What is "fiat science"? It's what you get when the state creates a lot of money out of thin air, then hands out bunches of it to scientific establishments, where decisions are made not on the basis of market forces, but on the basis of political ones.

I speak with genetics expert and founder and CSO of Medicinal Genomics, Kevin McKernan, about why fiat science is a problem, the utter failure of the regulatory state, what needs to change – and what is starting to change.

If you're still saying "peer-reviewed" like it's a good thing, you might want to take a listen.

Our previous conversations about the problems with medical research and peer review in particular, are here and here.

“Unfettered capitalism” creates a “dog-eat-dog” world in which the strong profit at the expense of the weak, everyone only looks out for their own interests, and society becomes selfish, atomized, and less human, with its members caring only about making money, not about each other.

So goes the standard mainstream view of a free society, and free markets. If you went to a government school, you heard some version of this.

Economist Guido Hulsmann has a new book out that tears this caricature to shreds. In Abundance, Generosity, and the State: An Inquiry into Economic Principles, Dr. Hulsmann systematically demonstrates the ways in which people naturally tend to help each other and to produce goods and services that do not directly benefit them in any material way.

He then shows us how government intervention works to stifle and even squash much of this activity – from government control in money and banking encouraging irresponsible financial behavior and discouraging voluntary donations (if you take nothing else from this interview, be sure to take note of the “saturation mechanism” and what happens to it in an interventionist system), to the tragic outcomes of the welfare state.

Dr. Hulsmann turns the standard caricature on its head, and shows us in painstaking detail, how it is not freedom, but coercive interventions in the lives of free people that work to create a society of self-centered and atomized individuals.

Dr Hülsmann is a professor of economics at the University of Angers in France. He is also a Senior Fellow of the Mises Institute and a corresponding member of the Pontifical Academy for Life.

Rebecca Charles' daughter Danielle had a slight cough, fever and pulse-ox reading of 88 when she walked into the hospital on August 27th, 2021. Hospital staff then spent 40 days administering hospital protocols that Rebecca says resulted in her death, at 28 years of age.

Danielle had special needs, and had had someone with her at all times during her life. In the hospital, she was isolated, forcibly restrained, deprived of food, and prohibited from seeing her mother.

Rebecca has filed a malpractice and negligence suit against the hospital staff, in Nassau Supreme Court, NY, and we discuss that in this episode. (She was unable to file a wrongful death suit because the deadline for doing so had expired.) You can read her summons and complaint, here.

You can support Rebecca's legal battle here.

We also talk about Rebecca's bigger mission: To hold accountable all medical practitioners who were - and are - complicit in the wrongful deaths of countless victims of Covid-19 protocols. Protocols for which hospitals receive generous financial payouts from the federal government.

Rebecca has created a website, deathbyhospitalprotocol.com, where others can post accounts of what was done to their loved ones by hospitals, and to publicly name and shame the doctors and nurses who they believe were complicit in their deaths.

She has also created an app, where "users can share their stories, advocate for change, and demand accountability for the treatment of their loved ones." You can find that app here, and on the App Store (search "DPHP" or "death by hospital protocol.")

Danielle's tragedy is not an isolated one. It is horrifying, and perhaps hard to believe, that individuals working in hospitals are quite literally killing patients for money. And yet that is what many many accounts from the past few years are telling us. In Danielle's case at least, the medical records back this up.

It is unfortunate that we need to create our own tools and solutions to protect ourselves from these people, but we do. Rebecca's website and app can be very powerful tools in this effort, and I urge everyone to check them out and to help spread the word.
