I keep trying to break through the mass media censorship of critiques of Fauci and the health agencies for what they have wrought in the pandemic. Along with my writing partner, we have been on a roll with publishing Op-ed’s lately. We have now published on Fox News.com, Daily Caller, Real Clear Politics, The Washington Times, The Epoch Times, The Federalist, and The Washington Examiner among other outlets.
In this Op-Ed I forced myself to imagine the reforms that a functioning public health agency would make in the wake of their 3 years of horrifically destructive policies. I know and you know, this is not gonna happen, but Op-ed pages are not really the best forums for “saying how I really feel.” So, to get my points across, I had to pretend that the institutions of society have the capacity to function in a responsible manner towards the citizens they have failed. You be the judge as to how unrealistic the below wish list is.
Three years after COVID-19 hijacked the world, Hollywood celebrities are mocking the vaccine on “Saturday Night Live,” Bernie Sanders is hauling Moderna’s CEO before Congress, and a member of the Kennedy family is launching a primary challenge to President Joe Biden by railing on the vaccines that the White House continues to promote.
How times have changed. In 3 short years, many perspectives dismissed as “fringe” or “anti-science” in 2020 have become obvious and even mainstream. As a doctor whose livelihood has been threatened for challenging some of these points of view, these developments give me no pleasure.
Wherever else we may disagree, we must look to the future and prepare for the next public health emergency. Here are three places to start.
First, when a crisis hits, public health leaders should prioritize transparency and promote open debate. Throughout the pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) restricted the flow of information and only published data that supported its narrow political objectives. But as we’ve seen, facts will eventually come to light, and the cover-up is always worse than the crime.
Nowhere is this principle clearer than the origins of the COVID virus. Dr. Anthony Fauci is still saying it’s “very tough to tell” if the FBI and Energy Department are correct about the lab-leak theory. He is standing by his claims of “natural occurrence,” and lashing out at those who disagree as “insane.”
Fortunately, his days of running amok with no accountability are over. The House of Representatives voted 419-0 to force the Biden administration to declassify all information about COVID’s origins. Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield has called for a moratorium on gain-of-function research. These are two important places to start.
Second, don’t pretend there is a silver bullet. Complex public health problems demand complex solutions — every time. Biden, Fauci, and crew hung their entire COVID strategy on lockdowns followed by vaccines. In doing so, they made promises they could not keep and used absurd claims — like CDC Director Dr. Walensky insisting that vaccinated people couldn’t spread COVID or even get sick — to force an agenda that only set Americans against one another.
Of course, Walensky was forced to admit she was wrong on this (and plenty more). Yet the US still requires international visitors to be vaccinated against COVID-19, and the world number one tennis player (Novak Djokovic), my favorite athlete, cannot enter our country to participate in upcoming tournaments. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis deserves credit for suggesting he could “run a boat from the Bahamas” for Djokovic to compete in the Miami Open tennis tournament that took place month, but it should not come to that.
There are other options to treat COVID, including repurposing existing generic drugs. This is no longer a fringe cause. Russell Brand generated national headlines for taking the mainstream media to task for dismissing drugs like ivermectin, which have been promoted by the likes of Joe Rogan and Aaron Rodgers.
Third, policymakers must recognize that snap crisis decisions can leave people hurt. No one expects a perfect public response, but there must be safety net for those who get caught up in the single-minded approach. Consider vaccine associated enhanced disease (VAED), the ghastly scenario where a vaccine not only fails to prevent transmission but creates a more serious illness in a vaccinated person than one who is unvaccinated.
According to the CDC’s “V-safe” safety monitoring system, 33 percent of people who received a COVID vaccine experienced severe adverse effects, and 7.7 percent have required hospitalization. I have never in my career prescribed any medicine or administered any therapy which even came close to a 1 percent risk of requiring medical attention as a result of that therapy. This risk of a treatment is unprecedented in the history of modern medicine.
Those daring to raise the alarm on the unproven and dangerous nature of the vaccines have been persecuted relentlessly. The government program compensating those who have been injured by vaccines has been a black hole. As of late February, only 19 of the 11,196 claims — less than 1 percent — submitted to the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) have been approved. In a time of desperation, Americans are grasping for help only to get mired in the vast government bureaucracy.
Above all, the next public health emergency should be met with more humility and less arrogance. A once-in-a century crisis requires a spirit of open-mindedness.
The same so-called experts who have been sneering about “following the science” need to take a dose of their own medicine. Public trust in medical scientists has plummeted to 29 percent according to Pew Research.
These numbers must rebound before the next catastrophe strikes. Inviting front-line clinicians with direct experiences in treating the disease to offer guidance on what works and what does not work, would be a start.
No one person, entity or institution has a monopoly on good ideas. Science and medicine are constantly evolving and changing. Policymakers must keep up.

Fourth: Don’t believe a thing the government tells you.
I take it one step further. It is absolutely false until I can prove otherwise.
That would be Rule #1.
Rule #2 – Do not believe anything the media tells you
More pressure should have been placed on lying talking heads, call them out for being pieces of shit
Exactly how does a 70 year old man in TN call out a news anchor? Do I have a voice that anyone listens to?
I meant an in person meeting
Same question. I am not going into the cesspool of NYC or the District of Corruption for ANY reason.
It wasn’t hell, it was a test. Hell is where you go when you fail the test.
” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) restricted the flow of information and only published data that supported its narrow political objectives. ”
The ( CDC ) is the D.O.D.
That is the entire nut , you were never seen as ‘ worthy ‘ to get all the facts.
and the Culinary Institute of ‘Mer1ca…never forget them folks.
Oh , I just loooove their Biscotti !
generals don’t ‘run it past’ the conscripts.
I guess Dr Kory didn’t get the memo that the declassification is only in regard to the Wuhan lab. All info about Covid’s origins outside of Wuhan will remain classified.
Specifically limiting the declassification to Wuhan tells us all we need to know. It would have been simpler and easier to NOT specify, and to declassify everything about its origin from whatever source.
Everyone in Congress was satisfied with limiting declassification in this way.
Do try to keep up, Pierre.
Has your Family apologized to you yet?
Oh yea, mine neither!
Ditto.
“But as we’ve seen, facts will eventually come to light, and the cover-up is always worse than the crime.”
– Dr. Pierre Kory
Sorry, Doc. This time the crime is unimaginable to a mortal mind. The Pestilence and all the mindfuckery, totalitarianism, and medikil horror was near world-wide.
They can be shown the door.
Only they can decide to walk through it and learn.
Mind Control In America ( explained )
Aunty. That was your best line ever. 🙂 I would call it a kill shot.
Thank you, John.
Never forget, never forgive, Never surrender.
The only public health emergencies are ones created by government and media. Covid was obvious horseshit from the beginning. Anyone who didn’t know it is a mouth breathing telAvision believer. I called it out as horseshit to anyone and everyone who was in earshot. I told vaxx takers they were fucking crazy. It was a giant test to test out their global control and censorship web and to gauge how many spineless brainless sleeping idiots they could get to go along with it.
Without even knowing much about the Coof , I knew 100% a thin paper mask was totally worthless as microbes would sail right through.
Lucky for me I was already used to being called a ‘Spiracy theorist’
Three lessons:
1. They did this ALL ON PURPOSE to attempt to kill us all and destroy America.
2. People’s stand on masks, the jab, and personal freedom are ALL that they should be measured by going forward. The TRUTH was revealed by this.
3. NEVER FORGET AND NEVER FORGIVE their actions and words.
4. Extra – these crimes against humanity will only be repeated unless the most public and heinous punishments are doled out against those who participated in the crimes.
Exactly
Pretty weak Pierre!
Well Put.
Meet ” The Same People ”
Snake oil salesmen always get slicker the more they spool their drool.
In Roman times they actually used the puss from cow bellies to vaccinate disease this is known as the puss cult. Unfortunately today the puss cult rages on with the slaves as well. Will the next zoonotic be as benign as COVID?
or bovine as covid
Sounds credible as long as you believe it was all just a mistake ( well a series of those).
If you get to know it was all on purpose, all the narrative of the article collapses.
We have no need to be told what the gov has to do, as we have no say.
Only our own actions matter.
The House of Representatives voted 419-0 to force the Biden administration to declassify all information about COVID’s origins
so they could blame it all on China.
FIFY
There is little satisfaction in saying I told you so.
(1) Trust No One
(2) This is a war
(3) Only 20-25% of humanity is smart enough to survive this war.
I didn’t believe they could pull it off, they did. People are too trusting and dumb.
Depends where. In Canaduh, there weren’t that many that refused the Jab. I use that as general marker of intelligence. MAYBE a little more than 10% might qualify here. Probably half of those were defiant, but idiots otherwise anyway.
It may just be the people I know, but I would put the thinking, reasoning and understanding (intelligence) folks at less than 5% of people. The rest are NPC drones, programmed by the TV.
There should be no government (meaning taxpayer) compensation. Go after the drug companies. I don’t know about you, but our resources are better spent elseshere than on people who should have said “No.”
