Collusion Among Media, Big Pharma, Politicians, and The Medical Establishment
And how they're getting rich while we're getting sicker
The following is an exclusive Sneak Peek of my upcoming book, “Follow the Science,” already an Amazon bestseller for 4+ months.
We’re deeply mired in a serious crisis that is touching all of us and growing worse. It is virtually ignored by our elected officials and popular media—but for their efforts to bury it. It’s a health crisis that encompasses an epidemic of chronic and acute diseases, an explosion in disorders related to Covid and Covid vaccines, historic levels of mental illness, and more young people than ever afflicted by brand-new diseases or those previously unheard-of in children.
We could fix these emergencies, but they are nowhere to be found on the national agenda set by our health agencies and major political figures. They’re too busy spending your tax dollars on their own priorities.
Their priorities include deflecting from the crisis by feeding us a steady stream of propaganda and misinformation. Creating a market for, selling, and defending medicine. And smearing anyone who stands in the way. Why they do this, contrary to all of our best interests, is at the heart of this book...
It’s not as if we haven’t tried to get a grasp on our own health. But for every safety measure enacted on our behalf, there are well-funded and powerful interests working to undermine it. Warning labels are required for drugs, including vaccines. But doctors who prescribe them usually don’t tell you what’s on the labels, encourage you to read them, or later find out if you suffered any ill effects. And if you end up back in the clinic or in the ER with an adverse event, odds are the doctors won’t recognize or acknowledge it as drug-related. They certainly don’t report it to the federal databases designed to track and unearth new side effects. Why?…
We exist largely in an artificial reality brought to you by the makers of the latest pill or injection. It’s a reality where invisible forces work daily to hype fears about certain illnesses, and exaggerate the sup- posed benefits of treatments and cures. On the other hand, these forces have financial reasons to minimize or deny spikes in other types of illnesses that they make money treating, so that we don’t seriously explore root causes. In those cases, they argue the surge is just the result of greater awareness and better diagnosis, or maybe the invention of overactive imaginations.
The hard truth is that every emerging disorder we suffer opens up new opportunities for pharmaceutical companies to earn millions or billions. Drug companies and their government partners fund the majority of scientific studies with the goal of promoting a product. Studies that could stand to truly solve our most consequential health problems aren’t done if they don’t ultimately advance a profitable pill or injection.
The government subsidizes food that’s bad for us; allows known neurotoxins, cancer-causing chemicals, and hormone disruptors to be in the food we feed our children every day and the water we drink; and restricts practices that could make us healthier. It incentivizes the practice of medicine in a way that reduces us to a series of target numbers to be achieved through expensive pharmaceuticals and treat-ments, and punishes doctors who color outside the lines and practice independent patient care. Why?...
It’s one thing to be barraged by marketing to convince you to buy a shiny new car. But it’s quite another to get sold a bill of goods by our trusted health experts when it comes to our most precious possession. Our increasingly elusive quest for good health has become a commodity to be bought and sold by today’s snake oil salesmen and their coconspirators, but on a far grander scale....
There may be a silver lining. The bad guys finally went too far. With Covid: the disinformation, intolerance for dissent, shutdowns, mandates, forced or withheld medical treatment, mass firings, and attacks upon tens of thousands of scientists sparked the formation of a diverse coalition. This coalition includes a mix of liberals, conservatives, and nonpartisans. It’s made up of freethinking parents, students, doctors, nurses, researchers, elected officials, and celebrities. Many had never before questioned public health narratives or their doctors.
Most had blindly supported them. But today, members of this new coalition find themselves probing widely pushed orthodoxy on Covid and beyond, rightly asking what else the media and top public health officials have misled us on.
Now, redemption from the grasp of those who seek to control ourhealth and our lives may come through a collective awakening that’s already begun.

Sharryl,
Your formulation of: ‘It is one thing to market/advertise a new Cadillac every 2 years that we don’t need (when we are each spending our own money to buy it (Caveat Emptor); it is entirely another thing to market a prescription drug (with risks & side effects requiring a prescription from a doctor/ provider (making them complicit in the process) when 99 44/100% of the time it will largely be paid for by someone else (employer sponsored health insurance—paid for by the purchaser of your employer’s products, Medicare or Medicaid). Free market only works when the buyer is paying the freight for his own foolishness, & has adequate information on the product.
I used to make that point to my medical students and residents, emphasizing the $ cost side of things ; you emphasize knowledge deficit side of things.
You are the first person I know of (besides me)who pointed out the pernicious effects of direct to consumer advertising of prescription drugs. Bravo!
There is a movement afoot. It's coming and it is born by what this article is capturing. RFK jr. is all over this, as wel as many others. Critial mass is what I beleive it is called.
