I would venture to say that the healthcare insurance industry is no better!! For years I have fought to obtain my RA biologic. I have insurance and I pay my co pays. I recently learned that my $6500+ biologic medication charged to my insurance could be bought without insurance for $950. All of healthcare, pharmaceutical companies are corrupt.
As are ALL the member of Congress & other government agencies taking Big Pharma & Insurance lobby money & kick-backs to ensure those companies can continue with their scams, lies & dangerous practices.
Since my comments were shadow-banned here and elsewhere today I did even more research into Facebook...errrr....Substacks's 'community standards' automatic moderation. Here's the Stack I put together showing what I learned, the why's and how's, what we can do about it, and what it means to all Stack authors, the community standards being applied to each individual Stack. Which results in Stacks, including Focal Points, being shadow-banned across the broader platform for the same 'violations' of 'community standards' the Substack Support Chatbot revealed.
To retain the automod community standards on comments is to consent to support those same standards being applied to the Focal Points Stack. Because those standards include "medical misinformation" and other contentious censorship filters that linger from the Scamdemic. And aren't just for comments under individual Stacks. Those are the Substack's declared community standards as the SS chatbot partially described. And that means Focal Points is similarly shadow-banned on the platform. Only intentional readers are now able to find it, as we must now intentionally click to see "replies hidden." Foolish of John/Peter to keep that automod setting.
IF they prefer some sort of moderation filter it appears as though SS has a customization moderation filter that authors can use and set their own parameters. Authors are already able to moderate content on their publications by using the "Delete" and "Block" controls on a case-by-case basis. But if they decide to automate it due to volume they should set their own standards, not adopt the NYT/CNN censorship standards that it appears SS has adopted.
For readers seeing a MAHArd comment below this, that user (malicious bot?) came to my Stack, dropped a condescending insult on it. I looked up the user and discovered it is a brand new Substack account, we have no subscriptions or follows in common, it doesn't even follow Focal Points, and the only connections it has are to woke hard users as far as I can tell. The only activity I see it's had since joining a few weeks ago is pure trolling and insults at other commenters. Because I'm a real person and not an automod algorithm that bans/removes comments I possess both the discernment and discretion to block users. Condescending comments alone don't earn that. But a distinct malicious pattern combined with that does.
IF it is a real user and not a bot then it is the typical lefty type that engages in the "punch - no punch back" tactic of insulting and then acting the victim when called out on it. Blocked.
Wow. I posted a comment under yours, Bill, and it is now one of two "hidden replies" at the bottom of the comments. Still clickable to read, but hidden from main view. You've been looking for evidence that Substack is censoring. Exhibit A is at the bottom of this comment thread and in this .jpg screenshot I just created:
EDIT: Just used Substack Chatbot, it said hiding comments is typically result of an author's restrictions on commenting, words that trigger. Chatbot claims hidden replies are not resulting from Substack platform restrictions. So the censorship seems to be based on John Leake's commenting restrictions. Not only resulting in hiding my comment, but hiding the other user's comment that included "k[r]ills microorganisms"
If so, John, your restrictions on commenting are shooting an elephant gun at a rabbit.
EDIT of EDIT: Same thing just happened on a Celia Farber Stack, hidden comments, no violence, no threats, no vulgarity. just strident tone. Hidden reply now. This is a new Substack censorship feature that has just been activated. Chatbot is denying, saying is publication rules. Odds that both John's and Celia's Stacks just started hiding replies today: Exactly 0%
As I read this I think of a friend who passed away a few months ago. He had worked as a chemist for Pfizer decades ago, focused on developing antibiotics. A few days after his Covid 19 booster, he began having the exact same symptoms Christine Cotton had. He felt his legs were on fire. This man who had been playing tennis 3 times a week, could now not walk more than 3 steps. And this condition finally killed him. A colleague of his at Pfizer said to a rep: We have to do something for the people who are being injured by the covid vaccine. The response: "We aren't doing that, we're in the business of making money".
ortho molecular medicine and repurposed drugs have so much to offer.....

Two things we should all remember. Two extremely safe drugs that could have saved thousands, maybe millions, were squashed because if they were considered effective on covid, the vaccines could not have gotten their "emergency release" rather than need the time-tested trials. Secondly, those that died or were injured after their first covid vaccine, but before their next booster, were counted as "unvaxed" until they received their booster. Infuriating and quite evil.
Vitamin D acceptance delayed by Big Pharma following the Disinformation Playbook
Commentary by William B. Grant, Ph.D.
(OMNS Oct 1 2018) A "Disinformation Playbook" has been used for decades by corporations to delay government action on matters of public interest that would adversely affect their income and profit. Some well-known examples include the big tobacco companies, the coal and oil industries, the sugar industry, and the National Football League. The Union of Concerned Scientists has outlined five "pillars" of the Playbook [Disinformation Playbook], [Alvord 2017]. Big Pharma may be using the Playbook to slow the adoption of strong support for vitamin D. This article is the product of my further analysis.
The Disinformation Playbook
1. The Fake
Conduct counterfeit science and try to pass it off as legitimate research.
2. The Blitz
Harass scientists who speak out with results or views inconvenient for industry.
3. The Diversion
Manufacture uncertainty about science where little or none exists.
4. The Screen
Buy credibility through alliances with academia or professional societies.
5. The Fix
Manipulate government officials or processes to influence policy inappropriately.
Background and evidence that vitamin D improves health outcomes
Big Pharma and its allies in the U.S. and perhaps also in Europe are opposing major recommendations for increases in vitamin D intakes and higher serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels [above 30 or 40 ng/ml (75-100 nmol/l)], apparently because such measures can significantly reduce the burden of human disease and, therefore, would reduce income and profit from treating disease. Healthcare in the U.S. now consumes almost 20% of the gross domestic product.
Historically, vitamin D was associated with prevention and cure of rickets and osteomalacia, and later with calcium absorption and bone health. In the past two decades, evidence has accrued showing that higher 25(OH)D serum levels from diet, supplements, and/or solar UVB exposure, are associated and mechanistically linked to better health and longer life expectancy.
In 2009-2010, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) reviewed the evidence regarding vitamin D, and was instructed by the study sponsors, the Food and Drug Agency, the National Institutes of Health, and Health Canada, to use only the evidence from published high-quality vitamin D randomized controlled trials (RCTs). However, by that time, such trials had only found benefits for bone health. From these studies it was known that bone health 'normalizes' above 25(OH)D levels of~20 ng/ml (50 nmol/l). However, they also used evidence from purely observational studies to suggest that there were risks associated with vitamin D supplementation that raised serum 25(OH)D levels above 30 ng/ml [Ross, 2011a]. This was the basis for their hypothesis of a U-shaped serum 25(OH)D level vs. health outcome relationship (higher risk for both low and high levels). However, this concern was later shown to be largely unfounded since most of the studies reporting U-shaped risk vs. serum level had no data for subject vitamin D supplementation, or for when it had started, thereby confounding subject stratification [Grant, 2016].
Over the last two decades, evidence has accumulated that UVB exposure and vitamin D have many non-skeletal health benefits, mainly from ecological and observational studies and from mechanistic evidence. Recent evidence has accumulated from vitamin D supplementation studies, especially those showing a correction of deficiency [Martineau, 2016]. Such evidence is now strong for cancer [Moukayed, 2013], [Grant, 2017], [Grant, 2018], [McDonnell, 2018], cardiovascular disease [Zhang, 2017], [Wimalawansa, 2018], respiratory tract infections [Martineau, 2017], all-cause mortality rates [Grant, 2011], [Garland, 2014], [Grant, 2016], [Lindqvist, 2016], and pregnancy and birth outcomes such as preterm birth [McDonnell, 2017], [Wagner, 2018] and as now widely reviewed [e.g. Holick, 2007; Pludowski, 2013; Baggerly, 2015; Grant, 2018; Page, 2018; Sorenson and Grant, 2018].
Recommended vitamin D intakes and optimal 'target' serum 25(OH)D levels have increased since the IOM report. For example, The Endocrine Society subsequently recommended 1000-4000 IU/d (25-100 mcg/d) vitamin D supplement intakes and serum 25(OH)D levels >30 ng/ml (75 nmol/l) for patients with baseline insufficiency [Holick, 2011]. A more recent review of vitamin D supplementation guidelines also recommended >30 ng/ml [Pludowski, 2018]. However, such recommendations may be replaced in the near future by those recommending >40 ng/ml based on studies such as those reported recently for preterm birth [McDonnell, 2017] and breast cancer [McDonnell, 2018]. One reason for the low earlier recommendations was the large underestimate made by the IOM in calculating intakes for the average population, (i.e. in 50% of the population) rather than for 97.5% of the population for whom the recommendations were presumed to be aimed [Veugelers & Ekwaru, 2014].
Of course, Big Pharma and its allies must follow current research findings on vitamin D with trepidation since they also realize that the general public also follows the research and has increased its rates of self-supplementation with > 1000 IU/d vitamin D from 0.2% of the population in 2001-2002 to 18.2% in 2013-2014, and that supplementation with >4000 IU/d has also increased from 0.2% in 2007-2008 to 3.2% in 2013-2014 [Rooney, 2017].
If his shot worked, he did not need to worry about others doing "the right thing." The fact that people were not understanding this shows how deep the mind control went.
Until there are criminal penalties for creating fraudulent medical research to get FDA approval nothing will change. mRNA injection fiasco is just the latest with Pfizer being right there. Trovan is still used by hospitals as a last ditch effort to save a dying patient from a sepsis problem. In the 1960's Pfizer was part of a cartel that was keeping antibiotic prices higher than they should be. In the settlement, Walgreens received a check for $1 million dollars around 1967.
This article caught my eye when John Leake mentioned that Pfizer's trovafloxacin scandal in 1996 inspired John le Care novel The Constant Gardiner. It may be of interest that the book Constant Gardiner and the movie of the same name were also inspired by the story of my friend Dr. Nancy Olivieri and her courageous fight with Apotex,a bit smaller but equally corrupt pharma. I have personally seen the hand written letter John le Care wrote to Dr. Olivieri about her story inspiring him to write his book, which was later made into a movie.
The intimidation, law suites, career damage and polarization of the scientific community is typical in these stories.
Anyone else notice that after huge fines are paid, business continues as usual? It’s a devil’s bargain. The government gets a slush fund and the individuals involved are able to hide behind the enormous resources of the corporation. I say criminal penalties for fraud is the only thing that fixes this. No more pay offs.
Break up the power of the extreme pharmaceutical monopoly with
Vitamin D, Vitamin C, and Ivermectin.
Excerpt from page 245-246
of Dr. Michael Holick's
(a 40 year researcher on vitamin D .. in the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame)
2010 book, "The Vitamin D Solution"
"For some, even physicians, it's incomprehensible that vitamin D [levels over 45, even over 60 are widely recommended)
can reduce the risk of heart attack by as much as 50 percent;
reduce the risk of common cancers of the colon, prostate, and breast by as much as 50 percent; reduce the risk of infections [typo in book? infectious?] diseases, including influenza, by as much as 90 percent;
reduce the risk of type 1 diabetes by 78 percent in a child who gets 2000 IU of vitamin D a day in the first year of life;
decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes;
decrease the risk of dementia and depression;
wipe out cases of fibromyalgia that have been misdiagnosed;
and dramatically decrease the risk of multiple sclerosis and other auto-immune diseases.
When in doubt, I always go back to this simple fact; every tissue and cell in the body has a vitamin D receptor." end of excerpt from page 245-246 of Dr. Michael Holick's book "The Vitamin D Solution".
Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime: How Big Pharma Has Corrupted Healthcare
Peter C. Gøtzsche
4.18
412 ratings75 reviews
Prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer.
In his latest ground-breaking book, Peter C. Gøtzsche exposes the pharmaceutical industries and their charade of fraudulent behavior, both in research and marketing where the morally repugnant disregard for human lives is the norm 1. He convincingly draws close comparisons with the tobacco conglomerates, revealing the extraordinary truth behind efforts to confuse and distract the public and their politicians.
The book addresses, in evidence-based detail, an extraordinary system failure caused by widespread crime, corruption, bribery and impotent drug regulation in need of radical reforms.
Orson Welles. You remind me of a long-term regret. On numerous occasions while having lunch at Ma Maison, I noticed Orson at a nearby table, alone. My impulse was to go over and ask if I could join him. But each time propriety stopped me. In retrospect I wonder what amazing conversations I might have shared had I dared to ask to join him for lunch.
From what I've come to learn about him he'd have regaled you with stories, tickled your imagination, dropped some truth bombs in your general direction, but then made sure you followed a path away from the truth of it. He was a master propagandist. Trained and practiced in the art of deception by the very same cabal that truthseekers, freedom fighters seek to unmask and hold accountable. I wouldn't pass up the opportunity for the conversation, but I'd know he'd be practicing the tactic of lying known as the "credibility of three." Telling me two seemingly revealing facts and then dropping the lie that benefits from trust that the two revealing facts are intended to impart on it.
First they capture academia. It’s all about deceit. Then they build the hierarchy by hijacking and inversion, building out the complicity by whatever means necessary, jealousy, blackmail, terror, etc.
From there they tweak the metastasizing cancer with growing collaboration or proponents. That way it’s never a conspiracy.
Who are they/them?
To understand that one must rise above the fray, the noise to a bird’s eye view to spot the manipulations. From there it’s a simple 2+2=4, not 5.
Funny thing, it was somewhere in the 1990’s when the uniparty under the Democrat Plantation Party banner was covertly initiated.
Immediately China became an American favorite (think complicity), simultaneously gutting skilled manufacturing, sending abroad to slave regimes, severely depressing America’s biome middle classes onto socialist .gov dole programs and drugs, to the delight of coming China mega pharma, DAVOS/WEF/WHO and last but most importantly the manipulators of all totalitarian regimes, the monarchical bloodlines of Eurasia, London World Banking, Fed., and Lloyd’s of London insurers.
Given the historical and ongoing mass injury and murder caused by Big Pharma, makes one ponder whether vigilante justice might rectify what regulatory slaps on the wrist have consistently failed to deliver.
I think you have the answer. Though not the high road some want to take. What is the old saying, don't bring a knife to a gunfight. Pharma is using a bazooka, a crate of dynamite, hand grenades etc against us, and we have brought a cap gun...
Yes, I was a big fan of John Barron of Reader's Digest in the late 1960s. He wrote extensively on Cold War issues. Orson Welles was later cast in another Cold War movie, 'The Kremlin Letter,' alongside Richard Boone. Boone was marvelously funny! I bought and read John Le Carré's books... but I also watched the ten-hour BBC series 'Tinker,' starring the late Alec Guinness.
I would venture to say that the healthcare insurance industry is no better!! For years I have fought to obtain my RA biologic. I have insurance and I pay my co pays. I recently learned that my $6500+ biologic medication charged to my insurance could be bought without insurance for $950. All of healthcare, pharmaceutical companies are corrupt.
As are ALL the member of Congress & other government agencies taking Big Pharma & Insurance lobby money & kick-backs to ensure those companies can continue with their scams, lies & dangerous practices.
Your last sentence is what writers call an understatement.

It is a much bigger deal than just comments under John and Peter's Stack.
Focal Points can and needs to disable comments moderator/blocker. .
To retain the automod community standards on comments is to consent to support those same standards being applied to the Focal Points Stack. Because those standards include "medical misinformation" and other contentious censorship filters that linger from the Scamdemic. And aren't just for comments under individual Stacks. Those are the Substack's declared community standards as the SS chatbot partially described. And that means Focal Points is similarly shadow-banned on the platform. Only intentional readers are now able to find it, as we must now intentionally click to see "replies hidden." Foolish of John/Peter to keep that automod setting.
IF they prefer some sort of moderation filter it appears as though SS has a customization moderation filter that authors can use and set their own parameters. Authors are already able to moderate content on their publications by using the "Delete" and "Block" controls on a case-by-case basis. But if they decide to automate it due to volume they should set their own standards, not adopt the NYT/CNN censorship standards that it appears SS has adopted.

I looked up the user and discovered it is a brand new Substack account, we have no subscriptions or follows in common, it doesn't even follow Focal Points, and the only connections it has are to woke hard users as far as I can tell. The only activity I see it's had since joining a few weeks ago is pure trolling and insults at other commenters. Because I'm a real person and not an automod algorithm that bans/removes comments I possess both the discernment and discretion to block users. Condescending comments alone don't earn that.

Prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer.
In his latest ground-breaking book, Peter C. Gøtzsche exposes the pharmaceutical industries and their charade of fraudulent behavior, both in research and marketing where the morally repugnant disregard for human lives is the norm 1. He convincingly draws close comparisons with the tobacco conglomerates, revealing the extraordinary truth behind efforts to confuse and distract the public and their politicians.
The book addresses, in evidence-based detail, an extraordinary system failure caused by widespread crime, corruption, bribery and impotent drug regulation in need of radical reforms.

Orson Welles. You remind me of a long-term regret. On numerous occasions while having lunch at Ma Maison, I noticed Orson at a nearby table, alone. My impulse was to go over and ask if I could join him. But each time propriety stopped me. In retrospect I wonder what amazing conversations I might have shared had I dared to ask to join him for lunch.
From what I've come to learn about him he'd have regaled you with stories, tickled your imagination, dropped some truth bombs in your general direction, but then made sure you followed a path away from the truth of it. He was a master propagandist. Trained and practiced in the art of deception by the very same cabal that truthseekers, freedom fighters seek to unmask and hold accountable. I wouldn't pass up the opportunity for the conversation, but I'd know he'd be practicing the tactic of lying known as the "credibility of three." Telling me two seemingly revealing facts and then dropping the lie that benefits from trust that the two revealing facts are intended to impart on it.
Would have been interesting. Seemed like a lonely person.
First they capture academia. It’s all about deceit. Then they build the hierarchy by hijacking and inversion, building out the complicity by whatever means necessary, jealousy, blackmail, terror, etc.
From there they tweak the metastasizing cancer with growing collaboration or proponents. That way it’s never a conspiracy.
Who are they/them?
To understand that one must rise above the fray, the noise to a bird’s eye view to spot the manipulations. From there it’s a simple 2+2=4, not 5.
Funny thing, it was somewhere in the 1990’s when the uniparty under the Democrat Plantation Party banner was covertly initiated.
Immediately China became an American favorite (think complicity), simultaneously gutting skilled manufacturing, sending abroad to slave regimes, severely depressing America’s biome middle classes onto socialist .gov dole programs and drugs, to the delight of coming China mega pharma, DAVOS/WEF/WHO and last but most importantly the manipulators of all totalitarian regimes, the monarchical bloodlines of Eurasia, London World Banking, Fed., and Lloyd’s of London insurers.
Given the historical and ongoing mass injury and murder caused by Big Pharma, makes one ponder whether vigilante justice might rectify what regulatory slaps on the wrist have consistently failed to deliver.
I think you have the answer. Though not the high road some want to take. What is the old saying, don't bring a knife to a gunfight. Pharma is using a bazooka, a crate of dynamite, hand grenades etc against us, and we have brought a cap gun...
Yes, I was a big fan of John Barron of Reader's Digest in the late 1960s. He wrote extensively on Cold War issues. Orson Welles was later cast in another Cold War movie, 'The Kremlin Letter,' alongside Richard Boone. Boone was marvelously funny! I bought and read John Le Carré's books... but I also watched the ten-hour BBC series 'Tinker,' starring the late Alec Guinness.
