If someday a patient can pass through an entire medical encounter without being truly examined, we should ask ourselves: have we created the most technologically advanced medicine in history, while simultaneously forgetting how to practice medicine?
Medicine Has Forgotten How to Touch the Patient Continue Reading
Secretary Kennedy is right to question the cost and power of the American Medical Association’s Current Procedural Terminology monopoly. But eliminating CPT would solve the wrong problem—and could create a much larger one.
Will we repeat actions simply because the correct institution has ordered them? The Humane Societies asked whether the apparently dead could be resuscitated. Our question is now more unsettling: can medicine recover its courage before its conscience is gone?
The final kill switch is transparent noncoerced consent. Instead of taking “a share of the loot” from the drug-DOPE game, we need our universities, the National Institutes of Health, and our medical system to enshrine the principle of non-coerced consent.
Four targets — blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and BMI — the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, four ways to medicalize you, four ways to apply a disease-mongered label to you, and four avenues for you to start living under a dark cloud.

The prevailing understanding of poliovirus pathogenesis posits that the virus, following intestinal infection, gains access to the central nervous system through viremia and subsequent crossing of the blood-brain barrier. However, this model fails to explain several features of the historical polio epidemic.
Working with military intelligence and pharmaceutical companies, Fauci and his colleagues eventually hatched an audacious plan to delay natural immunity for ten months as they awaited both the election and the viable release of the injectable product called a vaccine.
CDC Principal Deputy Director Ralph Abraham argued that “framing measles as an American policy failure is inaccurate and misleading,” asserting that resources including vaccines and therapeutics have been surged nationwide and that the current measles situation reflects broader global trends.
The narratives of the pandemic travelled across borders. Accountability cannot be allowed to vanish between them. The record belongs to the people who bore the consequences—and they should not have to wait for another country to tell them what happened.
Servicemen and women deserve better than to be used as a captive market for a “high-tech snake oil scam”. True tactical advantage comes from ensuring that the safety of our troops is never sacrificed for a bureaucrat’s misguided “High-T” fantasy.
