The situation is expected to get worse before it improves, and yet our public officials are sticking with their tired \u201cvaccine only\u201d containment strategy. The Biden Administration has even resorted to promoting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/health\/article-11439641\/White-House-offers-grocery-discounts-boost-lackluster-covid-booster-rates.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$20 dollar discounts<\/a> on groceries to boost flagging vaccine rates.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t have to be this way. Among the key takeaways from the 2022 elections was voters yearning for a sense of normalcy. The populace wants to turn the page on the pandemic and the containment strategies that have been imposed upon us.<\/p>\n<p>For doctors, that means returning to a pre-pandemic mindset of applying critical thinking and pushing back on misguided protocols and policies \u2014 especially those offered up by bullying public health agencies influenced by profit-making entities. Politicians talk about putting America first \u2014 for doctors, patients must always come first.<\/p>\n<p>For nearly three years, the world has been living in a fog. In the face of a once-in-a-century pandemic, a terrified populace was asked to comply with a widespread groupthink and accept the closing of our economy, schools, businesses, and churches. Masks and under-tested vaccines were mandated. Livelihoods for those who refused to go along were threatened.<\/p>\n<p>These measures have not aged well. It\u2019s no wonder the public yearns for normalcy.<\/p>\n<p>Consider the vaccines. After the federal government used its full force to spearhead a mass vaccine effort, serious questions have arisen about the products\u2019 safety. Never mind that the vaccines fell woefully short of preventing infection or transmission of the disease. According to a report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S027869152200206X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology<\/a>, mRNA injections can weaken the natural immune system, fueling deadly diseases such as heart problems and blood clots.<\/p>\n<p>Pfizer and Moderna, which have received billions of dollars from the U.S. government for COVID products, have now launched trials to determine whether there are any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/health\/article-11426007\/Pfizer-Moderna-launch-trials-track-issues-arise-YEARS-getting-vaccines.html?ito=social-twitter_mailonline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">long-term negative health impacts<\/a> caused by the vaccines that public health officials assured us were safe and forced many to get.<\/p>\n<p>Those who sounded the first alarms on the long-term dangers of the vaccines have been vindicated by solid, reproducible scientific data. Rigorous science doesn\u2019t lie. So now we know that after being dismissed, the physicians and researchers who mustered the courage to speak truth to power were right all along. They put patients first, at great personal risk.<\/p>\n<p>From the outset of the pandemic, the <a href=\"http:\/\/flccc.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance<\/a> (FLCCC) embraced and nourished an ethical ethos of medicine that rooted itself in the welfare of humanity. Our physicians, clinical advisors, alliance associates, staff, volunteers, patients, families, supporters, and colleagues who have locked arms to defend the Hippocratic Oath to \u2018do no harm\u2019 \u2014 along with legions around the world \u2014 have always put patients first.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, we were not rewarded for our efforts. Quite the opposite. California even passed a law that could strip medical professionals of their licenses to practice if deemed guilty of spreading \u201cmisinformation\u201d \u2014 that is, anything that deviates from official \u201ccontemporary scientific consensus.\u201d Of course, today\u2019s consensus is tomorrow\u2019s debunked information, but that has not stopped California bureaucrats in their quest to silence the scientific process. It has gotten so bad that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercurynews.com\/2022\/11\/14\/doctors-sue-to-block-california-covid-disinformation-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the ACLU<\/a> has intervened.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these roadblocks, we applied our patient-first principles and built a coalition of physicians, patients, and concerned citizens while fending off censorship and cancellation efforts. But as the world prepares to move beyond the COVID emergency, our shared ethical ethos of medicine and its core imperatives \u2014 to act with morality, compassion, and integrity \u2014 must endure. In its embrace, one and all are welcome.<\/p>\n<p>The holiday season is a time for healing, giving thanks, and reflecting. As we do so, we must open our eyes and clearly assess the havoc caused by the pandemic and respond with the highest degree of medical integrity to the ever-changing healthcare landscape it has created.<\/p>\n<p>Since COVID won\u2019t be our last global public health emergency, we must learn from our mistakes and build on our successes to better prepare. We have already issued new protocols for navigating the three-headed respiratory threat overrunning hospitals today \u2013 and it\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/covid19criticalcare.com\/treatment-protocols\/flu-rsv-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">comprehensive strategy<\/a> that goes beyond simply vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>It is time to open our hearts and loudly proclaim that patients must always be our priority \u2014 not power or profits.<\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t it time to put patients \u2014 and all the citizens of the world \u2014 first?<\/p>\n<p><em>Pierre Kory, M.D. is President and Chief Medical Officer of the <a href=\"https:\/\/covid19criticalcare.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are those of the author and not necessarily those of The Daily Wire.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heading into the Thanksgiving holiday, hospitals across the United States are overwhelmed by a potent three-headed respiratory monster of COVID, seasonal flu, and Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
