"The COVID-19 crisis of 2020 to 2022 has exposed for all to see how evidence-based medicine has been corrupted by the governments, hospitalists, academia, big pharma, tech and social media. They have leveraged the processes and rationale of evidence-based medicine to corrupt the entire medical enterprise."

"Patients die because of the adverse impact of commercial interests on the research agenda, universities, and regulators."

"And the billion dollars spent by the US Government to promote these EUA/unlicensed 'vaccine' products that do not prevent infection or transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This is a direct assault on our first amendment rights. It also skews evidence-based medicine."

"The government must stop picking winners and losers. Evidence-based medicine requires a non-biased playing field. Industry concerns about privacy and intellectual property rights should not hold sway. If we are ever to trust and support the concept of evidence-based medicine again, significant changes to the system must be enacted. The only question is" is our government up to the job?"

Conclusions

The loss of evidence-based medicine explains the justifiable loss of public confidence in the entire medical and public health establishment. Well-motivated people can access medical data on the web and see how government dictates are worthless propaganda. But not everyone takes the time to discover good data.

The wide use of the term "follow the science" was a semantic trick by the powerful forces corrupting the system to intentionally fool the public. As they were lying about following the science, they were destroying the evidence-based paradigm that had been cherished by most medical professionals. And that best served patients.

Patients could no longer trust their doctors. Now, they don't know whether their doctors are merely following protocols and mandates coming from government agencies or their corporate employers. Patients are not getting personalized medicine. Their doctors are not likely following the latest research and data (which takes considerable time) that may conflict with what government agencies, medical societies and corporate health employers are dictating.

But what must be said is that there are a minority of independent physicians who still use evidence=based medicine to best serve their patients. They run medical practices independent of corporate health entities. They are likely to be members of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons and America's Frontline Doctors. They are likely to be doctors using alternatives to COVID vaccines and teaching their patients to pursue lifestyles that ensure strong immune systems and avoid chronic medical problems like obesity and diabetes.

They are not doctors blindly following the positions of the big medical societies that are blindly following government positions. All this blindness explains why the medicines that could have saved most lives from COVID infection were not used. And so now we have over one million dead from COVID, and over one million people who have gotten adverse health impacts from COVID vaccines. The medical establishment is a disgrace.
