I saw frequently in a lot of states where medical boards were taking action against physicians simply trying to abide the Hippocratic oath, abide the scientific method. And I think they wanted these things in the news to scare people. I think really convicting people, taking their license away was not the point as much as saying to doctors, if you follow this path, if you don't do what big Pharma wants, if you don't do what the ppe, if you don't prescribe remdesivir, if you don't do that, then this could happen to you. Yeah. To me, it was a big four forced compliance campaign. You know, we're going to force you to do these things. And if you don't, we're going to punish you for it. (13:18–13:41)
