The other day I received a link to this video, an appeal on behalf of an Irish General Practitioner, Dr. William Ralph, who is currently under investigation by the Medical Council of Ireland. I learned of Dr. Ralph’s plight through his niece, Dr. Karen McDonnell, a psychiatrist who is on the verge of losing her job in New Zealand (where, incidentally there is a tremendous dearth of psychiatrists) because she refuses to receive a third Pfizer inoculation, thanks to New Zealand’s ill-considered and scientifically unfounded inoculation mandates for health practitioners.
Dr. Ralph apparently had the temerity to be a good and decent GP, one who urged caution in the face of the relentless push to jab everyone in sight for an illness which, untreated, had low lethality and which, if treated, had virtually none. He respected his patients’ wishes to make their own decisions about medical interventions, he provided them with informed consent not only about the COVID inoculations but also about the consequences of the non-pharmacotherapeutic ‘health’ measures imposed, such as masking and social isolation, and he made home visits to those who did not have the wherewithal to travel for help. He provided those patients suffering from COVID with actual care, in opposition to the mystifying governmental health directives that provided none until a patient was so ill as to require hospitalization, at which point the measures then offered were detrimental if not dangerous. As a result his practice, from 2020 through 2022, grew by approximately a thousand new patients.
To any thinking physician there is no mystery that people would flock to a doctor who honored his profession by adherence to very basic medical tenets:
1) not to harm
2) to respect the complexity of an individual’s medical needs and rights
3) to mitigate illness and prevent hospitalization by using effective medications and supplements
4) to engage in healthful activities such as exercise, nutrition, and
5) to foster ongoing connection with family and friends in a time of crisis
For these ‘sins’ Dr. Ralph is now under scrutiny by the Medical Council of Ireland, the organizational body charged with upholding medical standards and protection of the public weal, and his license to practice is in jeopardy.
Unfortunately Dr. Ralph is not alone.
Here in New Zealand a plethora of like-minded physicians have been hounded and persecuted by our Medical Council for these very same issues. Licenses have been suspended and revoked and virtually every physician who has dared to question directives that have mandated inoculations and actively suppressed attempts to treat people who had contracted COVID has come under attack.
But we are fighting back.
I obtained my medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1986 (and at the same time I was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society). The education I received there was an education in critical thinking and clinical wisdom. Drugs and procedures come and go with the times, but the ability of a physician to glean from the complexities of a presenting illness and its effect on a patient a mode of healing, using knowledge and experience and respecting a patient’s uniqueness, is the hallmark of good medical practice.
Since 2020 this kind of medical practice, this kind of sensible and ethical medical approach, has been subverted and wholly undermined. Honest medical councils that should have encouraged and honored the likes of Dr. Ralph have instead betrayed the profession whose ideals they claim to uphold.
Why?
An answer may lie in Texas, of all places, where the headquarters of two little known but connected organizations sit: the Federation of State Medical Boards and the International Association of Medical Regulatory Authorities, which share the very same address near Dallas: 400 Fuller Wiser Road, Euless, TX 70039.
Coincidence?
The Chair-Elect of the IAMRA, Joan Simeon, just happens to be the CEO of the Medical Council of New Zealand, and the Secretary of the IAMRA, Dr. Humayun Chaudhry, just happens to be the President and CEO of the FSMB. The Medical Councils of Ireland and New Zealand are members of the IAMRA.
Recently Dr. Richard Amerling, Associate Medical Director of America’s Frontline Doctors, responded to a statement from the FSMB alleging that providing ‘misinformation’ about the COVID jab should result in disciplinary action against physicians. Dr. Amerling wrote that “Decertification for speaking out in favor of early outpatient treatment of COVID-19, or calling into question the monolithic vaccine narrative, is a gross abuse of authority and will generate a strong legal response.”
The outstanding question remains: Where does the FSMB derive its authority to regulate United States medical boards and, through its apparent international partner, the IAMRA, direct medical councils around the world to discipline doctors?
The FSMB is not a government agency. Founded in 1912, it appears to be a private entity that has accrued its power in ways that are essentially unknown. It is high time for a bona fide investigation of this agency, an investigation into its finances, its corporate status and its paymasters. In many ways it is akin to another non-govermental agency that has wielded immense power and was founded in 1913: the Federal Reserve.
In 59 BC, were a Roman peasant to voice concerns about the alliance of Caesar, Crassus and Pompey to create a hegemonic rule over the Republic, he would not have been considered a ‘conspiracy theorist’; he would instead have been describing generally accepted reality.
In casting an eye over the years since the dramatic introduction of the COVID pandemic, the near total shutdown of the world, the immense transfer of wealth from the middle and poorer classes upwards, the universal imposition of an inadequately tested so-called vaccine, and the vehement suppression of critical early treatment, one cannot but conclude that there is indeed an agenda beyond health and welfare. The FSMB and the IAMRA have shown by their actions that they are tools whose task is to further this agenda, and that this agenda is both anti-medical and inhumane.
