Dr. Pierre Kory: Biden is Extending the COVID-19 Emergency and Prolonging Big Pharma's War on Doctors

??@COVID19Up: The Biden administration and Big Pharma are using COVID-19 as an excuse to circumvent your doctor and make decisions about your health, warns (https://pierrekory.substack.co....m/p/my-op-ed-on-the- Dr. Pierre Kory in a new article published (https://thefederalist.com/2022..../07/22/biden-is-exte Saturday (July 22) in the Federalist.

Biden's presidency has continued to fall fantastically short of the promises that drew many Democrats—including Dr. Pierre Kory—to his candidacy in 2020: the pledge for a new strategy against COVID-19.

What a mess.

"Consider the FDA's recent decision allowing pharmacists to play doctor and prescribe Pfizer’s anti-viral treatment Paxlovid," Dr. Kory writes. "Why is the FDA encouraging this?"

The answer that has emerged to anyone following the plight of independent doctors the last two years is not very encouraging.

"Our public health agencies—heavily influenced by the pharmaceutical industry and beholden to Biden’s 'vaccine first' approach—are committed to diminishing the medical profession and centralizing authority with bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. They have prosecuted a relentless campaign to reduce physicians to cogs in a health care system that is aggressively transforming all medical professionals from providers to prescribers," explains Dr. Kory.

"FDA granted Pfizer emergency use authorization for the drug after a single trial with questionable results. The medicine has many contraindications, meaning it can’t be taken by someone who simultaneously would be taking certain anti-depressants, anti-seizure, anti-psychotic, cholesterol, or blood pressure medications."

The problems with Paxlovid are widespread and no secret—yet the mass roll out is still happening. In fact as Pierre points out, nearly half of American adults cannot even take Paxlovid, given that they have cardiovascular disease.

"Nevertheless, pharmacies have spent months and millions of dollars lobbying for the right to play doctor and prescribe Paxlovid," Dr. Kory continues.

"The pharmaceutical industry, led by Pfizer and in league with the Biden administration, is waging war against independent doctors who refuse to cede control over patient well-being—and they are winning."
