To be shame patients for not taking a shot or particular medicine ( statins or otherwise) is not our place as physicians. APS cannot remove one from a foul home wreaking of cat urine if they are mentally sane.
We guide. We assist. We console. But never can we physicians cheat Death of Her spoil.
Years ago I wrote a paper as to why smokers should not pay more for healthcare. Dr Elias Baumgarten U of Mich interrupted my final stating it was the best argument he had read. Point being that the yamas and niyamas of medicine ( Maharishi Patanjali reference) must include our Hippocratic oath and humility, remembering our own fallibility.
I had the same issue. My HDL is 85, but the LDL is high. I am now taking Red Yeast Rice which has been well studied as a natural statin. At my annual, my PCP did everything but sing the praises of vaccines and warned me about not having the flu vaccine (which I think still has Thimerosal) There was a huge poster on the wall denouncing all the reasons used not to take statins. Then she informed me that the probable reason my kidney function was low was "those supplements you take". She then related that another patient had the same issue and she had to "get off those supplements". I asked which one caused kidney issues and the response was: "Well, you never know because most people take several at once." Using that analogy, then you "never know" if it was the supplements to begin with. So I started looking them up and found that NAC , which is used to prevent Covid 19 and the flu, is being used FOR patients with kidney failure. :) It is actually published by the NIH. So I sent her that information. She was also concerned that there's no quality control, which for some supplements is true. But I use Thorne and they have a third party evaluate their supplements. As to my kidneys, I didn't hydrate enough, live in AZ and work out daily. I am now counting the amount of water I drink daily. The new lab result was like last year's result. End of story.
That's how allopathic medicine has been training docs for over a century now, so not really his "fault" beyond that he never questioned its validity, or, probably, looked beyond it. Even as nurses trained in that timeframe and mindset, my Mom, sister, and I learned it too.
Mom started to see its failures later in life, and look at other options a bit, and so have I done, but my sister is still stuck in it. I got the lesson about asking "wrong" questions, while still in HS; it was a bit of a shock, to say the least.
BTW, stay off the statins; they do more harm than good.
Mandating vaccines was not new with the COVID "vaccines." Taking flu vaccines had been mandated for years, with loss of employment the ultimate stick used to force compliance. "Evidence-based" medical establishments had no problem doing so even though what little evidence there was for the utility of such a mandate came only from long-term care facilities, which are a very different setting from outpatient medical clinics or acute care hospital settings. Many HCW's were already distrustful of the administrative bodies and forcing people to take those vaccines certainly didn't help. The mRNA jabs were really a step too far, and the destructive effect on hospitals and respect for the health care establishment is profound, and it will take years for the respect they once enjoyed to be recovered, assuming they don't shoot themselves in the foot the next time some contagious illness shows up. My experience with many (but not all) health care administrators is that thelr egos make the probability of them learning some humility very poor.
Those were bad enough! Try the military; they never met a vaxx they didn't like! But even they used to have a little better sense. I only got the 1st 2 jabs, after warning I would likely need a room in the infirmary for the rest of the month ( I already had an history of adverse reactions). They laughed it off for 2 days, 'til we went back for the next round... I never had another vaxx! Their decision...
This "expert" literature must be what Trump reads or hears - that he is still so believing in the vax, he pushed it and he cannot believe he has ever made a wrong choice. I wonder if anyone is able to talk to him.... he thinks he has a divine link.
That would help, but he has more to repent than just that error, even from his WH yrs! He did better than I expected, but it was a long way from as great as he and many others think,who refuse to see his errors in office, and his past!
That is your right to choose. At this point in the geopolitical and spiritual conflict, I honestly don't believe we will see an election this yr. I'm honestly not sure a lot of us will be here, come November, not that that would change the absence of an election. I believe 8 April will be a lot more than a solar eclipse and the start of Passover, but will also start the last countdown clock on the 70th week of yrs, leading to the final Jubilee, and that those 7 yrs will be the most tumultuous in all human history.
I, too, do not believe there will be a 2024 election. Government created emergency and martial law.
With regard to April 8, I opened the AT&T mobile device fiasco was a test run on shutting down communications . But the blame will be the solar eclipse. Will include the internet as well. Cash, food water and ammo may be reasonable precautions.
I am in Brasil presently. U S residence is in Texas. I will be watching from the beach. 🇧🇷🌞🌴🌊🏖
Solar flares and the attendant temps would suit that better, but leftists aren't strong on real science, so that could make "sense" to them. I'm in TX, near, but not right under, where it'll pass through. Be blessed, and keep your faith!
Oh, it is, at least in large part! "Operation Warp Speed" ring any bells? He's old enough to know how long it took to develop, and bring to market, the Salk vaccine for polio! He's my age, and I do; as well as to know vaccines for other diseases were few back in those yrs! Rushing a vaccine to market is like rushing a new plane to market, without adequate tests, ask Boeing...
I would forgive him, already have; but that doesn't mean I want to trust his judgment again. That was only 1 of his colossal blunders that harmed American citizens, and he's shown he's a lousy huge of characters.
Have you not yet realized Trump is not and never was a conservative? Or that he was a card carrying Dem, 'til he decided to run for POTUS and changed parties? His Dad always ran as a Dem...
He did have a divine mandate, which he failed to carry out, and that was why Yhwh God removed him from office! The cheating would've failed as it did in'16, had he done what he was put in to do: round up the religious and political leaders and lead a national repentance, then revival! Instead, he tried doing it his way, in his own strength, and failed, the jabs being only 1 of many symptoms thereof!
I may be wrong but I rather doubt anyone has been able to be brutally honest with him in many decades, probably not even Melania, for all he could learn a few things from her...
“…vaccine mandates should have no role in organized medicine…”
Exactly.
Medical practitioners have a legal and ethical obligation to obtain voluntary informed consent for medical interventions, including vaccination - how have they collaborated with vaccine mandates?!
This isn’t just about Covid-19 vaccination, vaccine mandates have been in place for years - for medical practitioners themselves, for children, for the military, and others.
But vaccination should never have been mandated - so how has this happened?
There’s been a concerted effort to shut down dissent about vaccination policy and practice…and now here we are, with vaccination schedules burgeoning with an ever-increasing number of vaccine products and revaccinations.
The biggest culprit is the medical ‘profession’ which has collaborated with foisting these products on mass populations, they are the ones inserting the needles and the contents into arms…and they are not obtaining valid voluntary informed consent.
This is such a massive scandal, coming to a head now with the Covid debacle.
This has to be investigated and exposed, BIG TIME!
Great article! "We conclude by noting that an apartheid-like system has been imposed on HCWs for simply demanding the free exercise of their human right to informed consent."
Yes - "The violations of medical ethics..." - regardless of safety and efficacy.
The baseline compliance in healthcare with mandatory vaccines as a condition of employment was key to the Covid op. Cut-and-paste comment from another thread today:
Flu shot mandates turned out to be the longterm “benign” back-dooring and brain-washing for “EUA mandates” in healthcare and aged care etc. These cohorts of workers were primed and programmed to “lead by example” during Covid. In fact, the majority in these occupational groups “volunteered” - or followed pre-mandate orders - well before the Covid mandate was imposed on them.
Touché! I love this statement: "We have also argued that mandated vaccination for HCWs, or any other social group for that matter, is at odds with the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusivity, held normatively in high esteem by the same institutions that appear to be participating in subverting them in practice" So much for all that DEI virtue-signaling!
A clearer understanding of "herd immunity" would help better inform the public debate. The theory of "herd immunity" is foundational to the concept of mass vaccination. It says that if a certain percentage of a population is vaccinated, the whole population (including those who must remain unvaccinated, such as the immunosuppressed) is protected from the outbreak. But if herd immunity is real, wouldn't the percentage needed to vaccinate vary according on the disease? And is there a better way to protect immunosuppressed people than to vaccinate everybody? For example, could guidelines be given about time periods during which immunosuppressed people should avoid going out in public to avoid specific diseases, such as the seasonal flu? Counterarguments to the theory of herd immunity also exist.
The conclusion, which you were kind enough to include in its entirety, says it all. Now, the questions remain: Who's going to admit to committing the atrocities that were inflicted upon HCWs globally and under what circumstances should those admissions of culpability be accepted? Hopefully, in courts of law--again, globally.
45 was naive when it came to DC and the WH. The RNC surrounded him with failed adult minds inclusive of Pence.
Remember what James Comey proudly boasted about just walking into the WH? Because we could. It was unorganized disarray.
45's international estate success speaks for itself. Entrepreneurs know how to take risks.
I finished reading the book Trumponomics yesterday. Second read. A quote from the WSJ was presented . It contrasted those suffering from TDS and reality. " The best thing about Donald Trump is his policies."
Primary Care doctors in the U.S. are taught to respond to numbers on a piece of paper. If the "HbA1C is over 5.7, you get Metformin" to start with. If the LDL is high, there is enough good literature to support that lowering it lowers the risk of a cardiac event. But it is a rare Internist who will go over diet with you to start the conversation.
The medical “establishment”, organizations and individuals, will NEVER recover from this SCAMDEMIC breach of trust.

Great post, Sir. Thank you
One real argument about smoking is the cost out of pocket to cause known harms to self.
All while thinking how GLAMOROUS my image must be.
Thus Blame Hollywood nonsense for dumb lifestyle habits.
But the article is about cancelling Health Care Workers, not the patients. It has had devastating consequences for some.

The Covid 19 theater was an "Intelligence data collecting test" as a global experiment.
How well did you score? Did the 9/11 theater help you to determine what Authority is? Me too.
Pretty clear to me now who set the stage, assembled the actors, wrote the script, Lied horribly,
Bought the MEDIA that protected the narrative, along with all .GOV Admin already invested
in stock market names and numbers, with tax money used to pay the tab for the Hooligans .
Yup....it's one helluva gig if you are invited into the club. How far would you go to join the club?
Not nearly far enough!

" I am sorry. I was wrong to have done what I did."

I am sticking with him, SLS.
He is an anti establishment icon.
The DC UniParty has failed the nation.
Concentrate on taxes, regulation, energy and national security like the f'in border.
You will be a happier soul.
