Actually, loss of faith in "public heath" is a good thing :-) These people are abusive and corrupt. The modern medical system does not help us to be healthy, instead it provides drugs and surgery that reduce symptoms at the cost of "side effects" and even worse long-term health.
Yes I fear there is some truth in that. Being someone who endlessly yo-yo's between slim and fit, and blobby and bovine, I learned a bit about why it was such a struggle to keep the weight off.
Various books were very revealing - I didn't know that in many cases type 2 diabetes could be cured with diet, for example. How many doctors go down this route with their patients before prescribing things which actually make things worse, bit by bit?
The whole diet-heart hypothesis and the food pyramid bollox made me look much closely at the relationships between industry and the health profession.
"a patient cured is a customer lost" is their guiding principle. Thou shalt not cure people and upset the bottom line. Just ask Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez. Oh wait, you can't now. He died a suspicious death for doing just that.....

Doctors ain't what they used to be, assuming they ever were.
I used to think the movie "The Exorcist" was the scariest thing I had ever seen until I watched portions of Senator Ron Johnson's hearing with MKM and other doctors. The suppression of early treatments, refusal of pharmacies to fill Rx's, and the threat to revoke a doctor's license for straying outside the CDC's guidelines to essentially do nothing until covid becomes life-threatening is terrifying.
The full 5 hour hearing (I found it on Rumble) is worthy of the time invested to view it. One can reasonably conclude that they're trying to take, not save, lives. That is what a different kind of doctor--Dr. Mike Yeadon--has been saying for a year now.
Yep. Since Edward Jenner and before who experimented on his gardener's 8yo son rather than his own 7yo son. Vaccinations are designed to harm. There are no benefits in taking any of them.
Noorchachasm seems to anchor his belief on a fallacy, that because it's called a vaccine it must therefore be effective. Another of big pharma's useful idiots.
The key point of his in my view "who have already lost trust in their government and expert institutions,"
Which goes directly to the title of your post here. He's appealing to authority. He's not challenging so much on medical grounds but on a "come back guys, don't wreck this" basis.
And one reason a certain chunk of people have lost trust in government is because they've seen with their own eyes that the vaccines don't do as promised.
Flu and pneumonia shots are filled with harmful chemicals also. I think they couldn't get enough buy in from the public and this was the way to do it. They needed another way to deliver the depopulation plan.
I am 69 years old and healthy. Theresa Brown, YOU ROCK!! Unfortunately, I was lied to about these vaccines (and what they contained!) and received both jabs of Moderna BEFORE I learned
the truth about them. I trusted the medical & public health officials, and it may end up costing me my life. If so....I will die spreading TRUTH, and not lies!!
I am really, really annoyed by the reframing of the word "immune" (or immunize, or immunization). It should mean something like "not being affected by something" (like not being affected by local laws if under diplomatic immunity. These people are using "immunization" as a synonym for "injection". It's not about the consequences anymore, all about the process.
So much of society is falling prey to these kinds of reframings.
Racism, it is claimed, is a function of both prejudice AND power. A bizarre reframing that suits one set of ideals and agendas.
The reframing of masculinity as "toxic" is another - and I've lost count of the number of things that are supposed to be white supremacist these days. I think even being respectful, on time, and rational are supposed to be examples of some kind of toxic "whiteness" - according the Smithsonian.
This egregious dicking about with what words actually MEAN is deliberate. It's like being in one of those hall of mirrors - where everything is distorted. There's no way to get a true, undistorted picture, without smashing the mirrors.
Indeed. In Germany, at this Vaccine Moment (as Paul Kingsnorth calls it), all kinds of ugly frames are being tried around "Freiheit" (which can be translated as "freedom" or "liberty"; at least in modern German there's no way to differentiate between the two).
I will go a step further and say what many people might be thinking but may not be all too comfortable to say it out loud. Allopathic medicine is simply not good enough and its inadequacies have never been more glaringly demonstrated than in the last two years.
I am from India and used to have such blind trust and faith in Western Allopathic medicine and vaccines...until i realized all that allopathy seems to be capable of is treating the symptoms of disease, but not the root cause.
We have had the vaccine jointly produced by Oxford and Astrazeneca here and another vaccine produced locally in India... They have not generated the same type of horror stories that i have seen with the mRNA vaccines.. I hesitate to call them effective because i feel that the vaccines in India have been redundant at best and completely unnecessary at worst.

I studied, lived and worked in the US a long time ago and never in a billion years would have dreamt of uncovering so many uncomfortable truths about America...no i am not talking about any garbage spewed by Ibrahim Kendi here, but the demonstrable and openly corrupt functioning of the US medical establishment and the real power behind them.
There have been very few voices of reason.... very few people with courage to take on the US medical establishment ..even those that are trying are being slammed shut with Big Brother Technopoly in near total control of public discourse.

Dr. Noorchashm appears to me to be controlled opposition. A bit of truth (previously infected should not be vaccinated) combined with state approved lies (everything else he says). He should be ashamed of himself but, unfortunately, that’s not the world we live in anymore.
From the beginning of this overhyped "pandemic" the governing elites have been creating mass hysteria amongst the weak minded. They've been dogmatic in their assertions that this threat justified locking everyone down and stripping away their rights. They assured everyone that they were doctors and scientists who should be trusted. Simply comply and they would lead us to the promised land. However, they never offered any data or scientific evidence to justify their prescription of isolation. They promoted fear and said trust us, we're doctors and scientists. Yet every treatment they prescribed proved to actually do more harm.
They've reversed themselves more times than Austin Powers in a Las Vegas tunnel. And each reversal is, as Rudolph identified, filled with logical fallacies.
I'm not sure I'll ever properly understand what's gone on in the last 2 years - it baffles me. But I'm almost certainly working from the wrong set of starting assumptions. My standard assumptions of "partially flawed but mostly trying to do the right thing based on the evidence" don't work - you get an entirely different set of predicted behaviours than those we've seen, based on those assumptions. In maths this is like a "proof by contradiction" - you start by assuming something is true - and then derive the consequences of that. If those consequences are contradictory you have disproven your initial assumption.
As a nurse, I lost trust in the CDC when they hid AIDS from us. They knowingly hid it from us for 10 years, exposing us to all of the risks. I have also sadly lost trust in the "institutions" that train nurses as they don't teach compassion or promote critical thinking skills. Nurses are supposed to be the frontline defenders who actually run the care. Doctors depend on our assessments and recommended treatments. In the past 20 years, I have seen the nursing profession go down the toilet and that's why older nurses are leaving the field. It's hard work manning a 10 bed neurosurgery ICU, but rewarding when most of the outcomes are positive and sometimes miraculous. Today, if a nurse has more than 4 patients, they freak out. So, it's not just doctors that have lost their way and it is heart breaking what has become of the entire medical profession.
At the beginning of this fine mess, like most here in the States, I had a minor bias against the CDC based upon its desire to consider firearms a medical issue. Being that I had no reason to doubt their dedication to "scientific" studies. However, I was ignorant of the incompetence of the entire agency.
I, too have lost trust in the faces of the lettered agencies...CDC, FDA, NIH. Not to mention the cardiologist who, without actual evidence, told my twice recovered Covid kid, to get Pfizer Jab. He has an aortic stenosis that has been stable since it's diagnosis seven years ago, and an echocardiogram showed no change. When he asked about the potential for Mycocarditis because he's 22? She told him if he got another strain of Covid, and mycocarditis it would be so much worse than the shot! I know that people can recover without incident, but his antibodies will protect him past any weaker strains at this point. He will not listen to me, because I do not have the MD behind my name and suggests all my links are garbage. He is smart, but I am not speaking his language. I also asked if he would get an antibody test and cardiac enzymes, Troponin and D-dimer to check normal values. So that if he has an injury, I can prove it. I could still lose my job because natural immunity is not recognized while all inoculated around me have gotten sick.

Please be patient with me. I am just an ignorant retired lawyer, but what safe and effective vaccines have been developed in 9 months? I agree with McCullough and Kory about the safety and efficacy of Ivermectin and HCQ but respectfully disagree concerning whether anyone should be taking these rushed experimental “vaccines” (REVs) when there are safe and effective therapeutics. I think the evidence is clear that these REVs don’t work and no one, I repeat no one, knows what they will do to people in the long term.
I think MKM have been coming out much more strongly against these vaccines recently. In the earlier days they were definitely more "pro" for the vulnerable category - but we have more data now and I don't think their messaging is quite the same as a result.
Personally, I'm not convinced they have much efficacy - even short term. Against Omicron the situation seems even worse.
Even if they did have some efficacy (and remember that efficacy is the majority view - including the view of some competent statisticians) the issue of side effects is alarming, to say the least. These jabs are hugely more dangerous than any other vaccine in general use. Their safety profile is appalling in comparison.
So, assuming SOME efficacy, they might just about nip in with a positive risk/benefit ratio for the very vulnerable - but honestly, at this point my advice would be to steer well clear of them - and even more so now that Omicron is dominant.
Thank you for your reply. I assisted on a Tetanus case in 1975 and came to the conclusion that it takes years and often more than a decade to develop a safe vaccine. So, I would appreciate it if you or someone else could answer my question. Has a safe and effective vaccine ever been developed in 9 months?
And how do you develop a vaccine to deal with what appears to be a bioweapon? I am alarmed by what I perceive to be gross incompetence of most of the scientific community and almost all of the medical community. My own doctor told me that Ivermectin was dangerous. He hadn’t done any research and had never heard of Kory or McCullough.

I’m tired of people advocating the Vax for ANY age group, including elderly. There is NO proof of efficacy, but great evidence indicating dangers with NO long term testing at all. Does long term not matter because they are Old??
More importantly, if we don’t face the TRUTH- people were diagnosed with COVID and subsequently murdered. You put any elderly on a vent long term, Remdesivir, isolation, paralytics and sedatives (which reduce, even eliminate oxygen), don’t bathe them.. the protocol is nothing less than torture and death is the likely outcome. The WHO and CDC are certainly aware of these facts. VAP has been on the WHO’s list of top five preventable medical deaths for decades
As I wrote in reply to another comment I think MKM have hardened their stance with regards to the vaccines recently.
There is no proof of efficacy, but also no proof of inefficacy - it depends on which statistician or data analyst you read. I think there's no doubt with Omicron there is little efficacy against infection - but some are still claiming efficacy against serious symptoms.
Personally, I think the vaccines are crap. They don't work very well (if at all) and their safety profile in comparison to other vaccines is just off-the-scale awful.
The asymmetry of the approval process is another red flag - stuff that is expensive and will make a profit gets pushed through with a wink and a nod and some half-arsed trial, whereas HCQ and ivermectin have to jump through hoops never before demanded in order to meet their "approval".
Everything you need to know about this Noorachasm charlatan is summarised by the fact that he uses the 'preventing severe or fatal illness' claim - which was the first 'narrative pivot' when it turned out that the clot-shots didn't do what their EUA was all about - viz., 'dead end'-ing infections.
The EUA for the clot-shot - the basis on which the clot-shot is available - was not based on reduction of severity of symptoms.
The primary end-point that was the basis of the FDA EUA approval of the Pfizer trial (NCT04368728) - the end-point that was used for the '95% efficacy' claim - was primary end-point #19 ("Confirmed COVID-19 in Phase 2/3 participants without evidence of infection before vaccination").
'Preventing severe COVID19' was NOT a primary end-point: it was a SECONDARY endpoint (secondary end-point #10, for those playing at home). Prevention of death [from or with] was not an end-point at all (although by inference, if the clot-shot prevented severe disease, it prevented death).
Again for those playing at home: the '95% efficacy' number was arrived at as follows:
In the clot-shot leg, 99.96% of the 18,198 participants DIDN’T develop COVID-19 symptoms.
In the placebo leg, 99.12% of the 18,325 participants DIDN'T develop COVID-19 symptoms.
Pfizer’s acclaimed vaccine, despite assessment of 95% efficacy (a measure of relative rather than absolute risk), thus made a difference of just 0.84% within the study population.
1-0.04/0.88 = 0.954 (i.e., 95.4%)
There were 8 cases in the clotshot group, and 162 in the placebo group.
One caveat to this: there were "3410 total cases of suspected, but unconfirmed covid-19 in the overall study population, 1594 occurred in the vaccine group vs. 1816 in the placebo group."
Caveat 2: there were 371 individuals excluded from the efficacy analysis for "important protocol deviations on or prior to 7 days after Dose 2." There is a weird imbalance between these excluded individuals: 311 from the vaccine group vs 60 on placebo.
The trial was deliberately flawed, and they pulled the pin deliberately so as to avoid reporting waning efficacy. They used the usual lie of "Our results are so good that It would be unethical not to treat the placebo group immediately"... which they did, thus de-blinding the trial and preventing any evaluation of longer-term safety and efficacy.
The people who did this - and the people who enabled it - deserve the death penalty.
I had already lost my trust in all regulatory institutions where large amounts of money are involved. Every time I looked at another one, it was the same old story, money talks.
Even so, what's happened with covid was shocking, because they are now regulating us for the benefit of their business clients. Before covid you could just say "no thank you", and find some way to circumvent the regulatory agencies to protect your health. Now I can't go into a grocery store and buy food without putting on a mask, millions of people have lost their businesses, and billions of people have been injected by force (aka you can eat or starve, its totally your choice).
The loss of faith in public health may well cause more deaths than covid over the years to come.

A good discussion of this happened in the BMJ. https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/01/04/peter-doshi-pfizer-and-modernas-95-effective-vaccines-we-need-more-details-and-the-raw-data/
well, apart from the death penalty bit, lots of good points there!
I had already lost my trust in all regulatory institutions where large amounts of money are involved. Every time I looked at another one, it was the same old story, money talks.
Even so, what's happened with covid was shocking, because they are now regulating us for the benefit of their business clients. Before covid you could just say "no thank you", and find some way to circumvent the regulatory agencies to protect your health. Now I can't go into a grocery store and buy food without putting on a mask, millions of people have lost their businesses, and billions of people have been injected by force (aka you can eat or starve, its totally your choice).
