Appreciate you sharing your story and your persistence in fighting for what’s right. I know it doesn’t hold a candle to losing a career path but I was fired for refusing a jab and subsequent masking mandates attached to that. Thankfully I’ve found another nursing job but the deep disappointment may take a lifetime to really get through. I’ve realized that those working in the system are generally the least curious and the most indoctrinated into a tiny box they call ‘science.’
There must be a reason why doctors are so doctrinaire (best word I could think of). Maybe it’s because that there are in fact an almost infinite number of practices and procedures that have a clear right way to be done, and reflect years of practice and refinement.
So I can attempt to understand how reactionary the Texas Tech establishment was when you questioned and criticized them for their covid response. Rather than make logical, fact based arguments the reacted as if you had advocated blood letting or leeches. It simply isn’t done.
I assume doctors are by definition very smart, but I’m seeing also that they are excellent rule followers, and so will reject anything that is not literally by the book to the point that they did what they did to you.
Great response to an incredible injustice Kevin. Well done on being a tower of strength too. And a truly impressive writer btw. All the best mate. You are helping many people. I Iove seeing the truth come out, it’s like pure oxygen. Thank you.
Don't give up, don't forget, don't forgive. You're an inspiration to others like me who should have done more and not have worried so much what speaking the truth might do to our 'careers'. My own son was also a medical student at the time. He refused to even discuss any of the covid stupidity with his parents. He just said they had been warned by their medical board to toe the line. He'd probably have ended up where you did if he did not comply.
Kevin, I predict there will be a time, if it hasn’t come already, when you will realize what happened to you was in fact a miracle. There have been multiple times in my personal and professional life when something that seemed like a disaster was the best thing that could possible have happened to me. These were events where I would have preferred to just not wake up in the morning. But I did, and am grateful that they happened as they did.
This is conjecture on my part, but this may be as simple as that you were rejected by this culture now, instead of in mid-career when you would have far fewer options. It’s everyone’s loss that medicine seems to reward conformity and reject original thinking, but that is the reality and can’t be changed.
My own employer, while not explicitly forcing me into it, kept making it clear into 2021 that the unvaccinated was a problem for them (I knew of only myself and one other in an office of about 100 gullibles) to the point that I almost relented. I held out though and probably would have succeeded if a family health crisis did not force my hand having to fly abroad very urgently. I hated doing it, but ordered the first jab in haste, then the 2nd within a week after seeking special permission, yet still got stopped at the airport the next day saying it was too soon after. The smug attendant told me I first had to get a PCB test done and did not care that it was going to delay my plans by at least 24h to get to an unwell family member before it was too late. The last-minute flight cancellation stole another 6h of my time trying to change my flight. There's nothing to forgive here.
Excellent reflection on a good response to an injury, especially a systemic one. In thinking deeply about forgiveness, I think you actually mean tolerance in this post. Forgiveness is the willingness to absorb the pain of an injury, not returning it to the person(s) who injured us, but honestly and openly talking about the injury. Truth telling is essential in forgiveness. Forgiveness is the willingness to reconcile if the abuser will confess honestly, make the significant changes in behavior or structure that remove future injury, and turn with open trust and a willing reconciliation to the one they injured.
Your will to fight a rotten system in hope for change is nothing but remarkable. I wish you all the strength you need. Thank you for letting us learn about how sick the health industry actually is. 🙏😎
Wow. Very well written and all very true. If this were a memoir I would be eagerly turning the page to see what comes next. I am now curious how institutions crumble.
I am 75. I was married to an excellent lady GP for 18 years. She practised medicine in the UK and in Australia. She has piles of diplomas. Her patients love her. However, I have never listened to her advice. I have not taken any vaccines or medications or have visited a doctor (except for a knee broken in a car accident) in 60 years. I am healthy. Normal. My weight is 75kg as it was 50 years ago. I never diet. I eat nice foods that I cook myself.
I have never met a doctor over 50 who is healthy. They believe their own BS. The most stupid people I have ever known. My ex tried to get me on to statins - because it is in the guidelines. Today, there is ample evidence that statins are toxic.
Germ theory is a lie. There are no pandemics. Viruses do not exist. There is no proof that germs cause disease. They are the cleanup crew that comes from within the body. They are polymorphic. They change shape depending on the task in hand. When they finish their work, the body takes care of them.
The British tried for 43 years at their "Common Cold Unit" to infect people with the common cold. Without success.
More and more people are waking up to the scam that is allopathic medicine. Chronic diseases are caused by vaccines, medications and other toxins. Cancer is a metabolic disease. There is nothing genetic about it.
I respectfully suggest that you find another activity. Conventional medicine is in the process of losing all credibility.
recently I came across a Substack named Lies are unbecoming and read what you state here. I think you are right. The more I see people run to the doctor the sicker they get. I only go when all else fails, and that is may be a couple of times in 5 years. The last one was quite nice but tried to get me on blood pressure meds, which I took for a few weeks, measured my pressure myself and found it to be okay - stopped the pills. With the help of herbs and homeopathic products, one can usually heal most things, and as you say, healthy food is a must as well.

"The right question is not “How do I stop feeling this?” but “What does this require of me?”
Excellent.
Thanks for your perseverance. It matters to us all, whether we acknowledge or even realize it.

Keep that holiness and hold it close to your heart. You are an inspiration. 🙏❤️
