Session IV of our fifth symposium, In the Midst of Darkness Light Prevails, focussed on the methods by which doctors’ have been persecuted for seeking to protect their patients and the public, and the dangers that this poses to society. The Session concluded with a documentary examining these and other abuses enacted under COVID-19 through the lens of the psychology of mass atrocity.

Introduction

Journalist Taylor Hudak MA introduced Session IV by acknowledging the many courageous doctors and scientists who have been persecuted for telling the truth about COVID-19 and offering early treatments. “Without them we could not be here doing what we’re doing today, and could not fight effectively to restore our fundamental freedoms and human rights.”

Doctors and Ethics: A Series on the Suppression of Doctors and Scientists During the COVID Crisis.

The Session began with the stories of two doctors who have been persecuted for telling the truth and treating their patients, Dr Thomas Binder and Dr Ryan Cole.

16 minutes

Dr Thomas Binder

Taylor Hudak presented selections of an interview that she had conducted with Swiss Cardiologist Dr Thomas Binder MD, courtesy of The Last American Vagabond. In early 2020, as a result of his efforts to provide the public with accurate information, Dr Binder was confronted by 60 armed police officers, held in a psychiatric unit, diagnosed with ‘corona Insanity’, which is a fictitious disorder, and placed on mandatory psychiatric medication for questioning lockdowns and other measures.

Dr Binder recalled his amazement in February 2020 when he saw that everything he had learned in medical school was being turned upside down. He said that he felt it was his duty as a doctor to inform the populace, fellow doctors and politicians about the unscientific nature of practices such as using the wrong indication to test, administering the wrong test, pursuing a zero COVID policy, and so-on. Dr Binder wrote emails and blogs, expecting that within a week or so sense would prevail, and the unscientific COVID narrative would collapse.

Instead, on the evening of Easter Saturday in 2020, as he was finishing work before going on holiday with his wife, he described being “brutally arrested” at his medical practice by a 60-strong “hardcore anti-terrorism unit with machine guns.” Upon finding no threat nor basis for arrest, the unit called in a medical examiner, who issued the concocted diagnosis of ‘corona insanity’ and placed Dr Binder in a padded cell for 36 hours. He was offered the option of six more weeks’ psychiatric confinement, or release conditional upon taking psychiatric medication, with compliance monitored by weekly blood tests.

“These are really Soviet style, GDR style psychiatric methods,” he said.

Dr Ryan Cole

American Pathologist Dr Ryan Cole MD recounted his experiences of persecution in an interview with Aga Wilson, courtesy of Children’s Health Defense Europe.

Dr Cole described first being attacked and defamed by newspapers and the media for talking about early treatments and medicines, and speaking against the gene-based shot. Next, the boards of medicine accused him of ‘misinformation’, ‘disinformation’ and ‘malinformation’ without defining what those terms meant. He was also attacked by medical boards for providing treatments that worked. He noted that even among his elderly and vulnerable clients, not one was hospitalized and not one passed on, and not one of his patients ever developed long haul symptoms, because “they all got treated early.”

Then the insurance companies, upon whose payments his work depends, began cancelling his contracts for ‘unprofessional behaviour’, again without defining what that meant. “Little by little they chipped away, taking away my business,” Dr Cole explained. Next the College of American Pathology, for whom he had been a state inspector and national spokesperson, retracted his fellowship, and reported him to the National Provider Databank. This triggered numerous state licensing boards to start investigating him, which put him through a “literal psychological hell, professional hell, after having a perfect career… So my business is almost gone. As of next Friday I officially don’t have my lab any more.”

"And now because of the bureaucratic abilities of these corrupt organizations to lie and attack, with the support of our Federal Government behind them, they've been able to destroy the lives of the most important, critically thinking independent doctors in our nation."

Taylor Hudak noted that with both Dr Thomas Binder’s persecution on false psychiatric grounds, and Dr Cole’s subjection to a literal psychological hell, we are seeing “the weaponization of psychology and mental health to demonize dissenting voices.”

Dr Meryl Nass: Doctor Hunting and Fighting Back

Meryl Nass: 15 minutes 30 seconds, followed by a panel discussion: 21 minutes

Dr Meryl Nass MD outlined the formal organizational structures and strategies behind persecution of doctors in the United States. She explained that she had her own license suspended without a hearing 11 months previously. “Why?” she asked. “Because we are in the middle of a coup.” It is a coup for dictatorial power, she said, using laws dating back 20 years that enable national and regional leaders to usurp and abuse power by declaring a public health emergency. Silencing and controlling doctors has been critical to this endeavour.

Dr Nass described a series of developments behind the targeting of doctors in the United States, whereby:

• Money and political appointments were used to control public health agencies, medical institutions, medical and other media, and nonprofit medical organizations
• Since March 2020 the US Congress appropriated $5 trillion in spending, much of it “to bribe institutions of medicine”
• Imaginary medical ‘crimes’ were devised, with undefined ‘misinformation’ as “the big one”
• New organizations sprung up to police the imaginary crimes, demonize doctors and incite witch-hunts, such as ‘No License for Disinformation‘

• The private organisation Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) issued a statement in July 2021 advocating suspension or revocation of doctors’ licenses for failing to conform to a “consensus-driven” approach’. (“What is the ‘consensus’?” Dr Nass asked. “Who creates the ‘consensus’? Doctors have never been told they have to go in lockstep with someone’s imaginary consensus.”) She explained that the little-known FSMB “has a lot of control over licensure”. It serves all licensing boards in the US [and elsewhere], and although it doesn’t hold regulatory authority, it provides training and tells licensing boards “what policies to put forward”
• After about 1/4 of US medical boards began disciplining doctors in line with the FSMB advice, several state legislatures and Attorneys General pushed back, prompting to FSMB to change its advice in April 2022. It then encouraged state medial boards to attack doctors on grounds other than ‘disinformation’, such as ‘unprofessional conduct’, consistent with what happened to Dr Ryan Cole
• As of December 2022 California and British Columbia (BC) [like Australia] are seeking to criminalize doctors’ speech under new laws, with up to $200,000 in fines or two years’ jail in BC

On fighting back, Dr Nass described:

• Legal challenges to the California gag law, including by Children’s Health Defense
• A list of cases in which bodily autonomy has been upheld by US courts, which can be used to support doctors issuing vaccine waivers
• An opinion by the Nebraska Attorney General in October 2021 with 48 pages of reasons why government information on Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin is untrue, and a list of false or contradictory statements by the NIH, the CDC, the FDA and the WHO that can be used to support doctors’ defenses
• Inviolable rights to freedom of speech, opinion, and expression based on the First Amendment of the US Constitution, the 1948 Universal Declaration Human Rights, and the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, with which Dr Nass encouraged doctors to familiarise themselves
• A case brought by the Attorneys General of Missouri and Louisiana and the New Civil Liberties Alliance against illegal collusion between federal agencies (including the FBI) and social media companies, whereby the US government appears to have paid off and threatened social media companies into censoring doctors and scientists
• An important victory by eminent French infectious diseases expert Christian Perronne in October 2022, involving all charges against him by medical authorities being dismissed, and a ruling that he had an obligation to speak out about what he saw as wrong

Finally Dr Nass stressed that this is not just about doctors. This is about all of us, our medical care, and our future. She urged viewers to talk to everyone they know about what is happening, before “the jaws of this electronic concentration camp snap closed around us.”

Panel Discussion

From 15 minutes 30s at the video above

Taylor Hudak and Dr Meryl Nass were joined for a panel discussion by Dr Liz Evans, co-founder and director of the Medical Freedom Alliance.

Dr Liz Evans talked about the dangers of weaponizing terms such as ‘disinformation’ and ‘misinformation’ in order to stifle debate, which strikes at the very heart of the scientific method. The system this creates is one in which arbiters of truth [who are often political appointees and bureaucrats] get to dictate reality, which is ripe for abuse she said.

Dr Evans added that the emerging laws criminalizing doctors’ speech prevent doctors from abiding by their codes of ethics, which revolve around patient-centred medicine. In patient-centred medicine the doctor’s obligation is to the patient, not the government, bureaucrats or the NHS. She called the model that is emerging now “medicine-by-legislation”, where the doctor is “completely de-professionalized and is just an agent of the state.” Doctors need to stand together and reclaim their profession, she said. “If people stand together it’s much harder to pick them off.”

Dr Evans highlighted a number of UK initiatives in which doctors are uniting to defend medicine and medical ethics, including the World Council for Health Doctors’ Declaration, and a group called Doctors for Patients UK, who stand for evidence-based, ethical, patient-centred medicine. She encouraged everyone watching to demand medical ethics of their doctors: “call them out about consent,” she advised. She stressed that medical ethics exist to protect patients, and that medicine without ethics is unsafe for us all.

The Psychology of Covid-19 Atrocities

41 minutes 20s

Session IV concluded with a powerful documentary summarising an article published on Unlimited Hangout: Covid-19: Mass Formation or Mass Atrocity? The article and video analyse the abuses enacted under COVID-19 through the lens of the psychology of mass atrocity. The analysis stresses the importance of active rather than passive bystanding, the dangers of targeting active bystanders, for instance as “conspiracy theorists”, and the importance of holding atrocity’s instigators to account. The video summary, with audiovisuals by Daniel Broudy and text by David Hughes, Valerie Kyrie and Daniel Broudy, contains compelling footage of state violence and vaccine casualties never-to-be-seen on prime time TV.
