I know it, but don't despair. There are many doctors who not only know what's going on, but have in fact been speaking out ferociously since the beginning. It's hard to see them, however, even for those of us here on the medical freedom substacks, because they have been so heavily censored and shadow-banned. For example, I just found this video the other day-- maybe it will raise your spirits, as it did mine:
TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: Prior to covid, as the author of several best-selling books on women's health, Dr. Christiane Northrup was an international celebrity, frequently featured in mainstream television, newspapers and magazines. She is a cofounder of Maine Stands Up https://www.mainestandsup.org/ and organization of citizens of the state of Maine dedicated to protecting and restoring civil liberties.
DR. CHRISTIANE NORTHRUP [emerges from crowd, walks over towards the bridge, takes microphone]: Thank you all for being here. It's so— you know what it does, when we see all of this, the immune system is literally lifted up. Community equals immunity.
FEMALE VOICE: Ow!
DR. CHRISTIANE NORTHRUP: And when you realize that you're not the only one who believes that you should have the right to determine what gets injected into your body.
[Cheers]
DR. CHRISTIANE NORTHRUP: That's what we're primarily about here. And my fall to grace, fall into grace, began with testifying for LD 798 in the statehouse, March 2020.* And that's really all I did. I just got up and gave peer-reviewed literature on why we didn't need this bill. We're now facing September, that's when the vaccine mandate bill goes into effect in Maine, so a lot of people are scrambling. And Maine had a 95% voluntary vaccination rate. We didn't need this bill.
And as soon as I testified, I was on the cover of Maine Women's Magazine, and it was a fluffy article, it was the fluffiest thing I'd ever done, it was like, yeah, do you want to get married again, I mean, this sweet little [inaudible]. Next thing you know, I'm canceled big time! I'm suddenly a racist, a white supremacist, a Q-anon conspirator, whatever that is, and then here we are. Because I'm willing to bet that a lot of you who just asked a few questions, just asked a few questions, have had the same experience. I am now probably on my way to becoming a domestic terrorist after—
AUDIENCE: [laughter]
DR: CHRISTIANE NORTHRUP: — 40 years of practicing medicine in Maine and being quite well-respected. Thank you all, thank you for those of you who've come up to me and said, I've followed you for 30 years. I've had an equal number say, I've followed you for 30 years, what happened to you? Nothing! You're not keeping up! Nothing happened to me! You're just not thinking clearly!
So thank you for coming and being part of simply a movement of personal sovereignty, personal decision-making. I mean, as a surgeon, I always gave what's called informed consent. That seems to be something we don't have anymore. This is just basic. This is just basic.
We have an amazing attorney, Ron Jenkins,** who is like Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird —
FEMALE VOICE: Yeah!
DR. CHRISTIANE NORTHRUP: — and he would be here tonight except that he's filing a TRO, temporary restraining order, tomorrow, the revision of it, in Alabama. And they chose Alabama because it looked like they had a judge there who would treat this issue fairly. My daughter Annie over here is working on the legal proofreading of that motion.
So you know how, there's an old political slogan, as Maine goes, so goes the nation? Well I like to say, as Maine goes, so goes the planet. And what we're doing here, our lawyer is writing all the stuff that lawyers all over the United States are using in all the various states, just for basic, fundamental freedom. That's how good he is. He's almost like Thomas Jefferson reincarnated.
FEMALE VOICE: Yeah!
DR. CHRISTIANE NORTHRUP: And he's also very in tune with Longfellow.*** And his summer home was built by Longfellow's daughter. It's an amazing story. And when he last spoke to our group we were in a gym up in Augusta and he said, I could tell you about the case, but right now I'd like to talk about God. It was amazing, amazing.
So you're part of a wonderful group of warriors. I think that we are, as Emily said so beautifully in the last newsletter, we are like the same people of 1776 come back again. The same sort of rabble-rousing group that's just not going to take it. But we're doing it in a wonderful, spiritual, fun way, with a playlist by Mark.
[laughter]
DR. CHRISTIANE NORTHRUP: Who's fabulous at that. So at this point I'd like to invite my daughter Anne to sing for us.
[applause]
Then we'll get back to dancing. Alright.
ANNE [takes the microphone]: OK I might have to restart if I have the wrong key, but.
[singing]: O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed by the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming
VOICE: [inaudible]
ANNE [singing]: And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
[AUDIENCE joins signing]
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On her Substack blog, April 3, 2023 Dr. Northrup posted her testimony before the state legislature in support of reinstating religious and philosophical exemptions to vaccine mandates. See:

Most of the doctors I know are burned out because they know exactly what's going on.
