<\/picture>Today, while giving a speech on the South Lawn of the White House touting his signing of a $200 billion semiconductor chips legislation, President Joe Biden \u201ccould barely utter one sentence without stopping to cough for minutes on end.<\/a>\u201d<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nPresident Biden, said by his doctor to be a \u201chealthy, vigorous<\/a>\u201d seventy-nine-year-old man, finally left White House quarantine yesterday for Delaware, declared free of the covid-19 virus and re-joining his wife after a\u00a0nightmarish 19-day covid ordeal<\/a>. But today, while giving a speech on the White House South Lawn, he couldn\u2019t stop coughing for minutes at a time, though his doctors declared him this morning free of the virus. Don\u2019t say I didn\u2019t warn you: You are about to enter Clown World.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nCoughing, fatigue, a sore throat, runny nose, and body aches dogged the president after his July 21 positive covid test. He was given Paxlovid, the absurdly flawed but highly profitable Pfizer drug approved by his administration for treatment of mild covid cases. Biden was reported cleared of the virus, then suffered a rebound infection July 30 known, along with many perilous drug interactions, to be associated with Paxlovid.\u00a0Dr. Robert Malone<\/a>\u00a0and other scientists speculated that in fact the virus never left the president\u2019s body but kept dangerously mutating, \u201ctruly the worst case scenario for a single mechanism of action drug used as a therapy against COVID-19.\u201d Dangerous for us all.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nMeanwhile, one of my good friends, an eighty-four-year-old man with heart disease and diabetes, came down with covid last week. He took a .4 mg\/kg dose of ivermectin according to the world-renowned\u00a0FLCCC.net covid treatment protocol<\/a>, and was completely free of symptoms in two hours. His wife took the recommended prevention dose of .2 mg\/kg and never got sick. To protect others, my friend stayed home for a few symptom-free days (still enjoying the company of his wife, unlike Joe), then happily walked four miles in the heat with friends yesterday. Yes, Clown World means in all likelihood you and your friends are better covid doctors than the president\u2019s doctor.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u201cClown World\u201d is the phrase for our altered reality, coined by FLCCC.net president and covid treatment pioneer Dr. Pierre Kory. The truly unfunny thing about Clown World is the predictable, grotesque collapse of medical competency when brilliant doctors surrender decades of healing knowledge and intuition about disease and about you to dumbed-down one-size-fits-all government-big pharma rules. In this essay, Dr. Kory looks into his crystal ball to see what Paxlovid and Clown World mean for Democrats and the historic importance of the coming Make-Doctors-Great-Again elections for the survival of a freedom-loving America\u2014and the survival of doctors.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nRemember the doctor? Historically the most respected figure in town, he and she (most doctors are now shes), are today muzzled by government and tragically feared by many. Yet our doctors are unforgettable as the compassionate, knowledgable, independent-minded professionals willing to safely and ethically try anything within their knowledge of medicine\u2014and their knowledge of you\u2014to protect you and your family from disease and death. If we lose that, we lose everything. We need our doctors back.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>~ MC<\/strong><\/p>\nA recent\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\/Siena College poll\u00a0showing<\/a>\u00a064 percent of Democrats preferring a new standard-bearer in 2024 rocked the White House and the political landscape, but it should not have come as a big surprise. After all, President Joe Biden continues to fall short of the promises that drew many Democrats, including myself, to his candidacy in 2020: his pledge for a new strategy combatting covid-19.<\/p>\nConsider the Food and Drug Administration\u2019s recent decision\u00a0allowing pharmacists<\/a>\u00a0to play doctor and prescribe Pfizer\u2019s anti-viral treatment Paxlovid, which Biden himself, having contracted covid-19, is now taking. The agency claims this is meant to increase access to the medicine, which must be taken as soon as symptoms arise. But the drug\u2019s\u00a0fact sheet<\/a>\u00a0is a tangled web of restrictions that will make it impractical for most pharmacies to take the risk. Why is the FDA encouraging this?<\/p>\nThe answer is plain to anyone who has been following the plight of independent doctors during the pandemic. Our public health agencies\u2014heavily influenced by the pharmaceutical industry and beholden to Biden\u2019s \u201cvaccine first\u201d approach\u2014are committed to diminishing the medical profession and centralizing authority with bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. They have prosecuted a relentless campaign to reduce physicians to cogs in a health care system that is aggressively transforming all medical professionals from providers to prescribers.<\/p>\n
The problems with Paxlovid are no secret. FDA granted Pfizer emergency use authorization for the drug after a single trial with questionable results. The medicine has many contraindications, meaning it can\u2019t be taken by someone who simultaneously would be taking certain anti-depressants, anti-seizure, anti-psychotic, cholesterol, or blood pressure medications. Furthermore, many Americans cannot take Paxlovid, given that nearly half of adults have\u00a0cardiovascular disease<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe risks are plain to see in FDA\u2019s guidance, which recommends referring the patient to a doctor if \u201csufficient information is not available to assess renal and hepatic function\u201d or \u201cpotential drug interactions.\u201d Numerous contraindications are listed, and caution is advised throughout. The burden is on the patient to furnish medical records to prove that he or she doesn\u2019t have any significant kidney or liver disease, drug sensitivities, or other medications that could cause serious adverse events.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, pharmacies have spent months and millions of dollars lobbying for the right to\u00a0play doctor<\/a>\u00a0and prescribe Paxlovid. The economic motives of such a move are clearly in their favor, as, unlike doctors, they profit directly from dispensing drugs. It\u2019s no surprise the National Community Pharmacists Association celebrated the win as a\u00a0\u201ccourse correction<\/a>.\u201d Its CEO said, \u201cPharmacists are the drug therapy and drug interaction experts. This move opening up their ability to assess the need for and prescribe Paxlovid will improve patients\u2019 timely access to treatments that will help keep them out of the hospital and alive.\u201d<\/p>\nThis may be as absurd a statement by a health organization as I have heard in the pandemic. No pharmacist could ever safely dispense a novel medicine with an unprecedented amount of drug interactions without in-depth knowledge of the severity of the patient\u2019s medical problems or the critical necessity of each of their other medicines. This fact was not lost on the American Medical Association, which temporarily snapped out of its woke-activist-induced coma to offer qualified criticism.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the majority of COVID-19 positive patients will benefit from Paxlovid, it is not for everyone, and prescribing it requires knowledge of a patient\u2019s medical history, as well as clinical monitoring for side effects and follow-up care to determine whether a patient is improving\u2014requirements far beyond a pharmacist\u2019s scope and training,\u201d American Medical Association President Jack Resneck Jr. said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The tell is right there, though. The AMA is fine with Paxlovid as long as physicians are doing the prescribing. Ceding authority is the problem, which is why the agency previously called the idea \u201cdangerous in practice and precedent<\/a>\u201d when the Biden administration first proposed it in the\u00a0Test to Treat<\/a>\u00a0initiative.<\/p>\nCovid cases and deaths are down massively from their last peak in January. Most states have lifted restrictions and returned to normal. Yet just days after the FDA made this announcement, the Biden administration again extended\u00a0the covid public health emergency\u2014because the president can\u2019t lose the specter of covid as a political tool.<\/p>\n
Vaccination rates have\u00a0leveled off<\/a>, and Paxlovid sales\u00a0bottomed out<\/a>\u00a0in April due to a combination of supply problems and sinking demand. Pfizer pushed expectations for the drug sky high, and now it needs to deliver on that promise. The FDA\u2019s move shows how\u00a0deftly the company has used the pandemic to influence government and public health agencies to serve its shareholders.<\/p>\nThe pharmaceutical industry, led by Pfizer and in league with the Biden administration, is waging war against independent doctors who refuse to cede control over patient well-being\u2014and they are winning. If there is any hope for change, it will come in November.<\/p>\n
The red wave forming off our political shores\u00a0<\/strong>is a culmination of many factors. Inflation and gas prices are hitting all-time highs, and just 13 percent of Americans believe the country is heading in the right direction. But relying on scare tactics to distract voters back to Biden is a strategy not supported by medical conditions on the ground.<\/p>\nLet\u2019s hope whoever rides into Washington on that red wave will take on this fight with integrity.<\/p>\n
