I think in the UK it is worse than that - they are deliberately setting the people against the doctors. They are getting people to blame the doctors for not being able to get appointment, and for not getting much when they do [the government has set things up so you can only have a 10 min appointment, and then only discuss ONE symptom]. Even the older generation, who implicitly trusted the doctors, now have nothing good to say about them.

From a patients perspective, I have lost faith in the entire Medico-Pharma industry. Fortunately I am in good health so my visits to "my" GP are rare. Often I have recovered from what ever was ailing me by the time that I can get an appointment. This has made me realise that I san be more confident that my immune system is capable of caring for me.( I decided not to be a candidate in the mRNA experiment).

Prior to 2020 I had complete faith in my GP. She was happy to debate the merits of the treatment that she proposed and was prepared to listen to my concerns.

I now live in Queensland, quite happily for the most part, but our State Governments' decision that faceless bureaucrats at Queensland Health can take away my rights to obtain "informed consent" from my Doctor because they must conform to "public policy" is a bridge too far.

The last three years has made me realise just how much information Doctors must digest to keep on top of their game. It is small wonder that some (many?) rely on the BIG Pharma reps for their education. If Covid was no good for anything else, at least we are all much more aware of the corrupt business model of Big Pharm and the culpable ignorance of the various health bureaucracies.

Small wonder that so few Medical Graduates are considering specialising in general practice

The excerpt below about the passage of the new U.S. ‘omnibus’ Appropriations bill was taken from an article published by Dr Meryl Nass on her Substack today (Feb 05, 2023). It is very relevant to the issue under discussion in Rebekah Barnett’s ‘Dystopian Down Under’ Substack article. In short, it seems that there is a coordinated move under way by governments internationally to remove the control of medical treatment from doctors and their patients and hand it over to unelected government officials and their medical-industrial complex Big Pharma sponsors.

The extract from today’s Meryl Nass Substack is as follows:

“On December 29, 2022 President Biden signed the $1.7 Trillion “omnibus” government appropriations bill for fiscal year 2023, which funds the government through September 2023. It had been released to Congress on December 20. It was passed by Congress on December 22, 2022—a mere 2 days after being released. It had 1,653 pages that almost no one read in the 2 days they had to consider the bill before voting.

Now, facts about what was in this bill are dribbling out and they are disconcerting, to say the least. Let me say clearly that I have not reviewed this bill (and can’t possibly do so) and am relying on what others have written. I believe these provisions are put in huge bills for multiple reasons, one being that ordinary humans cannot pick through them.

The law that allowed for the use of off-label licensed drugs like HCQ and IVM appears to have been neutered.

Also gone is the prohibition for using EUA products outside an emergency, discussed in a previous substack and confirmed by Sanjoy Mahajan’s identifying the FDA notice dated Jan. 31 that confirms it.

It seems that the government’s stamping out the independent practice of medicine is marching forward in the dark, avoiding any public opposition. The below is from Dr. Mercola:

https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2023/02/04/new-laws-allow-pharma-make-decisions-patients.aspx

“In the U.S., 1 in 5 prescriptions is written for an off-label use. While sometimes this allows medications to be overused or misused, it also protects doctors' ability to freely treat patients, and patients' ability to use all available treatments after making an informed decision.

That 20% of medications are used off-label also indicates "a degree of freedom physicians currently have that will be foreclosed," notes English comedian and actor Russell Brand, if a little-noticed provision in the omnibus spending bill is passed. "Literally, this will mean that your doctor will not be able to do what's best for you because they'll work for Big Pharma now," Brand says.”

19 Lines in 4,155-Page Bill Could Change Practice of Medicine.

“The 2023 omnibus appropriations bill — a 4,155-page tome involving $1.7 trillion in spending — includes 19 lines that could give the U.S. Food and Drug Administration the power to ban off-label use of approved medications. In a commentary for The Wall Street Journal, Dr. Joel Zinberg wrote:4”

"Physicians routinely prescribe drugs and employ medical devices that are approved and labeled by the Food and Drug Administration for a particular use. Yet sometimes physicians discern other beneficial uses for these technologies, which they prescribe for their patients without specific official sanction.

The new legislation amends the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, to give the FDA the authority to ban some of these off-label uses of otherwise approved products. This unwarranted intrusion into the physician-patient relationship threatens to undermine medical innovation and patient care."

My observation is as follows:

This is a frightening development. It must be seen in the context of 20th history – namely that one of the first acts of the new National Socialist government that came to power in Germany in 1933 was to pass a statute called the “Gesetz zur Verhütung erbkranken Nachwuchses”. This roughly translates as the “Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring”. It was referred to in an abbreviated form as the "Sterilisation Law". This law handed the power of life and death on the flimsiest of health pretexts to unelected government ‘health’ officials, and it became the first cab off the rank for the National Socialist German State to ‘cleanse’ itself of anyone who they deemed to be unworthy of life. It got worse after that - much worse, and it took a massive war to bring it to an end.

Western Civilisation appears to be crumbling. It is time to really turn up the heat on members of parliament while we still have a chance, and make it clear that if they dismantle the doctor-patient relationship, then they will be removed from parliament.

There's the institution (the bureaucracy) and then there's the individual. DownUnder where mountain ranges of pointless bureaucracy is king, medical "trust" has been degrading for years and the recent COVID debacle with one Lieutenant General Frewen enforcing the response, a final nail in the coffin. While the AMA remains the most powerful trade union in the World there remain individual doctors and health professionals still wedded to ethics, science and morality. Regrettably, they are now 'the few'. A parallel lower tech, zero surveillance system is quietly evolving out of necessity and humanity.

I'm in my 60s & terrified of Australian doctors now. They seem to be all buying new cars, paying off mortgages, really flush. Same story Pharmacists. A LOTTA 🤑🤑🤑 I can smell the corpses. But I'm a hostage of BigPharma, just like the GPs, in my case a manageable morbidity...until They stop the drug. I battled several doctors over the Death Clot Shot, only ONE, fearless & due retirement, showed me the EVIL ATAGI emails. EVIL 😈 🦹‍♀️ threats of what telling the truth would cost them. Ivermectin is STILL BANNED & I'm running out. The Feds have stopped Seamail to Australia to search for it. Evil BigPharma & the Billionaire Deep State play Oz like the punk sheeple we are.

"They" think this cbdc shit is gonna slot right in. They think that They understand us, have, as Harari put it "hacked Humanity" & we'll roll over... I think Machete. Hakka Paile! CUT CUT CUT 😑

Most Australian doctors have given up. Even a GP I know who fought hard at the beginning recently said "what's the point...I'm nobody." The jab kills in more ways than one.

There's a subtype of OCPD, Hitler's personality disorder, called "bureaucratic compulsive (with narcissistic features)." They could soon be making health care decisions for patients and their doctors. Actually, they are already.
