‘Medical Gaslighting’: Physicians Speak Out Against COVID Policies, Call for Reform
By Brenda Baletti, Ph.D. | The Defender | June 5, 2023
The Global Health Project last week released a video titled “The Oath,” in which physicians describe the effect on doctors, patients and the healthcare system of silencing dissent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The filmmakers also called on doctors to commit to making foundational changes so that what happened during the pandemic never happens again.
The film features six doctors — Elizabeth Lafay, D.O., Steven Klayman, D.C., Timothy Stonesifer, D.O., Molly Rutherford, M.D., MPH, Michael Turner, M.D., and Amy Offutt, M.D. — who said they are “saying what tens of thousands of silenced medical professionals from all over the world have not been able to say.”
Throughout the video, they respond to a series of questions.
Responding to the first question, “When did you begin to have doubts?” they described how they lost faith in institutions such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Lancet and the pharmaceutical companies as they saw well-respected doctors silenced, articles retracted and corrupted clinical trials exposed.
It became clear the agencies were not acting in the public interest, Turner said, because “they’re captured, they’re paid off, they’re corrupt.“
In response to the second question, “How have people been harmed?” they discussed spiking levels of anxiety and depression that began with the fearmongering at the start of the pandemic.
Lafay described working in the ER during the early days of the pandemic when the hospitals emptied out and there were few COVID-19 patients — but many people arriving with “horrible, debilitating anxiety and depression.”
People stuck at home in front of the television absorbed the message “Stay home, don’t be with your family, don’t be with your friends. Isolate, hibernate,” Offutt said. “It’s really taken its toll.”
“People are fearful and I think that was the goal, to make people fearful and be forced into taking this vaccine,” Klayman added.
They said many people no longer trust the medical profession because doctors have been silent on what happened and that many doctors felt they could not speak out.
As the names of pharmaceutical giants such as Novartis, Merck, Pfizer, GSK (formerly GlaxoSmithKline), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and others flashed across the screen, Lafay said:
“It’s really tough because we’re all owned at this point. It’s easier for me to come on camera maybe and say some things like this because I am an independent practitioner now. If you don’t have your [own] practice, then you really can’t help people.
“And I think that is where a lot of [practitioners’] fear comes from, the fear of not being employed.”
But there are larger moral issues at stake, too, Klayman said, adding: “Are you going to give in to what is wrong? Or are you going to fight for what is right?”
Offutt said she thought “fixing the broken system” begins with rebuilding the doctor-patient relationship. Doctors used to spend more time with patients, she said, but then, “It became a business, and I was just one of the employees.”
“There is uniformity and conformity that’s encouraged, and the decision-makers at the top usually are not physicians, and this is a big problem, right?” Turner asked. Instead, they are lawyers looking to minimize risk and accountants looking to maximize profits.
When doctors work for these corporations, Lafay said, insurance and pharmaceutical companies are calling the shots:
“We don’t really have a voice anymore. We’re not really making choices that are best for our patients. We’re checking boxes.
“Unless we fight for the doctor-patient relationship and work to maintain privacy and decision-making that is based on an individual patient scenario, then that will be lost. The art of medicine will be gone, and we may as well be replaced by artificial intelligence.”
The doctors said in order to heal, you should “own your health” — eat well, get sunshine, move around, connect in person and to other people.
“I think doctors who maybe did some things that they regret should come out and acknowledge what they did and assure patients that they’re going to learn from it and change,” Rutherford said. “And then I think we need the truth. We need to investigate, why did all of this happen and how can we keep this from ever happening again?”
Turner said people from across the political spectrum and all walks of life are starting to come together around principles such as “accountability, honesty, respect, self-determination, bodily autonomy, freedom.”
“There’s an awakening going on, so it’s exciting and we’re gonna come out the other side,” he said.
The video closes with the oath:
“I solemnly swear to listen to my patients, respect their wishes, and together make the best choices for that individual and to do no harm.”
Video marks launch of Global Health Project
The video release marked the launch of the Global Health Project, an organization hoping to raise awareness of the coercive power exerted on society by global health agencies during the COVID-19 pandemic and to build a movement to create a better system.
The group began as a conversation among physicians and health researchers about what happened during the pandemic and how to make sure it doesn’t happen again, Andrea Nazarenko, Ph.D., a spokesperson for the organization, told The Defender.
The group hopes the video will open the door for conversation, Katarina Lindley, D.O., family physician and another group spokesperson, said.
A doctor might hear the physicians’ stories and say, “That’s exactly how it happened to me,” she said. Or, patients can go to their doctors and raise these issues with them.
Lindley also said that statements by global leaders, the World Health Organization’s proposed pandemic treaty and amendments to the International Health Regulations, and other evidence point to the fact something like the COVID-19 pandemic can happen again, and if it does, the Global Health Project wants to build an informed and connected public. She continued:
“So our hope is that by sharing these stories, by empowering the public as well, we want them to question things … when new things come along. And if they feel in their gut something is wrong, they need to trust their gut, then they really become advocates for themselves, for their family, for their friends.
“And I’m hoping that physicians will remember why they took the Hippocratic oath … And there’s lots of things that we need to start questioning that maybe we didn’t question before.”
While the changes they are talking about are systemic, Lindley said it starts in the doctor-patient relationship.
When someone’s car breaks down, she said, they usually try to find a good mechanic by asking friends and shopping around.
“I think when it comes to medicine and healthcare, we kind of almost need to do the same thing. Shop around … interview your doctor. Even if you have insurance and you’re assigned to a doctor, you don’t have to accept the doctor.”
People can find doctors who are independent, who have “stepped away from the matrix, as I call it,” Lindley said, so they can build great relationships with patients.
Nazarenko added:
“Ultimately, what we experienced during the pandemic was traumatic. We are suffering from collective trauma at a societal level. Just like any other trauma, this trauma will not disappear by ‘moving on’ and ‘forgetting about it.’ Trauma must be processed.
“Unfortunately, what we are facing right now is the mainstream narrative telling us to ‘forget about it,’ to ‘just move on,’ and to ignore our feelings (‘just let it go’). This is medical gaslighting at a population level. In any other relationship, we would identify this as the behavior of an abuser.
“If we want to move on and create a world of togetherness, we need to talk about it. We don’t all need to agree on everything — but we need to have the conversation.
“Silence leaves us vulnerable to this happening again. They separated us for a reason. This video is about bringing people together again and engaging in authentic conversations.”

Chinese ‘Secret Police Stations’… Fact or Fiction?
Canadian Patriot | May 28, 2023
In this first of a series of Canadian Patriot short films debunking anti-China Psyops, we ask the question ‘Is there actual evidence that secret Chinese Police Stations have been set up around the world as part of a Communist subversion of western freedom? This film will evaluate whether the single source used to justify this claim (a Spain-based human rights group called Safeguard Defenders) actually proves its accusations, and what actually controls it?
Stay tuned for future videos in this series which will investigate claims of Chinese election interference in Canada, Russian interference in the USA, Chinese spy balloon attacks, and more.

Death and denial inside the Covid Cult
By Guy Hatchard | TCW Defending Freedom | May 30, 2023
The writer is in New Zealand
The British Heart Foundation (BHF) has announced that the incidence of atrial fibrillation has increased by 50 per cent over the last decade. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a condition which causes an irregular and often rapid heart rate. It can lead to stroke and heart failure. The BHF did not release any supporting figures by year which might point to a potential cause. Here Dr John Campbell describes both the huge rise in AF and the lack of detailed data as ‘astonishing’.
Here in New Zealand heart disease is at record levels, but politicians of all parties are repeating again and again that there are no excess deaths. As if repeating a lie will make it come true. However the official tally of OECD statistics shows that in 2023 New Zealand deaths are running at an astonishing 18.2 per cent above the long-term average – the second-highest rate among 31 OECD nations.
This doesn’t appear to matter one whit to our politicians, who remain confident they are the one source of truth, fully in control of mainstream media, backed by the medical establishment, able to censor social media, protected from the courts by parliamentary privilege and not required to answer any questions.
It probably hasn’t escaped your notice that all these are recognised characteristics of cult leaders who systematically manipulate their followers and seek to exercise total control. To say that cults do not end well would be an understatement. Once your followers are sufficiently prepped to ignore fact, any crooked and perverted manipulation becomes a possibility.
Once indoctrinated, it is difficult to persuade cult followers they have been duped. Leaders ensure that every event that runs counter to their ideology is neatly fitted into their world view whether based on fact or not. It becomes especially damaging when the force of law is used to ensure compliance and eliminate redress.
You can hardly avoid news of sudden-onset illness or unexpected deaths in the daily newspapers or among friends, but there is always an innocuous-sounding cause on offer. If considered rationally, the unprecedented number of unusual deaths would render these excuses implausible. However, cults don’t do rational.
This brings us to a rather sad realisation: with all the elected political parties complicit in Covid policy, it is almost ludicrous to believe that the coming election will change anything. Prepandemic, our current situation was almost inconceivable, but quietly disaster has been creeping up on us.
Published in 2020, an article in Harvard University Health Publishing gives us a hint. Senior Editor Robert Shmerling argues that it is not possible or even practical as a medical practitioner to be guided by ‘do no harm’ as the Hippocratic oath suggests, instead saying: ‘You can’t tell ahead of time whether a test or treatment will “do no harm”.’ In other words, it has become widely accepted in medical practice that adverse events are inevitable and unpredictable. This is an argument which seeks to justify the irresponsible push for risky and dangerous biotech medicine and experimentation at any cost.
So what will change minds? When you look at Ponzi schemes, dictators and cults, the answer is always the same. They end when total disaster strikes. Just how high will excess deaths have to rise before the powers that be accept that a giant mistake has been made?
Inside the Covid cult there are a few cracks appearing in the ‘safe and effective’ narrative. It has quietly become acceptable for doctors to advise their patients privately that they might be vaccine-injured, for pathologists to advise the children of friends that they should avoid Covid vaccination, for vaccinologists to say they won’t be getting any more boosters. These are small steps which indicate a direction of change and that those at the health front line know something has gone radically wrong.
However, the political and media endorsement of biotechnology remains near-total. Given the weight of Covid science publishing, there is no justification for this.
The suggestion that New Zealand’s pandemic policy has been world-beating is a hollow lie, pandering to notions of national pride and allegiance. Like the medicos who think it is impossible to ‘do no harm’, politicians are denying the obvious. By doing so they are tacitly endorsing inevitable deaths in the course of policy. This is a militaristic, self-obsessed and flawed way to think – glorious sacrifice, ‘Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die’.
Pandemic policy has stolen our bodily autonomy, our right of medical choice. It has overruled nature’s design of immunity and health. It has debased truth, substituting government pronouncement. It has seized control of children from families. It has inserted propaganda into education. It has rendered employees subservient. It has cancelled dialogue.
In short, it has taken the world in which we thought we lived and turned it upside down. It is no good thinking this is a battle between right and left. That too is a story to keep everyone distracted from the real issues. It is a question of what kind of fundamental individual rights can we retain? Rights that we previously took for granted.
By framing the world as vaccinated vs unvaccinated, political power backed by pharmaceutical money has redrawn ideological boundaries along the lines of novel biotechnologies. This is a giant act of deception.
When I was growing up, we gave thanks for the harvest. The modern age has joined in the cult of biotechnology which seems to offer supremacy over nature, but it hasn’t worked. To succeed, to know, to enjoy, you have to work with nature.
I have just finished reading The History of the World in 100 Plants by Simon Barnes. Barnes concludes that we are descended from the biodiversity and bioabundance of plants: ‘Look at this planet and its uncountable plants. We owe them everything.’ We depend entirely on the natural world around us, yet biotechnology is seeking to overthrow this mutual interdependency and substitute an ephemeral figment of man’s imagination and pride – an impossible dream and a hideous nightmare that puts our continued existence at risk.
Voting for today’s crop of politicians is a forlorn hope. It is a blank cheque for continued biotechnology experimentation on ourselves. This is not a time to give up our rights, and hand them to the same politicians who have already laughed at medical choice and mocked those suffering serious adverse events. They don’t deserve our vote. Under their leadership it could all begin again.

British weapons and personnel doing much of the killing in Yemen
Press TV – June 18, 2019
A detailed report published by the Guardian newspaper has shown how Britain is massively contributing to Saudi Arabia’s devastating war on Yemen as it suggests that London is not only supplying the bombs that fall on Yemenis, but it provides the personnel and expertise that keep the war going.
The comprehensive report by Arron Merat published on Tuesday showed that Britain was doing much of the killing in Yemen as the country continues to provide Saudi Arabia with everything it needs to turn its southern impoverished neighbor into a graveyard.
“Every day Yemen is hit by British bombs – dropped by British planes that are flown by British-trained pilots and maintained and prepared inside Saudi Arabia by thousands of British contractors,” said Merat in the report. … continue
