A hackers look inside the anti-vaxx group named "America's Frontline Doctors"

Includes data on how many patients have paid them for consultations and quack remedies.
 
Also includes text of the new disclaimer on the doctor's small role in the process which absolves the doctor of any blame if the patient actually takes any of the "cures" that the salesmen recommend. (The process appears to be the dupe pays $90 to talk to a salesman who sees which variety of snake oil the dupe is open to purchasing. The salesman then recommends that snake oil cure. The patient then fills out a form to request a doctor write a prescription whenever the recommended "cure" is some prescription medicine which doesn't affect COVID.)

I can't make the argument very well, so....lessee...
 
https://photocopyrightlaw.com/why-do-copyrights-expire/#:~:text=Copyright is a property right,the ownership of tangible property.
 
Another public domain advocacy site puts it this way:
 
 
And last, patent and copyright law is rooted in the Constitution.  If you want a longer, more erudite discussion, try here:
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-1/section-8/
 
Copyright is clause 8.

Why is it "nonsensical" to propose treating real property and intellectual property in the same manner?
 
Real property is yours or your heirs (barring unlikely events like eminent domain or an earthquake sinking your property under the sea).
 
Intellectual property is yours or your heirs as long as you never publish it in any way. But if you do, it is automatically taken away from your control at some point.
 
I can see the point of that with patents for inventions.
 
I but I see no rationale for it, at all, when it comes to artistic endeavors like Captain Underpants. The creator might be cornering the market on "Captain Underpants" but he's in no way limiting the market for children's characters. Or even children's superhero characters.
 
And society isn't experiencing an undue burden from lack of Mickey Mouse cartoons because Disney is owning the character and other authors are not getting to use that one particular character.
 
Mickey Mouse isn't a folk hero of some sort. The popularity the character has is because the corporation which owns it has spent huge wads of money keeping the character in the public's eye. 
 
 
 
Geez, I gotta get some sleep. Can't focus enough to finish making a point....

Similar to Archer's point, if I build a house on a plot of land, how long should I have the right to use, or direct the use, of that house?  We could use it for low-income housing, a shelter for battered women or runaway children, an orphanage or various other public uses, or just knock it down and have a little park there.  When does the real estate revert to the public domain?  If I sell it, how long should the buyer retain exclusive rights to the property?
 
Let's try some real-life examples, and maybe people can assess how their preferred  models would work.
 
EXAMPLE #1
 
John Lennon died in 1980.  How long should his widow, children - whoever he selected under his will - benefit from his works? In other words, how long should he control who benefits from his labour and creativity?
 
Now, contrast that with how long Paul McCartney should control the benefits from his labour and creativity.
 
EXAMPLE #2
 
In what year should I be allowed to publish a game that's about 15% generic superhero setting with a few sample characters, 10% small derivative mini-adventure/adventure seeds and 75% a reproduction of the Hero System rules?  Recall that Champions 1e was published in 1981, 40 years ago.  Its original creators sold the rights 20 or so years ago (5th Edition was released in 2001).
 
EXAMPLE #3
 
Elsewhere on the Boards, there's a discussion about the planned re-imagining of Babylon 5.  Why can't CW, or anyone else, just do whatever they want with the B5 concept, characters, etc.?  The original ran from 1994 to 1998 - it's been well; over 20 years.  Yet the only real optimism about this venture is that J. Michael Straczynski remains heavily involved.
 
Now, he could still be heavily involved if we ditched the copyrights, and removed any ability of JMS to govern the use of his concepts.  But anyone else could also do a Babylon 5 project without his involvement, at the same time if they were so inclined.
 
At the same time, because WB controls the TV rights, JMS has largely been blocked from using B5 for the past couple of decades.  But he chose to assign those rights to WB - and WB freighted a lot of costs and risks in producing the show, which was massively different from the TV norms of the day, and consequently massively risky.  Would WB (or anyone else) have fronted those costs and risks if they could not be confident they would reap the rewards if the show was a success?  JMS could not have funded the project himself.

If I make a beautiful hand-carved chair, charge people for the use of it, and they gladly pay each time for the length of my life because the chair is so breathtakingly beautiful...my chair doesn't pass into the public domain after my death.
 
People are free to make different chairs. But the public is never entitled to own my chair.
 
So some artists, such as wood carvers, are protected to a greater extent than authors because tangible property is considered more valuable than intellectual property.

So let's say I'm an author.
 
If I'm understanding the stance of some people here, the only way to stop whatever I write from going into the public domain, regardless of my personal wishes or how many contracts I sign, should be to burn the manuscript immediately after writing it.
 
Because otherwise, I should have no permanent control over my own creation other than completely destroying it before anyone reads it.
 
That seems so wrong on so many levels (place the emphasis on whichever word or words seems most appropriate).

One of the best things about Science Fiction TV is how nobody ever seems to look beyond the make-up.   A point is being made here that Sheridan and Delenn are two separate races when they’re actually both “White” but nobody ever blinked an eye at Michael Dorn and Terry Farrell being in love scenes together.  The ‘90’s were better about race issues than previous eras, but there was never anything about the subject other than as a Klingon/Trill relationship.
   Star Trek has always been a forerunner in racial issues within the show,but it’s nice to see how it plays out in the real world.

From JMS on Facebook:

 
 

Obadiah Stane: You really think that just because you have an idea, it belongs to you?

Yeah, my wife's wanting to go visit a cousin in TN who told her that there wasn't anyone in her county who has COVID (when on national hotspot maps, it's showing that area covered up in new cases).
 
So I found the TN health department's website which shows a county-by-county breakdown of cases and it showed her very rural low-population county with hundreds of new cases per week.
 
Turns out she wasn't aware because it isn't mentioned in her local news sources.
 
She and her husband both has COVID last year and he's been one of those long-haul permanently damaged cases.
 
Their local doctor is anti-vax and advised neither of them to get vaccinated because of the "dangers" of the vaccine...with her husband having on-going breathing problems.
 
Personally, I'm getting more in the mood for torches and pitchforks than with "increased sanctions by social media outlets" as a way to deal with anti-vaxxers....
 

Yes, but there are limits to how long anyone can put up with their stupidity and the damage it does to *everyone*.  Story emailed from NYT broke down rates at more local levels...the red/blue state split is sharp, but as one can expect, breaking it down to county level it's even more dramatic.  
 
I don't think any of us here feel that, without the anti-vax movement, we'd be mostly back to normal.

Did you at least pick up on the product placement?
 
 

We can look at what's in the video. Eventually.
 
The doctor is Ryan Cole, who is a board certified dermatopathologist (studies skin dieases) according to this pro-Ryan Cole website. More on this website later.
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rfk-jr-podcast-dr-ryan-cole-pathologist-early-treatment-keydelta-variant/
 
According to this website, he also has specializations in Anatomic Pathology, Clinical Pathology, and Surgical Pathology...all from highly credible institutions. His hospital privileges are at a local VA hospital.
https://health.usnews.com/doctors/ryan-cole-724324
 
 
 
 
Now Ryan Cole is also the CEO of Cole Diagnostics, whose website looks like a typical website for medical testing services.
https://www.colediagnostics.com/
 
But if you go to the shop tab on his website, you can buy cactus, watches, shoes, perfume, lamps, and backpacks...so I'm not entirely sure what his business is.
https://www.colediagnostics.com/shop?page=4
 
 
But if you believe that pro-Ryan website I listed earlier, it says after diagnosing COVID (presumably through his lab services) that he believes in a multi-vector approach to treating COVID which includes monoclonal antibodies (a treatment which actually works), steroids (which are pretty standard to treat patients having breathing problems), ivermectin (horse de-wormer), hydroxychloroquine (as pushed by the previous administration), the cholesterol drug fenofibrate and the anti-depressant drug fluvoxamine.
 
Fenofibrate, well, there's been a study in the UK and a small one out of Israel suggesting that it could have a positive impact on COVID. 
 
Fluvoxamine, on the other hand, hasn't had a clinical trial. There's been a couple of studies where patients with mild symptoms were given the drug or a placebo then self-reported the results. But so many people dropped out of the study mid-way through that the results, even for what it was, is inconclusive.
 
Fenofibrate is relatively benign as a drug but Fluvoxamine can have serious side effects including increasing the risk of suicide. https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/therapies/immunomodulators/fluvoxamine/
 
So if you believe the pro-Ryan article, he's experimenting on his patients with unproven and possibly dangerous therapies.
 
As for the video, it was posted by thewatchtowers dot org which is a site devoted to conspiracies and which no one takes credit for in the websites "About" section. Their Reddit page say the subjects up for discussion include "Politics, Crime, Economy, UFO's, Conspiracy's, Corruption, Paranormal and Faith".
 
Dealer's choice on whether "the watchtowers" is a reference to Wiccan beliefs or to the Jehovah's Witnesses publication.
 
The video as listed on their own website https://thewatchtowers.org/scientist-shows-vaccine-effects-in-autopsies-dont-believe-it-see-for-yourself-if-you-want/ praises this doctor for being as courageous as America's Frontline Doctors, which is the medical scam site which we've discussed here previously. (Other articles tell such things as how people who are vaccinated set off store alarms because of the vaccine in their body. Another article about how an occupational therapist in Hawaii claims that he's seen 32 elderly people pass away immediately after getting their Moderna vaccination.)
 
The doctor's speech itself:
 
At the one minute mark, he says we've done studies on lab animals and determined that the vaccine when the COVID virus isn't present causes the same diseases in the body that having COVID does. And a few seconds later he says that the vaccine causes COVID. 
 
It would have been nice if he'd mentioned who "we" were and given us a link to the studies themselves. Because multiple studies which conclusively prove that the vaccines cause COVID would be a cause for concern if it were real in any way.
 
He says multiple times that people have died because of the protein spikes floating around in the bloodstream...but he doesn't give any names and doesn't claim to have done any pathological exam of anyone who has died in such a way.
 
He shows pictures of a heart which supposedly has inflammation after the person got the vaccine. But we don't get any "before and after" pictures of the same person to see if the person already had an inflamed heart before getting the vaccine or whether the heart was normal until getting the vaccine. He's also not telling us how many vaccinated people he had to look through before finding one with an inflamed heart (or lung, or whatever).
 
He's also not being clear in admitting that most doctors can look at people who are old, overweight, or have other visible problems and determine just by looking at them that they likely have something or other in their body that's inflamed. So is he finding his examples by randomly picking vaccinated people out of a hat and getting a wide cross-section of people or is he cherry-picking to find the people who most likely have a pre-existing inflammation.
 
He cites a 200 fold increase in a particular heart disease in children which he claims in from them getting the vaccines but doesn't cite a source for his claim. He also doesn't tell us how many cases there were to start with because going from one case to three is dramatic statistically but not a dramatic increase otherwise, even if true.
 
The 16% decrease in fertility in rats cited from the Pfizer study would be concerning if true. (It'd be more concerning if I didn't think the world was way over-populated but that's another matter. And randomly decreasing fertility without publicizing it to people would be ethically wrong regardless, IMO.)
 
At about 8 minutes in, he claims that all the supposed inflammation is caused by micro-clotting...but that you can't see it on "x-ray or scan". He also says "if we look at this in the patients, we know it's micro-clotting (emphasis in the original)".
 
It'd be interesting to find out where he gets this knowledge from looking at this in the patients since normal inflammation isn't caused through blood clots, the pictures he's shown aren't of clots, and the x-rays and scans don't show clots.
 
 
 
I'd normally go through the rest of the video but I'm old and have been doing three doctor appointments and errands all day today and I'm wiped out. If anyone wants to make a request for me to go through the last five minutes of his speech and give my impressions of it, go ahead and ask.
 
In any case, getting back to BitChute.
 
The reason why the website which this video is posted to is relevant to the discussion is that shows up on BitChute rather than a credible website is that the information which is most often posted on BitChute is not credible.
 
And if it were posted on YouTube, it'd be removed because it's a pack of hogswallop which is pretending to be credible information from a doctor who is in the business of trying to sell horse de-wormer, cactus, shoes, and backpacks.
 
Not everything which is posted on BitChute is automatically nonsense. But there's often a reason it shows up there rather than websites which at least try to have some kind of very minimal standards.
 
And the organization which chooses to post a video is often relevant as well. A wiccan-named organization which admits it is into conspiracy theories, UFO's and alternate spirituality...they're probably trying to find information which promotes their point of view rather than be an unbiased source of the news of the day.

I much prefer playing and GM-ing with 4e Missile Deflection rules. I know what I'm getting and not getting in every situation, simply and easily.
 
As far as IRL goes when I was much younger, my friend and I saw someone on That's Incredible! snatch an arrow out of the air with his bare hands. The guy was a trained martial artist of some sort, had years of experience, and was standing to the side as the arrow was going by.
 
We thought, "We could do that too" but (not being totally stupid) we decided to start out by catching darts out of the air. (Darts at the time were the only ranged weapon magic-users could use in D&D so we thought, why not?)
 
My friend learned to catch darts out of the air, which I was throwing deliberately slowly and predictably, in about five minutes. After a few hours, I could catch about a third of the ones he threw, deflect or got poked a third  of the time and miss entirely the rest of the time. I found out later than I had some rather severe uncorrected depth perception problems compared to everyone else in the world so looking back on it, I don;t feel as bad about my lack of success as I did at the time.
 
But that was with each of us throwing deliberately slowly and the other knowing in advance when the dart was coming. When the speeds went up even moderately, neither of us were successful (and neither of us were stupid enough to try standing directly in front of the dart and let the other attempt to throw it hard).
 
As a game mechanic, I just can't believe Missile Deflection as an everyman skill.

Most people assume they live in a kind of stasis, whether they do or not.
 
They have vague ideas that some places are older or younger than the place that they live. Or that some places are much more wealthy or much poorer. But they assume that people live much the same way as they themselves do.
 
I remember back in high school that an illegal immigrant from Mexico was discovered half-starved locked up in the back of a trailer of an 18 wheeler.
 
The police took custody of him but none of them could speak any Spanish and the guy couldn't speak any English. But on the trip from the freight yard through the more squalid parts of the tiny town to the courthouse (which was built in the 1930's and looked more ancient and run down than that), the guy kept saying dahleeze over and over.
 
The police eventually had to resort to sending for the high school Spanish teacher because no one knew anyone who could speak Spanish.
 
So the teacher eventually showed up and talked to the guy.
 
He was under the impression that because the "vast city" he was driven through on the way to the police station was so magnificent, that he must be in Dallas.
 
He knew that vast wealthy cities existed because he'd been told about them. But he lacked whatever it was that it'd take for him to grasp the scale of difference between a town of a few thousand people with paved streets, modest homes, and electricity vs a metropolis with a million people and (comparatively) unlimited wealth. Because apparently, he'd had no experience with either a tiny modest middle-America town or a thriving metropolis.

If you take away TV, public education, and yearly releases of new versions of the I-Phone, why would anyone assume that they were living in anything but an eternal stasis, whether it was true or not?
 
People don't automatically know stuff. Most people aren't motivated to find out stuff even when the knowledge is easily available. People see and people accept what they personally see. What they don't personally see might as well not exist and certainly isn't very important.
 
You could have vast upheavals in social systems in most eras and within 30-50 years, most people would accept things as they are and not think about things as they used to be or about how things might be....

Ukraine's president compares UN to 'a retired superhero
 
He argues that the organization doesn't do anything and just looks on from the sidelines while countries like Russia, which guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine's borders forever in the 1990's, invaded and seized a large part of the country in the 2000's.

So I replied:
 
"When did it ever have teeth? Until there's a United Nations Tribunal on International Law which sends out heavily armed agents to deal with nations, leaders, or rogue actors who get out of line, there won't be any international defenders of freedom."

One of the commenters observed:
 
"He's not wrong. UN is toothless now..."
 
So I replied:
 
"When did it ever have teeth? Until there's a United Nations Tribunal on International Law which sends out heavily armed agents to deal with nations, leaders, or rogue actors who get out of line, there won't be any international defenders of freedom."
 
 

We can look at what's in the video. Eventually.
 
The doctor is Ryan Cole, who is a board certified dermatopathologist (studies skin dieases) according to this pro-Ryan Cole website. More on this website later.

According to this website, he also has specializations in Anatomic Pathology, Clinical Pathology, and Surgical Pathology...all from highly credible institutions. His hospital privileges are at a local VA hospital.

Now Ryan Cole is also the CEO of Cole Diagnostics, whose website looks like a typical website for medical testing services.
https://www.colediagnostics.com/
 
But if you go to the shop tab on his website, you can buy cactus, watches, shoes, perfume, lamps, and backpacks...so I'm not entirely sure what his business is.

But if you believe that pro-Ryan website I listed earlier, it says after diagnosing COVID (presumably through his lab services) that he believes in a multi-vector approach to treating COVID which includes monoclonal antibodies (a treatment which actually works), steroids (which are pretty standard to treat patients having breathing problems), ivermectin (horse de-wormer), hydroxychloroquine (as pushed by the previous administration), the cholesterol drug fenofibrate and the anti-depressant drug fluvoxamine.
 
Fenofibrate, well, there's been a study in the UK and a small one out of Israel suggesting that it could have a positive impact on COVID. 
 
Fluvoxamine, on the other hand, hasn't had a clinical trial. There's been a couple of studies where patients with mild symptoms were given the drug or a placebo then self-reported the results. But so many people dropped out of the study mid-way through that the results, even for what it was, is inconclusive.
 
Fenofibrate is relatively benign as a drug but Fluvoxamine can have serious side effects including increasing the risk of suicide. https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/therapies/immunomodulators/fluvoxamine/
 
So if you believe the pro-Ryan article, he's experimenting on his patients with unproven and possibly dangerous therapies.
 
As for the video, it was posted by thewatchtowers dot org which is a site devoted to conspiracies and which no one takes credit for in the websites "About" section. Their Reddit page say the subjects up for discussion include "Politics, Crime, Economy, UFO's, Conspiracy's, Corruption, Paranormal and Faith".
 
Dealer's choice on whether "the watchtowers" is a reference to Wiccan beliefs or to the Jehovah's Witnesses publication.
 
The video as listed on their own website https://thewatchtowers.org/scientist-shows-vaccine-effects-in-autopsies-dont-believe-it-see-for-yourself-if-you-want/ praises this doctor for being as courageous as America's Frontline Doctors, which is the medical scam site which we've discussed here previously. (Other articles tell such things as how people who are vaccinated set off store alarms because of the vaccine in their body. Another article about how an occupational therapist in Hawaii claims that he's seen 32 elderly people pass away immediately after getting their Moderna vaccination.)
 
The doctor's speech itself:
 
At the one minute mark, he says we've done studies on lab animals and determined that the vaccine when the COVID virus isn't present causes the same diseases in the body that having COVID does. And a few seconds later he says that the vaccine causes COVID. 
 
It would have been nice if he'd mentioned who "we" were and given us a link to the studies themselves. Because multiple studies which conclusively prove that the vaccines cause COVID would be a cause for concern if it were real in any way.
 
He says multiple times that people have died because of the protein spikes floating around in the bloodstream...but he doesn't give any names and doesn't claim to have done any pathological exam of anyone who has died in such a way.
 
He shows pictures of a heart which supposedly has inflammation after the person got the vaccine. But we don't get any "before and after" pictures of the same person to see if the person already had an inflamed heart before getting the vaccine or whether the heart was normal until getting the vaccine. He's also not telling us how many vaccinated people he had to look through before finding one with an inflamed heart (or lung, or whatever).
 
He's also not being clear in admitting that most doctors can look at people who are old, overweight, or have other visible problems and determine just by looking at them that they likely have something or other in their body that's inflamed. So is he finding his examples by randomly picking vaccinated people out of a hat and getting a wide cross-section of people or is he cherry-picking to find the people who most likely have a pre-existing inflammation.
 
He cites a 200 fold increase in a particular heart disease in children which he claims in from them getting the vaccines but doesn't cite a source for his claim. He also doesn't tell us how many cases there were to start with because going from one case to three is dramatic statistically but not a dramatic increase otherwise, even if true.
 
The 16% decrease in fertility in rats cited from the Pfizer study would be concerning if true. (It'd be more concerning if I didn't think the world was way over-populated but that's another matter. And randomly decreasing fertility without publicizing it to people would be ethically wrong regardless, IMO.)
 
At about 8 minutes in, he claims that all the supposed inflammation is caused by micro-clotting...but that you can't see it on "x-ray or scan". He also says "if we look at this in the patients, we know it's micro-clotting (emphasis in the original)".
 
It'd be interesting to find out where he gets this knowledge from looking at this in the patients since normal inflammation isn't caused through blood clots, the pictures he's shown aren't of clots, and the x-rays and scans don't show clots.
 
 
 
I'd normally go through the rest of the video but I'm old and have been doing three doctor appointments and errands all day today and I'm wiped out. If anyone wants to make a request for me to go through the last five minutes of his speech and give my impressions of it, go ahead and ask.
 
In any case, getting back to BitChute.
 
The reason why the website which this video is posted to is relevant to the discussion is that shows up on BitChute rather than a credible website is that the information which is most often posted on BitChute is not credible.
 
And if it were posted on YouTube, it'd be removed because it's a pack of hogswallop which is pretending to be credible information from a doctor who is in the business of trying to sell horse de-wormer, cactus, shoes, and backpacks.
 
Not everything which is posted on BitChute is automatically nonsense. But there's often a reason it shows up there rather than websites which at least try to have some kind of very minimal standards.
 
And the organization which chooses to post a video is often relevant as well. A wiccan-named organization which admits it is into conspiracy theories, UFO's and alternate spirituality...they're probably trying to find information which promotes their point of view rather than be an unbiased source of the news of the day.
