"Rip off with lies"? If you want to expose who is lying for profit, maybe the first places to look would be Pfizer, Gilead, the FDA, CDC, NIH, and Fauci, not physicians courageously helping patients access inexpensive early treatment and unbiased information about COVID shots.

Dr. Ganesh is in prison after speaking out to expose schemes that big insurance companies use to deny care. Medicare found no issue with her billing but the DOJ prosecuted her anyway and she was convicted for possible mistakes on 5 claims using questionable evidence. /1

The DOJ never produced the actual claim forms they allege Dr. Ganesh filed but instead introduced spreadsheets created by the insurance companies that included claims unrelated to her patients. /2

There's a lot of confusion around what the FDA's "Emergency Use Authorization" for HCQ actually did and what rescinding it means. The EUA was never meant to expand the use of HCQ and it only applied to the supply donated to the National Strategic Stockpile (NSS). (thread) In fact, the EUA was put in place to improperly restrict use of the donated drugs to only hospitalized patients. The now infamous "whistle-blower" Rick Bright, PhD, admits that he pushed for the EUA to impede use (not expand it).

Dear @olgakhazan, You write: "the AAPS doesn’t seem to offer a solution for the fact that these days, a single 'How can we help you?' from a doctor can result in a five-figure bill."

We advocate for *many* solutions — solutions that are already successfully driving down the cost of high-quality medical care in the real world. 2/12
