Why aren’t practitioners speaking out?
Practitioners have seen what happens to people like us who spoke out – and the attacks by the regulatory bodies have had the appropriate chilling response. These policies have done enormous harm to all members of our community… children were never at risk of Covid. Practitioners have an ethical and moral responsibility to ‘do no harm’ – it’s no longer a time to rely on edicts from above. We must provide advice to our patients and clients that will benefit them.

Awareness is a function of the information we are provided. We’ve lived these past three years in a culture of extreme censorship. Many practitioners only had access to one side of the story. And the other side was ‘contaminated’ with views that are fringe and off-putting… People have a sociometer, where they look to see the outcome of considering another side to the story. People have a drive to get along with each other and many view social exclusion as something to be incredibly afraid of – even if they’re not consciously aware of it. [Rob]
Practitioners have seen the draconian measures used on us. Psychologically, and as a parent, my fear of not speaking out is greater than the threat of loss of livelihood. This is not going away. If people don’t speak out, the consequences for our children are dire. Do the due diligence. Take time to investigate and think critically – these are the most important issues we’ve faced in our lifetime. [Ros]

Thank you all for your courage in taking a stand and speaking out against what’s really been happening with healthcare during the covid situation. It has been brutal at times, living in Victoria, Australia over the past 3 years.
Thank you for your courage and risking your reputations in order to educate and inform. Each individual act of courage has emboldened the rest of us. As a now ‘unregistered’ health professional I am both dismayed and appalled that Medical Practitioners and Pharmacist’s continue to push the obviously unsafe and ineffective “vaccine”. Personally, there is no excuse for violating medical ethics or acting against your own conscience. Of course, many believe the ‘official narrative’ and this reflects a disturbing lack of critical thinking.
Control of pandemics requires trust by the people. Speaking out bad advice is harmful, so you must be sure your advice is correct. Most countries saw fatality rates that were very serious from respiratory virus, in late winter early spring of 2020, so masks, isolation of symptomatic people and vaccines which work are critical. Notwithstanding your opinions, masks were shown by June of that year to be effective. By the end of the year vaccines were developed with risk benefit ratios that clearly favoured vaccination. You may disagree but current scientific work claims the vaccines help to prevent death.
You are members of a profession, which means you are required to convince your colleagues of the correct advice before you profess it, just as you do any intervention, especially if you know they don’t agree. For what I would think are obvious reasons, you should not go to the public before you do convince your profession. That is certainly what I taught my students. If you only think you are the only one with the right answer, you may give dangerous advice. Surely you know that. Health care advice is important and must be respected. Convince your professional colleagues first. Then you can help your profession educate the government leaders. And together we can all advise the public correctly.

Brian, with respect, it is safe to say our positions are nearly 180 degrees apart.
I do agree that bad advice is harmful and that health care advice is important and must be respected.
I also agree that a certain humility is necessary when proffering health advice.
When I went to medical school they told us 50% of what we teach you will be found wrong in 5-10 years,
what we can’t tell you is which half.
This forum is about the declaration, did you agree or disagree that the
“silencing and censorship by bureaucrats and regulators, including of experienced practitioners and scientists, must stop. There must be respect for every individual’s right to freedom of opinion and expression.”
What about “The right to ‘informed’ consent must be upheld – and must include being fully informed of relevant risks, as well as any benefits (proven or presumed).”?
Do you support patients being fully informed of risks?
What’s your position on mandates? Do you support bodily autonomy?
The declaration states:
“Mandates and other forms of medical coercion are unethical – and must cease. Bodily autonomy is the inalienable right of every individual – and must be respected.”
Finally, Brian have you no concerns about the lack of transparency in science and medicine?? and the right of doctors to tailor treatment to the patients individual needs?
