Matt Bettag, MD, has been a physician for 24 years and a practicing ears, nose and throat specialist (ENT) for 19 years. Matt recently decided that he had seen enough insanity in the medical establishment in this country connected with the response to the COVID virus. Matt decided that speaking the truth is more important regardless of the consequences. As Matt said,
“If the woke culture wants to ruin me for speaking the truth, I guess I might as well just get it over with now.”
Matt is not the first doctor to speak up and, based on the changing conditions with COVID, I suspect he will not be the last.
I will be quoting liberally from his blog post.
Matt starts out by noting:
From the beginning, 15 days to flatten the curve, I was shocked. We had never done this before, but perhaps this virus was really bad, so I gave the government the benefit of the doubt.
I think most Americans reacted ss Matt did. Quarantining the healthy had never been done in this country. Quarantines were always applied to the ill and perhaps to those in close contact. Therefore, the government must know some things that we don’t know. We gave the government the benefit of the doubt.
And this is one thing that I think most Americans would agree to. When the chips are down, when America is in dire straits, Americans will pull together to overcome the problem. This has happened many times in our history.
Matt goes on:
Then came Fauci. He initially said social distancing didn’t work, and masks were largely ineffective. But by late March, he pronounced both masking and social distancing necessary. Weird…red flag.
Red flag? That would be an understatement. Fauci had more different positions on COVID than Kama Sutra has for sex. Fauci absolutely downplayed the use of effective treatments and pronounced vaccines as the only solution to the pandemic. People were told that no treatment protocols exist. Millions of people were sent home with no treatment regimen except to go to the hospital if things got bad. This is insanity.
Bettag went on:
I started researching the utility of masks. There were very good articles I found — one out of a respiratory center in Chicago, and another a good dental review. I bookmarked both of them. Less than a month later, the dental website was down, replaced by a text saying basically that their information is now irrelevant because of COVID. The Chicago article also had a disclaimer that previously wasn’t there saying people shouldn’t use their article politically. What? Don’t use a scientifically-derived article to make a scientifically based decision on the utility of masks? What the hell is going on?
Masks do not stop the spread of the virus. This has been shown in study after study. The CDC recently admitted as much when they advised against using masks to filter out the smoke particles blanketing the country. The smoke particles are magnitudes larger than the viral particles. Yet we are now hearing that masks are going to be required again. This did not work the first time. Why would it work now?
Matt noted:
Next comes PCR. Let’s conveniently jack up the cycles to 40+, resulting in a 90–97% false-positive rate…
This may be the biggest scam in the whole arsenal of scams during the COVID scam. This allowed the networks to run the case numbers on the bottom of the screen every night and scare the living bejeezus out of the public. No one will ever know just how many cases of COVID really were there. The flu magically disappeared. Why? More money for a COVID diagnosis, ICU admission, use of oxygen, etc.
On the issue of drug therapy:
HCQ, not safe. Has been used for decades worldwide with a great safety profile, but not anymore, because orange man bad. Mention it, and you are a lunatic. The same went for any other proven therapeutic, such as ivermectin and vitamin D.
Only being called a lunatic was mild in many cases. Doctors were threatened with the loss of their license to practice medicine if they supported any effective drug therapy. How many hundreds of thousands of people in this country died because knowledge and use of effective treatments was suppressed? Why was this done?
Then there is Matt’s take on VAERS. That’s the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System:
What about VAERS? That’s the open record report system that the CDC has made almost unnavigable. It’s slowly crept up and showed up to 12,000 deaths coincident with the vaccine. Then dropped to 6,000, only to come back up to 10,000 and now back to 12,000. Just a little glitch from our trustworthy government. There are reports that the numbers could be ten times or more as high, and perhaps the CDC is misclassifying deaths to hide them. But let’s trust the government; they’ve been so good thus far.
Let’s suppose for a moment that the numbers in VAERS are gospel (they aren’t, they should be much higher). Based on half the population being vaccinated, that would mean that 1 out of every 13,000 people DIED after being jabbed. That’s a ridiculous number for something that is supposed to protect us. Since the VAERS number is undoubtedly quite low, that means the frequency of DEATH from a jab is higher. How is this justified for an illness that has a very low mortality rate?
That also ignores the other serious side effects that have been documented. What about substantial data on miscarriages during the first trimester? How about heart inflammation in 18-30 year-olds? How about the presence of the spike protein in the body after 5 or 6 months? Vaccines normally disappear from the body within two weeks. What about the 300,000 adverse events that one of the drug manufacturers may not have submitted to VAERS yet?
Matt completes his monologue:
I have never lived in a world like this, where open medical dialogue is completely suppressed and there is only one party line. I thought the left was always talking about how we shouldn’t bully people, and we need to have “dialogue.” Well…let’s start. The media and the government need to do their job and start opening dialogue to the other side. If we are crazy, it will come out. If we are right, and the data show that to be the fact, then a large apology is warranted.
Thanks Matt for standing up for all Americans.
