I thought the ACOG was bad but The ABIM wants to take “misinformation “ internists licenses away. Licensure boards will continue silence physicians.

Oh ya Doc, we can never stop or give in to world control, for humanity’s stake.

Let’s just say it’s in our DNA to be free! 🤷‍♂️🙏

What a great story....thanks for sharing. And as others have already mentioned, you are not alone in sending off some message to an unintended recipient. We have all done it. But your experience was definitely funnier than mine! Thanks for the humor and for doing what you do. All at FLCCC are heros and are so appreciated.

Oh gaawwdd!! 😂 Whoever comes up with a way to retrieve/stop “sent” emails and texts is going to be a multimillionaire!!

Thank you for sharing this fascinating story, I can relate to all those clamoring to participate.

And I sigh when reading about the refusal for publication. That’s gratitude for ya...

Greatly appreciated this one, I needed a laugh as "monkeypox" descends on us. Our mainstream and WEF buddies are moving along with their fearporn - https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/23/belgium-introduces-mandatory-monkeypox-quarantine-as-global-cases-rise.html - Thanks for keeping it real. Reading your substack helps me internalize I'm not the crazy one in an insane world.

I forgot to say that maintaining your sanity in an insane world is a sign that you are not only resistant to menticide (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-menticided-a-12-step) but that you are a Badass German (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/are-you-a-good-german-or-a-badass), so congratulations on both counts :-)

Once again the quote “Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we start to deceive.”

In addition to this welcome hilarious story it plays into my thoughts this morning related to personal pride and how good it feels to be willing to question it in ourselves and others.Also how it is not we who rescue animals (the vaunted self-puffery of people when they announce: “It’s a rescue.”). The animals rescue us. We are all animals. Evolution is fine and all as long as we remember just where we came from. These times we live in are not simply a political Revolution.

Everyone back in the day had a terrible reply-to-all story! The wonderful thing is that you exist, both empathic and utterly jazzed by solving the complex puzzles of illness. When it seems like some huge percentage of the world is transforming into dark triad psychopaths and facultative sociopaths, you and the FLCCC stand as testament to the fact that what is best and truly forward moving in humanity still exists. I'm not exaggerating! (And I loved the brave Fox op-ed. They keep shunting us into political silos to divide us, trying to make us identify ourselves by category on every level. Now I think there's just the Pro-Death Movement (Fauci et al) and the rest of us. Thank goodness for you!)

Fascinating. I like your point about the missed opportunity to showcase a really impactful collaboration. What I learned later is that the particular zoo in question has been famously secretive about everything.. unlike other zoos. I was pretty pissed that they wouldnt let us write up a case report.. as you can see

Too bad they declined your offer. I am a retired veterinarian. Didn’t work with zoo animals, but the projects that I saw as collaborative work for zoos who coordinated veterinarians and human medical practitioners got the BEST public PR imaginable. Those folks missed a great opportunity to showcase their caring, compassion and cooperation. Water is already under that bridge though.

Don’t think for a minute that we ALL don’t have our own versions of ‘shop talk’ that is not intended for public consumption, but is nevertheless humorous and spot on.

Lucky for me, my patients never repeated what they heard in the ‘back room’!

You folks at FLCCC are my heroes. Don’t forget that.

agreed ... I especially loved the photographs !!! To see an intubated Orangatang named Winaka in the great care of such an amazing 'ZooTeam' was absolutely priceless!
