SSRIs and School Shootings, FDA Corruption, and Why Everyone on Anti-Depressants Is Totally Unhappy.

Tucker tackles what I think is an extremely important topic.

Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring is a psychiatrist and former FDA medical officer who exposes psychiatry’s hidden harms and industry-driven myths about psychiatric drugs.

I’ve had my own very limited experience with SSRIs about 25 years ago due to stress caused by some fairly dire medical conditions at the time. Not so ironically, those conditions were also caused by pharmaceutical side effects, and started me down a path towards the recognition that the *entire* mainstream medical establishment is captured and corrupted by the drug industry and that you need to question every single medication and procedure your doctor recommends and explore every possible natural alternative to them in order to get to root cause of the condition. This is how I absolutely, 100% knew the Covid jabs were going to be rigged towards revenues instead of outcomes.

Up to 20% of the country is on these things and if taken when pregnant, creates amygdala changes in the fetus, then predisposes those children to emotional issues throughout life. It is the self-licking ice cream cone.

The good doctor here affirms something I learned through my experiences decades ago with mainstream medicine — they are only interested in symptom management via pharmaceuticals as a means of recurring income streams. Your actual health as measured by understanding the root of why your body is behaving the way it is, usually because of nutrient or lifestyle choices either is not understood or honestly doesn’t matter to them. Your body is a system that responds to chemicals that creates desired outcomes. The mainstream medical community is a service that dispenses those chemicals in order to make an income. You are not seen as a person, let alone an individual that has a slightly different physiology than the next person, with different issues, concerns, and needs.

I think most LRC readers won’t be surprised at all by this. The FDA’s funding model is the veritable definition of fraud and captured. Forbes puts this at about 75% of the budget is from pharmaceutical companies via the PDUFA Act. How can yours and my bests interests be at heart at the FDA? It’s not possible.

This is a fantastic interview and it anecdotally mirrors my experience.
