"They also reported him to the Board of Medicine, which concocted another set of bogus charges against him. They accused him of prescribing ivermectin to fictional patients whom they falsely claimed were injured by the drug.

“The truth is I was never actually able to prescribe ivermectin,” Marik says. “The patients they claimed I treated were nonexistent patients, so that tells you how far the Virginia Board of Medicine will go ... This is the problem if you try to speak out. The [hospital administration] went out of their way to destroy my career because I wanted to treat my patients.”

According to Marik, some of his colleagues who have gone against the narrative have even been physically threatened, and had the lives of their families threatened unless they stop talking. “So, this is serious,” Marik says. The fact of the matter is that doctors who argue against the Big Pharma narrative are a threat to trillion-dollar revenues. Compared to such sums, the value of a doctor’s life is nil."

"Marik points out there were, and still are, enormous financial incentives for hospitals to not provide proper care to COVID patients. Those financial incentives also helped drive up the COVID death count early on in the pandemic. As explained by Marik, every COVID patient has what amounts to a $400,000 to $500,000 bounty on their head, as hospitals receive bonus payments for:9 10

Admission of a “COVID patient,” COVID testing and COVID diagnoses.

Use of remdesivir — According to Marik, the U.S. government pays hospitals a 20% upcharge on the entire hospital bill when remdesivir is used.11 12 13

Use of mechanical ventilation, which Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services whistleblowers claim kill 84.9% of COVID patients within as few as 96 hours,14 typically due to barotrauma15 (trauma to the lungs from the elevated pressure).

COVID deaths — In August 2020, former director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Robert Redfield, agreed hospitals had a financial incentive to overcount COVID deaths.16

According to Marik, whether the patient lives or dies is irrelevant. In fact, if they die, there’s additional monies to be had. The hospitals basically see COVID patients as a cash cow, which is why they don’t tolerate doctors who use early treatment. As shocking as this is to some, it’s not the first time this has happened. Doctors were also paid to prescribe opioids, which contributed to the lethal opioid epidemic."

"Just as Marik balked at health authorities’ recommendation to not offer early treatment — something completely unheard of until the advent of COVID — he also balked at the idea that patients were faking COVID jab injuries.

After the rollout of the shots, the FLCCC started getting calls from people who were desperate for help, as they suffered serious health problems shortly after their shots. Almost universally, their doctors had told them the shot couldn’t possibly be at fault.

Marik was not so sure, and once he began to really investigate the matter, he realized the data overwhelmingly showed there were serious problems. Marik is now so certain the shots are dangerous, he says he wouldn’t recommend it to a single living soul on the planet, and the FLCCC is now one of the few groups treating COVID jab injuries as well as COVID infection and long-COVID.

‘Unlearning Everything I Learned’
Marik’s professional experiences over the past three years have clearly resulted in a massive awakening to the fact that things have not been as they appeared. He says that in the past six months, he’s come to realize that he was essentially brainwashed by Big Pharma throughout medical school, and that much of what he learned was simply wrong.

He also realized you cannot trust medical journals. They too have been corrupted by Big Pharma. So, now, he’s in the process of unlearning the lies he was taught, and he’s starting anew, looking at health and disease with fresh eyes."

"Medicine Has Gone Off the Rails
For the past 25 years, and likely far longer, allopathic medicine has been a leading cause of death in the United States. As detailed in “Are Medical Errors Still the Third Leading Cause of Death?” in 1998, researchers concluded that properly prescribed and correctly taken pharmaceutical drugs were the fourth leading cause of death.24 25

Two years later, in 2000, an article in JAMA written by the late Dr. Barbara Starfield detailed how physicians were the third leading cause of death in the U.S. One of Starfield's points of contention with the medical system was the lack of systematic recording and studying of adverse events — a shortcoming that has been taken to absurd levels during the COVID era.

A 2003 article titled “Death by Medicine,”26 written by Dr. Carolyn Dean, Gary Null, Ph.D., Dr. Martin Feldman, Dr. Debora Rasio and Dorothy Smith, Ph.D., described how the modern conventional American medical system had by then bumbled its way into becoming the No. 1 leading cause of death and injury in the United States, claiming the lives of nearly 784,000 people annually.

These iatrogenic deaths (meaning deaths resulting from the activity of physicians) include everything from adverse drug reactions and avoidable medical errors, to hospital-acquired infections, surgeries gone bad and deaths from unnecessary medical procedures.

During COVID, all of the shortcomings of medicine have been amplified to the point that many now refer to hospitals as “killing fields” — places where greed rules and patients are mistreated, tortured and killed for profit.

So far, the COVID death toll in the U.S. is well over 1 million,27 and it’s not inconceivable that a vast majority of those were killed by the “standard of care” treatment given (i.e., remdesivir and ventilation, and the withholding of food and fluids)."

I'm old enough to see the medical system go through huge changes, which are scary to me.
I can recall people bought health insurance to prevent a problem with a large medical bill; these were not paid for by the government.
Hospitals were not legally obligated to cure people who could not pay.
I recall a girlfriend who told me her father worked a long time to pay off a medical bill from a hospital decades ago.
Doctors were not always rich although some were.
A doctor could often have a private practice, like dentists still do today. Dentists don't have to fuck around with a ton of insurance billing rules, and you don't get treated if you run in there "I have a toothache!"
I was talking to my father's cardiologist who told me that he was a disappearing breed; he was able to continue but most doctors today end up being highly paid employees of a medical group or hospital.
My friend's daughter is in her late 30's and works for some medical company as regional sales something; she and her friends who are in hospital administration are making more money than many doctors. Her husband is an RN who is in charge of a cardiac intervention imaging in some hospital, or something like this. He's paid a ton of dough and he's just an RN.
Assholes are censoring doctors and people who think for themselves; it's absurd that some Indian or Chinese guy on a H1B visa at Google or Facebook is deciding if the USA medically trained doctor is able to give an opinion or not.
If they had told the public that the new technology RNA "vaccine" was actually a form of gene therapy, would everyone had taken it?
I feel sorry for doctors today; but not too sorry because they still make good dough.
A guy removed a piece of my skin on my forearm, looked at the cells under the microscope to be sure all the skin cancer was removed (Mohs Surgery) and sewed me back up; this process took about an hour while his actual sewing and scalpel work was 5 minutes. The dermotology group billed my insurance thousands of dollars for this.
In his defense, he was eminintely qualified and experienced in this work.

Many of the reports of people trying to pry their relatives from hospitals away from the death protocols seem to indicate that they CANNOT fire the doctors for some reason. The doctors hold onto them as death bounties. Pretty ghoulish.

Some who get their relatives out and on the ivermectin and alternatives manage to save their lives.

My BIL who had a lobectomy for lung cancer (inveterate long time chain smoker) has now survived two hospitalizations, once with intubation, with respirators and Remdesivir. He is a druggie and general mental basket case, but I thought he must be pretty tough to go through all that medical mayhem and live. He keeps smoking with his remaining lobes.

I have a 60 year old brother who could work if he had to but was able to get on SSDI. No medical bills for him and I'd bet he's recieved 100s of thousands of dollars in free medical care.

Corporations and trade associations run America.

Mercola is solid. I've been taking his Vitamin C for years, and even had my dog on some of his canine supplements when he wasn't doing well a few years back.
