I read that informative (to me, a physician) study of John D Rockefeller and the Flexner Report with great interest, and saw the foundations for a lot of the medical training and medical culture that I "grew up" in.
The American Board of Family Medicine notified me in January that my Board Certification was under review due to my "advising patients against receiving COVID-19 vaccination".
The Boards of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics also took up this policy in the summer of 2021, when non-vaccination was presented as a crime against humanity, and the "unvaccinated" became "untermenschen", deserving whatever fate the good-Germans might mete out to them.
That trajectory could not be sustained in the part of the US where I live, Texas, because so many people said "NO", like I did. Time has passed and the facts against the vaccines, that they do not last long, are weaker than advertised at-best, and actually facilitate catching COVID after 6 months time, which were starting to be seen last summer, are now joined by excess deaths from clotting disorders and autoimmune disorders caused by the production of spike-protein for at least 6 months (detected in 6:6 tested last year., addressed here: https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/07/quite-contrary.html ) and a strange rise in unexplained excess deaths in healthy working people with jobs and insurance.
I took my FP Board recertification exam in late April, still awaiting word on whether I would be de-certified, and clearly being excluded for any refund of the exam fee.
I have now been notified that I passed the exam, but have heard nothing about the investigation of my telling patients that the "vaccines" were not shown to help healthy young people, should be avoided in pregnancy, and would only be beneficial for a short while. I treated many patients with repurposed antivirals, Zinc/doxycycline (which I think is actually better) when it became available at the same time that I was ordered to stop prescribing the former treatment.
I gave away over $1200 worth of vitamin-D to patients and staff at the clinic in 2020, half just before the big Christmas peak. That may have been the best thing I did. It supports normal immune function.
I replied promptly to my Family Medicine Board in early February, the same day I got the letter. They said they received my reply, but they have said nothing since then.
Are they holding a finger aloft to determine which way the wind is blowing?
John, you actions as an honest physician have been nothing short of heroic, given the ridiculous, oppressive, and let me repeat, ridiculous state abuses. Thank you for being you!
Something got thrown away after "repurposed antivirals", which was that I used hydroxychloroquine, zinc and azithromycin, Dr. Zelenko's protocol, which then-president Trump heard about and publicized, until I was forbidden to do so, even with utmost care, in August 2020. At that same time, Dr. Borody's protocol, which works at all stages of illness, using ivermectin, zinc and doxycycline had the first study in Bangladesh show excellent result. I began prescribing that combination, which only got politically attacked a year later.
I won't go to most "licensed" physicians anymore anyway. I'd rather sign a waiver to have a trained physician treat me in the black market. I believe, unfortunately, that we are going to have to have "underground" medicine for those of us who no longer wish to be part of a system where we don't have a choice as to what treatment we get or what medicines we can take. Although I've lost a lot of respect for the medical community as a whole, I have come to have nothing but respect and admiration for those, like yourself, who have stood firm no matter the cost. Stay strong. There's a lot of us out here who support and admire you.
He's right, y'know. We can't go to Pharma doc's once we realize what's what. I was listening to Corey Lynn speaking with Joe Mercola earlier, and he's convinced there is NO WAY to "fix" the current system... it's utterly corrupt. We have to go back to REAL medicine. But I can sure see inherent problems for the time being...
Public medicine works well in places where there is not regulatory capture and there are not perverse incentives to do things like crank-people-through-to-maximize-revenues.
We have seen, with COVID, refusal to allow safe and common medicines, which happened to help. The benefits of vitamin-D were never publicized. Normal/adequate vitamin-D levels would vastly improve human health.
Exactly. This is exactly how I broke the "fever" of believing Covid was a "viral pandemic." I remember listening to a doctor in Kent, Washington (I live near there). Remember the "virus" was supposedly started in the US in Seattle? From someone coming into the airport, I believe. Kent is very close to the airport... Anyway, this doctor talked about how he had several patients come to him suffering from "Covid." This was maybe late March or April, very early on... He talked about how he treated maybe 20 people with HCQ, Erythromycin (I think it was), and Zinc... I took notes on this, in case my parents came down with the illness. He talked about how, even though his sampling was very small, those 20 or so people, he had a 100% CURE RATE. And then-- all the HCQ was yanked off the shelves! Even doctors couldn't get it. THAT was when the bubble popped for me... HCQ WORKED, it's CHEAP because the PATENT was expired... And THEN he mentioned he thought it was interesting that during that first lockdown, a 5G tower went up right near where all his patients live.
Boooooom.
I converted right then and there-- I remember when the spell "broke," I can see in my mind where I was sitting, what I was wearing, etc., like a photo. So... I've been reading and exploring all this since WAY BACK, listening to the experts BEFORE they were all censored... I have NO DOUBT, NONE WHATSOEVER, that this is a FRAUD the likes of which have never been seen ever before, on the entire world. And it's continuing, because "Covid" was the distraction to put everyone in a state of terror... If you're going to enslave the entire Human species, you have to manipulate them, psychologically, sufficiently enough to pull that off. They did a fairly good job of that!!! But there's never going to be complete brainwashing, because Human Beings are NOT machines, and we notice CLUES and we are tuned in to more than just the obvious. Look how far they've gotten... two and a half years of pulling the wool. Quite an accomplishment! They planned for a loooong time, and worked at it. But because they are insane, there are things they just don't understand about normal people. They will fail. But I think it will get much worse before it gets better. Still, the tipping point is coming.
Dr. John... Proud of your stand! There is life outside the system - you can find it and prosper! All of those certificates we both worked to line our walls with amount to nothing in the game of Life. Stand strong...
There are two paths. One goes "up" to truth and love and light. The other goes "down" to deception and darkness and death. Those on the ascending path embrace life, nature, God. Those on the descending path hate natural life and want to make themselves god of their own 'reality' where they "improve" on life and nature by f*cking with genetics and lying to everybody (including themselves) all the time. The gods of this world are not God. But they are very successful at brainwashing billions of people into believing in their 'scientific' delusions and dragging people down into the stupid hell where they live. Rockefeller 'medicine' is just one iteration of replacing true organic knowledge with 'scientific facts'. It is all lies all the time. "We" are the technology, our own DNA generated living being including our conscious being, our spirit, our soul. That's what the god wannabes hate and have to f*ck up because they can't create anything true and good. They can't invent DNA-based life like God did. They don't have the knowledge or power to do it. They can only damage and dismember and destroy. So choose a side, because the paths are diverging and you are going to end up going to whichever of the two ends you choose: life or death, God's true reality or the gods' delusory hell.
The aspiring and actual tyrants of today are certainly acting like they are so frustrated with the limitations of being human that they want to create a reality in which they have full control (which is impossible). And I think spirit uses the DNA (or whatever biological, physical properties) to help us be who we are... it is all very mysterious and frankly larger than human understanding!
Agreed. Innumerable volumes of philosophy, theology, science and esoterica have been devoted to the question without answering it. So we have our hypotheses, theories and rational (or not so rational) beliefs. I look forward to finding solid answers in the "next" life (:
"History is full of conspiracies; in fact, a lot of major events take place because somebody gets together with somebody else and makes an effort to promote a preferred outcome." Bingo! Catherine Austin Fitts says that if we're not involved in one conspiracy or another, we need to get started!
FWIW, I was a Marine for almost 35 years. It was not uncommon for Marines who were standing in formation for a very long time to collapse at some point. We constantly warned Marines to not "lock their knees" when standing in formation for extended periods (usually associated with some ceremony or other) so they would not faint. If the weather was hot and/or humid, falling Marines increased in number. Not trying to deflect from the possibility that the so-called vaccines played a part, but I did want to mention the phenomenon.
Thank you, important remark. It doesn't look like the weather was close to hot. Again, as with everything in life there can be many reasons but also, there seems to be a bizarre trend in the past year where people just collapse. If there were any honesty left in establishment medicine, they would look and try to understand. But sadly, they are afraid to even think in the direction that maybe, just maybe, it could have something to do with a certain medical product... and because there is no honestly, we can only guess...
Yup. Although the weather here in London wasn’t particularly hot. The units in question will also have been practicing like nuts the last few months, it being the Platty Joobs and all.
I am impressed by your ongoing energy in dealing with what is an unprecedented darkness, multi-layered but also supported by so many people who have been brainwashed and/or just continue "getting on with their lives." As if nothing's happening. As if once the ruse of lifting Covid restrictions signaled a permanent return to their previous lives. They have no idea...
As the englishman he was, I'm pretty certain Orwell would of exclaimed "Bloody Hell!", or possibly "Bloomin'eck!" if ladies or children were present. (What, me missing the point? Naaah.)
I remember my uni days when we took the course in the basic theories of science. One of the things hammered home was that if an extra-ordinary event occurs, look to what has changed in the premises. Even in complex and compound situations (which is all of them really in the humanities and social sciences) this holds true. A good example we used during the course was this:
"What if the state was to offer a tax-financed deduction for buyers of hybrid (ethanol/petrol) cars? What could happen, and why?"
Well, one thing that did happen which the state was warned about but ignored when they later implemented that very idea was this: people who could afford new hybrids got the deduction ($ 5 000 eq, don't know what that would be in today's money as this was 25+ years ago) and then had the cars set to 'petrol only', and were allowed to keep the deduction.
Meaning sales of ethanol-fuel fell, and the governement officials couldn't figure out why, because people doing what they want to rather than what state apparatchiks thought they should didn't fit their plan.
It's the same with the poor lads collapsing - they are in perfect health given their service, fit and trained and undergo regular check-ups. So what factor in the life of an english soldier has changed from 2020 to today?
I'll bet you a sovereign it's not the luke-warm lager they drink...
"Society should seriously consider moving Orwell to the non-fiction category at this point" (someone posted on some mob media, Twitter I suppose)
By all means, 1984 was a satirical novel and a veiled criticism of both communism and Western mass democracy. There is nothing new in any modern dystopian novel, there is no theme which has not been handled in the political philosophies centuries before, up to the ancient Greeks, albeit way more intelligently. Talking of abandoning reason... 1984 has become an all too popular novel, with all what that implies... 1984 is a satire full of comical descriptions and situations, though to an extent in lack of wit and humour, aborting the need of self-reflection and capacity of self-relativation, which is why it makes the most popular appeal among all the dystopian novels, and why the book became the standard reference of those who are witless and ignorant members of the modern Democratic Church, taking themselves too serious. Of which the twittering person appears as a perfect example, thereby banning even wit and satire, and a sense of the absurd through the most witless and bleak dystopian novel, popularly declaring its grotesque and absurd narratives should get the status of non-fiction. Well maybe she is right, as the people after all are absurd and grotesque. The fact itself that he novel is popularly taken so serious is hilarious and absurd, taking the exaggerated absurd for the real.
The function of satire should be to expose the absurd and the false, to neutralize its false power and claims through humour which comes along with a sense of the absurd. It handles the absurd in a creative way, by imaginary situations, in which there is something real, though heavily exaggerated.
The only 'big brother' which exists, and to which about everybody is hooked up like a brain implantation, is the uniformizing tyrannical mind of the democratic masses, implanted in everybody's head through mass democracy and its tyrannical culture. The only big brother power is the culture of the masses, and the democratic politicisation of everything. The only big brother is the hyper-large all regulating and overseeing statist-socialist state, a monster produced by democratic people themselves, nobody else. And the only big brother is the media, an ubiquitously present monster birthed by over-politicized people through addiction and obsession with media and political activism, by the people, of the people, for the people, regardless whether it is mainstream or alternative. The only big brother 'writing history as it sees fit' is the conqueror called democratic people. The only force 'rewriting and erasing' tradition and intellectual tradition is democratic man and his representative leaders.
The popularity of the novel 1984 is itself a product of democratic popular erasure of intellectual history, political philosophy, and a sophisticated sense of satire and the absurd. The 1984 novel is used popularly all too serious to play the old ideological game of democracy. To blame some kind of imaginary elite, who supposedly run the world apart from the democratic systems, having hypnotized the people, the innocent holy cows of democracy, establishments allegedly always sabotaging The People's Utopia . It is a matter of democratic propaganda, resorting to the old democratic tricks of blaming elites, a haughty upper class (who do they think they are), high above the alleged innocent 'peasants', propaganda like a needle stuck in a groove, repeating the same old narrative.
The democracy is a tyrannical failure, and its activism is outdated. The elites run grotesque narratives which leads to dystopian views and fear, through the war on terror, the pandemic psychosis, and the human caused climate change scam, combined with an empty humanism for the show. But the counter-force runs a mix of worn out narratives and ideas combined with the same grotesque fear mongering on a basis of a vast culture of grotesque and bleak dystopian narratives too. Both parties are representatives of a perverse and impotent culture, expressed in movies, books, media and politics, which are all, establishment or anti-establishment, expressions of the increasingly inhumane spirit of mass democracy.
Is that catchy? a kind of mix of a two centuries old battle cry, updated to the new situation.
It should all be the fault of elites (establishments) of course, to play that two centuries old game is absolutely necessary, it makes a powerful story for the unreflective and the ignorant. It is a classical appeal in accordance with the handbook of revolutionary battle cries of people's ideology, sorry, democracy. Except that there is not so much oppression these days, rather mostly soft power and pressure, but therefor it is invented that the people are hypnotized by elites this time. Though curiously, after about 150 years of democracy, these establishments are made of... of who actually.. And after 150 years of ever growing access to education and information, everybody should by now be capable of being a vigilant and thoroughly informed citizen, not?.
Or is it that all contemporary activism is working with 'the scrap' of the garbage of outdated people's ideology and its illusions?
As Oscar Wilde wrote:
"Those who lead the mob, can only do so by following the mob"
Hydroxychloroquine, zinc and azithromycin was Dr. Zelenko's protocol and worked well, espcially if given within the first few days of symptoms. Everybody who was treating caught on to high dose vitamin-D early.
(Good God. Are we going to be watching people dropping now?)

Tessa sells out. Oh well, folks gotta make a living I guess. Give the people what they want. Certainly explains recent forays into establishment politics.
Integrity of vision is a lonely, deserted road. Can't say I blame you. Might want to find yourself a sturdy pair of kneepads, girl. Say hi to Charles for me.
I don't know who you are (you never answered that question no matter how many times I asked) but you go through those weird phases where you either say that I am totally amazing, or that I am a horrible human being, and it swings like a pendulum, in an irrational manner. While I do absolutely depend on receiving paid subscriptions and donations in order to eat (I do have a stomach, scandalous!), I was talking about the article on Dr. Mercola's website, so you went into your criticizing phase based on a misread paragraph. Yikes!
You utterances appear much too cryptical, both too high flown and below par for a woman, it's not gallant and passionate, neither practically applicable, and neither philosophically stimulating, as our opposite sex, if of intelligent female nature, righteously demands it.
Thanks Tessa.
I read that informative (to me, a physician) study of John D Rockefeller and the Flexner Report with great interest, and saw the foundations for a lot of the medical training and medical culture that I "grew up" in.
As you know I was fired in October from the clinic where I had worked 18 non-continuous years for refusal to submit to COVID vaccination, which story I told here: https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/10/go-down-gardening.html
The American Board of Family Medicine notified me in January that my Board Certification was under review due to my "advising patients against receiving COVID-19 vaccination".
The Boards of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics also took up this policy in the summer of 2021, when non-vaccination was presented as a crime against humanity, and the "unvaccinated" became "untermenschen", deserving whatever fate the good-Germans might mete out to them.
That trajectory could not be sustained in the part of the US where I live, Texas, because so many people said "NO", like I did. Time has passed and the facts against the vaccines, that they do not last long, are weaker than advertised at-best, and actually facilitate catching COVID after 6 months time, which were starting to be seen last summer, are now joined by excess deaths from clotting disorders and autoimmune disorders caused by the production of spike-protein for at least 6 months (detected in 6:6 tested last year., addressed here: https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/07/quite-contrary.html ) and a strange rise in unexplained excess deaths in healthy working people with jobs and insurance.
I took my FP Board recertification exam in late April, still awaiting word on whether I would be de-certified, and clearly being excluded for any refund of the exam fee.
I have now been notified that I passed the exam, but have heard nothing about the investigation of my telling patients that the "vaccines" were not shown to help healthy young people, should be avoided in pregnancy, and would only be beneficial for a short while. I treated many patients with repurposed antivirals, Zinc/doxycycline (which I think is actually better) when it became available at the same time that I was ordered to stop prescribing the former treatment.
I gave away over $1200 worth of vitamin-D to patients and staff at the clinic in 2020, half just before the big Christmas peak. That may have been the best thing I did. It supports normal immune function.

The only 'big brother' which exists, and to which about everybody is hooked up like a brain implantation, is the uniformizing tyrannical mind of the democratic masses, implanted in everybody's head through mass democracy and its tyrannical culture. The only big brother power is the culture of the masses, and the democratic politicisation of everything. The only big brother is the hyper-large all regulating and overseeing statist-socialist state, a monster produced by democratic people themselves, nobody else. And the only big brother is the media, an ubiquitously present monster birthed by over-politicized people through addiction and obsession with media and political activism, by the people, of the people, for the people, regardless whether it is mainstream or alternative. The only big brother 'writing history as it sees fit' is the conqueror called democratic people. The only force 'rewriting and erasing' tradition and intellectual tradition is democratic man and his representative leaders.
The popularity of the novel 1984 is itself a product of democratic popular erasure of intellectual history, political philosophy, and a sophisticated sense of satire and the absurd. The 1984 novel is used popularly all too serious to play the old ideological game of democracy. To blame some kind of imaginary elite, who supposedly run the world apart from the democratic systems, having hypnotized the people, the innocent holy cows of democracy, establishments allegedly always sabotaging The People's Utopia . It is a matter of democratic propaganda, resorting to the old democratic tricks of blaming elites, a haughty upper class (who do they think they are), high above the alleged innocent 'peasants', propaganda like a needle stuck in a groove, repeating the same old narrative.
The democracy is a tyrannical failure, and its activism is outdated. The elites run grotesque narratives which leads to dystopian views and fear, through the war on terror, the pandemic psychosis, and the human caused climate change scam, combined with an empty humanism for the show. But the counter-force runs a mix of worn out narratives and ideas combined with the same grotesque fear mongering on a basis of a vast culture of grotesque and bleak dystopian narratives too. Both parties are representatives of a perverse and impotent culture, expressed in movies, books, media and politics, which are all, establishment or anti-establishment, expressions of the increasingly inhumane spirit of mass democracy.
Rise oppressed peasants!
Rise, city and suburb dwellers,
Rise from your grave of decadence,
Awaken from the spellbound of the establishments!
Rise up to the oppressors.
Is that catchy? a kind of mix of a two centuries old battle cry, updated to the new situation.
It should all be the fault of elites (establishments) of course, to play that two centuries old game is absolutely necessary, it makes a powerful story for the unreflective and the ignorant. It is a classical appeal in accordance with the handbook of revolutionary battle cries of people's ideology, sorry, democracy. Except that there is not so much oppression these days, rather mostly soft power and pressure, but therefor it is invented that the people are hypnotized by elites this time. Though curiously, after about 150 years of democracy, these establishments are made of... of who actually.. And after 150 years of ever growing access to education and information, everybody should by now be capable of being a vigilant and thoroughly informed citizen, not?.
Or is it that all contemporary activism is working with 'the scrap' of the garbage of outdated people's ideology and its illusions?
As Oscar Wilde wrote:
"Those who lead the mob, can only do so by following the mob"
Establishments should be pitied...
Hydroxychloroquine, zinc and azithromycin was Dr. Zelenko's protocol and worked well, espcially if given within the first few days of symptoms. Everybody who was treating caught on to high dose vitamin-D early.
(Good God. Are we going to be watching people dropping now?)

Tessa sells out. Oh well, folks gotta make a living I guess. Give the people what they want. Certainly explains recent forays into establishment politics.
Integrity of vision is a lonely, deserted road. Can't say I blame you. Might want to find yourself a sturdy pair of kneepads, girl. Say hi to Charles for me.
I don't know who you are (you never answered that question no matter how many times I asked) but you go through those weird phases where you either say that I am totally amazing, or that I am a horrible human being, and it swings like a pendulum, in an irrational manner. While I do absolutely depend on receiving paid subscriptions and donations in order to eat (I do have a stomach, scandalous!), I was talking about the article on Dr. Mercola's website, so you went into your criticizing phase based on a misread paragraph. Yikes!
You utterances appear much too cryptical, both too high flown and below par for a woman, it's not gallant and passionate, neither practically applicable, and neither philosophically stimulating, as our opposite sex, if of intelligent female nature, righteously demands it.
