Dr. Setty, you are way beyond smart, knowledgeable, principled, brilliant - and humane. THANK YOU for being there.

Wow. That’s the kind of thinking I used to imagine all doctors engaged in. Sadly, Covid has shown me that only a very few take their chosen profession seriously enough to put the patient first and evaluate them as individuals rather than an income stream.

Thank you for another thoughtful and powerful article. It is a pleasure to read your efforts here.

I am also a Penn Anesthesia grad although much older than you. I practiced fairly close to Penn and watched the corporate money infect the academics and culture at Penn. Frank Murphy was also a great mentor for me. However, if he were alive for the Plandemic, I fear he would have drunk the Vax Koolaid like all the rest. Even to this day, Penn will treat an unvaccinated patient but they will not allow their unvaccinated support person to enter the hospital. It is so sad to see the former Icons of Medicine succumb to the mind control without question as if science is ever “settled.” Thankfully you escaped with your analytical mind intact.

Interestingly, it was upon retirement that i learned that the Hippocratic Oath taken in 1987 differred from the one I kept in mind for 32 years.

I had unwittingly added a clause to it thus: I will not suffer a lie on the part of any patient under my care, under this roof. And my staff knew this. Recently reviewing the historic written Oath i couldn’t find that tenet anywhere.

Point is, if you are raised to detect , detest and deny lies, you can do more than commit to a historic code; its tenets can be part of yourself, your life, your being.

I like to think my patients benefited from this. It was not the burden it could have been. Practising during the covidscam became impossible for obvious reasons; i sold and began a new life free of the tyranny of a college of powertripping regulators. Avoidance looks weak, and perhaps I am. But if one can choose one’s tyranny, imho its better than being subject to it. I feel for those without the luxury of moving on; biting one’s lip all day is no way to work peacefully. 🇨🇦🙏🏽

Somewhat slightly off topic perhaps...

What astonishes me are all those (Including doctors) who didn’t “just stand there,” who instead waited in long lines, rolled up their sleeves and took jab after jab, and, for some, continue to do so, without ANY information as to what they were being injected with.

Those doctors who have little to no time to do their own research, relying, as you mention, on whatever the CDC feeds them, contribute to creating a practice of medicine where the (at least somewhat) blind lead the blind. And we call this healthcare.

The whole or nearly whole system appears unethical to me. Injecting children without parental (informed) consent is egregious.

Wow! A great article, a pleasure to read. You are a brilliantly critical thinking soul. I would imagine a tough cross to bear in seeing many--Rethy is an example--do first and think later. Actions like hers should not be part of the medical profession. The whole dark Vax scam is seeing more of the light of day. The CDC was turning doctors into tools of an unconscionable Pharma agenda that didn’t care for people or the Hippocratic oath. Thanks for your work and sharing your heart and mind.

It will be an interesting case to follow, although I guess it may well be settled before going before a judge. But I'd be interested to see what kind of defense the doctor gives for her actions. Certainly it's a prima facie violation of the mother's rights of consent (to say nothing of the kids' rights).

The point has nothing to do with you believe the vaccines are "safe and effective." The point is that this was an absolute violation of medical ethics. It's like, in a murder trial by jury, the verdict has nothing to do with whether you like the defendant or not, whether you feel you must support the person because they are of the same skin color or religion as oneself. It's that straightforward.

Excellent article and it gives hope to know there are real and sensible doctors out there.

Thank you, Madhava -- a comprehensive view of the medical and ethical landscape around C19 vaccination. Could you add something about the risk-benefit ratio specifically for children?

As a CRNA, (thanks for the brief shout out) I am especially impressed by your rare logic and reason in our space. I was interested in your substack because of your specialty but I’ll not miss a post because of your humanity and common sense. You give me hope that critical thinking may still have a remnant in this post-logic world. Thanks.

Hello - I just discovered and subscribed to your substack today. I have only read 3 articles at this point, but I am very happy to have found it. Your writing is some of the best I have encountered thus far on the platform.

Medicine is wrong by design. The elites who control our institutions have openly declared that the goal is to turn physicians into unthinking technicians - all for purposes of global population reduction. This blinds technician/physicians to purposefully harmful "standards of care" then there are the medical school debt shackles on top of medical boards - so even if a physician thinks critically or sees the damage of the paradigm, he/she prefers to self-censor.

And it's amazing to see so many "well-educated" and "smart" "professionals" fall for the big Covid hoax. No excess mortality in 2020 means there is no new bug - just a bogus test and a new name for old influenza like illness symptoms. Don't believe me? In may 2020 an official report leaked from a blue ribbon panel convened by the German government stating exactly that. https://strategic-culture.org/news/2020/05/29/german-official-leaks-report-denouncing-corona-as-global-false-alarm/

Great piece ... for what it's worth, we often need well more than 3 sig-figs in engineering, and sometimes medicine knows more than the sign ... but nature is a brutal and unapologetic mistress that deserves the respect of any human practitioner.
