  • “Medicalization”: Profit and Behavior-Control

    Thanks to the credulity and docility of the majority of Americans, Big Pharma has largely succeeded in medicalizing virtually every deviation from corporate-dictated, machine-like, behavioral uniformity.  In an era of expanding ignorance, fear sells–especially through meticulously crafted TV ads.  (“Ask your doctor if Viagra may be right for you.”) The collusion between Big Pharma and […]

  • When Healthy People are Murdered and the Terminally Ill are Prevented from Dying

    In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival. — Luis Buñuel, My Last Sigh, January 1982 I recently lost someone dear to me and watched as they died in almost unrelenting agony over a period of three weeks. As American health care is dominated […]

  • Ceasefire Projection

    Ceasefire Projection

    This visual is based on statistical projections by researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Center for Humanitarian Health.

  • How Consumer Drug Advertising Turned the Public into Pill Poppers

    How Consumer Drug Advertising Turned the Public into Pill Poppers

    One night in 1997, as Americans were parked on the couch in front of an episode of Touched by an Angel, they were touched by something else unexpected: an ad for a prescription allergy pill called Claritin®, promoted directly to the consumer! Prescription drugs had never been sold directly to the public before, because, without […]

  • A Return to Masking?

    A Return to Masking?

    It looks like the Trudeau government in Canada is preparing to mandate masking again, despite the science, in randomized control trials, revealing no prophylaxis effect of masking compared to non-masking against respiratory viruses. Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s chief public health officer, is setting up a return to enforced masking of Canadians.

  • Once again, the FDA admits it lied to us, and once more, we yawn

    Once again, the FDA admits it lied to us, and once more, we yawn

    The reality is that most of us are not ready for the truth. We want reassurance. We cling to our comfort blankets because the idea that we live in a world in which our and our families’ interests are not paramount is too disturbing. The idea that our fates are entirely dependent on a giant […]

    Across the West, people are dying in greater numbers: Nobody wants to learn why

    During the pandemic, the challenge for each of us was to maintain critical distance: spurning both the tribalism of those insisting Covid was a hoax and the counter-tribalism of those who demanded complete acquiesence to a corporate-political agenda dictated by Big Pharma under the mantle of “Follow the science”. Fear of living under Big Brother […]

  • Big Pharma and Direct-to-Consumer Advertising

    Since 1997, the U.S. is one of only two countries (the other being New Zealand) that allows direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising for health products like medications and procedures. Such DTC advertising in the U.S. increased from $2.1 billion in 1997 to $9.6 billion in 2016 — and continues to rise. And you wonder why two-thirds of […]

  • If It Was Allowed, I’d Hold You Down and ….

    I think it is generally accepted that the practice of medicine has changed radically over the past fifty or so years.  The medicalization and corporatization of life have “progressed” simultaneously as most doctors have become obedient servants of the corporate state. But wait, one may object, and with some justification. The development of micro-surgical techniques […]
