While a family doctor in private practice can operate without board certification, most medical centers will not hire a doctor who isn\u2019t board certified in his specialty, and insurance companies won\u2019t put you on their panel.<\/p>\n<p>Kory, however, is not overly concerned about this threat \u2014 which is really little more than an intimidation tactic to shut him up \u2014 as he has no intention of ever going back to a hospital setting.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019m done,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>he says.<em>\u00a0\u201cThere\u2019s no way I could walk into a hospital. I\u2019ve just learned too much. I\u2019ve learned too much about pharmaceutical control of almost all of the medical evidence. There\u2019s no way I can fit. Now I\u2019m a square peg in a round hole.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So, to be honest, I don\u2019t think [losing my board certification] would have an impact. I am now in private practice. I have a bustling telehealth practice and I\u2019m very happy. I\u2019m outside the system, I can do and say and care for the patients in a manner that I best see fit.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Anyway, our reply [to the American Board of Internal Medicine] was different than Peter\u2019s. He presented all the evidence to support all the statements they accused him of as being misinformation; very data driven, evidence-based.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What we did is, our lawyer looked at their policy on misinformation and the process of \u2018convicting\u2019 someone of misinformation, and it required that they provide us the evidence showing that we are wrong and misinformed.<\/p>\n<p><em>But the letter to us was bizarre. It was this hodgepodge of statements that I\u2019d made or written on my Substack, and it was just implied that that\u2019s misinformation \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, we wrote back very simply, \u2018Excuse us, but your letter does not follow your own misinformation policy. We ask that you kindly reissue the letter with the evidence showing that we\u2019re wrong.\u2019 And we\u2019ve gotten radio silence ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>After spending his career as an internist and critical care physician, Kory has now turned his attention to long-haul COVID and post-jab injury syndromes \u2014 complex chronic illnesses. To that end, he\u2019s collaborating with doctors who\u2019ve spent decades treating other tricky conditions, such as chronic Lyme disease, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cSo, not only do I have a new career and practice, but also a new intellectual focus and it\u2019s much more satisfying. I\u2019m literally returning people to levels of function that they weren\u2019t at before.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>These were oftentimes healthy people with full careers, children, they exercised, ate right and now they\u2019re fully disabled with numerous organ system complaints.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019ll tell you, getting them from 20% [function] to 40% [function] is a big deal, when they can actually do just a little bit more than they were doing before, and when you get them to 80%, it\u2019s transformative.<\/p>\n<p><em>But it\u2019s way more challenging. And I tell my patients, \u2018Listen, I have to be humble here. I\u2019m trying to figure this out. I\u2019m collaborating, I\u2019m reading, I\u2019m learning from you.\u2019 I\u2019m learning from each patient, because we\u2019re doing a lot of empiric therapies.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We\u2019re trying things, and so I learn. Each patient serves as their own control and I\u2019m finding different things work on different patients. But the real challenge that I\u2019m finding is that I don\u2019t have any biomarkers or tests that I find helpful to direct therapies.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A lot of the tests are normal, even inflammatory markers. Clotting markers are normal, and yet I know that they have inflammatory processes and they\u2019re thrombogenic. So, I wish there was more research and guidance.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>One of the primary complaints of those struggling with what we\u2019re now calling \u201clong-haul COVID\u201d is fatigue, a lack of energy to do even the most basic things. Since mitochondria are responsible for 90% of the energy production in your body, it stands to reason that impaired energy production in the mitochondria, or more simply, mitochondrial dysfunction, is at play.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge is how to recover that function. One fascinating drug that can help in this regard is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/takecontrol.substack.com\/p\/methylene-blue-health-benefits\" rel=\"\">methylene blue<\/a>, which helps mitochondrial respiration and improves brain energy metabolism. Methylene blue is actually the parent molecule for hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, off-patent drugs commonly used to treat not only malaria but also COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>Best known as a fish tank antiseptic and textile dye for blue jeans, it was actually the first synthetic drug in modern history, developed in 1876. Since then, we\u2019ve discovered it has many really important medicinal benefits. Importantly, it\u2019s the only known antidote for metabolic poisons, i.e., any poison that interferes with oxygen transport or displaces oxygen, either from the blood or from the mitochondria.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, as an electron cycler, methylene blue acts like a battery, but unlike other compounds that do the same thing, it doesn\u2019t cause damaging oxidation in the process. You can review\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/takecontrol.substack.com\/p\/methylene-blue-health-benefits\" rel=\"\">my interview with Dr. Francisco Gonzalez Lima<\/a>\u00a0here for more information.<\/p>\n<p>If anything interferes with oxygenation or cellular respiration, such as cyanide, methylene blue is able to bypass that point of interference through electron cycling, thus allowing mitochondrial respiration, oxygen consumption and energy production to function as it normally would. And, the effect is typically felt within hours, as it increases, by about 30%, the ability of the mitochondria to produce ATP in the electron transport chain. Kory has also found it useful.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cMy really sick patients use methylene blue,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>he says<em>. \u201cSome of the really sick ones that aren\u2019t responding to medicine, I send to a clinic where they do apheresis, ozone, methylene blue, infrared. One of them actually was discharged on oral methylene blue. And so, I want to figure out how to implement oral methylene blue.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Methylene blue is far from a cure-all, however. Any number of processes could be impacting your mitochondria, and they all need to be addressed. Adding to the complexity is that remedies that work really well in one long-hauler or COVID jab-injured patient often will not work for another, even though they present with very similar symptoms.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cWe\u2019ve [found] about six or seven different pathophysiologic mechanisms, and one of them is mitochondrial dysfunction, but I don\u2019t know which is the predominant one in each patient,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Kory says<em>. \u201cI have no way of figuring that out. The only way I figure it out is by responses to therapy.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For instance, I had one young woman recently. I tried a number of therapies and what resurrected her, finally, was when I started to treat mast cell activation. I put her on antihistamine, famotidine [a heartburn medication], ketotifen [an asthma medication], and Boom.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Daily sun exposure for about an hour around solar noon can also be important, as the near-infrared wavelengths will trigger\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/health\/what-you-need-to-know-about-melatonin_4633361.html\" rel=\"\">melatonin production in your mitochondria<\/a>, where you need it the most.<\/p>\n<p>Melatonin is a potent antioxidant, so getting plenty of sunshine on bare skin is a simple way to reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause damage, and secondarily increase the efficiency of ATP production. Kory has been recommending this as well.<\/p>\n<p>During our conversation, the issue of medical journals came up, and their role in the corruption of science. Kory notes:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cThat\u2019s the other transformation that Paul [Marik] and I have undergone. We really looked to those journals thinking they were the most sophisticated and that was the top levels of science. But seeing what was published in those journals throughout COVID uncovered the absolute control by the pharmaceutical industry.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I mean, what appears in those journals is what they allow to appear in those journals. Period. I know of many positive studies of repurposed drugs rejected. We\u2019ve seen them pull the following \u2014 JAMA and The New England Journal both \u2014 where instead of rejecting [the paper] they hold onto it as if they\u2019re considering it, and then the rejection comes months later.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I\u2019ve never heard of that in my career. Usually, when I\u2019ve tried to submit manuscripts, they either say, \u2018This is interesting. We\u2019re sending it out for peer review,\u2019 or they say, \u2018This is not of sufficient interest to our readership at this time.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>They rejected positive trials of ivermectin. And then, probably the greatest and most saddening corruption that they pulled, is that they published the Together trial on ivermectin, which is so brazenly fraudulent and corrupt.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>There are so many documented actions those investigators took in order to ensure they did not have a statistically significant benefit for ivermectin. Yet the New England Journal of Medicine published it. When you look at the design and the conduct of the trial, it should never be published. It was brazenly corrupt.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The investigators were all working for either their own companies or other companies whose sole job was to do research contracts for pharmaceutical companies. I mean, what would happen in their careers had they published a positive trial on ivermectin? That\u2019s it. Bye. No more contracts.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Kory, the idea for \u201cThe War on Ivermectin\u201d was birthed after reading an article titled \u201cThe Disinformation Playbook,\u201d<sup>1<\/sup>\u00a0published by the Union for Concerned Scientists. He explains:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cWhat happened is that after my ivermectin testimony<sup>2<\/sup><\/em><em>\u00a0[December 8, 2020, before Sen. Ron Johnson], which went viral and brought a lot of attention to the FLCCC \u2026 our protocols were looked in to. Doctors started prescribing ivermectin.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And I thought \u2014 this is how naive I was \u2014 I literally thought that we were providing a major intervention that would alter the trajectory of the pandemic, without question. It would reduce cases, hospitalizations and deaths, and now you have an effective early outpatient treatment. And I thought that news would be welcomed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I thought the FLCCC would come out as heroes. It was really Paul who identified the data signal first. He said, \u2018Wow. You got to see what these studies are starting to show.\u2019 I jumped in right behind him. I was the first author of that comprehensive review paper.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I worked a lot and I got deeply expert on ivermectin. But what happened in the next few months is that everything started going sideways, and I could not figure it out. I saw hit pieces. To you, this is not news. You\u2019re probably like, \u2018Yep. I\u2019ve seen that before.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The thing is, I didn\u2019t know. I didn\u2019t know that what I was really doing \u2014 bringing forth data supporting the efficacy of a generic drug \u2014 that is poking the bear. And when I say poking the bear, what is anathema to the pharmaceutical industry and their whole business model is they cannot have generic off-patent drugs become standard of care. It obliterates the market for their pricing new pills.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I didn\u2019t know I was stepping into a war. In the history of pharma, I don\u2019t think any single medicine threatened as many [drug] markets and campaigns. The only other medicine that did that was hydroxychloroquine, but they already killed hydroxychloroquine in 2020.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I was coming out now with ivermectin, and it threatened hundreds of billions of dollars in perpetuity for these insanely lethal vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, remdesivir, paxlovid, molnupiravir \u2014 all of the markets for their novel new pills to enter. I mean, I don\u2019t think any medicine has ever threatened that much of a market.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So, we were getting attacked. I did an interview with the Associated Press and the article that came out, I mean, I almost had a heart attack [reading it]. I saw unending attacks on ivermectin and it was coming in different directions. I saw academia getting all hot and bothered.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018It\u2019s a fringe medicine. It\u2019s unproven. The trials are small.\u2019 I saw all these narratives and I didn\u2019t know they were narratives at the time. I thought people were being stupid \u2026 Now, I see everything. I see everything they do now, even before they do it, because they\u2019re really predictable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The turning point came when Kory received a two-line email from Dr. William B. Grant (who also co-wrote my review paper<sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0on vitamin D for COVID prevention). The email said, \u201cDr. Kory, what they\u2019re doing to ivermectin is what they\u2019ve done to vitamin D for decades.\u201d Attached was a link to The Disinformation Playbook article.<sup>4<\/sup><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s a short article. It\u2019s very well-designed. They have little diagrams and then they have examples of disinformation campaigns. They describe the five plays, which they name after American football plays. And these are the tactics that pharma used. I read the article and I was like, \u2018Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Suddenly, the world made sense \u2014 and not in a good way. It was very ugly, because I was like, \u2018That\u2019s what\u2019s going on. There\u2019s a massive disinformation campaign directed at ivermectin.\u2019 From that moment on, everything that happened, every day, it was almost like I got tied to a front row seat for a horror movie. I\u2019ve had to watch a horror movie unfold ever since.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Millions dying, hospitals overflowing. And there\u2019s a drug that could prevent that. It could avert catastrophe. It would\u2019ve definitely either put the brakes on or stopped the vaccine campaign obsession, which is in my mind, is one of history\u2019s greatest humanitarian catastrophes.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s a holocaust out there with these vaccines. That\u2019s easily proven from immense sources of data now, from life insurance data, disability data, excess mortality data. Now we\u2019re even seeing birth rates dropping.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So, the theme of the book is centered around that. It\u2019s my experiences and knowledge of what they do \u2026 It\u2019s almost like a teacher\u2019s manual, because I saw everything they pulled, how they did it and how successful they were \u2014 the fire plays, the blitz, harass the scientists that come out with inconvenient science, the diversion, inject doubt where there is none.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Indeed, these disinformation tactics have a long history. They\u2019re not new. It\u2019s just that people in general have not been aware of these tactics, so they worked like a charm and could be used over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1950s, the tobacco industry hired a PR agency called Hills and Knowlton, which established all the strategies Kory just listed and discuss at depth in his book. The tobacco industry used it so effectively, they were able to quash cancer concerns for another 50 years.<\/p>\n<p>Their disinformation campaign didn\u2019t end until attorneys general across the country finally decided to collaborate and bring massive lawsuits against the tobacco industry, winning not only settlements but also \u2014 and more importantly \u2014 limiting their ability to practice disinformation through media and advertising.<\/p>\n<p>The telecommunications industry has used the same tactics since the \u201990s. They actually hired the same PR firm to protect their business and hoodwink customers, and they\u2019re still going strong. Unlike tobacco, which was finally understood to cause cancer, electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure from cell phones and Wi-Fi is still not recognized as a biological danger, despite massive amounts of evidence.<\/p>\n<p>The drug industry, though, has perhaps used the disinformation playbook the longest, and it\u2019s high time to break their magic spell. The way we do that is by educating ourselves and others about how they use disinformation to manipulate you. Once you know their playbook, it\u2019s like being equipped with X-ray vision.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cI think \u2018The War on Ivermectin\u2019 is almost as important as Bobby Kennedy\u2019s book, \u2018The Real Anthony Fauci,\u2019 where he, in a highly-referenced fashion, documents the control of medicine and the medical sciences and how it\u2019s literally controlled by pharma and how depraved that control is,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Kory says.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThey do not care. The pharmaceutical industry is a documented criminal industry. They\u2019ve released many, many products that have caused untold deaths and what do they do? They try to suppress that evidence for as long as possible. They get caught. They pay a fine. They do it again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kory also became wise to the fact that these kinds of medical disinformation campaigns have been routine for decades. Ivermectin was just the last in a long line of repurposed drugs that were being suppressed, lest it threaten Big Pharma profits. Cancer drugs, heart medications and psychiatric remedies have all been buried in the same way. He continues:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cSo, I started to learn about how pharma practices disinformation, and I think the most terrible disinformation campaigns, which caused more deaths than any other, were the ones on hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So, the book is about all of the tactics that I witnessed. It\u2019s also about my personal journey. I\u2019ve been through a lot. I\u2019ve lost three jobs. One I left voluntarily. One was mutual. The third was a firing. Also, my proudest contribution to COVID [was writing what] I thought was the best paper of my life. It was a paper that argued that the pulmonary phase of COVID is actually an organizing pneumonia, or what they used to call BOOP.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I wrote a paper with one of the top chest radiologists in the world. I consulted pathologists. I looked at autopsy data, even just the CAT scans were in a pattern of organized pneumonia, which is a terrible descriptor for the disease, because it suggests that it\u2019s an infection and it\u2019s not.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Organizing pneumonia is an inflammatory response to a lung injury. The gold standard of care is corticosteroids. That\u2019s the only thing that\u2019s been shown to really reverse organized pneumonia.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I gave testimony in the Senate in May 2020, telling the world that it was critical to use corticosteroids in the hospital phase of disease. I got attacked by the University of Wisconsin. By the way, you know another thing that I learned? Academic freedom isn\u2019t real. As soon as you\u2019re a professor with an opinion that goes against orthodoxy or the system, oh, you\u2019re going to feel the pressure \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I was vindicated on corticosteroids. It\u2019s now the standard of care around the world. However, the standard of care dose is 6 milligrams of dexamethasone, which is too low, [and] methylprednisone is far superior in its effects on the lung.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s well-known that in fulminant cases, like whited out lungs on a ventilator, you need \u2026 1,000 milligrams of methylprednisone for three days in a row. Six milligrams of Dex is equivalent to about 32 milligrams of methylprednisone.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While there are many individual success stories out there, one that Kory believes best illustrates the power of ivermectin against COVID is that of Itajai, Brazil, a city of 220,000 people. In June 2020, they implemented a prophylaxis program using ivermectin. The program was advertised throughout local media, and people were encouraged to participate and take ivermectin four times a month, on days 1, 2, 15 and 16.<\/p>\n<p>On the appropriate days, they set up tents and centers where people could get the drug, and the entire program was carefully logged in an electronic database. In all, 159,000 Brazilians participated, of those 113,000 elected to take the ivermectin. Kory and eight coauthors published a paper\u00a0on the results in March 2022.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cThe 113,000 [who took the ivermectin] were older, sicker, fatter. Way more cardiovascular disease and diabetes. And, obviously, they were probably more worried about the impacts on their health.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So, when you look at that comparison, I mean, there are massive negative confounders. But despite those confounders, even when you didn\u2019t propensity match, there were insanely positive benefits in the ivermectin group.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>They died much less, I think it was 70% lower risk of dying, 68% lower risk of hospitalization and 50% lower risk of getting COVID. And that was in the sickest of the sick in that city. Then, when we did propensity matching, matching them for age and other things, it was even greater.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>There\u2019s a follow up study which is astounding, where \u2026 they were able through pharmacy records to split the ivermectin group into two. Regular ivermectin users, those who took all their pills, and irregular, those who missed doses.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And when you look at the regular users, the ones who were most adherent to the protocol, no one went to the hospital. There was a 100% reduction in hospitalization and a 90% lower risk of dying. It\u2019s astounding \u2026 I\u2019ve never seen a more proven therapy in any disease model, which they successfully got everyone to believe is a horse dewormer used by unvaccinated conspiracy theorists.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ivermectin recommendations have changed over time, as newer variants have acted differently, requiring updated approaches. At present, Kory still recommends ivermectin for prevention, if you really feel you need it. Current COVID variants are very mild, however, and rarely cause severe problems (unless you got the COVID jab).<\/p>\n<p>For those struggling with long-haul COVID, ivermectin is a mainstay. \u201cIt\u2019s the most frequently effective therapy,\u201d Kory says. \u201cI do have in my practice a minority who are ivermectin non-responders, but the majority respond in either small or large ways.\u201d Importantly, ivermectin is the most effective drug available for binding to the spike protein.<\/p>\n<p>So, if there\u2019s circulating spike protein in your body, be it from natural infection or the jab, ivermectin will help bind to it, thereby preventing much of the spike\u2019s negative impacts.<\/p>\n<p>Ivermectin also repolarizes macrophages from the M1 to the M2 subtype. M1 is hyperinflammatory and M2 is hypo-inflammatory. So, it reduces inflammation. In addition to that, ivermectin has at least 18 other mechanisms of action and downstream effects that can be helpful.<\/p>\n<p>For long-haulers and the COVID jab injured, Kory typically starts patients out at 0.3 mg per kilo of bodyweight once a day. For most, that dose works well. It\u2019s still unclear how long people need to stay on this daily dose. Oftentimes, when they try to cut back, symptoms return, which suggests they still have spike protein in their bodies. Fortunately, the safety profile of ivermectin, even for long-term use, is very good.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, more doctors will get involved in the treatment of spike protein injuries. October 15 and 16, 2022, the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) will be holding a medical conference in Orlando, Florida, titled \u201cUnderstanding and Treating Spike Protein Induced Diseases.\u201d You can\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/covid19criticalcare.com\/conference\/\" rel=\"\">register for the conference on the FLCCC\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cWe have a lineup of speakers, deeply studied in treatment of complex chronic illnesses from different specialties. There are a lot of ways to approach this disease, so it\u2019s really important. It really is directed at the treating providers. Because one of the many abject failures is they literally don\u2019t recognize vaccine injury.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>There\u2019s no clinic for the vaccine injured. They\u2019re abandoned, and I\u2019m just going to be crude here \u2014 they\u2019re pissing off the doctors because all of these patients are showing up that doctors have no idea what\u2019s wrong with.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>They have no knowledge of the mechanisms. They have no knowledge of what some effective therapies can be. So, they\u2019re not treating these patients. They\u2019re abandoned and gaslit.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Some doctors actually get angry when the patients relate their symptoms to the vaccine. They don\u2019t want to hear it. They don\u2019t want a vaccine injured in their practice. I have numbers of patients where the physician literally told them, \u2018You don\u2019t need to schedule a follow up.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So, for those [doctors] who still have a shred of humanity, empathy and understanding that the spike protein is a toxin that causes immense amounts of disease, I hope they attend and\/or watch the lectures that we\u2019ll stream afterwards.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We\u2019re coming at this very humble. I mean, there are very few trials on therapies in these two syndromes. So, it\u2019s really about clinical knowledge, expertise and experiences from this disease and other diseases.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I am looking forward to it because I want to learn. I want to listen to those other speakers and hear about what they think and how they approach this. And I think it\u2019s going to be a really tremendous conference. I think a lot of laypeople will show up too \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Laypeople who are much more deeply studied and knowledgeable on what\u2019s really going on. They didn\u2019t go to medical school, but they\u2019re deeply studied and they read papers. They watch, read a lot of data sources.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So, I think it would be of interest to laypeople who want to learn how to either help themselves, or help their friends and colleagues, just like they did with COVID. You know how many laypeople passed around our protocols and tried to get their friends and relatives access to the medicines on our protocol? They saved lives. They saved lives by doing that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the interview, Kory also reviews the clear and present danger the COVID jab poses to women, especially if they\u2019re pregnant or want to get pregnant in the future. We also review the blatant fraud perpetrated by Pfizer to hide the massive number of miscarriages that occurred in its human trial.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, the miscarriage rate is 87.5%, which is just astounding. No woman in her right mind would pull that trigger if she had that information. We also discuss the worldwide drops in birth rates (which began after the rollout of these experimental jabs), the complete absence of any supporting data for the authorization of COVID shots for children (which is yet another medical fraud perpetrated on the American people), and the lie that COVID is a pandemic of the unvaccinated (it\u2019s actually the complete opposite).<\/p>\n<p>So, for more on those topics, please listen to the full interview, or read through the transcript.
