We're on the same page. I talk about that a lot. I'm very sensitive to it. My father was a Holocaust survivor. So I grew up knowing these stories, how quickly a society can absolutely turn against a disfavored minority group, in this case, political conservatives. I'm well aware of that. There's a lot of practical advice in the book.

One of the things I want to share with people is this fear that humans have of having a reputation damaged. It's intrinsic really to the survival of the human species. I understand it. But it's next level in our time. It's instant worldwide communication that can bring down a person's reputation. We call it cancel culture. And it is very, very strong.

But I'm telling you that there are worse things than having your reputation smeared. You have to do what you know is right in your soul, or else you start self-censoring yourself and your soul starts dying. And- profound people than myself have said it more eloquently, but that's my advice to you.

We live in a time of cancel culture, but it's not the worst thing in the world to look that beast in the eye and still do what you know is right.

There were specific things I knew as a physician that became clear early that were alive. For example, if the power brokers had simply said hydroxychloroquine didn't work for SARS-2, I might have gone more along. But instead, they said it wasn't safe. Now, this was a drug at the time was 65 years, right? And then they mocked ivermectin. when it literally won the Nobel Prize for medicine.

So they went too far with their lies. And when you see that in your own life, when you see people saying things that you know are false, you please do not self-censor. That's really what drove this, was a lot of people fear over cancel culture.

Yeah. So the CDC, on their website, all through most of COVID, and they took it down for two years, and I think it's back, said it's safe during infancy, breastfeeding, elderly, and pregnancy, right? And the American Association of Rheumatology said the same thing.

Yes, you are knowledgeable. It's exactly correct. People coming from the Middle Eastern parts of the world had to take ivermectin coming to this nation. At the same time, the FDA was mocking it as horse paste. It was outrageous lies.

Right, so they took the lie too far where they said that it was not safe. And so that kind of woke people up. But we're left with this huge problem, right, Dr. Drew, that people don't trust physicians. And I'm sorry, I agree with that. I think most physicians should not be trusted. I think we saw that the physician didn't put the patient's interest first. We saw that a lot.

And it is also why I launched GoldCare, which is national telemedicine, where we prioritize the doctor-patient relationship. The doctors are only paid for their time. They're not paid by Big Pharma. There's no other route. It's just really like modern, old-fashioned medicine because it was very upsetting to me. I'm a daughter of a doctor.
