From a doctor bewildered at where all this COVID stuff is going
American Thinker ^ | ug, 2021 | Steve Karp, MD

Until recently, the practice of medicine was based more on science, less on science fiction.

Until recently, the practice of medicine was based more on science, less on science fiction. Even when science fiction acted as foreshadowing, hard evidence was required to turn fiction into non-fiction.

We are told to practice evidence-based medicine. However, evidence today has taken a back seat to wishful thinking — or is it an agenda? A refresher on recent issues is required to see how science fiction has increasingly replaced science and where it leads.

This science fiction story begins with the 2019 "virus" and 2020 "vaccine." A selection of the story's chapters include a virus of which the CDC claimed not to possess a reference sample. A vaccine that did not fit the definition of a vaccine. Approval of a vaccine for which the studies had not reached clinically important endpoints. The lack of time to understand the vaccine's intermediate and long-term effects. The lack of legal liability placed on the manufacturers. The cheap, effective treatments available but ignored.

Are we practicing evidenced-based medicine when mandating what is not a vaccine, as the CDC defines? If this were a vaccine, it would directly stimulate the immune system. It would protect the injected from the disease. It would not claim to protect others from the disease. It would not be in use while mutations arise. What we have does what it should not do and does not do what it should.

The vaccine's clinical endpoint was to prevent mild disease, which could simply be an increase in coughing. Is that clinically relevant? What about having a positive PCR test? That test will be withdrawn at year's end. It cannot differentiate a coronavirus from influenza or other viruses...

And why all of the pressure to vaccinate the whole world’s population?

Do not forget, remedies like HCQ were outright BANNED in several states where the virus appeared early.

Remedies weren’t just “ignored”. They were prevented from demonstrating their effectiveness.

And considerable “weak thinking”, IMHO.

It’s really hard to believe your government wants you dead until you see them point a gun at you...

AND fire the trigger.

Yup, the last paragraph seemed strange to me.

Imagine, if you will, an out-of-control government with a lust for conformity, one that owes massive debt to a communist country and is led by a president that suffers from dementia, even though the news media refuses to acknowledge it or describe it as such...

You might have just entered a place we like to call...The Twilight Zone.

This article loses all credibility with statements like this: “The vaccine’s clinical endpoint was to prevent mild disease, which could simply be an increase in coughing. Is that clinically relevant? What about having a positive PCR test? That test will be withdrawn at year’s end. It cannot differentiate a coronavirus from influenza or other viruses...”

The purpose of the vaccine was to prevent illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths. I has been remarkably effective in those things.

Second, it is a falsehood to state that the PCR test cannot differentiate between influenza or other viruses.

Making completely false statements like these only discredits the anti-vaxxers. Statements like these only prove they are desperate to mislead others.

Whoever wrote this is an idiot. And if he is indeed a physician he should lose his license. What is disturbing to me is the number of docs and nurses jumping on the 15 minute of fame band wagon instead of objectively practicing medicine. This includes the tenpenny tribe dirty dozen who wha have collected over $4 M profits for their websites.

Unbelievable.

The medical profession in Japan is very conservative and risk adverse. As of yesterday they are using and recommending the use of Ivermectin.

Untold lives have been lost due to the politicization of this disease for the purpose of power over the citizens.

The leaders of the FDA, CDC, WHO and this administration should be on trial in the Hague for "Crimes Against Humanity." We did it to the NAZIs that conducted medical experiments on prisoners and Jews. However, they killed far less in their medical experiments.

Does it also apply to doctors who refuse to treat the unvaccinated?
From the beginning it has been extremely difficult, if not impossible, to know the truth because the information provided has been heavy on politics and light on real science. Additionally, it appears that the only solutions adequately studied were those with a huge profit potential.

Big Pharma is collecting billions in profits cramming their dangerous vaccines down the throats of populations all over the world, and you are worried about a few websites.

Because it is what is in the fake vax. They want to control people, everyone. This shot doesn’t stop covid, probably wasn’t meant to. They needed covid as an excuse to stab people with that evil juice.
