Society now finds itself a passenger on a ship which has been taken over by ideologues. The ship is heading for the rocks. Lookouts stationed high above can see the disaster unfolding and urgently inform the captain of the ship. The captain solves the problem by throwing the lookouts overboard. This is the dystopian world in which we now live.
For many years I was heavily involved in medical associations on the local, state, and national levels.
The policy of medicine gradually became the politics of medicine.
One would have thought that organized medicine, and academic medicine in particular, would have rallied to their defense, but that was not the case.
Back in 2019, before the Great COVID disaster, Baffy and associates warned us of a change that was occurring in medical and scientific publishing.
Medicine seems, at least to me, to have become the Willing Servant of an Unholy Trinity of Big Pharma, Big Tech and Big Politics.
Although the proponents of the transformation may claim it is being done for a "Greater good," that excuse has been used before in medicine of some nations of the last century.
