The Medical-Pharmaceutical Killing Machine: Facing Facts Could Save Your Life

I may be old and slowing down a little, but I can still do some things that millennials and Generation Z cannot do. I can back up and look at the big picture from the perspective of perΒsonal experience and observation. I can see the major trends in American health over the last six decades. Iβve seen the advances in medical techΒnology, surgical skill and countless new drugs and vaccines. If this is all it is usually cracked up to be, one would think Americans would be the picture of health, routinely living over one hundred years, able to see through walls and leap tall buildings. OK, maybe not. Not only has there been no discernible improvement, the opposite is true and dramatically so.
As Eisenhower warned us about the military-industrial complex, Childrenβs Health Defense (CHD) warns us about the Medical- Pharmaceutical-Industrial complex, showing that death by medicine is far more common in the U.S. than many people realize. Letβs race through just a few of the bookβs highlights.
According to JAMA, almost one out of four hospitalized adults is given an incorrect diagnosis that lands them in intensive care or the morgue. Polypharmacy (people on multiple drugs) significantly increases the risk of adverse events, including death. No matter, polypharΒmacy tripled between 1988 and 2010. A 2016 US News & World Report story confirmed that prescription drugs are the fourth leading cause of death. Meanwhile, multiple data sources show a sharp dive in American life expectancy.
When the Department of Defense led OpΒeration Warp Speed, we saw medical matters openly fall under the purview of the military. With two very dangerous βindustrial comΒplexesβ working together, what could possibly go wrong? Well, the Johnson & Johnson version of the shots has been recalled and AstraZeneca pulled its version off the market. Meanwhile, the Pfizer and Moderna products remain despite Pfizerβs own data emphatically showing that their version is not safe and effective. Pfizer is one of the most penalized pharmaceutical firms in the world, but their products continue to be heavily promoted. Mike Yeadon used to work for Pfizer and knows how it works. He has written extensively about the Covid scam; one of his points is that the extreme variability of vaccine batches cannot possibly be an accident.
My favorite Michael Crichton quote appears in this book: βHistorically, the claim of conΒsensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. . . . Letβs be clear; the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. . . . There is no such thing as consensus science. If itβs consensus, it isnβt science. If itβs science, it isnβt consensus. Period.β However, if you donβt conform to consensus, you are a βconspiracy theorist,β βanti-vaxxerβ or βvirus-denierββwords that stop all critical thinking in its tracks. Until terms like these are tossed into the dustbin of history, we have little hope of anything better than the status quo.
Elsewhere in Killing Machine, you can read about how euthanasia is growing in popularity. If you are having a bad day and want to hit the βoffβ switch, your good friends in the medical community are increasingly ready and eager to help you out with thatβfor a modest fee.
It sounds like Iβm suggesting a certain inΒtentionality behind death by medicine, but it is a stretch to believe that any one of these things is an accident. All this and much more laid out in the book cannot be just examples of bungling and incompetence. The powerful medical indusΒtry has been weaponized against us. Iβm seeing more and more books and popular podcasters exposing this problem. The last line of the book is the best (spoiler alert): β[A]nything is possible when you leave hopelessness behind.β Do not comply. My thumb is UP.
