Photo by Paris Bilal on Unsplash Two media items this past week caught my attention. The first was the opinion piece by Senator Rand Paul on the COVID Cover-Up by 15 governmental agencies. Senator Paul outlines the 2018 DEFUSE Proposal presented to DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) by Peter Daszak, the President of EcoHealth Alliance. The proposal was a grant request for insertion of a furin cleavage site into a bat corona virus to enhance its infectivity to humans in order to guard against such an eventuality. This was surprisingly similar to what eventually became the agent of COVID-19 and was a joint project with Duke Medical School, the University of North Carolina,
This is an illuminating, if dispiriting substack. The ideology is exactly why it is so often fruitless to try and discuss covid with those who bought into it. "We will be unable to return to objective truth in medicine until a repudiation of Postmodernism itself is established."
Sadly, I think many of our Postmodern idealists are millenials. (Does anyone else concur?) Therefore, we may have to wait a very long time, if ever, for the world to upright it's thinking.
I couldn’t agree more that there needs to be a complete overhaul of those professors and physicians teaching in academia and as providers. Not only that but those editors and journalists at our once highly regarded medical journals. Ideology has indeed hijacked our entire medical system and we must start fresh. I, for one, have lost trust in the system.

Well written my friend. Hope for our future depends on the message you so eloquently broadcast!
