The Medical Masquerade – A Physician Exposes the Deceptions of Covid

More light is gradually being shed on the Covid era, though largely out of the mainstream, even if Dr Jay Bhattacharya – vilified at the time in connection with The Great Barrington Declaration – is now the Director of the NIH and there is a renewed interest in the promotion of health. The author speaks as an independent clinician in this illuminating series of articles concerning the transformation of a public health emergency into a biosecurity framework whereby the ‘vaccine’ becomes a medical countermeasure to a bioweapon jointly developed by the US in China – see my review of Debbie Lerman’s book in the last issue. As Freddie Sayers of Unherd has stated in his recent commentary on the UK government Covid commission costing over £200 million, it is largely a post-hoc justification of the policies followed, and fails to address any of the central issues raised in this book, including medical ethics.

The author argues that the four pillars of medical ethics were destroyed in the Covid response, along with medical freedom both in terms of informed consent and the clinical judgement of physicians with respect to early treatments. The real significance of masks was to instil fear and unquestioning obedience, itself a slippery slope towards totalitarianism, which also involved crushing dissidents, as was widespread and executed by pharma-supported medical associations. The real lesson here is that gain of function research should be banned worldwide, and the whole field of so-called pandemic preparedness radically reviewed. (pp. 144, 158) A further systemic problem is that no one claims responsibility for their actions, and those who were ultimately responsible have not been called to account, although that has recently been some admission of cardiovascular harm done to children who were obliged to take the vaccine, which, as we know, did not prevent either contraction or transmission of the disease. The main lesson to learn is not to go along with such policies in the future if another such emergency occurs or is contrived.
