Dr. Ladapo has it correct. No medical mandates or interferences at all. Zero. It's not enough to end this Evilness in pediatric offices, it needs to include, no coercing of anyone, including our military, our transplant recipients, elders, medical workers, Anyone! Coercing needs to be clearly spelled out to these Doers of Coercing - make it ILLEGAL.
If parents were wise, they would avoid pediatricians completely & seek medical care from family practitioners in private practice & who are not part of a corporate medical enterprise. There are fewer & fewer of such doctors, but it would be worth seeking them out.
And the more they are sought out, perhaps the more will go into family practice instead of pediatrics. "Family Practicitioner" used to be known as "General Practictitioner". The labels have changed, but the focus, ever more specializaton, has taken over, too.
Doesn’t it seem throughout history, populations, many times, were separated by their race and or religion. People have had to fight for their individual freedoms and liberties since the beginning of time. Psychologically these people or groups of people are put through overwhelming pressures to allow their individual rights to be trampled on. Like so many traits in families or in these groups they generationally get passed down and become normal in life.
I was speaking to my wife this morning about the times she had to take the Covid shots and was crying because she didn’t want to take it but her jobs biggest benefit is our healthcare, and if she didn’t allow them to inject her with experimental chemicals she would have been fired and we would have lost our healthcare. What a horrible position these nurses and healthcare families were put in. What right did they have to hold that over her head. We should fight tooth and nail to never allow the government to force experimental chemicals into the arms of anyone, especially a baby against the will of the parent!
I have to say the first amendment and the freedom of religion was mainly put into the constitution because the Bible is full of stories showing slavery forced on groups of people because of their religion. There is a strong motive for tyrants to eliminate faith and hope in people. This I believe is why the democrats closed churches down quickly when their covid virus was spread. Funny how churches were closed but liquor stores and strip joints were allowed to stay open. 🤔
This policy of insisting on a covid "vaccination" for healthcare workers is still being enforced, even though the harms & dangers are well known. Though I am a retired nurse, I keep an active license. As a result, I receive recruitment information. Very recently, I received a post card recruiting RNs for a new hospital in our area. Right on the front of the postcard is the following: "Proof of Covid-19 Vaccination Required". In other words, unless & until you can prove that you have been poisoned, you will not be considered for employment. Considering how the majority of our nation's hospitals treated patients with covid, with Remdesivir/Midazolam/Ventilators, I guess it should not surprise me that they have such little regard for their employees. Their policies, whether they are directed at their patients or their employees, are obviously meant to undermine the health of these populations, which leads me to believe that there is much more to this nefarious picture than the average person knows or understands.
Your 100% correct Debra. My wife works for a major Boston Hospital. All of the hospitals had stopped injecting the nurses at 3 shots. My wife’s hospital forced a fourth shot. She applied for a religious exemption and got it. They definitely relaxed their mandate because there were only one or two nurses in the OR that got an exemption before. One of the surgeons, I renovated much of his house, took the second shot got two blood clots in his lung and they went into his brain and he had a cerebral stroke pretty much ending his career as a surgeon. Covid has again swept through the OR’s and these brainwashed nurses have taken a 5th shot!!! It’s completely unbelievable to me. Many of these nurses have complained how sick they are and that the Covid is not going away, but they keep getting the injections.
That was a terrible decision your wife was forced to make, James. I pray all these medical mandates will be permanently removed. That was another example of trashing the gift of free will given to each of us by our Creator. What God has granted, no man or government has the right to put asunder.
Yes Stephan, 36 people were killed, billions of dollars I properties destroyed, and not one person charged with murder, amazing. I remember Merrick Garland say they couldn’t find the guy that placed the bombs at the democrat and republican offices in DC. On January 6th because he did it at night in the dark, what a moronic thing to say! But that’s who was running the show then. Bongino made such a big deal about those bombs left there on January 6th, I’m shocked he didn’t pursue the guy or kid that left them. They know who he is!!
I just couldn’t believe it! Families weren’t allowed to get together for the holidays, churches, synagogues, gyms & many small businesses shut down and closed!! And then you watch these crowds of rioters throughout the Country! “Fighting against systemic racism protected you from Covid!” 😂
Does anyone remember the movie “Soylent Green”? Old people were required to volunteer to be euthanized while watching a movie of the beauty of nature long gone because of over population and environmental degradation. 1973 movie. So our ethical tensions are nothing new! But back then not as many doctors were just clerks for managed care companies.
In NY, we had Hochul fire health care workers and bring in the national guard. No one called HER a tyrant...
"Governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order late Monday night [Oct '21] to alleviate potential staffing shortages in hospitals and other health care facilities statewide. The executive order significantly expands the eligible health care workforce and allows additional health care workers to administer COVID-19 testing and vaccinations. “The only way we can move past this pandemic is to ensure that everyone eligible is vaccinated, and that includes those who are taking care of our vulnerable family members and loved ones,” Governor Hochul said."
What you describe as public health is greatly opposed to what I experienced in the 60s. Actually public health was designed to protect the population (collective?) from infectious diseases mainly by identifying the agent and providing assistance in its eradication. There was not much interaction between public health and docs. Something very nasty has happened, particularly to c.d.c. which has been terminally infected with marxist cant
In this comment, I want to bring attention to a serious matter that I believe has been caused by COVID "mismanagement" (I'm being generous with the term mismanagement). I am reporting this from my perspective as a health insurance broker in Minnesota. Many of you may be aware of news reports of a very high uptick in medical claims experience. I and others believe the largest reason for this is continued adverse effects from the COVID jabs.
For instance, United Health Care reported twice the claims experience than they were expecting in the first three months of this year for their Medicare Advantage plans. How could they get it that wrong? Similar reports are coming from Aetna, CVS Health, etc. In Minnesota, our own UCare is close to state receivership (essentially bankruptcy) and is no longer offering MA-PD plans. And it's not just the Medicare market. We're seeing double digit premium increases and the "dismantling" of plans in the individual/family, small group and large group markets, so this is occurring across all demographics. I talked to Daniel O'Connor of TrialSite news about this, and it prompted TrialSite to run an article on the situation in Minnesota.
Since that article was published, us brokers are now being informed that Health Partners of Minnesota is withdrawing Medicare Advantage plans in many counties (outstate), that Medica of MN will not pay commissions on any MA plans in outstate MN when someone is moving from another plan to theirs. Similarly, Blue Cross of MN just announced that they will not pay any commissions -- in any county -- for someone moving from another carrier to them. I also write in Illinois, and Blue Cross of IL recently announced that they will no longer pay commissions for almost all of their Medicare Advantage plans.
I believe what we're seeing here is the proverbial canary in a coal mine. It is definitely an existential financial threat to the broker community. I may have to look for a different profession if this keeps up, and I'm already looking at a significant drop in income for 2026. If health insurance carriers feel they can't pay commissions to their valued (according the them) agents and brokers, then you know there is serious turmoil and financial threat going on. I think it's interesting and telling that we hear very little about this in the mainstream media, and they are certainly NOT suggesting that the COVID shots might be contributing to the huge increase in claims being experienced by health insurance carriers across the nation.
You bet. Take a look at the report from One America Life Insurance company of Indianapolis, IN released about one year into the Covid jab rollout about a huge increase in deaths in the 18 through 64 age group (they do group life insurance). The CEO stated that this was being seen by other major carriers, also, and that it wasn't due to COVID (but he didn't speculate on the jab potential).
From the dramatic increases in premiums across the board (private individual, as well as small and large group), I believe we can ascertain with a reasonable degree of certainty that claims experience is way up -- it's not just medical cost trend. So yes, not just Medicare. UHC has specifically talked about their uptick in claims (twice what was expected for 1st quarter 2025). The other carriers that I work with are using double speak ("unprecedented financial pressure" in the case of UCare), although in a couple of Wall Street Journal articles, it was specifically stated that claims experience was skyrocketing for other Medicare Advantage plan carriers, and that their stocks were down. However, other than UHC's statement and the Journal article on some of the other Medicare players, I have no receipts regarding claims. And mainstream media simply will not investigate.
Anecdotally, a new client of mine works as a nursing assistant at Lakeview Hospital here in Stillwater. He says the hospital is full and ICU patients are overflowing into the hallways. Ambulance sirens seem much more prevalent. My client also believes it's the Jab.
As far as a breakdown of diagnoses, that would be great; but why do I have a feeling that the hospitals, clinical care systems and insurance companies will not want to release them? All these entities were very complicit in the Covid jabs rollout, and any honest data will not put them in a good light. Perhaps Dr. Malone might have some ideas on how the CDC can get ahold of this data and release it. Even if we didn't take the jabs (thank God I didn't), we are all going to suffer.
I’m honored to be referred to as the “close colleague.“ :)
Here is an updated version of what you quoted. And this brings up an existential issue for ACIP. Until they decide whether or not their mission is for individual health or public health, they have no business continuing to meet.
—-
ACIP makes decisions prioritizing health, yet their recommendations, after they’re adopted by the CDC, become guidance for physicians who — by oath and ethics — must treat the patient in front of them. It’s a conflict of interest for MDs to prioritize public health yet that’s where their guidance originates.
So the fundamental question about ACIP is whether or not they are creating de facto guidance for physicians, in which case they should only be weighing the risks and the benefits on an individual patient basis. If they are practicing public health, their guidance must be separated by law from physician standard of care and never be used as the basis for mandates.
Mandates cannot fundamentally exist if vaccines can only be recommended for an individual’s health.
ACIP cannot be Serving both individual health and a public health goal. As Dr. Malone pointed out on X yesterday, public health and individual health are fundamentally in conflict.
I know for certain that the decision for the Hepatitis B birth dose and the chickenpox vaccine were made on purely public health grounds. I’m sure there are others that should be disqualified from the children’s schedule.
Finally, if anyone at ACIP is to argue public health, they need to prove that their pipe dream of eradication or elimination can be accomplished with near-Universal vaccination. And calculate the cost-benefit in terms of all of the permanent injuries, disabilities, and deaths that will be used as a sacrifice to achieve this fantasy of eradication or elimination of an infection.
Bodies have differences. Also individuals and doctors understand and interpret data differently, to our benefit. I have two problems with Public Health/Government control: I have a PhD in biochemistry and have “taught” doctors and nurses. They all have certain abilities and intuitive body understandings. But nobody including myself should control big policies that cover large populations. Usually they are using generalities and perhaps ego driven goals. No never. We are much better off using the bottom up methodology.
My son and his wife had twins in early August. They refused the Hep B vaccine. The pediatrician wants them to come back at 2 months for their "shots". There is no honest discussion of which, if any should be taken. It is a blanket statement to take the vaccines. In my area their is at least on big group whose website says we expect all patients to take vaccines. It is very hard for a parent whose background is not in science. Parents have been lied to for too long. Thanks Dr. Malone for being part of the enlightenment.
When I was a child parents did not go to pediatricians. The GP came to the house if the child became ill, and there was never a discussion on vaccines.
Yes. I had polio at age 2 in 1949. My mother asked our family doc, who made house calls, if she could keep me at home and nurse me rather than isolate me in a hospital. He agreed. I recovered. There has been a huge uncovering of controversy about the real cause of polio.
That is great you recovered. I have a relative now deceased who contracted polio at 16, unfortunately it caused paralysis. I know another woman who like you recovered.
Your son and daughter in law might find Dr. Paul Thomas' new book beneficial called "Vax Facts."
Dr. Paul (Pediatrician) lost his license for COURAGEOUSLY, SACRIFICIALLY providing informed consent to the parents of his patients and allowing the parents to choose for their child to get zero vaccinations, delayed schedule vaccinations or follow the CDC'S Childhood Vaccine Schedule.
I can't help but think a lot of the problem is that so many doctors are in group practices. My own ND was part of a large practice for a little over a year, after which she bailed and went into private practice--again. And of course, as a Naturopath, she's definitely not keen on vaccines, and this caused her all kinds of headaches with the group practice. She's happy for the experience but even happier to be able to make her own decisions in her own practice. As someone who stopped vaccinating decades ago, I breathed a sign of relief and was more than willing to pay privately if her practice couldn't accept insurance coverage. (P.S. It took over a year for that to happen.)
This unethical practice of a doctor refusing to treat a child, because of the parent not wanting a specic treatment...is as we all know based on the bonus doctors receive, when every child in the practice has received the vaccine. This is totally unethical...and all connected to it should be heavily fined and warned...stop or you will lose your license to practice medicine.
Thank you for clearly stating it’s about the collective vs individual rights. The collective idea has merit but requires perfection in predicting the outcome. No decision is ever without a tradeoff and predicting/ensuring the results claimed/intended too often not only fail to deliver but too often produce greater harm than doing nothing. The absurdity of centralized government dictates has led to restricting Americans from obtaining pharmaceutical alternatives that are easily obtainable in Mexico especially for those close to the border, turning Americans into criminals. My doctor works for a very large company and can make no decisions contrary to their strict adherence to government policies even if he thinks it would be a benefit, and has used it successfully in the past. I’m sick of this nanny state bullshit. They’re nothing but an organized criminal enterprise serving themselves at our expense.
It's becoming more apparent that doctors working for large medical groups are constrained by the business model which commits to guidelines driving lower costs and limited treatment options. Doctors are not allowed to use their training and diagnostic capabilities, as the large medical groups have sold their souls for volume cost benefits without any regard to the appropriate patient treatment directed by the skill of the physicians.
As I approach my 83rd birthday Canada’s MAID policy becomes more and more evil. Thank God I live in Florida. Thank you Doctor Malone for this clear and straight forward presentation of the issues.
Today the news reported that Canada’s government is ending home delivery of mail, which has caused mail carriers to commence some kind of strike. Is there something in the water up north causing these insanities?
“This is a great example of physicians upholding the rights of the collective over their individual patients.” —- most visits are vaccine visits, not wellness visits.
Public health is a flawed concept on its face because it includes the false assumption that we are all alike in our biological, chemical, electrical and psychological being, and that only one standard of care is best for all. Treating a specific person based upon the averaged success of certain cases may not be the best choice for that particular person.
We live in a country based upon freedom and liberty for all, and that concept emphasizes our devotion to each person and their specific worth. We are not, and will never be, a communist society where the collective is awarded greater importance than the individual. When our medical system directs its energy towards individual health, it will be producing a healthier society for all of us. It would be wonderful if the newly structured ACIP, could actually be used as an advisory committee to redirect all physicians to the values of individual healing. Such a revival is truly needed.
It was never for the good of the collective anyway. It was all about $$$$. The system is corrupt. Too many self-interested bad doers. Individual choice. Always!
Public Health might do better to focus on establishing the parameters that govern the incidence of the various maladies rather than pushing trendy treatments that appear to be of use only to those with a myopic focus on the potential and generally speculative benefits of poorly tested therapies that are advocated by the developers of those therapies. An informed market will make better decisions in aggregate than the utopian dreams of designated experts.
I begin advising that I am beyond 100% committed to my freedom and sovereignty. I oppose any obligation trying to be imposed on me, that I disagree with. My Doctor labels me as uncooperative and broadcasts that label with any referral.
Now on to the issue of the Public Health approach vs. personalized care. I don't think we can count on a majority of physicians dedicated to providing individualized care per se. I believe a significant portion of our medical community, beyond personal sentimates, have been forced into a public health mode. The med school training, particularly in recent times, focused on social justice. Medical insurers focus on standard of care. State Medical Boards focus on standards of care. Employers focus on volume and no issues. All told pointing to public health style incentives.
Public Health. I agree looks to effectively deliver all benefits to the collective. I do question whether Public Health gives a damn about the collective or individual patients happiness. Patients are a source of income. The patients need to be dealt with in terms of standard of practice and generally satisfied by the service they recieve. The employer must be satisfied.receive. also note that we now have a substantial number of foreign doctors coming from socialist countries (more likely to have public health perspectives). Which is to suggest to achieve a US approach, we may have to come up with getting these persons to modify their views.
Traditional medical practice. It is ever so heartening to know there are some left. Thank heavens for the IMA! One suspects traditional practitioners will carry on regardless. That, at least absent another insane pandemic response with all the evils you note, they will advocate for traditional practice. I hope the changes (in incentives +) as needed to support their styles of practice are accomplished.
So to sum it up - I believe in and hope for an amicable right to make my own decisions as long as they will not harm others. This is getting harder to realise. I didnt pick up my mail for 5 days and the postwoman ordered a house check with police, fire and ambulance. I ask a neighbor who was calling to get them to go away. They are so quick to get their clutches on you.
This is initial thoughts. Would be happy to consider further if wanted.
Dr. Ladapo has it correct. No medical mandates or interferences at all. Zero. It's not enough to end this Evilness in pediatric offices, it needs to include, no coercing of anyone, including our military, our transplant recipients, elders, medical workers, Anyone! Coercing needs to be clearly spelled out to these Doers of Coercing - make it ILLEGAL.
If parents were wise, they would avoid pediatricians completely & seek medical care from family practitioners in private practice & who are not part of a corporate medical enterprise. There are fewer & fewer of such doctors, but it would be worth seeking them out.
And the more they are sought out, perhaps the more will go into family practice instead of pediatrics. "Family Practicitioner" used to be known as "General Practictitioner". The labels have changed, but the focus, ever more specializaton, has taken over, too.
This is hard to do at age 20. Which is when my daughter was born and undoubtedly initiated into the world of vaccines.
Very well said, LoverOf Hills!

Healthcare CEOs are no longer doctors. (if they ever were)
They're bean counters, dependent on a fabulous bottom line to justify their outrageous compensation package.

Not to mention the "other" red flag - all the died suddenly, "causes unknown" - a book by that title from Ed Dowd...another canary?

Dennis,
Uptick in claims with Medicare (>65 yo) or private insurance as well? How can we find out more (specifically to breakdown of diagnosis?)
From the dramatic increases in premiums across the board (private individual, as well as small and large group), I believe we can ascertain with a reasonable degree of certainty that claims experience is way up -- it's not just medical cost trend. So yes, not just Medicare. UHC has specifically talked about their uptick in claims (twice what was expected for 1st quarter 2025). The other carriers that I work with are using double speak ("unprecedented financial pressure" in the case of UCare), although in a couple of Wall Street Journal articles, it was specifically stated that claims experience was skyrocketing for other Medicare Advantage plan carriers, and that their stocks were down.

Your son and daughter in law might find Dr. Paul Thomas' new book beneficial called "Vax Facts."
Dr. Paul (Pediatrician) lost his license for COURAGEOUSLY, SACRIFICIALLY providing informed consent to the parents of his patients and allowing the parents to choose for their child to get zero vaccinations, delayed schedule vaccinations or follow the CDC'S Childhood Vaccine Schedule.
I can't help but think a lot of the problem is that so many doctors are in group practices. My own ND was part of a large practice for a little over a year, after which she bailed and went into private practice--again. And of course, as a Naturopath, she's definitely not keen on vaccines, and this caused her all kinds of headaches with the group practice. She's happy for the experience but even happier to be able to make her own decisions in her own practice. As someone who stopped vaccinating decades ago, I breathed a sign of relief and was more than willing to pay privately if her practice couldn't accept insurance coverage. (P.S. It took over a year for that to happen.)
This unethical practice of a doctor refusing to treat a child, because of the parent not wanting a specic treatment...is as we all know based on the bonus doctors receive, when every child in the practice has received the vaccine. This is totally unethical...and all connected to it should be heavily fined and warned...stop or you will lose your license to practice medicine.
Thank you for clearly stating it’s about the collective vs individual rights. The collective idea has merit but requires perfection in predicting the outcome. No decision is ever without a tradeoff and predicting/ensuring the results claimed/intended too often not only fail to deliver but too often produce greater harm than doing nothing. The absurdity of centralized government dictates has led to restricting Americans from obtaining pharmaceutical alternatives that are easily obtainable in Mexico especially for those close to the border, turning Americans into criminals. My doctor works for a very large company and can make no decisions contrary to their strict adherence to government policies even if he thinks it would be a benefit, and has used it successfully in the past. I’m sick of this nanny state bullshit. They’re nothing but an organized criminal enterprise serving themselves at our expense.
It's becoming more apparent that doctors working for large medical groups are constrained by the business model which commits to guidelines driving lower costs and limited treatment options. Doctors are not allowed to use their training and diagnostic capabilities, as the large medical groups have sold their souls for volume cost benefits without any regard to the appropriate patient treatment directed by the skill of the physicians.
As I approach my 83rd birthday Canada’s MAID policy becomes more and more evil. Thank God I live in Florida. Thank you Doctor Malone for this clear and straight forward presentation of the issues.
Yes, it is apparently becoming more evil. This appeared on Dr. Makis' substack today..https://open.substack.com/pub/makisw/p/news-canadian-doctors-are-railroading?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
Today the news reported that Canada’s government is ending home delivery of mail, which has caused mail carriers to commence some kind of strike. Is there something in the water up north causing these insanities?
Thank you, Dr. Malone for this wonderfully written truthful piece of information!
“This is a great example of physicians upholding the rights of the collective over their individual patients.” —- most visits are vaccine visits, not wellness visits.
Hence why vaccinated children are 400x sicker: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/how-a-congressional-hearing-revealed
Public health is a flawed concept on its face because it includes the false assumption that we are all alike in our biological, chemical, electrical and psychological being, and that only one standard of care is best for all. Treating a specific person based upon the averaged success of certain cases may not be the best choice for that particular person.
We live in a country based upon freedom and liberty for all, and that concept emphasizes our devotion to each person and their specific worth. We are not, and will never be, a communist society where the collective is awarded greater importance than the individual. When our medical system directs its energy towards individual health, it will be producing a healthier society for all of us. It would be wonderful if the newly structured ACIP, could actually be used as an advisory committee to redirect all physicians to the values of individual healing. Such a revival is truly needed.
It was never for the good of the collective anyway. It was all about $$$$. The system is corrupt. Too many self-interested bad doers. Individual choice. Always!
Public Health might do better to focus on establishing the parameters that govern the incidence of the various maladies rather than pushing trendy treatments that appear to be of use only to those with a myopic focus on the potential and generally speculative benefits of poorly tested therapies that are advocated by the developers of those therapies. An informed market will make better decisions in aggregate than the utopian dreams of designated experts.
I begin advising that I am beyond 100% committed to my freedom and sovereignty. I oppose any obligation trying to be imposed on me, that I disagree with. My Doctor labels me as uncooperative and broadcasts that label with any referral.
Now on to the issue of the Public Health approach vs. personalized care. I don't think we can count on a majority of physicians dedicated to providing individualized care per se. I believe a significant portion of our medical community, beyond personal sentimates, have been forced into a public health mode. The med school training, particularly in recent times, focused on social justice. Medical insurers focus on standard of care. State Medical Boards focus on standards of care. Employers focus on volume and no issues. All told pointing to public health style incentives.
Public Health. I agree looks to effectively deliver all benefits to the collective. I do question whether Public Health gives a damn about the collective or individual patients happiness. Patients are a source of income. The patients need to be dealt with in terms of standard of practice and generally satisfied by the service they recieve. The employer must be satisfied.receive. also note that we now have a substantial number of foreign doctors coming from socialist countries (more likely to have public health perspectives). Which is to suggest to achieve a US approach, we may have to come up with getting these persons to modify their views.
Traditional medical practice. It is ever so heartening to know there are some left. Thank heavens for the IMA! One suspects traditional practitioners will carry on regardless. That, at least absent another insane pandemic response with all the evils you note, they will advocate for traditional practice. I hope the changes (in incentives +) as needed to support their styles of practice are accomplished.
So to sum it up - I believe in and hope for an amicable right to make my own decisions as long as they will not harm others. This is getting harder to realise. I didnt pick up my mail for 5 days and the postwoman ordered a house check with police, fire and ambulance. I ask a neighbor who was calling to get them to go away. They are so quick to get their clutches on you.
This is initial thoughts. Would be happy to consider further if wanted.
