"Once Biden won the election, Hotez made a remarkable pivot"

--------

And he wasn't the only one.

In fact, I would go so far as to say that if Donald Trump won in 2020, there would have been no jab mandates, because the left would have reflexively recoiled against them.

Put another way, we only got the mandates because Biden won. And Pharma HAD to know that going in -- which is probably why they delayed announcement that the shot was ready until AFTER the election.

As a medical professional myself (PharmD), once the pandemic hit, I had to wrestle with this question, "where has the innovation in medicine gone?" During the pandemic, looking at the literature, you realize, "why are we making decisions off of baseless and poorly done studies (i.e., vaccine studies stating 95% success rate)?" I saw this with other colleagues that would normally scrutinize other medical data... but for the pandemic medical data, whatever the science says, went.

So during the pandemic, while locked away, and why asking the very important question, "WHY" and not judging any answer that came to mind, but thoroughly exploring them, I came to see the world in a brand new light.

I came to realize that:

1. There is politics in science and there has been for a while. I was educated with political science and I needed to come to terms with that. This political science was called "Scientism"

2. This politics goes back way before anyone practicing medicine today lived. We need to understand the origins of the Flexner report (back in the early 1900s), the Rockerfellers and how THEY shaped the modern medicine we practice.

3. When we follow this trail, we see the power behind grants and how THAT determines what WE practice on our patients. Ex: Statins first use in Cholesterol or Opioids in Pain populations.

As a pharmacist and seeing how pharma shaped medicine by being behind the sidelines and educating doctors to prescribe certain ways, I came to terms with WHY medicine is the way it is.

PS: I wrote this substack to show how our modern world is a result of that political science, known as scientism, which shapes everything we do today: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-religious-tenants-of-scientism

The good news is that I discovered OTHER ways to practice true medicine. I discovered the work of Dr. Mercola, Dr. Thomas Cowan, and many, many others that produced real results -- unlike funded results which need to have certain effects occur. This and many others instances show that while modern medicine today as we know it can no longer offer new and innovative treatments (that are in the patient's best interest), there is an exciting opportunity for new practitioners who do care about the patients best interest to thrive and flourish.

As I go on in my medical career, I look to grow deeper and more versed in this promising, innovative field of medicine and hoping others (practitioners and patients) join in doing the same.
