This article has been revised and updated here: Early in my medical practice, I elected to work with individuals seeking disability because there was a shortage of doctors in my area willing to do these exams (they do not pay well and we had a physician shortage to begin with). My personal reason for involvement was that due to this shortage, many individuals who desperately needed disability were facing significant delays moving through the process, which often rippled out into causing significant problems in their lives and those around them.
Agree heavily with the first part of this article. As someone with CFS/ME I spent a number years arguing with myself over the need to get a disability allowance and the shame and embarrassment of it all. Which resulted in me most probably worsening my condition with the anxiety and extra activity which resulted. Along with damaging my finances and prior savings which could potentially have been spared if it was addressed earlier.
And secondly, if those with an iatrogenic injury were to claim it was something else. Eg spontaneos onset of lupus, CFS/M.E or FND etcetera and get disability on those grounds, would that help tie them over financially? At least somewhat.
Or could this just muddy the statistics making the vaccine mandates seem less damaging than they really are?

This is absolutely right. In addition, vaccinations disrupted immune systems of many people, and thus when they have Covid, or several, the infection results in a disability. The authorities simply blame Covid, but the disability would not have happened, had not the person been vaccinated prior.
This results in a complicated situation that authorities want to keep complicated and unresearched.
Thank you for clarifying what you are seeing in your practice.
I haven't been able to work in months. It's like all of the sudden I was faced with a progressive form of physical sickness, brain fog, supreme fatigue and the list goes on and on. I'm a black girl. Why do I always get dismissed when I only go to the Dr. as infrequently as possible, because they're just hateful?
I don't think it's a race thing. I think it's something else. Like the audacity of a peasant like me to ask for an encephalogram to check for swelling of my vagus nerve, because of my symptoms got so severe so quickly, and they were ADHD adjacent.
Instead my doctor laughed at me, and repeated with a snide tone, "You want me to put you up in a big machine and scan your brain to see if you have swelling in your neck? Because you're tired?"
I had another doctor snap at me and tell me basically I was stupid because I was expecting the medication to work.
It's gotten pretty bad and some parts of this country. I do believe I am pretty sick. I'm starting to show more and more symptoms of a more serious issue, and still, I have no diagnosis except for ADHD, persistent depressive disorder and complex post-traumatic disorder. Isn't it funny that just because I've had a weird bizarre life, it now negates me from ever being able to get adequate medical care due to implicit bias. It's so sad.
I cry everytime I go. They make me feel like I don't know what I'm talking about. But I do.
Thank you so much for this carefully written piece. It feels like I've been waiting for this for months while holding my breath. Exhaling now.....
I keep a list of these "product's" estimated trial date completions by the phone to explain to anyone interested, "Yes, these are trials. YOU ARE PART OF A DRUG TRIAL".
Very few are interested. How can you talk to friends and family about the hell you're watching happening in real time when you're worried they may be ticking time bombs? I listen and am mute.
By May 2021 I'd heard from friends (all vaccinated) about new diagnoses in themselves and their families of skin cancers, breast cancers, prostate cancers, sudden vision failure, muscle weakness, heart arrhythmia, strokes, and completely debilitating week long headaches and two deaths. By late summer last year there were arms still not working right after 9 months, reoccurring blood clots around hearts, lungs and in legs and three cases of what seems to be demyelinating disease causing severe loss of mobility. Immediately after the second or third shots, several got covid and nearly died yet praised the vaccine for saving their lives. Every single one was so pleased to have been inoculated and not a one seemed to consider any connection. And not a one had any of these problems previously. Last month two from the group above died, one from very sudden aggressive breast cancer, and the other from a heart attack.
But one of the saddest stories is that of a young Tunisian woman in her twenties, a friend of my son, being forcibly rounded up with about a hundred other people from a suburb of Sousse, cellphones confiscated, held in a facility for several days, and inoculated with Pfizer. Another young woman next to my son's friend was dead on the second morning. I don't know if informed consent happened in this anecdotal Tunisian arm of Pfizer's clinical trial but our young friend was completely traumatized by the time she got hold of my son.
The last part of the second graph, the steady state from Feb (? - hard to discern exact beginning) through April, is interesting. Wondering what trend the May data and upcoming months will take. Every day I just don't know what to say anymore...everything appears so obvious.
20+ years as an Autism Dad, and this was on target all ways. Thanks MidWest Doc.
My Dad was a Navy Doctor, ran hospitals in Philly (when Doctors ran hospitals), brought the Polio Vaxx to Philly as an Infectious Disease Doc. It took me probably 10 years to accept that the DPT Vaxx was my son with Autism's trigger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DPT_vaccine Then it was 10 years being labeled as an "anti-vaxxer", when I am in truth a Jesuit and Ivy League educated "critical thinker".
My hopes are: 1) Doctors like yourself break away from #CorporateMedicine 2) We, as a Society, start to have REAL conversations about lifestyle (food, water, exercise...) and stop pretending that some shot(s) is going to fix us.
You are a brave soul. "Thank you" seems ineloquent, but thank you!! Ever so grateful for your insights, knowledge, and fine prose. (Yours is my absolute favorite substack, by the way!)
The doctor I was sent to to check and see if I was disabled upset me badly. I thought, before I went in, "Oh good! They'll check and see what is actually going on, and tell the court so I can get some help!" Wrong. He did various tests, I'd say things like "not that one, but if you check THIS area with that test, it'll show up" He said "No." After a couple of exchanges like that I said something about my actual symptoms again and he interrupted me "Look lady, I don't CARE what's wrong with you! I am here to fill out this form, that's IT!"
So, yeah, his form said I was fine, I was turned down for any help, it was several years before I got disability and it cost me a large percentage of my back pay to a lawyer to get it. And with all that mess, and years I that I starved, I was very grateful, and still am) for the 600.00 a month I get after they take out Medicare. That's all I live on, but it was better than what I WAS living on. I had run my savings out, and sold off everything I could. And was too sick to manage to walk the 25 feet to my mailbox for months on end. But hey, I'm fine.
The autoimmune diseases are really bad for that, add iatrogenic damage and it's just flat hell. Even better when part of the iatrogenic damage was reaction to a antibiotic which caused "severe persistent hallucinations" which devastated me and got me on psychiatric meds, which added to the autoimmune problems. (And when, years later, I wanted to try getting off all the meds, I was fired as a patient by all my doctors for non-compliance, and weaned myself off them slowly, with no medical assistance by the people who had prescribed them so casually. I had complied for over 10 years, and only gotten worse, I thought it was a reasonable request, silly me.)
I spent a lot of time on the fibromyalgia boards on the net, I don't have the right symptoms, but it's a good trash can diagnosis to shut me up (she's crazy you know, that's why the psychiatric meds! No, turned out to be your antibiotic.) One of the things I heard people say a lot there that just broke my heart every time was "I wish I had cancer, then maybe someone would listen, would care, and would help me." And we couldn't even get disability to buy groceries... The article talks of people who have been failed by the system, and as one of the people who was badly failed by the system, I REALLY wish I knew how to fix it, but I don't have the energy, even now, to attempt to do so, but hey, I'm fine. They told me so. Many times.
I have been watching the effects of the jab, and I sorrow for the people who take damage, all I can think of is "more of us in this category, and it was a horrifying category to start with." I hurt for them, because I know that if they end up like my life, they have a lot of hell to go through, and the system will not be helpful to them.
i just got done watching Edward Dowd interview on New American (might be one word) where they in the brief discuss exactly this, as well as elevated death, etc., . Interview was with a lovely Russian girl. Russia is great. i love Russia. Glad i was born there, and if they stop mandating hacksxxxxines, maybe i can return. a bit off topic, i know. just saying.
thanks.
you can't possibly be the first, i'll find the link for you... Ed Dowd beat you to it
Thank you for this update MD. You unwittingly reveal a huge financial racket: the pharmaceutical companies are inflicting this damage and profiting while they do it. But the taxpayer is paying for disability payouts. Appalling. It’s one more way to bankrupt the US.
Midwest Doc, Article by Patrick Wood 6.7.2022: For a minute, forget case numbers, hospital beds and epidemiological studies. The Expose provides a back-door look at what’s going on by analyzing ambulance call-outs, all of which are nicely recorded and detailed:
The Spectator recently published stats that show a huge spike in disability payments made in Britain starting last year. Same data but the article did not connect the dots. I fear that this is the beginning of a long, tortuous road towards admitting that the so called vaccines are killers. It will take years before the medical and pharmaceutical establishment will begin to admit this. It's a crime.
I really appreciate your transparency and showing your work. That's a major heuristic I use to decide who to listen to - transparency. Making and admitting mistakes increases, rather than decreases, credibility, while a lack of transparency completely eviscerates credibility.
The establishment media and health agencies fail miserably in this respect! Just the way that they talk and present information - "I am the authority, this is the truth, anyone who challenges me is spreading misinformation, you're not an expert so you just have to take my word for it, the raw data would only confuse your feeble mind" - without presenting contrary information or equivocation or showing their work, makes me dismiss everything they have to say. I don't understand how anyone takes the Dr. Faucis, the mini-me Faucis, and the mainstream "science journalists" seriously anymore. Thanks for what you're doing.
