New CDC Director, Mandy Cohen and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy have a very similar career trajectory. Both graduated from Yale School of Medicine in 2003-2005, both also having attended Harvard just prior and both then going into their residencies, which last from 3-7 years. Both focused on public health policy while they were in medical school, and while they were in their residencies. And both started Doctors for Obama in 2008. And never looked back at the actual practice of medicine, went straight to policy. Which means that the top medical leadership has virtually zero experience as doctors who completed residency; they always worked under the supervision of others, never had full responsibility for their practices. They are barely doctors, apologies to recent medical practitioners with at the same place in their careers as these two were before they went into policy, but *nothing* beats experience. Nothing. Completed the checklist, but no real experience now telling doctors with twenty-forty years of experience practicing medicine how to practice medicine. Which is how one-size-fits-all medicine to treat the common cold and flu, taking away medical licenses for practicing the art of medicine, silencing dissent in the medical field happens. They don't know jack sh!t, but you better not question them, they're running the show now and you will obey. They went into the field of medicine not to heal, but to tell medical practitioners how to practice they way *they* tell them.

Mandy Krauthamer Cohen's Medical education and experience:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandy_Cohen

She earned a medical degree from the Yale School of Medicine ('05), and a graduate degree in public health from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health ('04). She trained in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. In 2004, while a medical school student, she took up a position with the American College of Physicians on their National Council of Student Members. While in her residency, she served on Massachusetts General Hospital's committees for primary care, quality assurance, and recruitment. She later served as Co-Director for the Health Policy Elective at Massachusetts General Hospital, and was a northeast representative for the American College of Physicians' National Council of Associates.

Vivek Murthy's Medical education and experience:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivek_Murthy

He then attended college at Harvard University and graduated magna cum laude in 1997 with a bachelor of arts in biochemical sciences. In 2003, Murthy earned an MD from Yale School of Medicine and an MBA from Yale School of Management, where he received The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans. Murthy completed his internal medicine residency at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

Both Krauthamer Cohen and Murthy were behind the "White Coat" Obamacare PR stunt. Many non-medical doctors - like Dr. Jill - as well as progressive political activist MD's handed out white coats as props for the camera. It's all deception for these people. Lies and deceit. Fake. Politics of disease. Not actual healing.

"A sea of 150 white-coated doctors, all enthusiastically supportive of the president and representing all 50 states, looked as if they were at a costume party as they posed in the Rose Garden before hearing Obama’s pitch for the Democratic overhaul bills moving through Congress.

The physicians, all invited guests, were told to bring their white lab coats to make sure that TV cameras captured the image.

But some docs apparently forgot, failing to meet the White House dress code by showing up in business suits or dresses.

So the White House rustled up white coats for them and handed them to the suited physicians who had taken seats in the sun-splashed lawn area.

All this to provide a visual counter to complaints from other doctors that pending legislation is bad news for the medical profession."

"But the doctors in the Rose Garden were all supporters of health care reform — and the invitation-only guest list drew heavily from Doctors for America, a grassroots organization that backs a government-run insurance option."

"Lights, camera, agitprop! The curtains opened on yet another artfully-staged performance of Obamacare Theater this week. One hundred and fifty doctors took their places on the plush lawn outside the West Wing – many acting like Twilight groupies with cameras instead of credible medical professionals. The president approved the scenery: “I am thrilled to have all of you here today, and you look very spiffy in your coats.”

White House wardrobe assistants guaranteed the “spiffy.” As the New York Post’s Charles Hurt reported, the physicians “were told to bring their white lab coats to make sure that TV cameras captured the image.” President Obama’s aides hastily handed out costumes to those who came in suits or dresses before the doc-and-pony show began.

But while Halloween came early to the Potomac, these partisan single-payer activists in White House-supplied clothing aren’t fooling anyone.

Obama’s spin doctors belong to a group called “Doctors for America” (DFA), which reportedly supplied the white lab coats. The White House event was organized in conjunction with DFA and Organizing for America, Obama’s campaign outfit. OFA and DFA are behind a massive new Obamacare ad campaign, letter-writing campaign, and doctor recruitment campaign. The supposedly “grass-roots,” non-profit DFA is a spin-off of Doctors for Obama, a 2008 campaign arm that aggressively pushed the Democrats’ government health care takeover. DFA claims to have thousands of members with a “variety of backgrounds.” But there’s little diversity in their views on socialized medicine (98 percent want a taxpayer-funded public insurance option) – or in their political contributions.

DFA president and co-founder Dr. Vivek Murthy, an internal medicine physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and an Instructor at Harvard Medical School, served as a member of the Obama Health Policy Advisory Committee and the Obama New England Steering Committee during the 2008 presidential campaign."

My body already has the ‘tools’ it needs to be healthy! I was born with them 72 years ago and have kept them in good working order by ignoring these ‘medical experts’ for the past 50 years. Once I was free from my parents’ uninformed decisions and found the alternative to allopathic medicine I got well and have stayed that way. Never thought I’d have to fight the government to keep my good health, but here we are. Glad to find like-minded people here and appreciate how hard Peter works to keep us informed.
