Wow - a Doctor that still believes in Ethics, Hippocratic Oath and Informed Consent! This guy is needle-in-haystack rare. Next he’s gonna say “regenerate our soils, promote family farms, kids should play outside in the sun & dirt”. Quick, someone delicense him before he helps anyone get healthy!

Yes, I will endorse all those recommendations: “regenerate our soils, promote family farms, kids should play outside in the sun & dirt”!

I'm a huge fan of the Hippocratic Oath, I do hope it catches on...

The Hippocratic Oath is kinda passé nowadays. It's considered a relic of past times, less than 15% take it. But they let us think they all do. To pacify us, keep us trusting them. A useful lie of omission. Happy that we make the assumption they take it.

Culture of death: the assault on medical ethics in America

Wesley A Smith, 2000

https://archive.org/details/cultureofdeath00wesl

Smith's Follow up book:

Culture of Death, The Age of "Do Harm" Medicine

Discovery Institute, 2016

https://www.discovery.org/b/culture-of-death/

"Smith warns that future troubles could be tied to the fact that only 14% of doctors today report having taken the Hippocratic oath to “do no harm.” Smith even recounts episodes of doctors recommending that the old or sick be denied basic treatments which might potentially save life. This enlightening book unmasks unexpected occurrences in the present practice of medicine, and shines light into a future that many of us might not like."

This book describes the complicity of the medical profession in the greatest crime against humanity the world has ever known...up to now:

Useless Eaters: Disability as Genocidal Marker in Nazi Germany

The Journal of Special Education/Catholic Culture, 2002

https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?recnum=7019

"Complicity of the Medical Professions

It is important to note that the enactment of prejudice against people with disabilities in Nazi Germany could not have succeeded without the complicity of the medical and adjunct professions. Power over life and death was placed firmly in the hands of physicians who became white-coated executioners, having long abandoned the "do no harm" clause of the Hippocratic Oath. Currently, there is evidence of the medical community's again being willing agents in hastening the deaths of people deemed not viable, including people with disabilities, through familiar methods for ending the lives of terminally ill people, such as starvation and death by thirst. Furthermore, there is evidence that "do no harm" is now viewed as a somewhat quaint throwback to a distant, less sophisticated era. For example, many physicians no longer take the Hippocratic Oath before beginning their careers, and many standard hospital treatment protocols now stipulate that staff physicians may override next-of-kin requests for patient treatment if the physician decides that treatment will likely be ineffective (Smith, 2000). Once again, patients, including those with disabilities who are terminally ill, now bear the responsibility of justifying their existence and their need for treatment. This being the case, and with the clear understanding that not all physicians put the greater good ahead of their individual patients, there should at least be some debate about what this means for people with disabilities, many of whom rely extensively on the assumption that their physicians have their best individual treatment interests at heart and will treat them regardless of utilitarian arguments to the contrary."

What's old is new again. If history doesn't repeat then it often rhymes. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Any other appropriate clichés?

So inspiring & courageous - thank you. I refused the vax but remain traumatized to this day by all that was done to us. I agree that many if not most in the population who eagerly acquiesced to all of it & became howling mobs against those who refused masking / distancing / jabbing cannot face their stupidity & cruelty to family, friends, coworkers & total strangers, not to mention what they’ve done to themselves or their parents or children. Others cannot face the betrayal of trust in those they believed had their best interests at heart (government, healthcare providers, “public health” entities & federal agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

Outstanding response Cindi! I could not agree more. Nor could I be more repulsed by so many who lied to us and caused such fear in America AND therefore surely in the entire free world.

“It takes a rare person of extraordinary courage to be able to admit that they were wrong on something like that,” But they were deceived and got it wrong as a result of government disinformation and censorship! People should stop blaming their family members and talk with them about the real culprit. There was a slogan spread at the time "misinformation kills". Isn't it time to realize that censorship kills? It will be too late in 10-20 years if free speech is destroyed.

Hopefully a lot of the people who did this to us will be out of power by Jan. 20!

Damn federal Govt shut us down. For a full year. 30 year family business.. Almost lost everything, including our dream home. I went from being a “disadvantaged, inter-city youth” to a Stockbroker, after barely graduating from High School. During our kids early years we recd the support of food stamps. Then a proud co-owner with my fantastic hubby, of our own business. No weekends off, no vacations, no cabin or fishing trips.. Then BOOM.. To save our necks the SBA required a full lien on all we own & may acquire.. For 30 years!! We are 64… So they’ll take everything we could have left for our kids… Govt took $1 million in annual revenues, for $900,000 in debt… We are trying our best to pay this off earlier, but that will most likely not happen, before our deaths. That’s the master plan.. Crush all self-sufficient business owners, then seize all their assets. It’s already starting. So many people borrowed the max of $2 million, for EIDL loans. $10,000 a month payments are now going into default… Asset seizures are beginning.. Soon only 2 classes. Mega, filthy rich & poor desperate worker bees… I cannot believe how many people fell for this BULLSHIT!!

Yes, those who behaved cowardly which was most will refuse accountability. I see it in comments on other sites, the excuses, the admonishment not to assign blame, of course because they don't want to feel guilty, and they should feel guilty. Guilt has a purpose. What a life lesson on the fact that the courageous are fewer in number. What does that say about the people we interact with, have friendships with, are married to? I do take into account the early propaganda, and its influence. The media continues with it today. We have to find ways to break up the conflicts of interest that are driving media propaganda, because if mainstream media told the facts, the majority would take it on board.

So much death, injury, and destruction of our rights and way of life and those responsible get off scott-free? I am sickened to my core by the madness of it all. Dr. Kheriaty, you and others deserve so much more.

yes propaganda really did take a big leap forward with the fake covid. Almost to a person everyone who saw through the lies of covid is veering right, has been fooled by industry funded climate denial or are more nationalist, anti immigration and pro-zionist than before.

As a medical ethicist what do you think about the practice of "Nonconsensual Intimate Examinations" as standard medical school training, even in the 'best' medical schools in the nation?:

Massachusetts 2023 H.2146 / S.1333

An Act prohibiting nonconsensual intimate examinations of anesthetized or unconscious patients

Committee on Public Health, 9/20/2023

https://malegislature.gov/Events/Hearings/Detail/4682

(Timestamp Begin 03:24:40 - 03:34:30 End)

The "ethical" framing of "Sexual Assault?" For a greater good. Utilitarian ethics?

Note: Despite the support for the bill voiced in the committee hearing by every single legislator, the bill failed to pass the session. Still legal in Massachusetts and most states for doctors to sexually assault...errr...."nonconsensually intimately examine anesthetized or unconscious patients."

Is this how Dr. Larry Nassar got the idea he could sexually assault all of those Olympic athletes without repercussions in the first place?:

https://www.npr.org/2024/07/20/nx-s1-5042289/years-after-the-larry-nassar-scandal-are-olympic-athletes-safe-from-abuse

And is this type of utilitarian ethics - as taught in medical schools - how doctors get it in their heads that they can forcibly mask, inject and quarantine people *suspected* of having a 99.998% survivable infection - to protect the .002% (a rounding error) of the population? Seems to be the same "ethical" mindset that permeates the medical profession.

Which I rather suspect answers this question poses about the past. Relevant as we see the same time of utilitarian medical ethics, censorship and propaganda taking hold of the US and western nations today:

Why did so many German doctors join the Nazi Party early?

International Journal of Law and Psychiatry, October 3, 2012

https://sci-hub.se/http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijlp.2012.09.022,

"During the Weimar Republic in the mid-twentieth century, more than half of all German physicians became early joiners of the Nazi Party, surpassing the party enrollments of all other professions. From early on, the German Medical Society played the most instrumental role in the Nazi medical program, beginning with the marginalization of Jewish physicians, proceeding to coerced “experimentation,” “euthanization,” and sterilization, and culminating in genocide via the medicalization of mass murder of Jews and others caricatured and demonized by Nazi ideology. Given the medical oath to “do no harm,” many postwar ethical analyses have strained to make sense of these seemingly paradoxical atrocities. Why did physicians act in such a manner? Yet few have tried to explain the self-selected Nazi enrollment of such an overwhelming proportion of the German Medical Society in the first place."
