At a post soon to be deleted, Dr Mercola has given an informative outline of how Big Pharma has now completed its historical task of taking over mainstream medicine. He is not the only thinker holding to this position, as cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra has taken a stand on the Covid vaxxes, which he believes should be halted, with considerable pushback against him. Big Pharma’s goal is profit maximisation, which is not necessarily consistent with maximisation of patient care and health. Indeed, Dr Malhotra sees the rise of misinformed doctors and unwittingly harmed and misinformed patients.
The Covid pandemic, and the public health response of using an experimental vaccine illustrates the present failure of medicine. It is vital that the ordinary people do not fear the science, but try to understand what is happening and develop a critical awareness of public policy issues associated with medical practice. That requires addressing the medical issues so some greater public understanding arises beyond sheeple acceptance of what technocrats say. Otherwise people will remain at their mercy as the Covid business well demonstrated.
