So infuriating. Did you know that not that long ago - in the early 2000s - very large med student groups and influential leaders like Leana Wen were literally marching on Pfizer headquarters, and partnering with major media like The NY Times to pillory big pharma? Then, a few multimillion dollar “pharma-academic partnerships” later, the med student campaign went silent…. Even worse, they scrubbed their old campaign off the internet! See my story for details on the memory holing process
Is medicine becoming more corrupt or has it always been corrupt, though now the corruption is coming to light in such a glaringly obvious way we can no longer deny it? What’s happening in medicine is only one instance of a broader crumbling of institutions many of us once thought trustworthy. Ultimately, I believe every single one of us is being invited to reconsider our own relationship with our own body, and to whom we grant power over our sense of health and safety in our bodies.
It has become more corrupt. The longer institutions are around -- especially those where competition is discouraged or prevented -- the more corruption accumulates.
Nothing like a cheap whore to make a fool out of my medical brethren. The Covid 19 scamdemic, the denial of use of effective repurposed inexpensive medications as being not just useful but curative of Covid 19, denial of the use of steroids for early covid infections with respiratory involvement and the insane support for any and all covid 19 "vaccine" to any human at any age have dealt the death blow to trust, truth, and transparency in the foolish practitioners who followed protocols written by MDs in name only who never touched a patient. What fools these corrupt physicians are who are conflicted that I would not let them treat a sick dog that I liked. They would let the dog die but only after intubating the animal and placing on a ventilator so they would be able to say he obviously died of Covid 19 and hold their hand out for a 5 figure government kickback. I am embarrassed by the conflicted lot of them who appear to be highly concentrated in academic centers. These despicable characters made the EUAs for the "vaccines" possible and have perpetuated the EUAs.
Let's start out with an easy reform of the sick medical system. Just say no to pharmaceutical ads to any non-professional medical person. Big pharma controls main stream media with the obscene amount of money paid to media channels for ads. The non-journalists who work for these outlets might be talented enough to pick vegetables if they wash their hands.
If you're in law, now is the time to buy hardbound copies of case opinions. Lexis/Nexis and other sites will be erased and/or modified to suit our current masters. Ditto, pubmed.
It’s really sad to see so many of these institutions getting worse. I have often been skeptical of pharma and studies on health because of a study which said that chocolate was good for you. The sponsor of the study?
Hershey’s Chocolate Company.
I will assume the same of any university with any naming rights that were sold to other companies.
It’s appalling and I am always grateful for your forthright exposure of this crap. Primary care, or at least the part I see, has become heavily politicized, utterly conformist , devoid of critical thinking and the dutiful questioning of evidence, and happily obedient to an overweening, incompetent and metastasizing bureaucracy . I’m glad I’m reaching the end of my career, it’s utterly demoralizing
"Finally, it does not escape me that the University of Chicago is not only a prostitute, but a cheap one at that: 75 million for a cancer center is not even that much in the grand scheme of university giving."
Agree, if the university had shopped around, another compnay (like Merck) may have offered 500 million.
Absolutely disgusting! And physicians and nurses have been told not to take pens and Post-it notes with names of drugs on them because it will bias us....do as I say, not as I do...again!

So, so corrupt! And as you say, so cheap, too! Medical education was bought off for less than the price of a single Aaron judge contract…
Money talks and better health walks.

The Medical Profession As A Whole
Is In The Toilet.
Which Is Funny.
Because If You Wanted To Actually
Understand Human Biology
That’s Exactly Where They’d Start.

Exactly why Origin of Feces is one of my favorite epi reads ever.
Hint: It’s all Sepsis.
Things are about to become so corrupt that things like this will not see the light of day.

Few are willing to say it. Props, and thank you
Excellent, Vinay. I went to Columbia. It was forever “P&S.” No longer. Sold out like a cheap whore.
Please keep up your superb analyses.
Sorry but what is P&S?
Physician and surgeon
Makes sense as the university of Chicago started as the Rockefellers foundation a globalist population reduction entity...WEF scumbags

Gosh I’m so sad the 3 words - follow the money - is the rule.
Do you think there are any Uncorrupted by Pharma Universities in the world?
Well said, Vinay.
