Thanks Pamela, TBH I sort of feel bad because I had the sense he might have been having a manic episode and I dont want to criticize anyone when they are down/ill, I was sort of hoping he would retract his theories but it ain't looking that way given I hear he is selling snakebite antidote on his website, ugh.

So grateful for your detailed thoughts on this, Dr. Kory. I have been wondering your take on all of this. Looking forward to reading your book! ~ Kellie Burkhart

I appreciate your analysis, but I do wonder if it isn’t possible or likely that *you* do not believe that hospital covid-protocol victims are dying of sedative misuse/overdoses, because *you* do not misuse sedatives and try to kill people? The case of Grace Schara is of a 19 yr old young woman with Down syndrome whose records clearly indicate she died of sedative misuse, she was not dosed with remdesivir at all, (or even vented) but instead strapped down to her bed, given max doses of precidex, then 3 doses of Lorazapram and then a morphine ‘push’ all within minutes preceding her death. An armed guard stood outside her door as she died. Her dad, Scott Schara is making the rounds on any media platform that will have him, telling her detailed story.

Personally all three of my recently widowed friends whose husbands died of hospital protocols after Covid, all three died of sepsis/multiple organ failure while intubated and under extremely heavy sedation following rounds of remdesivir - so multiple organ failure/sepsis sure doesn’t seem rare to me.

Stacy Ogrensek is another friend making her story known who reports her husband waking while intubated only for the medical staff to rush to push him deeply under again. I’m in a group of widows/widowers looking for justice on FB and their stories of extreme sedation are nearly universally consistent, seems to be a major factor in the hospitals bent on killing people as the surviving spouses comb over the hospital records. In particular the unvaccinated seem to be targeted with many mentions of their unV’d status throughout their reports, just as in Grace Schara’s 22 doctor’s reports; the fact that she had Down syndrome was mentioned 36 times. Seems like eugenics based medical ‘care’ may be targeting those on Medicare and Medicaid and those noncompliant with V’s. I think *you* try to save people, but I think others in white coats do not.

The idea of some kind of ‘venom’ being involved is interesting as many of these spouses report seeing their loved ones skin sloughing off all over their bodies, arms hands, legs, feet, backs.

🤷‍♀️

Anyhow, thank you for this extensive analysis and all your hard work, you Rock.

Regarding the sloughing of skin, of which I had seen images and videos early on from those receiving the experimental vaccine, it appears to be similar to Stevens-Johnson syndrome. High levels of inflammation that systemically burns the flesh off usually from a severe allergic reaction.

Thank you for taking the time to assess this theory. As a layperson I had no idea if any of it could possibly have any merit. It speaks volumes to your character that you were willing to delve into something that other MDs would simply write off as nutso. You mentioned that you were sometimes wrong in your diagnoses, and that you and other experts sometimes disagree. How refreshing! Imagine if Fauci and company adopted this attitude? Ha. That’s crazier than the snake venom theory.

I appreciate Dr. Kory's analysis and don't think it was a waste of time at all. Imagine if masking or social distancing or Remdesivir or vaccines had even the same two hours worth of examination at CDC?

What's wrong with seeing some interesting connections, embellishing it with spooky music, and sharing it with the world in the most dramatic manner possible? Ardis has contributed more to science than Fauci at this point, with far less harm.

Good grief. You have the patience of Job. I could only listen to Ardis for a few minutes, much less tease out all of the details. My gut was proven right. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to write this post. As Dr Syed Mobeen spent an entire day researching his video post on the same subject, clearly you are in good company. What I most appreciate is your unique vantage point as a Pulmonologist, and Intensivist, have cared for hundreds of patients in the pulmonary phase of the disease. Whether Dr Ardis is well intentioned and off track, engaging in self promotion, or worse, part of the controlled opposition intended to discredit and deride our efforts to treat early and effectively, I don’t know. But his actions have certainly stoked the anxieties of many and squandered a great deal of collective energy. Forget about horse paste; now we’ve got snake venom. Two questions I ask myself: How would this have gone differently if Dr Ardis had conferred with his professional peers to examine his hypothesis, rather than engage in science by media blitz? And because he did not ask his peers, why does it remind me so much of a move from the disinformation playbook of Big Pharma?

yeah Scott, the whole episode is quite strange. As I said to another commenter, I fear he may have been suffering a manic episode and I was hoping he would retract/correct his assertions into at least a more gentle hypothesizing tone (noting that offering diagnoses like this without examining/speaking with him is hazardous/wrong but if my hunch is true, it would be the most forgivable and understanding reason for this episode.

You're handling this like a champ!

You’re right. Dr. Ardis should’ve asked Dr. Kory, etc first and then they could’ve collectively gone public with the info.

Thanks Pierre for another masterpiece (even IF a good bit snarky). I have also listened to / watched a LOT of Ardis; discarded him when the snake venom first came up, but recently have taken a dive back in his stuff. First, by way of, uninvolved if very sympathetic, empathy for his background; his first son was born was he was prepping for the MCAT, intending to GO the med school. For this baby's first four months, the child screamed all the time, could not swallow food without throwing it up, could only sleep laying on Ardis's or his wife's body, having his head held in one position -- and if his head moved the baby woke up screaming... Could not poop. (remember: Ardis was 26-yr-old KID with his first son!) They took the poor thing to NINE MDs -- all of whom prescribed antibiotics and no help. (The ninth prescribed yet another antibiotic, immediately after which the child had a grand mal seizure -- and this doctor too, asked what ARDIS had done.)

At some point, Ardis injured HIS shoulder, and was sent to a rehab clinic. First visit his son screamed his head off the entire time out in the waiting room. Second visit, the "therapist" (Ardis thought) asked him to bring the child into the exam room. (Ardis THOUGHT it was to keep the baby from annoying the others in the waiting room.) The 'therapist' ran a finger up and down the baby's back, turned and asked if it was forceps or vacuum extraction birth. (Ardis had described earlier how the attending had grasped the child's head, cutting the tips of BOTH its ears and birthed the poor thing bleeding from both sides of his head and left massive bruising on its head.)

The therapist turned out, of course, to BE a chiro (Ardis has never HEARD of chiropractic!) ... and with permission adjusted the poor screaming thing's neck (specific C1 gets twisted, and presses on 10 nerves... including eating/digesting and pooping nerves...) As child kept screaming, Ardis stormed out and drove off and after 5 minutes or so, the kid went silent. Ardis pulled over, went to the back seat and checked, thinking the baby had died... but still breathing...

Kid slept for 8 hours; Ardis and his wife set a timer for 10 min, and checked on him every 10 min for eight hours! After 8 hrs they came in, the baby was lying on his back looking around. Ardis called the "therapist" back to report and ask HOW the hell he knew to do what he had.

Long story sho... well, slightly shorter... that chiro called the Pres of a some chiro college (out west somewhere) and Ardis became both an ENEMY to the ortho-docs' medical establishment -- and a chiro, a nutrition specialist of some sort; he studied acupuncture, and some other fields...

(He also fired the ob for one of his 4 other kids' births. When she arrived late; kid was coming sun-side up and she had told the nurses to push the baby back up IN the canal and keep it there till she arrived... When she rushed in, she grabbed the forceps -- which she had SIGNED a contract with Ardis to not use. He fired her and kicked her out. HE sent the nurses to go find the ... I forget what it's called -- the bar you drape the birthing mother over to allow GRAVITY to help ... and delivered his own child.)

Let me finish by writing... I still have a heaping load of caution about Ardis. Is it because he seems confident/arrogant and a bit sleazy? (You come across confident/arrogant and NOT sleazy.) Don't know. However *I* now share his vehement distrust and anger towards ortho-docs and the system they inhabit (and protect/defend!). Having just watched the ortho-docs MURDER a million or more, by omission and commission, and injured several million more -- and STILL PROCLAIMING THEIR INNOCENCE (ignorance!) ... how ELSE should I approach any doc NOT yet awakened as you and 'our' team are! (That's NOT missing a "y" -- I am still your stalker across the web, "pre-bought" your book from the start, and will always follow you.)

Your essay adds heaps to my distrust of Ardis ... however, I DO wonder if you have TRIED nicotine gum or patches on some of your more intractable problems... You were dubious way back when; and you and the miraculous Paul held off adding IVM to your list of good things... Or IV Vit C, until you tried it. (Or black seed oil!) What IF nicotine and it alpha-7-nicotine-something-something receptors all over the body CAN work / be helpful / be an addition? Ardis is NOT stupid -- and his high frustration at being ignored by the NON-ortho-docs who refuse to look at his work remind me a LOT of your frustration about hydroxy and IVM!

In our practice, we have seen a patient demonstrate benefit, and a patient get worse with a Nicotine patch. Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor. As Dr Jordan Vaughn is demonstrating, and as we are seeing in our own patients, there is a preponderance of fibrin amyloid microclotting in the capillaries of many vax injured, and a sizable minority of long haul patients. This results in ischemic conditions systemically. Vasoconstriction under these circumstances, which could exacerbate hypoxia in the heart, brain, GI tract and organs, not to mention nerves throughout the periphery, is a non-starter from a fundamental understanding of anatomy and physiology.

"I would think and think, considering diagnosis after diagnosis, assessing whether the constellation of symptoms and findings I was witnessing could match what I knew of the multiple diagnoses I was considering and at times I would google scholar the constellation of symptoms or the most impactful one.. and then I would try to “fit” the diagnosis to my patient and in some instances I would venture too far down a specific diagnostic pathway by ignoring data or evidence which “didn’t fit” only to find I was completely wrong with my diagnosis. I get it."

Thank you for this. Thank you for trying to saving patients' lives.

*lol* No need to feel embarrassed, Dr. Kory. A couple of hours spent debunking something that threatens to discredit those of us questioning the narrative is worth it, and I appreciate your saving me the time—although I immediately sensed this was click-baity sensationalism from the moment I saw the initial teaser and decided then not to go down that rabbit-hole.

I do appreciate Bryan Ardis’s exposure of remdesivir’s lethality and have linked to his video about that in past articles, but I agree he has gone off course with this theory, and analyzing its merits/faults is a service to the scientific community.

On another note, I know you and your People’s Convoy colleagues are working hard to defeat the COVID tyranny bills in California. I have written a letter to the California legislature and provide instructions on how people can submit their letters of opposition after the essay:

• “Letter to the California Legislature” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-california-legislature/)

Hoping you can help get the word out so we can flood the legislature with so many opposition comments they will be unable to ignore the voices of the people.

Thank you for fighting the good fight, Dr. Kory, as ever!

Thank you for addressing this! It seemed awfully illogical to me and unfortunately these kind of things can easily be used against those who question the official narrative. I really appreciate your expertise, experience and all you have done to care for patients and to fight against the nonsense. Thank you Dr. Kory!

Thank you for your take on this, Dr. Kory. After watching the Stew Peters episode with Bryan Ardis, I found myself questioning, could *they* possibly be "poisoning" us. And, I have to admit, I was gripped by fear for a brief moment, okay, a few hours. Just like March 2020, washing my grocery containers before opening them, leaving my mail out in the sun for a few days before opening it, sanitizing my fruit, need I go on? I'm grateful for your time spent to enlighten us. *They* have fed us so much crap. As you say, ENOUGH. I don't believe many individuals anymore and certainly not our government, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag. Just can't believe I spent most of my time on this planet buying into all the B.S. Thanks for being the voice of reason and thanks to your organization for being a group we can trust. I will never forget how you helped me save my husband and family. You are appreciated.

My basic question to you is why did you not address Professor Chilton, the researcher from the U of Arizona who found the venom enzyme in the blood of ICU deaths in hight amounts. Its linked in the video I believe and here is what I wrote about the whole thing.

The article you linked is referencing this page: https://news.arizona.edu/story/venom-coursing-through-body-researchers-identify-mechanism-driving-covid-19-mortality

Which identifies the enzyme in question asn Phsopholipase A2, which Dr Kory did cover in his article, saying that elevations can be found in a number of critical illnesses, ie it can be made in the human body. I think Dr Mobeen spent over an hour on this one point if I'm not mistaken.

"And is what happened here in my opinion, albeit way further down an erroneous diagnostic pathway than I have heard (or seen broadcast for that matter).

In summary, unfortunately (or fortunately) this is all the time I can devote to the above ranting of a truth, partial truths, and irrelevancies littered with blatant untruths, inaccuracies, and ignorances. I wish I could get these two hours of my life back."

Please know that legions do look to you and getting the complex but understandable analysis is priceless. Nothing funner than a classy smack down & this is a knockout. Doctors for we the people are rock stars delivering the goods that empower us for "Informed Consent" we love you too the moon and back for that.. write on Dr. Pierre!
