Folks, dont get sick anymore. Take care of yourselves as much as you posibly can.

This is what passes for medicine and healthcare today.

None of it in your best interest. They fire anyone who makes a reasonable judgment call. And I am not for these vaccines, but using them before they expire, it could have been any other time-sensitive medicine and this is what you get.

Do not put your life into bid meds hands unless absolutely necessary. You’ll be damaged/dead and still have to pay a big bill for being damaged/dead.

How Doctors Trick You - Dr. McDougall

“Today we bring you - another golden gem of a video from John McDougall MD, this time discussing disease mongering. Disease mongering is what the pharmaceutical and medical device businesses do in order to make money - to push questionable drugs, surgeries, potions, gimmicks and generally unnecessary (but profitable) treatments. The first step in disease mongering is to create a definition for a disease that will encompass a large portion of the population - be that a market for osteoporosis drugs, cholesterol drugs, vaccines - or other unnecessary treatments.

“Doctors then sell the relative rather than absolute benefits. It’s a great way to fool patients, to make them think there is a huge benefit - when the benefit is actually miniscule and the product possibly dangerous. McDougall says doctors need to stop going along with this. In this classic talk from our 2005 Expo, McDougall doesn’t hold back. He won’t be involved in pushing useless treatments - it’s unethical. Unfortunately, it’s the norm for many doctors.”

One of the commenters mentioned NNT (number needed to treat). “The Number Needed to Treat (NNT) is the number of patients you need to treat to prevent one additional bad outcome (death, stroke, etc.). For example, if a drug has an NNT of 5, it means you have to treat 5 people with the drug to prevent one additional bad outcome.”

For example: “Statins, which have become synonymous with “heart-attack-and-stroke-preventing,” have an NNT of 60 for heart attack and 268 for stroke: That’s how many healthy people have to take statins for five years for those respective outcomes to be prevented.” Doesn’t sound very good to me.

Folks, don't get sick anymore. Take care of yourselves as much as you possibly can.

Amen to that. I'm 58 years old and still prescription drug free. I take a prescription as a personal affront. Years ago, my doctor put me on blood pressure medicine and I fumed. I changed my diet, exercised more and got more sleep. I returned in six months with nearly ideal blood pressure. The doctor congratulated me for taking my medicine as prescribed.

I didn't bother telling him that I still had the first bottle at home on the shelf, basically unused. I simply changed doctors.
