I was recently on the Robert Scott Bell Show to discuss the fight for health freedom in the face of the authoritarian responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and the particular importance of developing critical thinking skills. Introducing me, Robert Scott Bell said, “I respect him immensely. He’s a real critical thinker.” My interview begins at about the 1:02:30 mark in the embedded video above (click here for the audio on SoundCloud).

Topics we discussed include:

  • The evolution of my journalism into my present focus on COVID-19 and the efforts to coerce us into acceptance of the political and financial goal of mass vaccination.
  • How my work has always focused on controversial topics because those are the issues that most need to be talked about.
  • How I’ve applied my critical thinking and analytic skills to doing independent journalism on a broad array of topics, including US foreign policy, economics and the role of the Federal Reserve, public vaccine policy, and the policy responses to COVID-19.
  • How I came to write the book The War on Informed Consent: The Persecution of Dr. Paul Thomas by the Oregon Medical Board, and why I felt it was imperative to drop everything else I was working on to tell his story.
  • Why I object to the popular argument within the health freedom movement that COVID-19 shots “are not vaccines”.
  • The importance of establishing common ground when trying to win converts into the health freedom movement.
  • How I diagnosed and effectively treated myself for leaky gut by researching the medical literature for myself because the doctors I went to for help were not just unhelpful but less than helpful.
  • The importance of being a savvy news consumer and learning how to identify government and media propaganda.
  • How I aim to anticipate and preempt objections in my writings so that my arguments are airtight.
  • How the false claim that natural immunity to SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, is weak and short-lived began in the summer of 2020 and persists to this day despite being totally falsified by scientific research.
  • Why we must view natural immunity as an opportunity cost of vaccination.
  • Why the claim that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines “are not new technology” is false, and why the claim that these products are “safe and effective” absent data from randomized controlled trials comparing long-term health outcomes, including all-cause mortality, is completely meaningless.
  • How the “public health” establishment is ignoring alarming safety signals for the COVID-19 vaccines from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
  • Why I am optimistic for the future despite the setbacks against health freedom arising from the authoritarian responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • How most doctors behave like members of a cult and it’s the rare individual who is willing to be self-critical enough to ask whether their practice of “standard of care” medicine is harming rather than helping people.
