Madison Area Lyme Support Group

Short answer: they are persecuted and vilified.  Lymeland is filled with such examples.

I remember a quote from Dr. Afrin I will never forget: “Doctors aren’t paid to think.” 

Now that’s a sad truth.

• De Facto Laws: things that are not formal laws but are treated as such: e.g., during COVID there was coordinated and widespread censorship of COVID treatments that no one could make any money off of.  This of course was illegal but became de facto law because everyone deferred to the “authorities” advocating the position.
• Corrupt Panels:  Similarly to the corrupt panels appointed to create Lyme “guidelines,” corrupt panels are appointed to provide “guidelines” for treating diseases that support the sponsors of those panels who have financial interests with the chosen treatments – despite lack of effectiveness or safety.  Due to this, doctors have had to sue the FDA for illegal interference.  This has yet to be done in Lymeland; however, the lawsuit against the IDSA may be revived.
  • The article actually mentions the plight in Lymeland and comments that so far the Torrey lawsuit was dismissed because the IDSA has argued that adherence to the Lyme guidelines is “voluntary,” but similarly to COVID, have served as de facto law, but for over 40 years.  Since the IDSA ruling has not been challenged, it is the current precedent and may explain why the FDA recently reversed its position on ivermectin:
    

    FDA explicitly recognizes that doctors do have the authority to prescribe ivermectin to treat COVID,” Ashley Cheung Honold, a Department of Justice lawyer representing the FDA, said during oral arguments on Aug. 8 in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit.

• Specialty Boards make a variety of de facto laws usually based on greed:  Eichenwald’s investigation for Newsweek in 2015 found:
  • ABIM executives were receiving between 1-2 million dollars in annual salaries (which should be in the 100k-200k range)
  • That the ABIM, a non-profit, was doing everything it could to hide that compensation.
  • That ABIM was aggressively pushing physicians to do onerous and completely pointless things to maintain their board certifications so they could milk more money from them.
  • That the ABIM was engaging in anti-competitive practices against anyone who tried to create an alternative to their model.
  • ABIM has moved to revoke board certifications of many experts who have spoken out about COVID causing many to fight back through lawsuits and the grueling repeal process:

I’m done with these people. I don’t need the board certification because I never want to work in a hospital again. However, on principle I need to fight this because a lot of other doctors do and they are trying to make an example out of us so all those doctors stay in line and comply.

Suddenly claiming that using licensed drugs for COVID, criticizing federal policies for COVID or criticizing the value of COVID vaccines is “unprofessional” gives the specialty board the right to revoke a certification—well, that was never part of its contract with me. So pulling my certification for issues that were never specified in the original contract is breach of contract. Well, that is if contracts, like constitutional amendments and medical ethical principles were still “a thing.” ~ Dr.

• Consensus-based medicine is not the same thing as evidence-based medicine

Note: as detailed in The War on Ivermectin, there were 80 lawsuits where families with a relative being subjected to Fauci’s hospital COVID protocols and was expected to die had lawyer Ralph Lorigo sue the hospital for ivermectin to be administered to their relative. Of those 80 lawsuits, in 40 the judge sided with the family, and in 40 with the hospital (initially the lawsuits were successful, but as they mounted, the hospitals banded together to develop an effective apparatus to dismiss further lawsuits). Of the 40 cases where ivermectin was given, 38 of the 40 patients survived. Of the 40 cases where the hospitals were allowed to withhold ivermectin, 2 of the 40 patients survived. Beyond the fact this is insane, like the vaccine mandates, it is also a perfect example of not following the three pillars of EBM.

• • COVID is the perfect example of consensus-based medicine masquerading as evidence-based medicine which was forced upon the entire world.

Another indictment that affects all of this is the censorship industry that has completely taken over making it nearly impossible to find truth.  Similarly to how the medical field has been usurped by “consensus-based medicine,” the entire globe has been hijacked by something called “whole of society response” which is an ugly unification of government, news media & “fact-checkers,” the private sector, and civil society. Taxpayer-funded researchers devised stealth strategies to aid social media censorship, including ‘newspeak’ to hide the government’s censorship agenda.  Go here for an interview with Mike Benz, executive director for the Foundation for Freedom Online.  Benz started off as a corporate lawyer representing tech and media companies and then became a speech writer.  Important points to understand:

• Google started as a DARPA grant and was part of the CIA’s and NSA’s digital data program, the purpose of which was to conduct “birds of a feather” mapping online so that certain groups could be neutralized
• All of the early internet freedom technologies of the 90s were funded by the Pentagon and the State Department. They were developed by the intelligence community as an insurgency tool — a means to help dissident groups in foreign countries to develop a pro-U.S. stance and evade state-controlled media. Now, these same technologies have been turned against the American public, and are used to control public discourse
• In the past, censorship was a laborious task that could only be done after the fact. Artificial intelligence has radically altered the censorship industry. AI programs can now censor information en masse, based on the language used, and prevent it from being seen at all
• One of the most effective strategies that would have immediate effect would be to strip the censorship industry of its government funding. The House controls the purse strings of the federal government, so the House Appropriations Committee has the power to end the funding of government-sponsored censorship
