Forgot I wrote this but someone kindly sent it to me this AM so I am sharing the thread of emails plus, what I wrote that should be re-read & passed forward... hopefully.
I wrote this article a while back.
A dear friend sent me this email today, and kindly re-sent my article from January back to me.
Sharing from my friend:
Dear Lindsey,
I ran across this email again today and wanted to say that it is one of the best in-context/with-context person-to-person presentations on these subjects, and the need for open-minded uncensored consideration on critical issues in general! The writing-as-revelation style was also perfect.
Thank you for writing it "way back when". It still applies.
Hugs,
XXXX

Dear Friends,
This is not an easy letter to write.
But my heart is heavy. These words need to be said.
Hope you appreciate my fervor and caring - from whence these words are birthed.
(If you don't want to read the "preamble" you can fast forward to the five Xs)

I am not against vaccines. Nor your right to be vaccinated.
I was in the polio era and remember how the polio vaccine stopped that epidemic.
I have a girlfriend whose son didn't have the meningitis vaccine and almost died from this horrific inflammation (swelling) of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, Meningitis is caused from a bacterial or viral infection - and is preventable by vaccines. Completely.
But, I do believe in open scientific discussion. And our democratic experiment that is supposed to support "the home of the brave and the land of the free."
These new vaccines and the pandemic and how to treat and what is happening to nurses, docs and patients... demands "open" discussion.
Between scientists and physicians.
From both those with diverse opinions and similar opinions.
We are in a pickle and we need to hear from everyone.
Not mainly anchor news persons.
But...
From the vaccine injured.
From the vaccine protected.
From the fired nurses and docs.
From those with Covid treatment success stories.
From those that found - rather early on - diverse inexpensive repurposed drugs... that in many patients... have worked!
And, from those that disagree.
From "all" sides.

Obama had set up an emergency pandemic preparedness system.
This was expanded from the National Security Council to include the Directorate of Global Health Security and Biodefense.
The unit, which focused in large part on "pandemic preparedness", was formed in response to criticism of how Obama's administration handled the Ebola outbreak in 2014-15. Obama was trying to not make the same mistakes.
This 2016 pandemic preparedness program made a lot of sense. It called for, in case of pandemics like an unprecedented virus, the setting up of clinics outside of hospitals, to treat the public. Especially in poor areas. To lessen their vulnerabilities.
It also called for "sleuthing and repurposing of older inexpensive drugs" that might be found to help stop the pandemic. Earlier than later.
This unit was shut down in 2018. Under Trump.
Dr. Pierre Kory is a pulmonologist and critical care physician. Dr. Kory co-founded the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC). Dr. Kory and his group did what these old pandemic preparedness directives asked, they searched for repurposed older medications that demonstrated efficacy and safety against Covid 19.
His group came up with a number of them.
Dr. Kory testified twice to the U.S. Senate regarding COVID-19 sharing some of these medications.
Paul Marik MD was a 25-year veteran ICU doc and also a co-founder of the FLCCC. Dr. Marik also knew about those pandemic preparedness directives.
So, Dr. Marik also searched databases to find inexpensive meds that might help keep people out of the ICU. To keep them from dying.
French studies were showing efficacy with hydroxchloroquine. The FLCCC group found that a special form of high dose prednisone helped greatly (not the 6 mg dexamethasone the NIH presently recommends) as well as some nutrients, like high-dose Vitamin D, all helped. And, more.
Their patients thrived. Especially dark-skinned patients that make less vitamin D from the sun and as a group are more vulnerable to Covid-19, partially due to this physiologic fact.
The survival rate for Dr. Marik's Covid patients in the ICU is twice that of other doctors who use the standard hospital protocol.
Dr. Peter McCullough, a prominent Texas cardiologist, published a peer-review paper on early interventions. That worked. It is the most downloaded paper on Covid from peer review, up to this time as of my knowledge. But yet... Dr. McCullough has been fired and sued.
Dr. Kory and Dr Marik have both been fired - due to their relentless search to help their patients.
For Dr. Kory -- it's been 3 times!
Why? For using safe, re-purposed, cheap drugs.
That work.
_____________________________
Early interventions have been censored. Hospital protocols which improve survival rates have been censored.
Docs that write those scripts threatened. Or fired.
Walgreens and CVS have refused to fill these scripts.
Where are our open discussions between all these diverse options and opinions? So we can listen and think and decide?
Dr. Brian Tyson and Dr. George Fareed also put together a protocol early in March 2020. More early interventions that worked.
Dr. Fareed worked in virology early in his career with Fauci in Washington at the NIAID. But he left DC as he felt "called" to serve the "underserved".
Dr. Fareed moved southeast of San Diego and has treated - for over 25 years - Covid vulnerable populations of Indians and agricultural Hispanic workers.
As of this month, Dr. Fareed and his partner, Brian Tyson MD, have treated close to 10,000 patients. With early inexpensive interventions.
Earlier on, after treating 4,500 patient Dr. F. had a statistician come in and do the stats on their patients - up to that time.
Their death rate was only 0.06%. Three people out of 4.500 extremely high-risk patients.
But their protocols, discussions, and experience have all been censored.
Dr. Fareed and Dr. Tyson have a new book out Overcoming the COVID-10 Darkness: How Two Doctors Sucessfully treated 7,000 Patients which tells their story.
_____________________________________
My interview on early intervention with Dr. McCullough was removed by YouTube. (I am so touched by his courage and appreciative of our growing friendship, my staff and I, with his wife's okay, sent him a man bracelet inscribed with "Stronger Than The Storm")
I had to remove all my interviews with these doctors, like Dr. Fareed, off of You Tube as I was in danger of being completely banned.
If you notice I have been silent on my show, trying to figure out the next steps.
How to keep the interviews going without constantly being taken down and threatened myself?
As a test, today I put up a link of the Senate Round table, that occurred Monday, Jan. 24th 2022.
This was not on the Senate floor. But occurred inside the Senate. So, it now has gone "on record".
In this panel discussion, many doctors who have been doing what Obama first set out to recommend, find early inexpensive answers to shorten a pandemic, told their stories.
Many have successfully treated Covid patients, but have since been fired. So have professors who debate the ethics of what is going on.
A biomedical ethic's professor from the University of Los Angeles at Irvine, who has discussed all this openly with his students, has now been fired.
Nurses discussed their experiences and lawyers laid out data.
I put the link up to this amazing 5-hours of discussion, in my personal (PRIVATE) FB group this morning.
Within 27 seconds it was taken down. It is bipartisan. It is NOT political. It is open discussions with diverse opinions, by educated professionals sharing their experiences. This is what is needed!
Here is that link. The stuff gets good at about 45 minutes in.
Also available on the Highwire
Why, in our "free" society, should these be taken down?
Many of my videos on Covid on YouTube have been taken down. But my audio links have been left up.
Until today.
Today, Mr. Neil Young threatened to take all his music off of Spotify if this platform kept up shows like the Joe Rogan Experience.
Mr. Young said that Mr. Rogan, by interviewing medical doctors like Dr. Malone, was disseminating misinformation.
What about the "land of the free and home of the brave" and the right to free speech?
What about hearing from all sides? In times of duress we need to hear what "all" our most educated are saying.
__________________________
Last week, there was a Rasmussen poll that came out. Gallup has quit the field, so the Rasmussen Reports is the only nationally recognized public opinion firm that still tracks some political party opinions. Especially Dems.
They asked Democrats what they thought about the "unvaccinated".
59% said put them on house arrest.
39% said take their children away.
And on and on.
Reading it was absolutely terrifying.
____________________________
My family has been Democratic for generations. I no longer trust most anybody in politics - unless they truly stand up for "freedom".
From "all" sides.
Why can't we have public forums on TV - for all to hear - all diverse opinions?
Or the voices of the vaccine injured.
Or the scientist that say the vaccine is safe. Debate those that say it is not?
We have presidential debates.
Let's have scientific vaccine debates.
Why do most other country's statistics demonstrate that it is the "vaccinated" that are getting more ill and filling up hospitals? And driving Omicron numbers up?
Why is the US the only country showing disparaging statistics?
Why are we allowing censorship? As well as fraud?
Let's open the windows and let all the sides talk publicly in front of all of us.
I would love to hear Janet Woodcock debate Dr. Marik etc. Let's be in on these conversations - to hear for ourselves.
Not "one side" be banned!
There is no "one side".
There should just be the pursuit of what's factual and what's actual!

Yesterday, I went to see my blessed physiatrist to see what regenerative shots might heal my spinning foot. I mentioned all this to this smart MD. He was shocked. He is, like so many, so busy with his ultra nuanced life, that he has not heard any of this.
But he knows I have a brain and he was interested and shocked to hear what the mainstream narrative is NOT saying.
What is going on should make all of us want to grind our teeth to powder.
If how we are dealing with Covid is right on, why not let the "pro" docs and the "anti" docs talk on air to each other for all of us to hear?
Kind of like that ole Steven Wright comedic line, "I bought a humidifier and a de-humidifier and plugged them into the wall in my living room and let them both battle it out!"
Let's hear what all sides have to say.
And if there is nothing to hide... let's let vaccine injured speak out.
Why do we not take VAERS (vaccine adverse event reporting system) seriously?
______________________________
My kidney doctor, that could not heal my kidney disease over the past 15 years, when I saw him several weeks ago for the first time in 3 years, only to confirm that I now have completely healthy renal function, asked me, "Why aren't you vaccinated?"
I said "I worry for my p53 tumor suppressor protein gene (which has ACE 2 receptors, too) and for my remaining kidney."
He replied, "There has never been one single person injured by these new mRNA vaccines."
I responded, "What about VAERS?"
He answered, "What's VAERS?"
Yeeech.
______________________________
I was a distinguished scholar at an environmental estrogen scientific research group at Tulane (Center for Environmental Research - CBR). I have been writing my dear mentor and his wife throughout the pandemic - but not hearing back. We had been very close.
His wife said I was the first name on the list for his surprise 70th birthday party.
I gifted his wife one of my mom's favorite rings.
Friends/colleagues - for years.
I texted again last week, inquiring how they were and that I loved and missed them. "Hey I wrote, how are you two?"
They texted back they are mad as hell about the unvaccinated driving the pandemic. They didn't say hi, or ask how I was, or anything soft or kind.
They texted in large font, "When will you get vaccinated and double boosted!"
That was it. Hurt my heart... a lot!
__________________________
Why the hatred?
One way to conquer is to divide.
We are being manipulated and divided.
I have two distant friends who got vaccinated. One died the next day. The next got clots the next day. Went to the ER and got anti-clotting meds. Then went home and died next to his wife. None of this is being discussed.
I have 5 friends that had cancer historically. Got vaccinated. 4 to 5 months later, they have a return of cancer. These are not being looked at as possibly vaccine related. Or... at least... where is the discussions about this possibility?
A 41 year old nurse practitioner where I used to work got vaccinated. Is not on birth control pills. And within two months stroked out.
_________________________
Eventually the facts will come out.
But, are we to lose our democracy, our freedoms, before that time?
I love for you to do what you feel is best for yourself and your family. Full on.
But if I feel that my having had Covid already, and it having been easy, and now having natural immunity, is safer for me than being vaccinated, why should my freedoms be sacrificed?
Why should someone like me be mandated?
The unvaccinated that have already have had Covid, do NOT pass forward Covid. Yet the undocumented very pubic narrative of that being the case is what most of the country is hearing, while putting their feet up at night in their lazy chairs.
Also, some very famous functional docs are pro-vaccine, not wanting to lose their status or monies or job, if they stood against the tide.
Where are the Naturopathic Colleges that had a perfect opportunity to talk about health mandates and veggies and immunity and vitamin D? But they have been silent. And demand vaccinated students or you can't go sit in their classrooms.
The chiropractic profession has stood up and not required D.C.s to be vaccinated or to require their patients be vaccinated, even in California. They have been vilified for this.
XXXXX - End of "Preamble"
The question that rings in my brain, is not so much the debate about vaccines, but why are "early interventions" that now are shown to work by highly educated long-term physicians, being censored.
Why are discussions about these, being censored?
Vaccines may help reduce severe reactions - especially in high-risk groups - like the elderly.
But how many would have gone on to a serious calamity with this illness, if they had access to early intervention in the first place?
This should make all of us quake in our boots!

My Wish
I want you to think the way it makes sense for YOU to think.
But I do not want you to force me to lose my ability to interview, to write or to travel.
I love the United States of America and write this in hopes of adding to the "cohesiveness of our purple mountains majesty", rather than to the "shrill of widening polarization".
Let's call for public debate.
Let's hear both sides.
All sides.
We all want to be as safe as possible. We need to know more about details that come from transparent conversations from seasoned smart people, no matter what side they are on.
Let's not let the pharmaceutical industry and collaborative governmental relationships, blind you to bigger pictures, whatever the tincture of time will unfold them to be.
Let's learn what is truly safer for your loved ones, children and lineage.
Let's hear it all.
Bring it on.
When has censorship ever promoted freedom and health?
Let the facts stand up. The voices be heard. Our country stay whole. And, you and me be friends.
Let's agree to disagree, but let's agree to not hate nor hide.
Hoping you're still here, and still well.
Dr. B.
Very sad how divided this country is. People don’t looking for the truth, you have to dig deep to find true info & facts. As who are reading your substack and others we know better. Looks like America rather hear & believe the lies than to make some effort, use the brain & logic. We living in very trying time, this time is dictating to us we have to be visible and vocal & speak & listen and tell others about the facts. If we don’t speak now, we‘ll lose the battle for better future.
Thank you dr Lindsey for all you doing, your persistence & speaking to the whole world.
When I met Dr B, I had lost hope. With advanced CKD and badgering from nephrologist, endocrinologist & PCP for me and my disabled daughter to get the dreaded vaccines, I felt all alone in the world. I had to hire an Atty to stop her special needs program from giving the vaxs to her. We were shamed and called dangerous to society. In fact, we are the only ones who are not constantly sick like the vax’d.
My neurologist still suggests I get vaccines but no longer badgers me. Thanks to Dr. B’s loving care my CKD improved....I am so grateful for her! ❤️
