you know, what they're being told, like safe and effective, you know, on the COVID vaccines, for example, CNN, the BBC, Marty Macri said publicly that one of the biggest purveyors of misinformation during the pandemic was the US government. But really, they, in my view, they are just puppets of these big corporations.
So I think, you know, people just have to just think outside the box a little bit, look at alternative media, make up their own mind. But Ideally, in the long term, Megan, we need to restore trust in these institutions because society can't function cohesively unless you have a strong government that's ethical and medical institutions that are ethical.

And, you know, there will be a bit of disruption going on before we get to that stage. But, you know, we're in this mess with health care because we've allowed these corporate psychopathic entities to have so much power that they become tyrannical. And, you know, and that level of tyranny is so strong is that the way they exert their powers, even, you know, people like RFK Jr.

or myself or others who have been speaking out, you know, they will dedicate resources and even use the media to smear us because that's how they, you know, keep their keep spreading their misinformation to people. So it's going to take time.

I mean, one of the I tell you, just, you know, if there's one website people can go to, which is an independently, you know, an independent of commercial influence website done by very rigorous scientists who want to, you know, people to be fully informed about drugs. It's called the NNT.com website. So the NNT, yes, numbers needed to treat, nnt.com. And actually, there's a really good website.

And a lot of their, whatever's published on the website actually is published in one of the American family physician journals. And what they do is they break down the data. For example, statins, they will say, if you've had a heart attack, your benefits say one in 40 over five years.

preventing another heart attack etc and they give a traffic light system about whether overall the drug is beneficial or overall the drug is harmful it talks about things like heart stents which again are massively overused in the united states and other parts of the world that's what i trained in doing so that's quite a useful resource for people for sure they're not sure about the drug they're taking and it goes through many many medications as well and looking at all the evidence combined

Yeah, Megan. So, you know, I've thought about this in a lot of depth because, you know, I'm somebody that's been a very outspoken advocate of evidence-based medicine. I mean, I've published extensively. I've worked in advisory government roles over the years. And everything I usually advocate for comes through medical journal articles that I've published that have been peer reviewed.
