Here is something to think about. On October 5, 2022, the CPSO (College of Physicians and Surgeons Ontario) updated their website page Covid-19 FAQS for Physicians in regards to providing Covid care to patients, specifically in the area of vaccination hesitancy and alternative treatment. The following are two paragraphs (questions and answers) copied from their guideline: (See cpso.on.ca for full report)

Patients are asking me to write notes supporting a medical exemption from COVID-19 vaccines — what do I need to know?

It is also important that physicians work with their patients to manage anxieties related to the vaccine and not enable avoidance behaviour. For example, for extreme fear of needles (trypanophobia) or other cases of serious concern, responsible use of prescription medications and/ or referral to psychotherapy may be available options. Overall, physicians have a responsibility to allow their patients to be properly informed about vaccines and not have those anxieties empowered by an exemption.

I’ve read about some drugs that might prove beneficial in treating COVID-19: Should I be prescribing these drugs as a precautionary measure? Can I prescribe them for myself or family?

No. Many of these drugs have an intended use and prescribing them as a precautionary measure has or may contribute to drug shortages, compromising care for others. Should these or other drugs prove useful in combating COVID-19, their use will need to be carefully managed to support those who need them the most.

So, in examining these two answers, it is important to read critically. We must pay attention to key words and phrases woven into the guidelines such as, “anxieties” “not enable avoidance behavior” “not have those anxieties empowered” “serious concern” “contribute to drug shortages” “compromising care for others”.

Let’s see if we can dissect them a little.

It appears that medical exemptions for Covid vaccines may no longer be an option in the near future. According to this guideline, resisting being vaccinated is deemed to be a behaviour rather than an informed choice. This socalled behaviour now allows doctors to prescribe medication to their resistive patients, providing a more comfortable means to sway them to the guide’s suggested ‘yes’ behavior. Further, if the prescribed medication does not result in the required outcome of a ‘yes’ behaviour, doctors can then refer their patients to a psycho-therapist for the ultimate persuasion.

At this point, although not specifically mentioned in the guide, perhaps a straitjacket will be required to transport patients toward this final step of their behavioural modification. (I apologize for my honesty.) How will they distinguish “serious concern” from unwilling patients in the near future? Can you read between the lines yet? The meticulous and careful wording of legal documents often allows for an unseen, underlying power in favour of the rule makers. Be alert!

Even though most folk are aware of the scientific data and research on alternative medicines that work to ease the effects of Covid, the CPSO is still saying no to administering anything but the vaccine. It is hard to believe this when scientific evidence proves the benefits of both Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine through the voice of many doctors who have prescribed such. It is also hard to believe that the use of alternative medicine will create shortages. Really? There is certainly no shortage of a worldwide profit-making vaccine made for billions of non-suspecting people who may not even be ill.

Also, according to the CPSO website:

“The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario regulates the practice of medicine in Ontario. Physicians are required to be members to practice medicine in Ontario. The role of CPSO and its authority and powers are set out in the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA), the Health Professions Procedural Code under the RHPA and the Medicine Act.”

A search through the RHPA website does not reveal who the Board Members actually are. (If you are reading this and you know, then please inform the public.) These people are making rules and regulations for the college. The college is following orders and we, the citizens, are expected to obey the rules.

As citizens, we must pay attention to rules and regulations that can override the choices we make for our own bodies, especially during these precarious times. Individual sovereignty can be ‘ever so subtlety’ removed from us. When this happens we may find ourselves asking the question “What have we become?” far too late.

Let us vow to educate each other with ‘all’ of the scientific facts and offer healthy alternative solutions to each other wherever and whenever possible. Alternative health care is no different than alternative news. Both do their job! Again, a subtle but powerful use of the word ‘alternative.’ It seems humanity has been led to believe that this word is not necessarily true or helpful. What do you think?
