The Deep State is the one that foisted Medical Tyranny upon us! Before the Drug Nazis seized control if you needed medicine you went to the chemist/drug store. No mother may i permission slips from their learned men of medicine, and nobody would even dream of kicking in your door, enslaving you and taking all your property.
