a very important article..thank you. The three most dangerous words in the time of covid became “my doctor says” (safe & effective). I am blessed to know physicians who take the time to do their own research. The issue with far too many doctors loyal to their Hippocratic Oath was the ignorant bureaucrats sitting on licensing boards taking orders from the corrupt WH cabal. Had the pleasure to spend time with Dr. Cole after the 12/7 Johnson hearing finale. He is brilliant. PERIOD. (And funny).
In my 20s I developed eye problems. Very likely as a result of rheumatic fever as a child and following a number of poorly treated strep infections. This caused a number of issues including glaucoma and various neural ophthalmological issues. I have been told since I was 25 I would have a severe visual impairment within five years. I’m still driving nearly 47 years later. Also I have yet to meet an eye doc that has helped me. I’ve yet to meet one that has even seen anyone with my constellation of problems. They’ve all acknowledged this too. I’ve twice in this last couple of years been given a lecture by doctors when I question them about something. Something I’ve read on the internet. They quite crankily tell me ‘my medical degree took me 10 years of study. Please don’t equate your 5 minutes of reading something online with my medical degree’. Of course I’m burned up by this. I ask them ‘have you treated this before? Do you know what is causing the visual disturbances? Have you had any patients with this collection of symptoms?’ Of course they haven’t. I then said ‘did you hear a lecture on this once? A half hour long maybe? Do you honestly think you know more about this than me? As I’ve had it 47 years. And been beating the odds all this time.’ The arrogance of SOME doctors is appalling. And they’re choked we have our own Opinions. Many of them.
Exactly! I’d trust an independent doc who makes critical diagnoses every day over a doc who works for a large health system (which most PCPs do) and can barely make decisions on his own because of constraints placed upon him by that system. People who don’t work in healthcare just don’t get it.
I have intentionally gone without a primary care provider for the past 3 years - having witnessed first hand the damage these physicians are doing to their patients by pushing the Covid gene therapies. Suffice it to say - I’ve lost faith in the very system I have devoted 33 years of my life. If Dr. Ryan Cole was even remotely close to where I live - you can bet that I would be hoping to become one of his patients. I would have not a moments hesitation - and especially because of his pathology and immunology background. Our medical schools are failing to produce physicians who have even a modicum of critical thinking skills let alone a desire to understand anything that cant be treated with a big pharma pushed pill - or jab.
There’s a lot of talk on the anti Covid substacks about “dissolving illusions” and “turtles all the way down”. The Covid debacle is creating many actual anti-vaxxers...justifiably? Some commentary on those two books would be interesting.
Your comments are well taken. In addition, clinical pathologists (separate board from anatomic pathology -- many pathologists have both) have special training in microbiology and immunology (as well as blood banking, hematology and clinical chemistry). These are pivotal to understanding covid, vaccinology, and other related topics.
Most pathologists go down that pathway because they do not want a full time career of seeing patients, but rather so they can become the "doctor's doctor" and keep up with the latest findings and consult on a larger number of patients than they could see if they had to carry the entire patient experience forward.
Having said that, there are many clinical pathologists that regularly see patients, especially for hematologic, microbiologic (which includes viruses), transfusion and difficult cases. There is nothing unusual here.
Dr Bridle, would you explain the meaning of the immunology lingo used in the Immunogenicity, efficacy and effectiveness section of Canada’s Immunization Guide? i find some of it confusing... ‘No immunological correlate of protection has been determined for SARS-CoV-2’?
us lay people would benefit from an expert interpretation, because i feel like this guide is actually telling us the truth about the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of the covid-19 ‘vaccines’.
They had firefighters and national guardsmen administering the vax in my state at popup events. I am sure no one was told anything about the jab except it was “extremely safe and effective” just like the commercials say. The whole thing is just a farce.
Maybe the comment is more about the distrust a lot of people have for doctors and experts. Remember, we went through a lot of expert lies and propaganda during covid. And still do.
Dr. Cole - like the Good Sir here - have integrity and courage. Qualities in regrettably short supply.
At this point, I’d no sooner go to a Fauci-ized MD than would the Shark Week -educated Robert Shaw get into a life-jacket in “Jaws”.

To be honest, I trust most veterinarians a great deal more than most GPs nowadays.
I have been reflecting on a few words and definitions lately. I see the same tactic used again and again by both politicians and the public alike.
B is for bigotry. "Those who will not reason are bigots, those who cannot are fools, those who dare not are slaves"
A is for assume. "Don't assume or you risk making an ass of you and me"
D is for democracy. "The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter"

I've noticed a troubling uptick in junk science being published in Canada. We seem to be taking the lead in pseudoscience.
Good grief… Truly we are cattle in their eyes.
