  • Psychedelics Will Help America’s Mental Health Crisis — If the FDA Lets Them

    “The FDA granted ecstasy breakthrough therapy status in 2017, expediting its process to becoming an approved treatment. Generating an approval process for other drugs like these is the next logical and necessary step.” ~Raymond Marc

  • Here Is How the FDA Made the RSV Wave More Dangerous

    “As a result of the FDA’s warning letter, the latest version of the Smart Sock no longer monitors an infant’s heart or lungs. The FDA drove parents’ best option to carefully monitor their baby’s vital organ function off the market.” ~ Raymond J. March

  • Mental Health Is In Crisis. What Is the Answer?

    “The first step toward fixing it is not letting it get worse. Given the US government’s track record of harming perhaps those who need our help the most, I think it would be foolish to trust them now.” ~ Raymond J. March

  • Three More Months of the Ratchet Effect?

    “The Biden Administration granted itself three more months to prolong and extend the ratchet effect to secure more power and less freedom. Tragically, the longer government extends the crisis, the less likely they are to relinquish control.” ~ Raymond J. March

  • Don’t Let the FDA Tell You What’s Healthy

  • Review: Scott Atlas’s A Plague Upon Our House

    “Dr. Atlas’ analysis of the US’s COVID-19 response is masterful. This book offers great explanations and evidence to clarify COVID-related misunderstandings and falsehoods. His accounts of working in DC are shocking and enlightening for readers skeptical about federal suggestions on combating the pandemic.” ~ Raymond J. March

  • Monkeypox and Leviathan?

    “As far as public health crises are concerned, monkeypox is not in the same league as Covid-19. They are entirely different. But they share a disturbing similarity- their potential to expand and help retain government power. And this seems unpreventable.” ~ Raymond J. March

  • Are EUAs Deregulation or Regulatory Capture?

    “As the pandemic ends, there are plenty of frustrating examples of what went wrong. Let’s hope deregulation is remembered as an example of what went right.” ~ Raymond J. March

  • Did We Need Operation Warp Speed?

    “OWS’s efforts to develop Covid-19 vaccines are often considered the crowning achievement of what went right. Unfortunately, I fear its benefits are exaggerated, and its costs are just beginning.” ~ Raymond J. March
