House Republicans have a chance to use their newly won authority to restore the balance of power in Washington. Various committees will investigate mistakes and unethical decisions made by the Biden administration over the past two years.

One of these, the “Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government,” has real promise to deliver answers on the government’s mishandling of the pandemic response.

Writing in The Daily Caller, Dr. Kory argues that the Select Subcommittee should be ground zero for investigating how the administration is using COVID-19 to wage war on doctors who won’t follow its orthodoxy. He highlights some of the most harmful actions taken to silence and suppress physicians, which would have been unthinkable a few years ago.

Biden’s declaration that, “If you get vaccinated, you won’t get COVID” has now been exposed as a lie, but it’s crucial to understand how it came to this. In the past, broad skepticism would have greeted plans to mass distribute a “safe and effective” vaccine that was developed and approved in just 12 months. And society would have flatly rejected government mandates that pushed people to get vaccinated or risk losing their jobs and becoming social outcasts. Science and medicine, practiced correctly, should challenge the powers that be, not blindly follow them.

But in our ongoing ordeal, no skepticism has been allowed, no discussion, no options. Those who raised questions or suggested different approaches were smeared as “deniers” or even worse, “anti-vaxxers.”

Virtually every week, new data casts more doubt on the vaccines’ efficacy and safety. Yet the Biden administration and its allies in media and medicine only push them harder, inventing far-fetched narratives to explain their shortcomings. Imagine their gratitude learning about this Canadian physician’s discovery of a “stroke season”!

By now we all understand that these profoundly anti-scientific, unethical positions are driven by an unholy alliance of government, the pharmaceutical industry, and the media. These groups have co-opted public health institutions to suppress dissent so they can continue raking in astronomical profits. The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), a nonprofit organization that certifies physicians’ medical licenses, is chief among the once-trusted institutions that have bent the knee.

Last year, the ABIM accused Dr. Kory and Dr. Marik of spreading “misinformation” and threatened their ability to practice medicine, ignoring the ever-widening disconnect between the Biden administration’s statements and the reality on the ground. Despite its status as a private organization with no statutory authority, the ABIM has morphed into an “enforcement” arm of the government, wielding the ability to control certification and the livelihood of doctors, who are subject to career-ending threats for veering from the government’s narrow and singular approach.

Dr. Kory and Dr. Marik are fighting the charges tooth and nail.

A “one-size fits all” approach to vaccines, or to any other health issue, is almost never warranted. Here, proponents of vaccines (and of government and big-tech coercion and censorship) flatly refuse to consider patient factors, such as age, medical history, and overall health, to determine who needs what treatment.

By virtue of their professional training, doctors must advise patients on available treatments and known risks of any treatment or procedure. By threatening doctors who might provide information different than their preferred worldview, ABIM is disrupting the doctor-patient relationship.

When allowed to practice their craft freely, physicians can prevent societal disaster by focusing on individual patients, informed by clinical experience.

Groups like the ABIM, and public medical officials like Fauci, should support and encourage evidence-based debate and patient-centered care.

Instead, they have suppressed both that debate and treatment approach by persecuting its proponents. This campaign must be stopped, its origins and evolution must be thoroughly documented, and it must never be allowed to recur. Physician autonomy must be restored lest all patients suffer.

Oversight is a core congressional function, and it’s particularly important when the government is under divided party control. The new Select Subcommittee has a long to-do list, but the people deserve a thorough accounting of the ongoing war on doctors.

I’ve been called an “anti-vaxxer” and a “conspiracy theorist“ — and to be honest, I don’t mind either label. In fact, I love it when people ask me why running naked through Times Square carrying a live porcupine would be preferable to rolling up my sleeve for the experimental hokey pokey.

“I’m so glad you asked,” I say. “Pull up a chair.”

I start by diving into Pfizer’s dirty, habitually criminal past, and share how the company paid the largest healthcare fraud settlement in the history of the United States Justice Department, a criminal fine of over $2 billion, for bribing doctors, engaging in illegal marketing, and suppressing adverse trial results.

Next, I merrily serve up a historical charcuterie board of governmental lies, crimes, and transgressions, and eagerly detail some of the tens of thousands of reported COVID “vaccine” side effects.

Did you know, I ask, that the World Health Organization’s own VigiAccess database currently houses 4,786,256 adverse event reports ranging from blurred vision [31,504] to sudden death [2,182], sudden cardiac death [325], regular cardiac death [166], brain death [184], and plain old generic death-death [22,832]?

Then I ask the FFD [an acronym I just made up for folks who feel differently] “Why do you believe what you believe?” Instead of an evidence-based argument, the best I usually get is some version of “I trust my doctor/the experts.”

If the conversation happens on social media, this stance is most often accompanied by a split-screen viral meme; on one side, a spiffy-looking dude in a white coat captioned, “8 years of medical school plus 7 years of residency;” on the other side, a middle-aged lady perched on the toilet with iPhone in hand captioned, “Does her own research.”

Does having MD after your name make you infallible? (Never mind that medical errors lead to more than 250,000 deaths a year in the US alone). Does reading volumes of medical studies, seeking out alternative, unbiased news sources, questioning censorship and the suppression/demonization of effective treatments, championing natural immunity, and connecting a few thousand neon flashing dots make you an ignorant poser?

Let me share an actual, copied-and-pasted message I received on social media after sharing another story of an après-vax “sudden death”:

“Some people have severe allergic reactions to the egg-based serum that make up most vaccination suspensions,” I’ll-call-her-Carol wrote definitively. “Worldwide, literlly [sic] billions of Covid vaccines have been given and they have no higher incidences of issues than any other vaccine.”

I don’t know anything about I’ll-call-her-Carol, other than she claims to work “in Urgent Care,” (she could man the coffee cart in the parking lot for all I know) and “has discussed this many times with physicians.” (So, a step above Googling from the throne, apparently.)

“With all due respect,” I replied. “What planet do you live on?”

I followed this sincere question with a link to historical VAERS data — which tracks adverse reactions to all vaccines — showing the massive, exponential, unprecedented spike after the C-19 vax rollout.

“Okay, that’s fair,” I’ll-call-her-Carol conceded, before oxymoronically chiming: “But if people were dying and having other physical issues, it would be publicized from all corners of the world.” (Emphasis mine.)

This was her actual argument. That the media — the same one that is consistently ‘brought to you by Pfizer’ and whose execs have been caught on camera and outed by whistleblowers for smearing effective COVID treatments and pushing the “safe and effective” agenda at all costs — would eagerly broadcast a nonstop parade of vaccine failures if, in fact, it existed. The mainstream media can’t be corrupt, you see, or we’d have heard about it in the news.

You know how when you were a kid and you simply accepted what your parents told you as fact beyond reproach? For nearly three decades I believed that if I swallowed chewing gum, I’d be looking at seven long years of digestion ahead of me. Not six-and-a-half; never eight. (Also sitting too close to the TV would make me go blind, and if I didn’t wait 30 minutes after eating to get back into the pool, I’d sink like a hippo in cement pants.)

But then we grow up. We gain wisdom, experience, and discernment. We realize half the time our parents were simply repeating things they’d heard, and the other half they were just winging it. They knew we counted on them to sound confident and authoritative, so they did — even when they were just making stuff up.

Certainly, some people will continue to parrot the platitudes they learned from their parents without ever questioning them. They’ll die believing you can get warts from touching a toad and that if someone smacks you in the back of the head as you cross your eyes, they might stick that way forever.

For the rest of us, a light bulb eventually goes off. Maybe we see someone eating in the pool and not sinking immediately to its bottom. Perhaps an elderly aunt confesses she’s been cheerfully cracking her knuckles for a century and doesn’t have an arthritic bone in her body. Someone we know might tragically be injured or killed by a “safe and effective” medication. We realize that just because someone says it — even if that someone is a parent, a doctor, or a “trusted” public official — doesn’t make it true.

The CDC, FDA, and our corrupt administration have insisted over and over that the jabs are both safe and effective. Mountains of evidence — and scores of now-maligned experts — have proven they are neither. Only one of these two sides has a vested (read: massive financial and political) interest in what you choose to believe. Call me crazy, but I’m going with the group that has nothing to gain and everything to lose.
