NOTE: In this medical news section we try to give our readers information about interesting and promising developments in the fight against major diseases, but readers must keep in mind that we are often forced to publish materials originating within the US-style capitalist healthcare industry in which profits and not wellness is the main driver for action or inaction.
Pennsylvania House of Representative - Summary and Testimony Dr. Pierre Kory, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Specialist, President and Chief Medical Officer of the Front Line Critical Care Alliance
Summary Points:
• A war on off- patent, FDA-approved, inexpensive, safe "repurposed drugs" has been waged by the pharmaceutical industry for decades in an attempt to preserve profits for novel, patented, high-profit drugs.

The Ivermectin Battle on YouTube, Wikipedia, Big Media, etc.
Among YouTube personalities, Dr John Campbell, a British advocate for Ivermectin who has published videos comparing the efficacy of Ivermectin with new, far costlier drugs hurriedly developed by Big Pharma during the Covid "emergency", has quickly become a persona non grata to most establishment institutions and mouthpieces—from government agencies such as NIH to the MSM, Wikipedia, and even prominent physicians—all such forces united in an effort to discredit his video presentations. Is Dr Campbell the dangerous, misleading quack his enemies are warning us about? Just follow the cui bono in this battle of communications and you'll get your answer. In the US, where the problem seems more acute, most doctors that Americans are likely to see are deeply embedded in a system of large "health maintenance orgs" or equivalent—these days owned by large financial groups—or smaller, private, for-profit, group practices similarly connected to the major establishment players. Such people are not likely to rock the boat, and as the record shows, they rarely do. From its earliest beginnings, US medicine—physicians, medicine schools, hospitals, and pharmacological manufacturers— has been a jealously guarded capitalist sphere. US doctors by tradition and acculturation see themselves as "independent professionals", or "small entrepreneurs". In the 20th century, whenever people, including highly qualified critics, finally raised their voices to question the scandalously expensive and ultimately inefficient for-profit healthcare system used by Americans, the AMA (American Medical Assn) was at the forefront of its defenders, frequently paying for big advertising campaigns and lobbyists, or warning about "the tyranny of socialism", to defeat such measures, despite substantial majority support among the population. Scum like Ronald Reagan, of course, was happy to participate in such campaigns.

Ronald Reagan Speaks out Against Socialized Medicine
yada yada yada—Below this video's official description
Ronald Reagan speaks out against socialized medicine. A modernly relevant portion of a 1961 LP recorded by Ronald Reagan. In this recording, Reagan warned that socialized medicine would curtail Americans' freedom and that "pretty soon your son won't decide when he's in school, where he will go or what he will do for a living. He will wait for the government to tell him." Ronald Reagan clearly unfolds how social medicine encroaches upon Americans' freedoms. Whether deliberately advancing socialization under the guise of humanitarian effort, or simply instituting another social program with reduced individual freedoms following in its wake, socialized medicine will lead to the erosion of every American's God-given rights and freedoms.
(In 1975 the Wall Street Journal ran a piece noting that 75% of Americans favored a universal, public healthcare system as it existed in all other developed capitalist countries, including Britain and Canada, of course).
That the Western establishment—led by the US ruling elites—is completely committed to badmouthing Ivermectin and similar drugs is clear in the obvious and even threatening ways they allow the presentation of materials speaking favorably of Ivermectin. YouTube, of course, is owned by Google, one of the biggest Big Tech platforms dedicated to censorship and narrative control in the West. Clearly, we now live in a world in which historically non-politicized agencies such as the FDA or NIH have been "captured" —bought off—by huge industry-financial blocs, such as Big Pharma, and the upshot is that they no longer work for us, but for the interests of the oligarchy. As a result, their proceedings (i.e., research), pronouncements and recommendations can no longer be at face value. Because they are now aggressively doing the bidding of corporate conglomerates such as Big Pharma, of which Pfizer is a notorious leader, they obligate us to be on guard.

Remember When Late Night Hosts Mocked Ivermectin? – Now Approved By FDA To Treat COVID!
Late-night talk show hosts like Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel were among the most hostile members of the commentariat when it came to the so-called “horse paste” that’s better known around the world as the miracle drug Ivermectin. Ivermectin has now been approved by the FDA to treat COVID, so will these propaganda-spewing establishment shills start joking about how wrong they were? Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger review the decidedly unfunny Ivermectin jokes told on late-night television.

Dr. Robert Malone: Pfizer Video From Project Veritas ‘Profoundly Disturbing’
Pfizer is allegedly looking into “mutating” COVID-19 in order to facilitate the development of new vaccines, according to an undercover video released by the nonprofit journalism group Project Veritas. NTD spoke to Dr. Robert Malone, who helped develop messenger RNA technology, about the alleged admission. Malone called the assertions made in the video “profoundly disturbing.” Pfizer on Jan. 28 responded in a statement, saying, “In the ongoing development of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, Pfizer has not conducted gain of function or directed evolution research.” The lengthy written statement came after days of the leading biopharmaceuticals company ignoring queries from The Epoch Times and other outlets.
People Badmouthing Ivermectin (And Dr Campbell)
Dr. John Campbell's Pfizer antiviral / Ivermectin misinformation: A detailed response
Dr. John Campbell created a video in which he claims to have demonstrated that Ivermectin has the same pharmacodynamic modality of action as the new Pfizer antiviral PF-07321332, which inhibits the 3CL main protease of SARS-Cov-2. In this video I address Dr. Campbell's misunderstandings and show that the biochemical mechanism he claims is not well supported by data, that his interpretations are based on misundertandings of the literature, and that -- even if ivermectin inhibits the 3CL protease exactly as he describes in biochemical assays -- Ivermectin cannot achieve the corresponding pharmacodynamic effect because the highest possible concentration in the human body is several orders of magnitude too low. Dr. Campbell's basic misunderstandings of the biochemistry, as well as his evident failure to grasp the differences between a biochemical effect and a pharmacodynamic effect, are consequential in a pandemic because of his enormous influence on this platform.

ALL CAPTIONS AND PULL QUOTES BY THE EDITORS NOT THE AUTHORS
When I had severe intestinal upset, my general physician at the time prescribed that I should take one tablet of Ivermectin (cost $ 1) which I did. That was at the height of Covid19 and I did not catch it for a year after which I had symptoms and received the
infusion like what Trump received (my doctor told me that the other remedies would interfere with my heart and cancer medication). After that I have been fine, deo volente.
Thanks for this comment. I got Covid19 about 3 miserable days ago, and the ONLY thing my medical group (Optum) would prescribe was Pfizer’s Paxlovid, OR, in my case since this drug apparently clashed with my other drug cocktail, something called Lagevrio, made by some Swedish company. The “effectiveness” ratings were lopsided in favor of Paxlovid (88%), vs Lagevrio (33%), but that’s what I’ve been taking with mediocre results so far since ALL doctors refuse to prescribe Ivermectin, which I directly asked for. It’s all a Big Pharma scam favoring the mRNA vaccines mafia. If you know where to get… Read more »
I wish that I could help you. Mine was fortunately prescribed for extreme stomach problems. It may help you to approach your doctor with a complaint of severe bacteria
infection (or maybe it is available on the internet from Canada or some such). Good luck, in this world lies go farther than honesty. Happy New Year to you and all.
