Lawrence, you're so spot on. We're very close to advocating similar things. On my substack, my top piece advocates:
1. Make it illegal for pharmaceutical companies to advertise or sponsor or gift to any medical institution, health insurance company, individual scientists (not hired by same) or any medical journal, social media network, TV, magazine, newspaper (paper or electronic). If this requires a new constitutional amendment, I'm sure an enraged public will get it passed. In the interim, have the FDA restore it's pre-1977 rule on pharmaceutical company presence in advertisement media prior to 1997 (see https://drmichaelwayne.com/blog/drug-ads-on-tv-a-brief-history/ ).
2. Abolish the FDA, NIH (Fauci's department is part of NIH), and CDC, allow the 50 states (and DC plus US Territories) to decide how they want to do similar functions, whether as an individual state or as a member of a group of states, the obvious reaction will be that there will be a dominant blue-state approach, a dominant red-state approach, and a dominant mix-match approach. I would agree to a minimal federal law requirement. Nobody can sell a drug or medical device that is not insured for liability protection (remove vaccine liability protection first). Liability insurance company underwriting testing labs would end up being setup to evaluate the risk of a new drug seeking liability protection then. Better to have competing safety certifying labs, so customers over time learn which testing labs do a better job. The counterpoint that many vaccines would not be produced is that (a) only bad vaccines would be stopped (good), (b) mandatory vaccine mandates would not be workable (of course, since one has abolished the FDA, NIH and CDC), and (c) vaccines would become voluntary and possibly more expensive but perhaps coverable under medical insurance.
3. Stop taxpayer funding of medical research, instead provide the incentives via a double-value or triple-value tax deduction approach for individual taxpayers to fund competing medical grant financial foundations. A double-value tax deduction, means a $1 given allows the individual to record on their taxes they donated $2.
4. Have the Congress pass these laws on a non-recorded vote so that their pharmaceutical overlords can't see how individual legislators voted (it's a simple procedural rule to allow bill passage by aye-nay voices).
5. Recommend individual states to abolish the DECERTIFICATION practices of individual medical licensing boards and pharmacy licensing boards; replace the decertification process by the use of civil law suits that require a trial by jury.
