those healthcare products.”
9. Dr. Fiona Godlee, editor of the BMJ,
"I think we have to call it what it is. It is the corruption of the scientific process.”
10. Susanna Rees, an editorial assistant with a medical writing agency until 2002
'Medical writing agencies go to great lengths to disguise the fact that the papers they ghostwrite and submit to journals and conferences are ghostwritten on behalf of pharmaceutical companies and not by the named authors,' she wrote. 'There is a relatively high success rate for ghostwritten submissions - not outstanding, but consistent.'
11. Sydney Brenner, winner Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2002.
“And of course all the academics say we’ve got to have peer review. But I don’t believe in peer review because I think it’s very distorted and as I’ve said, it’s simply a regression to the mean…..I think peer review is hindering science. In fact, I think it has become a completely corrupt system.”
12. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor at Stanford University Medical School, a physician and epidemiologist
“when people say follow the science, what I’ve seen is they often mean censor scientists who don’t agree with some scientists…the people who are sort of controlling policy.”
13. Kamran Abbasi, executive editor British Medical Journal
“Science is being suppressed for political and financial gain. Covid-19 has unleashed state corruption on a grand scale, and it is harmful to public health.”
Science is for sale. I perused and obtained a degree in chemistry and physics because I was in search of the truth. I finally found truth in the Bible.
As an aside, while driving my kid to school this morning... I got behind a car with a Pfizer bumper sticker. Didn't even know they made those things. Yikes. The cult is stronger than I realized. I thought the bumper stickers of "In Fauci, We Trust" were over the top. I was wrong :)
This is it in a nut shell, just as you say. And as an addition ... there can can be no law without truth. That why we put the hand on the Bible, and say, "so help me God".
Perjury is violation of the Ninth Commandment, the bearing false witness. Lying is a violation of the first four Commandments as lying does not glorify God.
People want so badly to believe in SOMETHING. Being separated from any kind of religious belief now means they will believe in just about ANYTHING. Yes, even Pfizer.
They need to hand them out with every vaxx and an extra gold star for each booster for being a good sheep. Then we can easily assess the scene of a vaxxident or know who to steer clear of on the road. Seriously.
Hah. In Hamilton Montana in the neighborhood around the NIH’s Rocky Mountain Labs were yard signs saying Thank You Dr Fauci with his picture and hearts. It was disgusting.
If it makes you feel any better, there is a billboard on the outer banks of NC that has two photos. One is of Jim Jones saying “I got 580 people to drink my koolaid” Next to him is Fauci giving him a superior lol, saying “Amateur”
I can top that- on the interstate here in Florida, I was behind a car that had a license plate that read "VACCINE8" I guess they feel so strongly that they decided to get a vanity plate!
Don't miss this 30 minute HIGHWIRE segment - Del Bigtree and Jeffery Jaxen present excellent highlights of the DeSantis Grand Jury press release and comments by Public Health Integrity Committee. - At the end, Bigtree brilliantly calls out Steven Templeton, Jay Bhattachary, Martin Kulldorff, Joseph Fraiman, who's stated goal is to get people who have lost faith in the "system" to "BELIEVE" in getting vaccinated again - a position that implies every other vaccine is perfectly safe and effective.
In it they state they are concerned about lowered childhood vaccinations rates. Therefore they still believe these vaccines are necessary and safe. They also, state the non-vulnerable should live their life as normal, “building immunity in the population until reaching herd immunity-i.e. the point at which the rate of new infections is stable-and that this can be assisted by (but is not dependent upon) a vaccine.”
They also, recommend frequent testing of staff and visitors in nursing homes(which we all know are not accurate).
Battachary & Kuldorff are signers. So, these people on DeSantis team are still for vaccines… and using the inaccurate PCR testing.
You know, who else doesn’t know this? students who are lining up to become doctors and other kinds of scientists is that new students of the sciences are going to be groomed to do the same thing.
Thank you Will Christianson for compiling essential statements reporting on the so called journals of experts on science facts. I for one copied and saved this compilation to send to friends and family who are still clamoring “but Fauci, the CDC, my doctor (ad nauseam) said” .... grateful for your effort.
Why not send a link as well? The blind aka true believers might even venture onto some extra reading around Will's plain brilliant post 😉 Pave the road... then pray for miracles to happen 🙂
That is the one truth spoken here, we can no longer rely on institutionalized medical judgement. They have been so corrupted and politicized. Too few physicians stood their grounds to uphold their oath. Profit over lives! Fear over righteousness. Sad, sad state of affairs, global pain and suffering caused by governments and Pharma!!
*Very* impressive & useful quote compendium, ty a googolplex! 🤩
--
Necessarily, the rot goes all the way down to docs on the ground 😢 Hence 'Please do NOT blindly trust' list should be extended with 'your primary care physician'. The toughest one for many I guess.
10.1. 🗨 there is a reason that there is an entire "medical writer" subspecialty that deals in nothing but "dumbing down science and drug data so that MD's can understand it."
↑↑ A Midwestern Doctor afaicr—anonymous as per dictates of 🤬 times we have the moot pleasure to live in.
About 35-40 years ago, there was a big issue in the science community because some of them were using an early form of computer modeling and presenting the results as facts, never having done any real-world tests. I only know about it because my parents were in the medical field and it was reported at a continuing education seminar. it was considered a huge breach of integrity to the older medical community and repudiated by the same. How can you state a scientific theory as fact when you have no real-world proof. Things have certainly gone down hill from there.
Pre-COVID there was an individual scientist who started re-creating scientific trials that had been published in all kinds of scientific journals (medical and other fields also), to see if he could replicate the results.
Now I know you're gonna be shocked about this, but hold on: almost none of the peer-reviewed study results were able to be replicated.
Funny story - a couple of years ago we hosted one of my son's fellow Marines for the holidays. At the dinner table I revealed my skeptical position about man-made Climate Change.
He insisted that he knew I was wrong because in high school he'd done a paper about it, and he'd gotten his facts from Google.
So I mentioned the scientist who had been unable to replicate the results for 100's of peer reviewed papers.
The look on his face was priceless as he exclaimed "So you mean you don't TRUST GOOGLE???"
My late mother-in-law (born in 1922) had absolute faith that whatever got printed in a newspaper or stated on TV was true. She didn't question anything at all.
I'd love if you published this comment again as a separate Substack. And if you added the citations/links to the quotes, it would be that much more shareable.
I was surprised to read that this scenario was described with the "mother" as I recall this situation involved a guardian of some sort, though the woman could have actually adopted the girl and been her mother. I believe her natural mother found out and blew the story open.
There's probably a whole underground network for people into that. Veiled in deniability but clear to those in the know. Sick people find ways to find each other.
Knowing what little I do about the Special Warfare warriors and their traits of deep intelligence and original thought, I am very confused about how even one such man could've been duped about so basic of piece of human knowledge.
I am baffled too. How does a Navy Seal get manipulated and propagandized into changing his sex like that? I don’t get it. I just don’t. And where were his seal brothers? How did they stand by and watch that happen? Maybe they tried to knock sense into him, idk.
How I see it is, God gave me the gifts of heart, mind, body, and soul. I will protect my one vehicle for life. I can recognize flawed science, and unethical actions and behavior. I will honor the gifts God gave me, by using them, valuing them, and protecting them the best of my ability. I will try to instill these same values in my children, and also anyone willing to listen.
Change may be happening, but as we have observed it is slow. Keep fighting the good fight, keep trying to inform people, but at the same time prepare your lifeboat. It's going to one heck of a ride.
The big announcement by Trump that was just some $99 digital superhero cards was REALLY bad. It's a major debacle.
Just seems out of touch and myopic when we've been screwed on 2020 and 2022 and the covid mandates... and he's doing this. If his march toward 2024 gets derailed, it's possible this event precipitates it.
Yes, it's like Jeff has said multiple times on this blog. We do NOT need a superhero. The only thing that will save us is US. Our only true Savior is Jesus Christ. And too few people are believing that.
And believe it or not, belief in Jesus is the foundation of the "17th letter" movement. Trump was His choice to be the "point man" just as Cyrus sas God's chouce
Trump's a fool and I voted for him. The bigger problem is that regardless of how they try to spin the midterm results the GOP is a train wreck. I'd love for DeSantis to run for president but the best place for him is as governor of Florida where he remains a bulwark against federal encroachment on state and individual rights. President DeSantis becomes another swamp creature by default.
The problem then becomes the lack of viable Trump alternatives in 2024. There are none. Meanwhile, the DNC will continue to mock and to laugh at us by teasing Joe Redux as their candidate.
Desantis is term limited, he'd only be in office two years past 2024. He needs to be developing a successor to keep the ball rolling in FL, even if he doesn't run.
You poor thing, having to suffer through President Trump’s administration. You must have been so relieved when the Globalists took him out. They had to destroy the last semblance of Justice in America to do it, but, oh, well……
That's the crux of the problem. Trump IS the default candidate because there are no viable alternatives beyond Ron DeSantis. It concerns me because I know a few people who consider themselves to be "former democrats" but who will never vote for Trump.
One person in my former home state of Michigan actually voted for Whitmer because she viewed Tudor Dixon as a Trump acolyte despite my numerous reminders of Whitmer's disastrous authoritarianism. Among other things, she doesn't understand (refuses, to be more accurate) what Dobbs actually means and still believes the "1/6 Insurrection" nonsense. It's deeply troubling and probably describes a lot of people.
Well, that is the question, isn't it? HELL YES the election will be rigged - again. Geez, all this argument about a candidate is completely useless if we don't have a free election. The Bosheviks will never again allow a legitimate election. Why am I wrong?????
The Trump moment as a whole reminds me of what Lysander Spooner said about the Constitution:
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist."
Trump was either entirely clueless as to what his own DoD was up to or he knew it and facilitated it.
However you slice it, both explain his actions and inactions in 2020 and both disqualify.
Well, I wouldn’t call him a “fool” - frankly, I refrain from calling anyone a fool. Trump is a showman and always has been. In fact, some of us liked that he was different from all the other zeroes on the stage in 2015. They were dull and boring; watching them speak was like watching grass grow. I always thought his approach was genius - he put them off guard for a ready retort. Little Marco, Sleepy Joe, Low energy Jeb. They gasped and stuttered and couldn’t gather their thoughts. It was amusing to watch. AND, He loves poking the fake news bear. The announcement about censorship was old news to those of us who’ve been part of the great awakening. His ultimate purpose is to reach the normies who have been propagandized by networks that editorialize everything including the real news. It’s a hard and arduous task. Some were rescued and it showed in the midterms. The people ARE waking up and beginning to realize that it’s the results that are most important.
I agree. I think Trump is smarter than most people realize. He's the master of misdirection and isn't afraid to look stupid to be effective at it. Remember, it has been pointed out he does seemingly random and stupid things to expose who his enemies are. I think he is going to have the last word. He is playing 3-D chess and the rest are playing, at best, regular chess and at worst, most people, checkers.
I for one DO NOT want to lose DeSantis here in Florida, he’s really on a roll and we need to “ cement” all of his good works before he has to move on. We need to be sure that our next Governor is cut from the same cloth as DeSantis is. We can’t lose focus here. We are very Blessed.😇
I'm actually starting to be concerned about this as well: Ron DeSantis is the best we have, but he's just one man and the Swamp is very persuasive.
I've personally known many very good men who went to DC only to be totally corrupted. (Sen. James Inhofe, I'm thinking of you and half a dozen more "conservatives.")
DeSantis running against Trump in 2024 will anger the MAGA army, maybe not so the wavering Conservative movement, but he won’t get the MAGA vote and that’s huge. DeSantis is a remarkable governor but he’s not ready for prime time. He’s not well-known in all of America YET but give him time. He will be brought into the main stream with a Republican House. He won’t be like Trump having billions of his own at his disposal. He will be taking donations and growing a payback list. Isn’t that what we liked about Trump’s not being beholden to donors? Take a breath and stick with the winner we have in Trump. We’ve all benefitted from Trump’s presidential actions in more ways than we know and he’s the ONLY one that can clean up the swamp. Stop whining about his theatrical antics (if that’s what you want to call them) and let him do his job. Jerez, it reminds me of how ppl hated his “mean tweets”.
I agree. I think Trump is smarter than most people realize. He's the master of misdirection and isn't afraid to look stupid to be effective at it.

It's hard to believe, but not impossible. It would enable Trump to get revenge without the hassle of being president again. He could continue to do what he does best from outside the white house, while DeSantis could benefit from what Trump discovered while he was inside the white house.
The 1st half of the announcement was so bad its hard to believe it was used at all. The 2nd half, as many pointed out yesterday, & Jeff this morning, is not any better albeit for different reasons.
Exactly! But one of my biggest criticisms/complaints about the Republican Party is that they just can't seem to join together and be cohesive when it counts. The Democrats band together like superglue and after some initial scuffling around, they eventually all get on the same page and operate as a singular unit. The Republicans just never manage to do this, the party always seems somewhat fragmented. Which is why they can't win more reliably.
It seems impossible, but I believe he also truly loves America.
He may not want to go through the ordeal being President again.
We don't know all that he saw from the oval office. He may not want to risk Barron's life.
He would still be jerking their chains, just by other means.
The bottom line is we just don't know what he's thinking. But the announcements are just too out of touch to be real. I can't believe he's that inept. Time will tell, I guess. 🤷
In a perfect world, I agree one hundred percent. However we're talking about Donald Trump here, a classic narcissist and the man still taking credit for the "beautiful vaccines" despite the chaos that's ensued. When he admits he was duped by Birx, Fauci, and the rest I'll rethink my assessment. Check out Michael Sanger's Birx article from a few months ago.
The fact that Trump has not spoken out for or supported the shameful treatment of the J6 prisoners is very disappointing. More than disappointing, in fact.
I recently sent a jab-happy friend some info about a supplement that purportedly helps with "long covid" (which he thinks he has) and vaccine injuries (which I think is more likely). His first question: "Is it peer reviewed?" 🤦 Mind firmly shut, his religion is science, and he can't see how corrupt and failed his god really is.
Interesting parallel with the Japan/ivermectin angle.
"Nattokinase (pronounced nuh-TOH-kin-ayss) is an enzyme extracted and purified from a Japanese food called nattō."
Reminds me of ivermectin, which was also discovered by a Japanese guy: "Satoshi Ōmura isolated a strain of Streptomyces avermitilis from woodland soil near a golf course along the south east coast of Honshu, Japan."
It's funny. . . Folks who didn't even know what "peer-reviewed" was two years ago are now experts on assessing the value of lack of value of a "scientific" article.
What I tell my son is always "what or who is the source" and "where'd the money come from?"
I'm not sure about that. He is a very smart person but so am I and he hires me to work for him, so he knows I'm intelligent. But he thinks I am wrong about a lot of things (I'm Christian, he's atheist; he's a diehard liberal/Democrat/NPR listener/etc). We are actually good friends, we just mostly avoid contentious topics.
"That is: peer review is not in fact a quality control; it is just a way for establishment scientists to police and enforce orthodox narratives."
I learned this back in the Obama years when I went down the rabbit hole after reading about a handful of scientists whose careers were ruined when they pushed back against the climate change narrative. Recall 'science deniers' was tossed about frequently by the Obama administration at anyone who was not buying what they were selling about 'global warming'.
And The Lancet, if I recall correctly, was one of the journals who had to issue a retraction in 2020.
I actually considered a career in science when I was in HS. Glad I went another way, I would have been fired a lot.
I also wonder what would my stance on all this be if I had kept to that path. I once was a mathematics major, pre-med interested in epidemiology. I switched paths my senior year in college. In part due to the sense that I was not sure I wanted to surround myself with the other persons I saw as pre-med (no offense in general but there is a certain type of personality among this group). I have always been a skeptic. I think I would not have worked well with this group.
On the other hand, I still retain my curiousity about both medical and statistical matters. I have been both fascinated and horrified by the past few years.
You were wise to steer clear! I read this yesterday. Apparently they are having troubles getting new doctors into the field of epidemiology. Perhaps because the last three years have shown it's worthless and full of crap?
Betsy said “I have always been a skeptic.” Which sort of indicates to me that her classmates did not possess that quality and simply & blindly accepted everything hook line and sinker. Well, that was my take on her post anyway.
That is part of it. Also grade-grubbers who were more interested in themselves than helping others. Not all but enough that it gave me serious thought about spending my life working with these people.
My guess that would be that they are not 'people' people. Have read a number of articles over the years about whether or not you can teach 'bedside manners', as some med schools were trying. Many people with high intelligence, which you need to get through med school, are 'book smart' but lack common sense and don't relate well to those not in their circle, My nephew is a brilliant computer scientist, genius level IQ but he has little common sense and is socially awkward. I used to work with some docs who invested in start ups and they were terrible investors. Assumed that because they were smart, they could tell the founders what to do and they knew nothing about the business world. Constantly demanding information and then not processing it. And from my experiences with my parents in and out of hospitals in the last decade, they are terrible listeners. There are exceptions, of course. I loved my primary care doc until he bought the shot BS. He was a people person and (was) a good listener. but evidently he prizes his corporate HC job over his integrity.
I have a good friend who decided to get a PhD in statistics his field precisely because he realized none...not a single one of his advisors and other professors knew anything at all about statistics. He had smooth sailing with his studies and dissertation because no one appeared to have enough knowledge to evaluate or criticize what he said. It was amusing to watch.
I am not smart enough for that, lol. I loved science in HS, especially biology, as I had really good teachers and they fostered a love of asking questions, and digging deeper. But the college profs were more focused on rote memorization, and did not encourage discussion or like too many questions. Ended up with a business degree, as I had no idea what I wanted to do, but knew I hated being poor. Spent 8 years in retail management and hated it so went back for my MBA in finance. But I love research, and discovered I was good at asking questions, and finding answers. Worked for a business incubator, a seed capital fund and an investment bank and then struck out on my own as a business planning researcher in 2001. Love it, as I get paid to go down rabbit holes,
I actually feel like I've been living in a series of rabbit holes for the last 3 years. And I've found those rabbit holes are endless! But I've learned a heck of a lot in the process!
Yep, I do rabbit holes for work and then in the evenings do rabbit holes for all kinds of issues.. Can't remember the last time I have watched TV, other than snippets that my hubby has on.
There’s a medical mafia. My family doctor was treating Lyme successfully and they threatened to take him to court over every Medicaid Medicare bill he ever submitted. He’s a zombie now.
Jeff - you make an excellent point about Trump’s free speech announcement. While I agree 100% with the policy he’s promoting, his instinct to get there via executive order rather than standing on the Constitution is a serious flaw. We are a Constitutional Republic not a ‘Democracy’.
We could start with a President that fully appreciated the way the Constitution is supposed to work, and then used his or her bully pulpit to champion it
Yes. Thank you. Too many laws. Too many executive orders and what are were... Like a wave in the sea and getting smaller so as to have no effect in this world but to bring in crap on the shore. 😳
As many have said it is either Christ or chaos. Not just for our country but for the whole earth. Our personal lives, our communities must turn to Him. No other entity is going to fix, save, renew this world we live in.
Thanks for the explanation of the peer reviewed stuff. It’s so sad we cannot trust any of them. It’s all tainted with money, fame and control. No wonder the Bible says LOVE of money is the root of all evil. It corrupts everything and most people.
I’m labeled a nut job because I sound off my rocker for saying hospitals, media, all government officials, CDC and all alphabet agencies are corrupt and in on “it”. The general population can’t fathom that ALL of these are corrupt and tainted. They can’t wrap their heads around how they are all intertwined and basically incestuous. We sound like the nut jobs, but we are actually the sane ones.
Yes, and I have cut ties or see very little of the folks who willingly choose to keep their heads in the sand and not become part of the solution. It's work to fix this, and we all need to be part of the solution, which means pushing back, holding our elected reps accountable, and working to elect people who are honest and awake.
Absolutely! I even wear my NOT WOKE t shirt everywhere I go and push back on social media as we all have to be “reporters”! Haven’t spoken to those whose heads are in the sand and want to live in make believe in a very long time. I’ve called and written all my newly elected officials as well as college presidents and chancellor’s. Unfortunately most are liberal and I receive the standard “following the CeeDeeCee” nonsense. We are living in bizarro world.
Yes. I forgot the most important part of that scripture. It is the love of money that is the root of all evil. When I was typing it out I forgot that important piece. 🤦🏼♀️
Well winter has finally struck here in the Daytona area. We woke up to a crisp 58 this morn. We'll have to upgrade from our normal flip flops to our fur-lined flip flops. Wearing a long-sleeve T-shirt too!
Crisp with a beautiful blue sky and full sun I bet. I'm over the hill in the Willamette Valley and it was feezing this morning but I'm sitting in full sun on my deck now. Shorts and sleveless shirt.
darn it Jeff! why do you make me angry with your awesome newsletters!!??!??! The entire peer-reviewed BS, sane people during the madness were screaming about not trusting those peer reviewed, it was all money and interests, lab coats playing scientists on TV. And here you are dropping more verifiable information and no one outside of the C&C readers and other people that do their own....God forbid.... "own research" will only know about.
Ugh, I hate it, the entire world has been played and everyone just locked themselves up, masked up, stayed away from family and friends and lastly accepted the fact that a miracle injection was going to save the world.
There's obvious cynical sarcasm in this post - Thanks for all the info you share with us <3
I am a PhD student hoping to contribute to the field of research. In school we are required to cite only peer reviewed articles. It’s sad because being in the nutrition field this can be challenging since many journals don’t want you to know about a food, herb or supplement that may be more useful than a drug. I feel like everything people believe in is built on lies, just damming lies.
When I collapsed from untreated T2D in 2015, the hospital brought me all kinds of super-high carb meals 3x a day - plus carb-y snacks in between.
Despite putting me on massive dosages of insulin, they just couldn't figure out why my blood glucose remained so high. (Baffled, they were, to coin a phrase.)
They were following treatment protocols from General Mills and Cargill and the American Diabetic Association.
They're both stupid and greedy, and they just don't care.
This is a pet peeve of mine. When seniors get admitted to hospital they get a glucose iv and tons of carbs which often results in high blood glucose. Their blood pressure goes up, because that’s what happens when you are sick or in pain. So high blood sugar gets treated with insulin shots and awful ADA nutritional advice and high blood pressure gets a new pill and the patient goes home with type 2 diabetes and more meds.
Thanks. I did - first Keto (though I didn't know that's what it was called then. I just knew that simple carbs could NOT be a good idea for a T2D.)
That plus daily exercise dropped my blood glucose to a point where insulin was no longer necessary (or even safe to take; like approx. 70.)
Then intermittent fasting through Dr. Jason Fung. Lost 100 lbs in about a year. Final kick was dropping my Diet Coke habit, which dropped my weight another 25 lbs in about a month.
What you say about the medical establishment scoffing at herbs, foods, supplements: So very true. Many of these treatments and supplements have been in successful use for centuries. The Chinese have spent millennia developing many of these approaches to health. I'd suggest their sheer number suggests there is reason to study what they've been doing.
Re: Trump’s announcement…It’s sad to me that Trump has been reduced to cheap theater in an attempt to remain relevant. I voted for him, I thought he accomplished much good for our country. But the endless “huge” announcements are becoming pathetic. He is powerless at this point, and if this latest stunt was an attempt to counter the actions of Governor DeSantis - it was total failure. He is beginning to look like a perpetual victim of bad advice.
Or maybe he was just piggy-backing off of DeSantis' Top Gun ad? I wouldn't assume anything about what they are doing right now. Too many chess pieces on the board.
Having edited dozens of COVID "studies" over the last 3 years, I can confirm that most were absolute trash - zero statistical analysis, bizarre, nonsensical arguments, no citations, and opinion posing as fact.
What was even more confounding was that most of the idiot authors of these papers had never written anything before (which was obvious from the butchered English). Only later did I see extremely well-written, well-researched papers by writers in other fields. Of course, those papers were summarily dismissed as being irrelevant or by "no experts." It would be much like if Jeff wrote a research paper about COVID origins or vaccine injury. We all know it would be heavily researched and referenced, but the "experts" would immediately say that the study is by "some lawyer" and not an "expert," even with the amount of direct experience he has in the area.
The appeals to authority need to be crushed at every turn. These people need to be ridiculed and shamed, and their careers must be destroyed so they can never murder again. I'm not saying that lightly. Every one of them is a coconspirator in a murder-for-hire scheme.
One of the most vital issues of all is the matter of “trusting the science”. It is inevitable that we all rely on what we are told has been “scientifically proven”. But, mountains of evidence proves that the world of science has been deeply corrupted, yet the majority of the public do NOT realize this critically important fact. It is a tragic mistake to believe what we are told regarding the most important aspects of our lives. Please do NOT blindly trust the “settled science”, the corrupted medical establishment, or heavily controlled corporate media.. Honest scientists and doctors have bravely warned of this systemic corruption, but most people have never heard anything other than what the corrupt establishment wants them to hear.
1. Dr. Marcia Angell, Editor in Chief of the New England Medical Journal (NEMJ),
“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 of the New England Journal of Medicine”
2. Dr. Richard Horton, the current editor-in-chief of the Lancet – considered to be one of the most well respected peer-reviewed medical journals in the world.
“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.”.. ..“Journals have devolved into information laundering operations for the pharmaceutical industry”
3. Dr. Herbert L. Ley Jr, former Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration
“The FDA protects the big drug companies, and is subsequently rewarded, and using the government’s police powers, they attack those who threaten the big drug companies. People think that the FDA is protecting them. It isn’t. What the FDA is doing and what the public thinks it is doing are as different as day and night.”
4. Dr. Raeford Brown, chair of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Committee on Analgesics and Anesthetics
“Congress is owned by pharma.”
5. A group calling itself CDC Scientists Preserving Integrity, Diligence and Ethics in Research, or (CDC SPIDER), put a list of complaints in writing in a letter to CDC Chief of Staff. The members of the group have elected to file the complaint anonymously for fear of retribution.
“It appears that our mission is being influenced and shaped by outside parties and rogue interests… and Congressional intent for our agency is being circumvented by some of our leaders. What concerns us most, is that it is becoming the norm and not the rare exception,” the letter states. “These questionable and unethical practices threaten to undermine our credibility and reputation as a trusted leader in public health.”
6. Dr. John P. A. Ioannidis, Editor-in-chief, European Journal of Clinical Investigation (2010 - Present)
“most current published research findings are false.”
7. Dr William Thompson Senior Scientist at the CDC (Center for Disease Control),
“I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism. Decisions were made regarding which findings to report after the data were collected, and I believe that the final study protocol was not followed.”
8. Assistant Professor Ray Moynihan , one of the leaders of The BMJ's campaign:
“When we want to decide on a medicine or a surgery, a lot of the evidence we used to inform that decision is biased," "It cannot be trusted. Because so much of that has been produced and funded by the manufacturers of those healthcare products.”
9. Dr. Fiona Godlee, editor of the BMJ,
"I think we have to call it what it is. It is the corruption of the scientific process.”
10. Susanna Rees, an editorial assistant with a medical writing agency until 2002
'Medical writing agencies go to great lengths to disguise the fact that the papers they ghostwrite and submit to journals and conferences are ghostwritten on behalf of pharmaceutical companies and not by the named authors,' she wrote. 'There is a relatively high success rate for ghostwritten submissions - not outstanding, but consistent.'
11. Sydney Brenner, winner Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2002.
“And of course all the academics say we’ve got to have peer review. But I don’t believe in peer review because I think it’s very distorted and as I’ve said, it’s simply a regression to the mean…..I think peer review is hindering science. In fact, I think it has become a completely corrupt system.”
12. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor at Stanford University Medical School, a physician and epidemiologist
“when people say follow the science, what I’ve seen is they often mean censor scientists who don’t agree with some scientists…the people who are sort of controlling policy.”
13. Kamran Abbasi, executive editor British Medical Journal
“Science is being suppressed for political and financial gain. Covid-19 has unleashed state corruption on a grand scale, and it is harmful to public health.”
Science is for sale. I perused and obtained a degree in chemistry and physics because I was in search of the truth. I finally found truth in the Bible.
As an aside, while driving my kid to school this morning... I got behind a car with a Pfizer bumper sticker. Didn't even know they made those things. Yikes. The cult is stronger than I realized. I thought the bumper stickers of "In Fauci, We Trust" were over the top. I was wrong :)
How perverted is our culture. How sad is their desire to run after false gods when the Lord Almighty is calling them to come home.
“Because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.”
Romans 1:25
This is it in a nut shell, just as you say. And as an addition ... there can can be no law without truth. That why we put the hand on the Bible, and say, "so help me God".
Perjury is violation of the Ninth Commandment, the bearing false witness. Lying is a violation of the first four Commandments as lying does not glorify God.
People want so badly to believe in SOMETHING. Being separated from any kind of religious belief now means they will believe in just about ANYTHING. Yes, even Pfizer.
They need to hand them out with every vaxx and an extra gold star for each booster for being a good sheep. Then we can easily assess the scene of a vaxxident or know who to steer clear of on the road. Seriously.
Time for a counter bumper sticker Pfizer Sucks or Pfizer is Pfraud.
How about "Pfizer lied and people died."
Nice rhyme!
Hah. In Hamilton Montana in the neighborhood around the NIH’s Rocky Mountain Labs were yard signs saying Thank You Dr Fauci with his picture and hearts. It was disgusting.
Ugh 😝
If it makes you feel any better, there is a billboard on the outer banks of NC that has two photos. One is of Jim Jones saying “I got 580 people to drink my koolaid” Next to him is Fauci giving him a superior lol, saying “Amateur”
Beautiful. A shame it is too busy to put on a bumper sticker!
I can top that- on the interstate here in Florida, I was behind a car that had a license plate that read "VACCINE8" I guess they feel so strongly that they decided to get a vanity plate!
It would be karma if there was to be a vaccident.
Oh wow 😳 That is next level!!
Don't miss this 30 minute HIGHWIRE segment - Del Bigtree and Jeffery Jaxen present excellent highlights of the DeSantis Grand Jury press release and comments by Public Health Integrity Committee. - At the end, Bigtree brilliantly calls out Steven Templeton, Jay Bhattachary, Martin Kulldorff, Joseph Fraiman, who's stated goal is to get people who have lost faith in the "system" to "BELIEVE" in getting vaccinated again - a position that implies every other vaccine is perfectly safe and effective.
https://tinyurl.com/2jh2ryua
Yes, this⬆️
And same with The Great Barrington declaration.
Gabriella, in what way?
gbdeclaration.org - signed 10/4/20.
In it they state they are concerned about lowered childhood vaccinations rates. Therefore they still believe these vaccines are necessary and safe. They also, state the non-vulnerable should live their life as normal, “building immunity in the population until reaching herd immunity-i.e. the point at which the rate of new infections is stable-and that this can be assisted by (but is not dependent upon) a vaccine.”
They also, recommend frequent testing of staff and visitors in nursing homes(which we all know are not accurate).
Battachary & Kuldorff are signers. So, these people on DeSantis team are still for vaccines… and using the inaccurate PCR testing.
Bigtree had on Dr. Ryan Cole recently, which was a big disappointment, and here is a response to that interview:
https://anamihalceamdphd.substack.com/p/you-cant-find-what-you-are-not-looking
You know, who else doesn’t know this? students who are lining up to become doctors and other kinds of scientists is that new students of the sciences are going to be groomed to do the same thing.
Thank you ~
And offering the Court Exhibit B ... 5G, 5G, 5G ...
Thank you Will Christianson for compiling essential statements reporting on the so called journals of experts on science facts. I for one copied and saved this compilation to send to friends and family who are still clamoring “but Fauci, the CDC, my doctor (ad nauseam) said” .... grateful for your effort.
Why not send a link as well? The blind aka true believers might even venture onto some extra reading around Will's plain brilliant post 😉 Pave the road... then pray for miracles to happen 🙂

That is the one truth spoken here, we can no longer rely on institutionalized medical judgement. They have been so corrupted and politicized. Too few physicians stood their grounds to uphold their oath. Profit over lives! Fear over righteousness. Sad, sad state of affairs, global pain and suffering caused by governments and Pharma!!
*Very* impressive & useful quote compendium, ty a googolplex! 🤩
--
Necessarily, the rot goes all the way down to docs on the ground 😢 Hence 'Please do NOT blindly trust' list should be extended with 'your primary care physician'. The toughest one for many I guess.
10.1. 🗨 there is a reason that there is an entire "medical writer" subspecialty that deals in nothing but "dumbing down science and drug data so that MD's can understand it."
↑↑ A Midwestern Doctor afaicr—anonymous as per dictates of 🤬 times we have the moot pleasure to live in.

💥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💥
About 35-40 years ago, there was a big issue in the science community because some of them were using an early form of computer modeling and presenting the results as facts, never having done any real-world tests. I only know about it because my parents were in the medical field and it was reported at a continuing education seminar. it was considered a huge breach of integrity to the older medical community and repudiated by the same. How can you state a scientific theory as fact when you have no real-world proof. Things have certainly gone down hill from there.
Pre-COVID there was an individual scientist who started re-creating scientific trials that had been published in all kinds of scientific journals (medical and other fields also), to see if he could replicate the results.
Now I know you're gonna be shocked about this, but hold on: almost none of the peer-reviewed study results were able to be replicated.
Shocked! I'm SHOCKED, I say!
Funny story - a couple of years ago we hosted one of my son's fellow Marines for the holidays. At the dinner table I revealed my skeptical position about man-made Climate Change.
He insisted that he knew I was wrong because in high school he'd done a paper about it, and he'd gotten his facts from Google.
So I mentioned the scientist who had been unable to replicate the results for 100's of peer reviewed papers.
The look on his face was priceless as he exclaimed "So you mean you don't TRUST GOOGLE???"
No son, I don't.
OMG! You don't trust Google! This story says so much about the state we are in these days.
Yeah, I need to make a folder for these stories entitled "We are SO screwed!"
My late mother-in-law (born in 1922) had absolute faith that whatever got printed in a newspaper or stated on TV was true. She didn't question anything at all.
I'd love if you published this comment again as a separate Substack. And if you added the citations/links to the quotes, it would be that much more shareable.
Before that comes to pass, a link to a separate comment should do 😉

😯😂thank you!
how can a mother accept $3000 to traffic her own daughter? she should be charged along with the CNN creep (who should be locked up forever).
My heart goes out to Chris, the Navy Seal.
Surely the mother is charged as well or the child was taken away. To have a mom who pimps you. Unforgivable.
I hope criminal as well. But the laws are tricky, sadly
Janet, shades of CPS?
I was surprised to read that this scenario was described with the "mother" as I recall this situation involved a guardian of some sort, though the woman could have actually adopted the girl and been her mother. I believe her natural mother found out and blew the story open.
I hope the mother was arrested too. How evil.
It sounds like his statement about women was a way to fish for a mother who sells her child out.
Those "mothers" are out there.
Yes, and those "mothers" (mofos in my opinion) should rot in prison for the rest of their natural lives. No mercy here.
There's probably a whole underground network for people into that. Veiled in deniability but clear to those in the know. Sick people find ways to find each other.
Knowing what little I do about the Special Warfare warriors and their traits of deep intelligence and original thought, I am very confused about how even one such man could've been duped about so basic of piece of human knowledge.
It's honestly shocking to me.
I am baffled too. How does a Navy Seal get manipulated and propagandized into changing his sex like that? I don’t get it. I just don’t. And where were his seal brothers? How did they stand by and watch that happen? Maybe they tried to knock sense into him, idk.
My thoughts exactly!
How I see it is, God gave me the gifts of heart, mind, body, and soul. I will protect my one vehicle for life. I can recognize flawed science, and unethical actions and behavior. I will honor the gifts God gave me, by using them, valuing them, and protecting them the best of my ability. I will try to instill these same values in my children, and also anyone willing to listen.
Change may be happening, but as we have observed it is slow. Keep fighting the good fight, keep trying to inform people, but at the same time prepare your lifeboat. It's going to one heck of a ride.
Prepare your lifeboat is key to survival, spiritually and physically.

The big announcement by Trump that was just some $99 digital superhero cards was REALLY bad. It's a major debacle.
Just seems out of touch and myopic when we've been screwed on 2020 and 2022 and the covid mandates... and he's doing this. If his march toward 2024 gets derailed, it's possible this event precipitates it.
Yes, it's like Jeff has said multiple times on this blog. We do NOT need a superhero. The only thing that will save us is US. Our only true Savior is Jesus Christ. And too few people are believing that.
And believe it or not, belief in Jesus is the foundation of the "17th letter" movement. Trump was His choice to be the "point man" just as Cyrus sas God's chouce
Trump's a fool and I voted for him. The bigger problem is that regardless of how they try to spin the midterm results the GOP is a train wreck. I'd love for DeSantis to run for president but the best place for him is as governor of Florida where he remains a bulwark against federal encroachment on state and individual rights. President DeSantis becomes another swamp creature by default.
The problem then becomes the lack of viable Trump alternatives in 2024. There are none. Meanwhile, the DNC will continue to mock and to laugh at us by teasing Joe Redux as their candidate.
Desantis is term limited, he'd only be in office two years past 2024. He needs to be developing a successor to keep the ball rolling in FL, even if he doesn't run.
Lapado
Would Ladapo run for office?
I think we might do better to make wanting office disqualifying!
You poor thing, having to suffer through President Trump’s administration. You must have been so relieved when the Globalists took him out. They had to destroy the last semblance of Justice in America to do it, but, oh, well……
The Trump moment has passed. He served his purpose in 2016 and now it's time to move on.
It's gonna be hard to replace a self-funded guy like him.
And no one wants DeSantis to short change his governor term.
Who's going to step up?
Biden 2.0 SHOULD be easy to beat.
That's the crux of the problem. Trump IS the default candidate because there are no viable alternatives beyond Ron DeSantis. It concerns me because I know a few people who consider themselves to be "former democrats" but who will never vote for Trump.
One person in my former home state of Michigan actually voted for Whitmer because she viewed Tudor Dixon as a Trump acolyte despite my numerous reminders of Whitmer's disastrous authoritarianism. Among other things, she doesn't understand (refuses, to be more accurate) what Dobbs actually means and still believes the "1/6 Insurrection" nonsense. It's deeply troubling and probably describes a lot of people.
This, sadly, is true.
And Trump's favorability ratings are in the toilet - even when compared to pudding-head Biden.
Could the election be rigged again?
Well, that is the question, isn't it? HELL YES the election will be rigged - again. Geez, all this argument about a candidate is completely useless if we don't have a free election. The Bosheviks will never again allow a legitimate election. Why am I wrong?????
The Trump moment as a whole reminds me of what Lysander Spooner said about the Constitution:
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist."
Trump was either entirely clueless as to what his own DoD was up to or he knew it and facilitated it.
However you slice it, both explain his actions and inactions in 2020 and both disqualify.
This is a bitter pill to swallow, but I think it's more right than wrong.
I voted for Trump in 2020 on the off chance there was something to his part as the superhero component of the Q (psyop) 🥴
Truth and discomfort are a package deal.
Oh, wise one….you run for President, please! Such wisdom and foreknowledge….
Hmm, personal attacks. Shouldn't you be doing this on Twitter? ;)
If I thought I should I would.
Well, I wouldn’t call him a “fool” - frankly, I refrain from calling anyone a fool. Trump is a showman and always has been. In fact, some of us liked that he was different from all the other zeroes on the stage in 2015. They were dull and boring; watching them speak was like watching grass grow. I always thought his approach was genius - he put them off guard for a ready retort. Little Marco, Sleepy Joe, Low energy Jeb. They gasped and stuttered and couldn’t gather their thoughts. It was amusing to watch. AND, He loves poking the fake news bear. The announcement about censorship was old news to those of us who’ve been part of the great awakening. His ultimate purpose is to reach the normies who have been propagandized by networks that editorialize everything including the real news. It’s a hard and arduous task. Some were rescued and it showed in the midterms. The people ARE waking up and beginning to realize that it’s the results that are most important.
I agree. I think Trump is smarter than most people realize. He's the master of misdirection and isn't afraid to look stupid to be effective at it. Remember, it has been pointed out he does seemingly random and stupid things to expose who his enemies are. I think he is going to have the last word. He is playing 3-D chess and the rest are playing, at best, regular chess and at worst, most people, checkers.
OMIGOSH. Someone who gets it! Thank you.
I for one DO NOT want to lose DeSantis here in Florida, he’s really on a roll and we need to “ cement” all of his good works before he has to move on. We need to be sure that our next Governor is cut from the same cloth as DeSantis is. We can’t lose focus here. We are very Blessed.😇
I'm actually starting to be concerned about this as well: Ron DeSantis is the best we have, but he's just one man and the Swamp is very persuasive.
I've personally known many very good men who went to DC only to be totally corrupted. (Sen. James Inhofe, I'm thinking of you and half a dozen more "conservatives.")
He went to D.C. before, then came back and became the Gov. Desantis we know.
DeSantis running against Trump in 2024 will anger the MAGA army, maybe not so the wavering Conservative movement, but he won’t get the MAGA vote and that’s huge. DeSantis is a remarkable governor but he’s not ready for prime time. He’s not well-known in all of America YET but give him time. He will be brought into the main stream with a Republican House. He won’t be like Trump having billions of his own at his disposal. He will be taking donations and growing a payback list. Isn’t that what we liked about Trump’s not being beholden to donors? Take a breath and stick with the winner we have in Trump. We’ve all benefitted from Trump’s presidential actions in more ways than we know and he’s the ONLY one that can clean up the swamp. Stop whining about his theatrical antics (if that’s what you want to call them) and let him do his job. Jerez, it reminds me of how ppl hated his “mean tweets”.
Agree. ( copy of my above post)
I agree. I think Trump is smarter than most people realize. He's the master of misdirection and isn't afraid to look stupid to be effective at it.

Yesterday someone suggested he was deliberately drawing fire away from DeSantis.
That is the only reasonable explanation I can think of for his "announcement."
Whether or not that is his intent, it sure is working. 🤷
That would be some 3D chess if Ron and Don are working together. Finally something strategic from our side.
It's hard to believe, but not impossible. It would enable Trump to get revenge without the hassle of being president again. He could continue to do what he does best from outside the white house, while DeSantis could benefit from what Trump discovered while he was inside the white house.
The 1st half of the announcement was so bad its hard to believe it was used at all. The 2nd half, as many pointed out yesterday, & Jeff this morning, is not any better albeit for different reasons.
Exactly! But one of my biggest criticisms/complaints about the Republican Party is that they just can't seem to join together and be cohesive when it counts. The Democrats band together like superglue and after some initial scuffling around, they eventually all get on the same page and operate as a singular unit. The Republicans just never manage to do this, the party always seems somewhat fragmented. Which is why they can't win more reliably.
The RINOs are fellow-travelers with the Bolsheviks.
And we should remember, they have to contend with the RINOs too.
Donald Trump is way too egotistical for me to ever believe in a theory like that.
It seems impossible, but I believe he also truly loves America.
He may not want to go through the ordeal being President again.
We don't know all that he saw from the oval office. He may not want to risk Barron's life.
He would still be jerking their chains, just by other means.
The bottom line is we just don't know what he's thinking. But the announcements are just too out of touch to be real. I can't believe he's that inept. Time will tell, I guess. 🤷
This was going to be my response, too.
FFS with Pokémon cards! I’ve seen enough. Mask my eyes 👀
Yep. He just shot himself in the foot. The last thing anyone wants right now is a cartoon character.
If the ex VP did this it would have fit but for Trump...it seems to be a desperate stoop for fund raising.
Trump really needs to do his work in the background. Quietly. Maybe behind a wall
In a perfect world, I agree one hundred percent. However we're talking about Donald Trump here, a classic narcissist and the man still taking credit for the "beautiful vaccines" despite the chaos that's ensued. When he admits he was duped by Birx, Fauci, and the rest I'll rethink my assessment. Check out Michael Sanger's Birx article from a few months ago.
Wow! You’ll be sorely missed I’m sure.
The fact that Trump has not spoken out for or supported the shameful treatment of the J6 prisoners is very disappointing. More than disappointing, in fact.
I recently sent a jab-happy friend some info about a supplement that purportedly helps with "long covid" (which he thinks he has) and vaccine injuries (which I think is more likely). His first question: "Is it peer reviewed?" 🤦 Mind firmly shut, his religion is science, and he can't see how corrupt and failed his god really is.
My heart doctor is Dr. McCollough. He likes nattokinese for clearing out spike and says Japan has evidence it’s working.
Interesting parallel with the Japan/ivermectin angle.
"Nattokinase (pronounced nuh-TOH-kin-ayss) is an enzyme extracted and purified from a Japanese food called nattō."
Reminds me of ivermectin, which was also discovered by a Japanese guy: "Satoshi Ōmura isolated a strain of Streptomyces avermitilis from woodland soil near a golf course along the south east coast of Honshu, Japan."
Oh I should have known from the name. . . It's a protease inhibitor, just like. . . IVERMECTIN!
Is it easily obtainable? OTC?
Sure is. Amazon or anyone. 'nattokinase supplement'
My doctor uses it too
I have used nattokinese/nattozimes to clear clots also.
Nice, thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to pass it on to anyone who might be open.
It's funny. . . Folks who didn't even know what "peer-reviewed" was two years ago are now experts on assessing the value of lack of value of a "scientific" article.
What I tell my son is always "what or who is the source" and "where'd the money come from?"
He's pretty good at critical thought.
That's a good reply. I'm stealing it. Do I need to credit you?
peer reviewed by scientists either directly or indirectly supported by Big Pharma
mean nothing.
And the irony is that he thinks he is so much smarter than you.
I'm not sure about that. He is a very smart person but so am I and he hires me to work for him, so he knows I'm intelligent. But he thinks I am wrong about a lot of things (I'm Christian, he's atheist; he's a diehard liberal/Democrat/NPR listener/etc). We are actually good friends, we just mostly avoid contentious topics.
YES!
"That is: peer review is not in fact a quality control; it is just a way for establishment scientists to police and enforce orthodox narratives."
I learned this back in the Obama years when I went down the rabbit hole after reading about a handful of scientists whose careers were ruined when they pushed back against the climate change narrative. Recall 'science deniers' was tossed about frequently by the Obama administration at anyone who was not buying what they were selling about 'global warming'.
And The Lancet, if I recall correctly, was one of the journals who had to issue a retraction in 2020.
I actually considered a career in science when I was in HS. Glad I went another way, I would have been fired a lot.
I also wonder what would my stance on all this be if I had kept to that path. I once was a mathematics major, pre-med interested in epidemiology. I switched paths my senior year in college. In part due to the sense that I was not sure I wanted to surround myself with the other persons I saw as pre-med (no offense in general but there is a certain type of personality among this group). I have always been a skeptic. I think I would not have worked well with this group.
On the other hand, I still retain my curiousity about both medical and statistical matters. I have been both fascinated and horrified by the past few years.
You were wise to steer clear! I read this yesterday. Apparently they are having troubles getting new doctors into the field of epidemiology. Perhaps because the last three years have shown it's worthless and full of crap?
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/12/12/1142250941/newest-doctors-shun-infectious-diseases-specialty
Betsy, I am curious, what personally did you notice was prevalent in this group?
Betsy said “I have always been a skeptic.” Which sort of indicates to me that her classmates did not possess that quality and simply & blindly accepted everything hook line and sinker. Well, that was my take on her post anyway.
That is part of it. Also grade-grubbers who were more interested in themselves than helping others. Not all but enough that it gave me serious thought about spending my life working with these people.
My guess that would be that they are not 'people' people. Have read a number of articles over the years about whether or not you can teach 'bedside manners', as some med schools were trying. Many people with high intelligence, which you need to get through med school, are 'book smart' but lack common sense and don't relate well to those not in their circle, My nephew is a brilliant computer scientist, genius level IQ but he has little common sense and is socially awkward. I used to work with some docs who invested in start ups and they were terrible investors. Assumed that because they were smart, they could tell the founders what to do and they knew nothing about the business world. Constantly demanding information and then not processing it. And from my experiences with my parents in and out of hospitals in the last decade, they are terrible listeners. There are exceptions, of course. I loved my primary care doc until he bought the shot BS. He was a people person and (was) a good listener. but evidently he prizes his corporate HC job over his integrity.
I'm curious too.
I have a good friend who decided to get a PhD in statistics his field precisely because he realized none...not a single one of his advisors and other professors knew anything at all about statistics. He had smooth sailing with his studies and dissertation because no one appeared to have enough knowledge to evaluate or criticize what he said. It was amusing to watch.
I am not smart enough for that, lol. I loved science in HS, especially biology, as I had really good teachers and they fostered a love of asking questions, and digging deeper. But the college profs were more focused on rote memorization, and did not encourage discussion or like too many questions. Ended up with a business degree, as I had no idea what I wanted to do, but knew I hated being poor. Spent 8 years in retail management and hated it so went back for my MBA in finance. But I love research, and discovered I was good at asking questions, and finding answers. Worked for a business incubator, a seed capital fund and an investment bank and then struck out on my own as a business planning researcher in 2001. Love it, as I get paid to go down rabbit holes,
I actually feel like I've been living in a series of rabbit holes for the last 3 years. And I've found those rabbit holes are endless! But I've learned a heck of a lot in the process!
Yep, I do rabbit holes for work and then in the evenings do rabbit holes for all kinds of issues.. Can't remember the last time I have watched TV, other than snippets that my hubby has on.
There’s a medical mafia. My family doctor was treating Lyme successfully and they threatened to take him to court over every Medicaid Medicare bill he ever submitted. He’s a zombie now.
😢
Jeff - you make an excellent point about Trump’s free speech announcement. While I agree 100% with the policy he’s promoting, his instinct to get there via executive order rather than standing on the Constitution is a serious flaw. We are a Constitutional Republic not a ‘Democracy’.
Maybe we need a work around given the immense amount of corruption blocking up the judicial system all the way to the top.
Sure we have enough laws on the books to deal with every crisis we face. So why aren’t people being charged, arrested, tried and convicted?
Does the system feel just a wee bit busted?
If we had the Epstein client list, Washington, judiciary, Wall Street would be a very different place
There is a very good reason Epstein got epsteined! Just think of the stories he could have told and the names he could have named.
We could start with a President that fully appreciated the way the Constitution is supposed to work, and then used his or her bully pulpit to champion it
Yes. Thank you. Too many laws. Too many executive orders and what are were... Like a wave in the sea and getting smaller so as to have no effect in this world but to bring in crap on the shore. 😳
As many have said it is either Christ or chaos. Not just for our country but for the whole earth. Our personal lives, our communities must turn to Him. No other entity is going to fix, save, renew this world we live in.
Have you heard of Lance Wallnau and his book "God's Chaos Candidate"? Maybe a possible solution you could get on board with. A interesting read
I'm with Elon on this. I don't know what I would have done if it had been my child in the car.
A lot more than shut down some stupid tweets, that’s for damn sure
Thanks for the explanation of the peer reviewed stuff. It’s so sad we cannot trust any of them. It’s all tainted with money, fame and control. No wonder the Bible says LOVE of money is the root of all evil. It corrupts everything and most people.
I’m labeled a nut job because I sound off my rocker for saying hospitals, media, all government officials, CDC and all alphabet agencies are corrupt and in on “it”. The general population can’t fathom that ALL of these are corrupt and tainted. They can’t wrap their heads around how they are all intertwined and basically incestuous. We sound like the nut jobs, but we are actually the sane ones.
I'm going to be one of THOSE people and say that it says "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil". Not money itself.
Oops. That is what I actually meant to say! Shoot. I didn’t catch that. Thanks for catching it and being one of those people. 😂
I must be a nut job tin foil hat wearing conspiracy Theorist as well, but I’m alive and well, healthy and strong and on no meds lol 😝!
I’m one of those tin foil hat people
The tin foil hat also blocks 5G signals... bonus!
Why I originally got mine! Energy weapons are real.
Amen. It is very hard to fathom. Even for us sane ones, it’s hard to believe so much is corrupted.
Yes, and I have cut ties or see very little of the folks who willingly choose to keep their heads in the sand and not become part of the solution. It's work to fix this, and we all need to be part of the solution, which means pushing back, holding our elected reps accountable, and working to elect people who are honest and awake.
Absolutely! I even wear my NOT WOKE t shirt everywhere I go and push back on social media as we all have to be “reporters”! Haven’t spoken to those whose heads are in the sand and want to live in make believe in a very long time. I’ve called and written all my newly elected officials as well as college presidents and chancellor’s. Unfortunately most are liberal and I receive the standard “following the CeeDeeCee” nonsense. We are living in bizarro world.
I'm labeled a nut job and sound off MY rocker because I also include Big Religion into that mix of corruption. 🙃
I think the same thing. I missed it when I typed this out.
It's an important qualifier but I think we can all agree that money is used to control the system because of people's love (lust) of money.
Yes. I forgot the most important part of that scripture. It is the love of money that is the root of all evil. When I was typing it out I forgot that important piece. 🤦🏼♀️
I'm always forgetting, or my phone does a sneaky autocorrection of my important piece. Drives me bonkers! We knew what ya meant. 🌞💛
Yes! I blew it and typed it wrong 🤦🏼♀️ Thanks for saying that. I edited and corrected but I was way late to re read what I typed.
You didn’t sound mean at all. I LOVE that you corrected me. I wish more people would know what scripture actually said. Good job! 👏 👏
1918 Spanish flu: people were forced to mask. More people died from bacterial pneumonia than the flu. Masks are nasty.
And I recall that Sunlight was the cure. They found bringing all the patient beds outside in the sunlight totally broke the pandemic.
Well winter has finally struck here in the Daytona area. We woke up to a crisp 58 this morn. We'll have to upgrade from our normal flip flops to our fur-lined flip flops. Wearing a long-sleeve T-shirt too!
I moved to central Florida just before lockdown from upstate New York. I love putting on my sweatshirt with flip flops on.
Shorts and sweatshirt is my favorite!
That combo has never made sense to me. Cold legs and a hot torso? How does that make sense?
Didn't really make sense to me until I did it. If my torso is warm, my legs are fine (down to about 58deg)
I guess it makes about as much as a sweater vest or sleeveless ski vest.
Yeah...i dont understand those, either. :)
The desert southwest - 18 degrees this morning. 🥶 Where is that global warming when you need it? Lol
All my beautiful tomatoes, frozen! And I had to turn on the heater in the house! Brrr!
Did you get permission from Jennifer Granholm to fire that heater ... ?
My brother and I agree that winter this year is WAY colder than in the past. We're in our sixties and live in San Diego.
A tad chilly today in Parkland. In the mid 70’s and partly cloudy.
Lehigh Acres/ LaBelle. I love it here.
Must be a hard life. 😏
Based Florida Man, 11 degrees this morning in Central Oregon, thank goodness it’s sunny... keeps the covid away 😉
Crisp with a beautiful blue sky and full sun I bet. I'm over the hill in the Willamette Valley and it was feezing this morning but I'm sitting in full sun on my deck now. Shorts and sleveless shirt.
Hi John, way too cold for shorts and T shirts here, but glad for you! Soak up that vit D!
darn it Jeff! why do you make me angry with your awesome newsletters!!??!??! The entire peer-reviewed BS, sane people during the madness were screaming about not trusting those peer reviewed, it was all money and interests, lab coats playing scientists on TV. And here you are dropping more verifiable information and no one outside of the C&C readers and other people that do their own....God forbid.... "own research" will only know about.
Ugh, I hate it, the entire world has been played and everyone just locked themselves up, masked up, stayed away from family and friends and lastly accepted the fact that a miracle injection was going to save the world.
There's obvious cynical sarcasm in this post - Thanks for all the info you share with us <3
I am a PhD student hoping to contribute to the field of research. In school we are required to cite only peer reviewed articles. It’s sad because being in the nutrition field this can be challenging since many journals don’t want you to know about a food, herb or supplement that may be more useful than a drug. I feel like everything people believe in is built on lies, just damming lies.
I learned long ago to never go to a hospital sponsored nutritionist, only a functional medicine or naturopathic doc.
When I collapsed from untreated T2D in 2015, the hospital brought me all kinds of super-high carb meals 3x a day - plus carb-y snacks in between.
Despite putting me on massive dosages of insulin, they just couldn't figure out why my blood glucose remained so high. (Baffled, they were, to coin a phrase.)
They were following treatment protocols from General Mills and Cargill and the American Diabetic Association.
They're both stupid and greedy, and they just don't care.
This is a pet peeve of mine. When seniors get admitted to hospital they get a glucose iv and tons of carbs which often results in high blood glucose. Their blood pressure goes up, because that’s what happens when you are sick or in pain. So high blood sugar gets treated with insulin shots and awful ADA nutritional advice and high blood pressure gets a new pill and the patient goes home with type 2 diabetes and more meds.
Wow, they must really be baffled these these day, triple or quadruple baffled! 🤣
You must have found good info, you're still here! 👏 Excellent.
Thanks. I did - first Keto (though I didn't know that's what it was called then. I just knew that simple carbs could NOT be a good idea for a T2D.)
That plus daily exercise dropped my blood glucose to a point where insulin was no longer necessary (or even safe to take; like approx. 70.)
Then intermittent fasting through Dr. Jason Fung. Lost 100 lbs in about a year. Final kick was dropping my Diet Coke habit, which dropped my weight another 25 lbs in about a month.
The original keto diet was the Atkins diet! 1972!
You're the poster boy for T2D! Excellent!
Yeah, "diet" coke.
What you say about the medical establishment scoffing at herbs, foods, supplements: So very true. Many of these treatments and supplements have been in successful use for centuries. The Chinese have spent millennia developing many of these approaches to health. I'd suggest their sheer number suggests there is reason to study what they've been doing.
Re: Trump’s announcement…It’s sad to me that Trump has been reduced to cheap theater in an attempt to remain relevant. I voted for him, I thought he accomplished much good for our country. But the endless “huge” announcements are becoming pathetic. He is powerless at this point, and if this latest stunt was an attempt to counter the actions of Governor DeSantis - it was total failure. He is beginning to look like a perpetual victim of bad advice.
Or maybe he was just piggy-backing off of DeSantis' Top Gun ad? I wouldn't assume anything about what they are doing right now. Too many chess pieces on the board.
Having edited dozens of COVID "studies" over the last 3 years, I can confirm that most were absolute trash - zero statistical analysis, bizarre, nonsensical arguments, no citations, and opinion posing as fact.
What was even more confounding was that most of the idiot authors of these papers had never written anything before (which was obvious from the butchered English). Only later did I see extremely well-written, well-researched papers by writers in other fields. Of course, those papers were summarily dismissed as being irrelevant or by "no experts." It would be much like if Jeff wrote a research paper about COVID origins or vaccine injury. We all know it would be heavily researched and referenced, but the "experts" would immediately say that the study is by "some lawyer" and not an "expert," even with the amount of direct experience he has in the area.
The appeals to authority need to be crushed at every turn. These people need to be ridiculed and shamed, and their careers must be destroyed so they can never murder again. I'm not saying that lightly. Every one of them is a coconspirator in a murder-for-hire scheme.
Second that!
...Only later did I see extremely well-written, well-researched papers by writers in OTHER fields....
Right out of Kuhn's "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions".
We are living in a “Post Truth Era”.😢
