If you have scurvy and I'm a doctor I cannot prescribe you drink a glass of orange juice, because under the law oranges are not an FDA approved medicine. Only an approved by the FDA drug is entitled to treat a disease, even if you are minutes away from dying.

So much for the Hippocratic oath!

I swear by Apollo Healer, by Asclepius, by Hygieia, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture.

To hold my teacher in this art equal to my own parents; to make him partner in my livelihood; when he is in need of money to share mine with him; to consider his family as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they want to learn it, without fee or indenture; to impart precept, oral instruction, and all other instruction to my own sons, the sons of my teacher, and to indentured pupils who have taken the Healer’s oath, but to nobody else.

I will use those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgment, and I will do no harm or injustice to them. [6] Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. But I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art. I will not use the knife, not even, verily, on sufferers from stone, but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein.

Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free. And whatsoever I shall see or hear in the course of my profession, as well as outside my profession in my intercourse with men, if it be what should not be published abroad, I will never divulge, holding such things to be holy secrets.

Now if I carry out this oath, and break it not, may I gain for ever reputation among all men for my life and for my art; but if I break it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me.

Now they say they never banned ivermectin, only recommended against it. Tell that to the doctors who got in trouble for prescribing it and the pharmacies whose shipments got seized.

What a shameful period for the medical and pharmaceutical industry and the regulatory agencies. Add it to the list. Lots of it to go around.
Very shameful. There are no words. And what about the fake studies, designed to fail? Pharmacy boards practicing medicine without a license, announcing ad hoc “rules” for dispensing certain medications?

Mandating unapproved experimental vaccines? Destroying people’s careers and livelihoods over absurd claims - like, saying that CoViD is a pandemic of the unvaccinated?

Could go on, like, forever. Btw, the vaccines were never approved, as far as I know. They were used all along under emergency use authorizations. Makes the mandates even more irrational.

One more thing - how come WION, an Indian network - is so informative compared to ours?
