August 31, 2023
What’s wrong with the American healthcare system? We had one of the world’s worst fatality rates with Covid and we trail most advanced countries in life expectancy. At the same time, we spend way more per capita on medical treatments.

Rees addresses the limitations of newly-popularized weight loss drugs. He discusses why health disparities are widening among Americans. And he offers lessons from the pandemic.

ENCORE: The Tyranny of Evidence-Based Medicine, Part 1
August 29, 2023
Dr. Richard Amerling is a board-certified nephrologist and Past-President of the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS). He currently serves as Associate Medical Director of America’s Frontline Doctors. What is EBM? Originally intended to bring scientific rigor to the practice of medicine, EBM has been hijacked to further the aims of BigPharma to standardize drug and vaccine protocols with sketchy evidence of safety and efficacy. EBM robs physicians of autonomy and limits their therapeutic options. The result is a kind of paint-by-numbers medicine. Dr. Amerling discusses how this has restricted plausible therapies for Covid; other examples include past campaigns to exaggerate the benefits of cholesterol drugs, installing them as “standard of care”. With their pliant enablers in the media, governments are leveraging EBM to limit what drugs and therapies are available to patients. Click HERE for part 2.
