During the pandemic I saw a more current photo of him than the one you posted above, which appears to have been taken about 20 years ago. He looks rail-thin and anemic. I noticed that he had also greatly reduced his participation in Wikipedia and I didn't think it was a coincidence.ericbarbour wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 3:54 amJust curious, where did you see this?which I believe is applicable to people like MastCell/Gorski, which I think is no coincidence who is in bad health even though he's only in his 60s. He made the mistake of using his own product.

The medical industry, because of its nature, is rife with opportunists. Another big one is patent jumping. There are people who make a living, sometimes a very good one, just by imagining all the different medical devices or technologies that might be invented in the future, and getting a pre-emptive patent for them. I believe one of those people was heavily involved in the Elizabeth Holmes' drama.
One thing I learned as an investor in pharma companies, is that hospital companies often do not make decisions on their drug suppliers solely because they think it's the best drug. Although hospitals usually organize as not-for-profit corporations, they do pay a lot of attention to their revenue stream. Pharmaceutical companies give them financial incentives to use their drugs which means the hospital may not be enthusiastic about trying a drug from another source, even it has some benefits. One example that I know of is a company called Baudax Bio. They have an approved, intravenous pain killer called Anjeso, which works on mild to moderate pain. It's main quality is that it is non-narcotic/opioid and therefore non-addictive, like ibuprofen. They can't get any hospitals to buy it. None are apparently interested. If you go to a hospital for in-patient care, the drug(s) they're giving you are not necessarily the best ones for the situation, but more based on who they have chosen as their supplier or who (private or government) has given them the best incentives to use.
Anyway, I believe the COVID-19 pandemic will ultimately be harmful to Big Pharma and some of the related industries. The damage that was caused to people by the shut downs, school closures, forced mask wearing, and perhaps the mRNA technology could likely cause a backlash against that industry. I've heard through the grapevine that the rate of flu and tetanus vaccinations are way, way down in certain parts of the US because people are so mad about being pressured to get the COVID-19 jabs that they've sworn off getting any vaccinations at all.
If the US Supreme Court weakens Section 230 in the near future, and it coincides with some big lawsuits against Phizer and the rest (and yes, I know the drug companies are technically immune to lawsuits over their products), we could see some subpoenas being delivered to the Wikimedia Foundation asking for the personal information on many of the WP editors denigrating natural medicine and Ivermectin and promoting the medicine that the current establishment supports. We'll see.
