Tucker Carlson - Ep. 81 They’re still claiming the Covid vax is safe and effective. Yet somehow Dr. Pierre Kory treats hundreds of patients who’ve been badly injured by it. Why is no one in the public health establishment paying attention?
Dr. Pierre Kory exposes how COVID-19 vaccines—marketed as "safe and effective"—correlate with 158,000 U.S. excess deaths in 2023 and 4 million new disability claims, disproportionately striking young, employed individuals, a pattern he calls "unprecedented." Treating 1,200+ patients, Kory finds 70% suffer from "long vax," including ME-CFS-like symptoms, yet the medical establishment ignores vaccine injury while funneling $1.2 billion into irrelevant long COVID research. He accuses journals like NEJM of suppressing dissent—citing ivermectin censorship—and links systemic corruption to a 40% life insurance spike in 25–44-year-olds post-vaccination, yet no accountability exists for officials who pushed vaccines despite known risks. Kory demands open data and legal reforms, framing the crisis as a deliberate betrayal of public trust. [Automatically generated summary]
Of course, they were neither safe nor effective, and that was obvious right away, as people who took the vaccine continued to get COVID, and more ominously, as some of them began to die.
And a lot of them, probably people around you, got sick in ways that no one anticipated.
Anyone watching this carefully, and watching it at all, would know both of those things.
And yet, most physicians in this country lied about it, continued to lie about it, and to this day lie about it.
That's the topic of another show.
Today, we'd like to introduce you to someone who bravely told the truth, regardless of the cost, to himself personally, and that's Dr. Pierre Corey.
He's the president and chief medical officer of the Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, and he joins us now.
Thanks so much for coming on.
And the point is really not to resurrect an incredibly painful moment in the country's history.
It hurt even to watch that.
Why aren't these people in jail?
But to assess the cost now.
So you hear, and one of the reasons I'm so grateful you hear is because I think you're a responsible science-based person who's practiced medicine for decades and what you say can be trusted.
Do we have any real sense of what the cost, the physical cost, to the country and world has been of those vaccines?
The alarming data that I've been writing about is just in 2023 alone, in the first nine months, we had what's called an excess mortality of 158,000 Americans.
Now, that's compared to baseline death rates in this country to before the pandemic.
But this is in 2023. I mean, we've had Omicron now for two years, which is a mild variant.
Not that many go to the hospital.
When you look at what's driving those 158,000 deaths, and by the way, that's more than all wars since Vietnam.
So why is the healthiest, most educated, wealthiest sectors of our labor force dying at higher rates than those that are what are called gray-collar, like cops and teachers, versus blue-collar?
And you have to ask yourself, what happened in the American world?
And the most telling is really the data from the group life insurance industry because Group life insurance is generally you're talking about Fortune 500 companies, right?
So those of us who work for employers that offer us group life health insurance tend to be large corporations that have the kind of resources that they can support their labor force that way.
And when you look at the group life insurance industry, that was kind of the canary in the coal mine is when we started to see the reports in the life insurance industry where you saw in the third quarter of 2021 Just immense.
A doubling of the death rates in age groups of 25 to 34 and 35 to 44. And in one quarter, you just saw this explosion in dying.
And that comes from CEOs of the life insurance industry, right?
So one of the big sort of events was at the end of 2021, the CEO of One America, one of the largest life insurance companies, at a Chamber of Commerce meeting in Indianapolis, said that they were observing An increase in life insurance claims of 40%.
Now, let's put that in context.
He also said a rise of 10% year to year.
Remember, this is life insurance industry.
How do they make their money?
Predicting death rates very accurately, setting premiums appropriately so that there's a profit.
If they see a 10% unexpected rise in a certain sector of society, that is a 1 in 200 year event.
And here he says that they're seeing 40% unprecedented outside of wartime.
Outside of some major terrorist event, what could be causing such an explosion in dying of healthy, employed people?
And this is the secret that we know.
This is almost like private knowledge, because we can't bring this private knowledge out into common knowledge.
There's very few vehicles to do that.
I think you've given the opportunity for many of us who have this private, really disturbing knowledge.
Well, I think if I, you know, looking at your, kind of the montage you showed before we started to talk, you know, that refrain of safe and effective, it's my kind of belief, looking back at now, is that was a predetermined conclusion.
There was no data to support that, but it was agreed upon that it would be presented as safe and effective.
And for those of us who were a little bit more skeptical, more data-driven, we saw that it was based on Really no data.
Well, that's a criminal act that you're describing.
So, I mean, I could ask you so many different questions about why the people who made that claim and abetted the killing of all these Americans aren't being held to criminal liability for that.
But, now there was a lawyer.
What was the effect on your life when you started to describe the data you were seeing?
So people started to come to me complaining of lots of different problems after the vaccine.
And, you know, I was advocating for a lot of things, fighting censorship propaganda.
There's lots of lies that were told in COVID. I mean, the vaccine's one set of lies.
The suppression of early treatment drugs is another.
And they were kind of mirror images of each other.
They both had the same goals.
Slightly different tactics, but propaganda and censorship were the main weapons.
So I've been kind of fighting one war and then got very interested in the vaccines because I saw a huge need.
I've started to meet lots of vaccine injuries, started to work with some of those nonprofits.
You know my nonprofit, which is we're a medical education organization focused solely on developing treatment protocols for all phases of COVID. Prevention, treatment, long vacs, long COVID. But then we started to get really interested in vaccine injury because it was a new disease.
It was a new problem.
And I also want to tell you another deception.
The entire country medical system calls the chronic problems after COVID, they call it long COVID, right?
You've heard of the term disease long COVID. So I'm an expert at it.
But the reality is, if you look at my practice, maybe 1,200 patients.
70% are long vax, not long COVID, meaning all of their issues, the syndrome, started after the vaccine, not COVID. The vast majority are long vaccines.
So the only disease that's recognized in this country is long COVID. All the academic medical centers, they have these little long COVID clinics.
It's not vaccine injury clinics.
It's long COVID clinics.
There's this constant burying of the role of the vaccine in what's befallen society.
I mean, a week ago, a paper was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, I just saw it this morning, where they actually surveyed people's attitudes towards the agencies and the vaccines.
And a majority, about half to 60%, all have concerns over whether these things are safe.
Now, I don't think that was going to be the answer two years ago, but a good portion of society now is now questioning not only whether the agencies are telling the truth when they make these proclamations, but you can see it in their hesitancy to get the boosters.
I mean, those numbers are plummeting.
So I do think that people are slowly becoming aware.
But for those of us who've been aware for a long time and have been trying to fight to get people informed, It's been a war.
It's been a long couple of years.
And all of us have suffered from censorship, loss of jobs.
I've lost three jobs in COVID from my advocacy and expertise.
For serious reasons, I saw what I thought was unethical behavior that was early in COVID. The second one is because I gave public testimony in the Senate around the use of ivermectin.
And then the third one, it's pretty clear that that came from outside.
I mean, if you look at my partners, right, so my organization, we call ourselves the FLCCC, founded by Professor Paul Merrick, who's the most published practicing intensivist in the history of our specialty.
He was railroaded out of his hospital with a sheaf of complaints about his behavior after 30 years as a physician, as a celebrated physician who's won awards, lectured all over the world.
Suddenly he has...
Eight complaints, and they get rid of his privileges.
My other colleague, Umberto Maduri, one of the world experts on the use of corticosteroids, he works for the VA, which is the federal government, and he gets pressure to resign.
They told him they would take his pension if he didn't resign, and he was also privately told that that information came from Washington.
And I've seen this in some of my other colleagues.
Jim Thorpe, one of the most outspoken OB-GYNs in the country, he lost his job, even being the most productive physician in that group.
We know that the pressure's coming outside.
They need us to lose our jobs so that we lose credibility, so that we lose our voice, because nobody wants to listen to someone who is uncredible.
They do this to Bobby Kennedy all the time to try to censor him, right?
Because if they can't get you to shut up, they just take away your reputation.
I don't want to make excuses for people's behavior, but I will be generous and say I think many of them trafficked in a toxic medical intervention.
I think many can claim ignorance because I think most physicians are victims of the lies propagated.
In the high-impact journals.
That is a whole issue.
What's happened to the high-impact medical journals over the last several decades, how they've been completely captured and run by the pharmaceutical industry, means that the pharmaceutical industry can get doctors to believe whatever they want.
It's New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, The Lancet, the BMJ, and Annals of Internal Medicine.
But there's a few others.
But when you get a paper in there, I mean, that's like, you know, planting a stake in the ground of truth, right?
And so if you get a paper, a review paper saying that something's safe and effective, those doctors are now responsible to inform you because this is the heights of science.
This is the best journals done by the best.
This is the impression they have.
And I got to tell you, Tucker, this is what I believed before COVID. I literally...
I idolized, deified those journals.
I really thought the best science and scientists were published there.
And through this journey in the world.
In the world, by far.
And to get a paper in there, I thought it would have to be, you know, airtight, best study design, most meticulous data keeping and analysis.
And what I've discovered is that's not true.
And it hasn't been true for a long time.
And former editors of those journals are on record.
They've written books.
As long as 20 years ago, the former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, a woman named Dr. Marsha Angel, she wrote that over half of what's published in those journals, you should not be believed.
And she was a 20-year editor of the top journal in the world.
Former editors of the BMJ have tried to say that these warnings have been put out, but they're suppressed.
We don't have a class in medical school, by the way, of...
Pharmaceutical industry influence in medicine.
I think that should be a required curriculum for anyone going into medicine.
But we are purposely kept in the dark as to how controlled and how much financial interests are involved in everything.
The guidelines we read, the studies that are done, the studies that are not done.
So there's things that they don't want to study because they don't afford profits to the system.
It's gotten really dark for me.
The way I look at science and medicine now is extremely different.
I think my understanding of pharmaceutical industry corruption was like at the level of the drug rep, you know, the very pretty or handsome drug rep who comes in with the high heels and a nice smile and gives pens and invites you to dinner.
I thought it was that kind of corruption was like most of what they did.
Now that's like the icing on the cake.
They literally bake the cake.
Going back to your original question, they can get doctors to believe whatever they want to get doctors to believe.
And doctors still have an implicit faith and trust in the institutions of science, including which is the agency.
So agency heads, when they make a proclamation on national television, that's considered to be scientific.
Truth.
Something published in a high-impact medical journal is scientific truth.
So they believe these institutions without knowing that they've been captured.
It's corporate America that's building dollar stores in your neighborhood.
It's corporate America that employs the HR morons who scold you and try to dehumanize you.
You hate to think we've gotten to a place where corporate America is as great a threat to you as, say, the federal government under Joe Biden, but it is.
So what do you do about it?
Well, we recently discovered a marketplace that is doing its very best to change that.
It's called Public Square.
And it's established a new way of conducting commerce by connecting you with over 80,000 small businesses that may share your values.
It feels good to put your money where your values are.
No, no, but why do they, I mean, so, you know, I understand everything you're saying and I'm trying to be compassionate and I've been misled many times in my life.
And so people can be misled, of course.
But if you have a massive rise in life insurance claims and group policies, even I understand that is, wait, slow down, what's going on.
I mean, I would say things have changed in the last few months, so...
Since August, myself and my writing partner, Mary Beth Pfeiffer, a really terrific investigative journalist who first wrote a book looking at the chronic Lyme disease.
She's done great work throughout COVID, and she and I have now written three op-eds in USA Today, Newsweek, and then a couple weeks ago, The Hill.
And each op-ed is a little bit more, it's calling attention to all of the excess death, like why is our government and our public health agencies not doing anything about this?
I mean, they literally have one job, which is to protect public health.
And they're sitting on an unprecedented surge in dying of Americans, the youngest and healthiest of Americans, and they seem to not be questioning that.
And so we are trying to...
Call attention to that.
And I would say the last one that got published in The Hill, that seemed to create a little bit of a news cycle.
You know, I was on Fox with Laura Ingraham.
I think she was interested in learning more about this.
And we've seen that, you know, there's a little bit of social media traction, but there's no official governmental recognition.
Now, they've put out papers showing that they're aware of the mortality, but no follow-up.
They just, or they'll give a list of reasons, right?
Like the list of reasons, well, they don't always get as ridiculous as global warming, but they get close.
Just trying to explain away this sudden surge in death, and it can't be done.
Remember, there is no such thing as vaccine injury syndrome, although I specialize and I have a whole practice which focuses on it.
It's all long COVID. So let's just pretend that they're studying vaccine injury with long COVID. $1.2 billion has been dedicated to funding long COVID research.
This is as of two months ago.
Only four trials were set up to enroll patients.
Only one trial was ready to enroll patients, and that was a trial studying Paxlovid.
If anyone could ever tell me one rational reason why that would work in long COVID, I'm all ears.
There's no justifiable rationale for why you would study Paxlovid.
Now, why you would want to study Paxlovid, that I can easily answer.
It's a very profitable drug for a certain pharmaceutical company, but literally we're three years into the pandemic.
We don't have, like, a really good...
Response into studying and treating long COVID. Instead, it's me and a whole network of colleagues and my organization that are really sharing experiences, insights into pathophysiology.
We're doing reviews of a lot of basic science studies showing us what the mechanisms of injury are from the spike protein, from the virus, from the vaccine.
And we're trying to marshal mechanistic therapies.
But it's like we're out here in the Wild West doing it on our own.
And it's really a shame because it doesn't have to be this way.
So why do you think, and I think you speak for the overwhelming majority of Americans, when you think our basics, you know, we've got flaky politicians or weird seasons, but the systems, the institutions that make this not third world...
Or totally sound.
I think everyone thought that.
I thought that.
But what about you allowed you to see what was happening and be honest about it?
Well, I've always questioned orthodoxy, especially in medicine.
From early on when I was a doctor, when I would come in, and especially after I got some training, and I would come into a new ICU or a new hospital, and I'd see how they were treating, for instance, kidney injury.
And I'd be like, that's weird.
That's like...
Data from 15 years ago.
Like, why aren't we doing it this way?
We now know this, this, and this.
And that could apply to almost any heart failure, heart attacks.
I knew there was evidence showing more insight and more effective therapies.
But yeah, we were doing stuff in the past.
And I just think change in medicine comes very slowly.
And I was always an early adopter.
I like to study new novel therapies.
And so I was actually, you know, I talked about Paul Merrick.
I was celebrated in my specialty.
Pretty well known nationally and even internationally because I was a pioneer in a field called critical care ultrasonography.
And a textbook that I was the senior editor of is like one of the best-selling textbooks in that field around the world.
It's seven languages.
And so I taught for years around the country doctors this new skill on how to use ultrasound to make life-saving diagnoses.
Like critically ill, you know, patients crashing, you put a probe on their chest, you could see what their heart was doing, the right ventricle, left ventricle, the lungs were full of fluid.
So it was this huge, like...
It changed my life when I learned ultrasound.
I felt like I was a super doctor, like a doctor with superpowers.
And I tried to teach those powers.
It became standard of care.
Now there's not an ICU in the country that doesn't have an ultrasound machine in it.
Most critical care doctors now get trained.
There's certification exams that you can do.
And that's what I did for most of my career.
And I got interested in something called therapeutic hypothermia, which is how to treat patients after cardiac arrest with brain injury.
And I'll just finish by saying when COVID came...
You know, I was like, game on.
I mean, I was 50 years old.
I'm a pulmonary critical care physician.
I saw pulmonary critical care disease literally enveloping the world.
And I just, I think, innately just committed to learning everything I could to figure out how to treat it.
And I had some giants around me.
I had Paul Maric around me.
I had Umberto Maduri around me, Joe Frone, you know, and Jose Iglesias.
That's kind of the five ICU docs that started our organization.
And all we did was read papers.
And the emails, like preprint servers and...
The papers that we were reading and then we were fashioning protocols and we were learning stuff that worked and what didn't and just...
It was this frenetic push and it's something that they should have had...
They should have done that at the governmental level.
Had like a group of committed frontline clinicians have a seat at the table.
No clinician has ever been given a seat at the table.
And like Paul says, you know, my partner, he says, you know, there is no disease you cannot treat.
And there is really simple stuff that we knew that would help fortify immune systems and help protect against severe disease that we thought that are super safe, that on a risk-benefit precautionary principle, we should have, as a rule, just recommended vitamin D for one.
We should add a vitamin D, you know, supplementation campaign nationwide.
It would have been very easy to do.
Now, as an aside, vitamin D has been one of the most attacked substances over the last three or four decades by the pharmaceutical industry.
Yes, like vitamin D. Vitamin D is a whole other discussion, but they're terrified of vitamin D. If you find yourself terrified of vitamins, you're probably on the wrong side.
They deployed this information, and I didn't understand what was going on, Tucker, because when I, for instance, I gave testimony in a Senate hearing for the first time in May of 2020, had nothing to do with ivermectin.
I just said that it was critically important that corticosteroids be used in the hospital phase of the disease.
I was attacked widely for saying that, even by my own university.
They did not want me talking to the press.
And that was based on the expert opinion of...
My group, Humberto Madhuri was one of them, like I said, one of the world experts in lung injury and corticosteroids, myself and Paul.
And we were validated there because two months later, a trial came out of Oxford showing that huge mortality reductions when you use corticosteroids.
And now it's the standard of care worldwide.
Six months later, I go back.
Now I'm an expert at an early treatment drug, which is ivermectin, do the same testimony.
It goes viral on a Fox News website, which was the most watched.
It got up to 9 million views.
And then it was taken down in the middle of the night.
And this is before the fraudulent trials, which showed that it supposedly didn't work.
So they had no data to show it didn't work.
All the data showed that it worked.
Now, they changed that equation using disinformation.
But the point is, I couldn't figure out.
Like, I gave that testimony.
The Associated Press did a hit job on me within two days.
They sent the reporter.
Buried her with all this data, all these trials, all these health ministries, you know, in South America and other places that were literally obliterating COVID. And she wrote an article about how it's another drug to be debunked like hydroxychloroquine.
And then she even wrote about some couple who drank like a fish cleaner or something like that.
This was in an article interviewing me about ivermectin.
It turned into this.
We actually filed an ethics complaint.
This is how naive I was at the time.
This is almost two years ago.
Or over two years ago.
We filed an ethics complaint with the Associated Press.
We were so disturbed by this article.
We didn't know that the fix was in.
But the point of that story is, when he sent me the article, the link to that article, I read it, and it was like my mind exploded.
I suddenly saw the world differently.
Because every tactic that they described, I had a dozen examples of in relation to ivermectin and even hydroxychloroquine.
And so I saw that myself and our organization were literally like the bad news bears fighting like a war, a global disinformation campaign trying to destroy early effective treatment drugs in order to prop up this vaccine campaign.
But what you're really saying is that the drug companies applied pressure to the medical establishment to withhold life-saving treatment so that people would have no option but the vaccine.
Differently, I think all of it starts at the level of the medical journals, because once you have something established in the medical journals as a, let's say, a proven fact or a generally accepted consensus, consensus comes out of the journals.
So I think that's the core of the corruption.
And what I, in fact, in my book, I document very well, in particular, just using the example of ivermectin, does not have to be about ivermectin, but...
I mean, I have dozens of rejection letters from investigators around the world who did good trials on ivermectin, tried to publish it, no thank you, no thank you, no thank you.
And then the ones that do get in all purportedly prove that ivermectin didn't work.
And then when you look at the ones that actually got in, and this is where, like, probably my biggest estrangement and why I don't...
Recognize science and don't trust it anymore, is the trials that flew to publication in the top journals of the world were so brazenly manipulated and corrupted in the design and conduct, and many of us wrote about it, but they flew to publication.
And then every time they were published, you saw these huge PR campaigns in the media, New York Times, Boston Globe, LA Times.
Ivermectin doesn't work, latest high-quality rigorous study says.
I'm sitting here in my office watching these lies just ripple throughout the media sphere based on fraudulent studies published in the top journals.
And that has changed.
That's why I say I'm estranged and I don't know what to trust anymore.
I think that's a complex topic, although I don't want to get political here, but I did listen to an interview with Bobby Kennedy, and I heard this.
I never forgot it because to me, it spoke to my heart, but he said if he were to ever become president, one of his first orders of business would to call into the Oval Office.
the chief editors of all the top journals and tell them, clean up your act or I'm going after you with RICO statute as a racketeering operation, which is interesting because the name of the chapter, there's a chapter in my book called The Editorial Mafia.
And so when I heard that Bobby Kennedy was going to bring these guys in the Oval Office and threaten them with RICO statute, I was like, oh, he knows what he's doing.
He knows exactly what the problem is and what to do about it.
But as far as reform, going back to maybe this current issue that you kind of invited me to talk about, which is this just unprecedented excess mortality that we're observing, not only in this I don't know if you follow, but the UK, there's a couple of brave politicians there trying to bring this issue to the forefront.
Australia, Canada, a lot of the advanced health economies of the world are seeing really large and unexplained excess mortalities, even as COVID has waned in severity.
But in order to address this, I mean, first of all, this is the clearest indictment of our public health agencies, which is just their inaction.
The knowledge that this is occurring and they're not doing anything tells you that they have failed.
It is the most...
Clear evidence that they have failed and are failing.
If they were functioning, this would be a major public health initiative.
There would be lots of funding.
You'd have tons of studies looking at causes.
And these studies are easy, by the way, because they could do one thing that no one has done in advanced health economies, which is give us open source, rigorous data of vaccination status and outcomes.
We want to know who's unvaccinated, who's vaccinated, and how they're doing.
And they try to avoid doing that.
So there are solutions to doing it, but I think you need people free of conflicts.
I think we need industry to get involved, not just the academics and the agency folks.
But for instance, get someone whose conflicts of interest...
Would promote a study like this, like the insurance industry.
They are looking into a shellacking.
They are getting hammered.
Look at how much they're paying out.
And you can see it in some of the industry trade magazines.
They literally have never paid out this much money.
And keep in mind, you pay out a policy on a 32-year-old.
How much money have you lost compared to when you pay one out on a 58-year-old?
And there is a collaborative of insurance guys that I've worked with.
And by the way, I was on a call a year and a half ago.
I was invited to present data to a group from a whole bunch of different life insurance companies.
Almost all of them had their cameras off and almost none said anything.
I would say about 30 people on the call.
Only two people actually had their cameras off and were asking detailed questions.
But they showed up.
And I found out from the guys who organized it that many of them were like under the CEO. It wasn't the CEO showing up, but, you know, they sent someone there to listen.
And so they're well aware of this.
And if you think about the insurance industry, right, how much they've done to protect the health of the country, again, in their interest, but like automobile safety with seatbelts, fire codes, electrical codes, nautical, building, right?
All of those things, obviously, it protects their business, but it also protects our health.
And I would just like to see maybe some...
Somebody who's interested in finding out the answer, why everyone's dying, I mean, I think that industry wants to know that answer more than any other, and they have the resources to do it.
But I think government and other medical experts need to help, and they need to be of a diverse spectrum and transparent.
So how, this is how I divide, this is just kind of my perception of vaccine injury, is that when I use the term vaccine injury, I'm usually referring to what I call a single organ problem, like pericarditis, myocarditis, stroke, something like that, an autoimmune disease.
What I specialize in in my practice is I treat patients with what we call long COVID, long vax.
It's the same disease, just different triggers, right?
One is triggered by COVID, the other one is triggered by the spike protein from the vaccine.
Much more common is long vax.
The only real differences between the two conditions is that the vaccinated are on average sicker and more disabled than the long COVID, with some pretty prominent exceptions to that.
But the point I want to kind of give you, Tucker, is that the disease, although it has a new name, long COVID, it's not a new disease.
It's been around for decades, and it's traditionally been called myalgic encephalitis slash chronic fatigue syndrome, which is ME-CFS. You've heard of CFS? Of course, yeah.
That's effectively what long COVID and long vax is, because the hallmarks of that disease is a new inexorable fatigue.
What's called post-exertional malaise, which means when they try to do even simple activities, they pay for it in terms of fatigue.
I mean, the classic example I give one of my patients, he'd go to his mailbox to get the mail from the curb, come back into his house, and he'd be in bed for two hours.
That's classic post-exertional malaise.
And then the third is what we call brain fog, which is some amount of cognitive limitation.
But that triad...
That is ME-CFS. And that's always been associated with infections, things like Epstein-Barr virus.
But the difference now is the rate at which it occurs with coronavirus and this spike protein and this vaccine is so high that, like I said, just me and my partner alone manage over 1,200 patients.
I think that's always been a debate, and that's always been a problem for that disease, and that's why there's very little to show for it in terms of great studies.
The only thing they know about how to approach that disease is you tell patients to pace themselves, to stay under that exertional limit that makes them sicker.
And pacing is a good part of what we do, but we've learned lots of different therapies.
Kind of plight easier is that we're learning so much about the pathophysiology of the spike protein and what it does to the body and all of the disturbances that it causes that because we know it's the spike causing it here, so I don't have to worry that it's some psychiatric illness or depression or something in the environment.
I know what it is.
It's the spike protein.
I'm learning a lot about the spike protein, what it does to the body.
And then we choose...
Medicines whose pharmacologic mechanism of action best counteract those disturbances in pathophysiology.
And we have a lot of success, but I will tell you, nothing works in everybody.
It's really a trial and error system.
We use our most frequently effective medicines first, and then I have second, third, fourth, fifth one, and I have things where like...
I haven't seen, to be honest, that's a cool question because I've thought about that myself.
I've seen some decimated people, and by and large, I can't take an example, their partners have stayed with them.
Their partners have supported them.
I've seen a lot of love and devotion, at least in my patient population, that...
I kind of wonder when that's going to be, when some partner is going to say, you're not who I married, I'm not happy, and leave them in the illness, which is what you're not supposed to do in the marriage house.
But I haven't seen that very much.
But clearly their relationships are affected.
The partner also suffers.
The partner can't go out to dinner with them.
They can't go see a ball game.
They can't go on the trips they used to go on.
And so they're all leading different lives, but I've seen a lot of partner support and commitment.
I mean, if you knew that your life had been completely destroyed, you couldn't work, you couldn't even go out to dinner because you were forced to take a vaccine and no one ever apologized or stood up to help you, how angry would you be?
