Thank you for this article. One of the major changes in health care over the last decades has been that most doctors have left private practice and now work for hospitals. This makes the hospital the boss of the doctor rather than the patient. This happened in part because payments to physicians from insurance companies and medicare and medicaid have decreased significantly. How can that be says the person holding a hospital bill showing a large physician fee? That fee is meaningless. The physician will get paid whatever insurance or the government deems and it will likely be much less of than what is shown on the bill. Private practice doctors can no longer afford their overhead and stay in business. My husband manages it by flying to another state and providing locum service for an undeserved area for 1 week a month.

My husband was able to speak out and advocate for early covid treatment because he is his own boss - and that underserved hospital in another state needs him and is not going to fire him. His patients were grateful to receive true informed consent about vaccines and other covid related issues. They were grateful he would provide guidelines for improved immune function and early treatment if needed.

What I do not understand is how the Church, both local and the Vatican, let Fauci drive their messaging about Covid. Fauci has a notorious background as far as exploitive research and his behavior during the AIDS crisis. This was not unknown - my husband told me about it in early 2020! I do not understand why such a man has been allowed at conferences at the Vatican for the last several years. I do not understand why what he said was taken as gospel despite the raised concern voices of other expert physicians and researchers who were more experienced in the care of patients and epidemiology than Fauci. These doctors had nothing to gain and much to lose by speaking up. Fauci, on the other hand is financial tied to the vaccines. His NAID department has partial ownership of Moderna patents.

The mantra “we are following CDC guidelines” was an easy out. I nearly switched to the Orthodox church when I saw the Vatican recommending healthy children be vaccinated. As if the sex abuse crisis was not enough, now the next years may show a number of children and young adults damaged by vaccine mandates coming from Catholic colleges and schools. Will the Church foot the bill for the myocarditis, neuropathies and even deaths that have and will occur in a cohort that does not suffer fatalities when healthy? Since when do we advocate risking the health of children to shield the aged? The Church will be on the wrong side of history here.
