The very IDEA of a “government doctor” is creepy in the extreme. Americans — starting with then-President Trump — never should have fallen for such a thing, way back in March 2020. A doctor, by definition, is devoted to two things: (1) the well-being of his patient; and (2) the honest interpretation of scientific knowledge. The moment you introduce government into the equation, you have (at best) diluted medical integrity and (at worst) destroyed it. This is true whether we’re talking about your own personal family doctor or a doctor headquartered in the Nation’s imperial city making billions and billions of dollars off of the very pandemic he has helped to orchestrate.

There’s a reason why Nazi Germany gave us Josef Mengele. It’s not a bizarre or unfortunate accident. When you merge government and medicine, you get catastrophe. It’s impossible to calculate the disasters created for small, politically unconnected businesses shut down in 2020-2021 and the thousands (or more) dying of mysterious causes in their sleep since the imposition via media and government of an untested, alleged vaccine in 2021 and 2022.

Yet here we are. America should never have fallen for it. Not only did most of America do so; most of America seems unaware that it did so. That’s really, really dangerous. As is the fact that our country’s own Josef Mengele lounges in retirement and billions that his connected bosses in Beijing, and elsewhere, got him for doing God-only-knows-what. Put simply: If you let sociopaths get away with murder, just imagine what they (and their kind, waiting in line), will do to us next.

None of it was ever necessary. Yet our lack of courage, independence and critical, objective thinking got us here. The presence of those virtues — if ever again activated — would wipe out the Faucis of the world in an instant, and protect us all from ever being victims again. If only.
