May 19, 2023 Season 1 Episode 1
co-opted care

Dr Julian Fidge is a General Practitioner and pharmacist, in his 60s, practicing in rural Victoria. Julian has a diverse background, having served as a captain and medical officer in the Australian army, where he was involved in overseas operations. He identifies himself as a mainstream conservative doctor. 

Julian recently played a significant role in influencing the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to reverse their restrictions on the use of ivermectin in Australia. 

Throughout the conversation, Julian willingly confronts potential consequences for discussing topics the medical board has deemed inappropriate, such as questioning the government's public health response. However, he believes it is his responsibility to speak out against the prevailing level of bullying and harassment of doctors by the government.

1:14:52 – MRNA technology has not undergone post-marketing surveillance (phase 3 trials) and rolling them out as “safe and effective” mechanism for vaccine delivery was a fundamental failing of science in Australia

1:20:43 – The patient experience during the pandemic, pragmatic vs. under duress

1:23:55 – The courts reluctance to criticize the government but the handling of the pandemic was a broad failure across the public service and the depth of this failure led to injury and death, the truth is out there but deplatformed instantly

1:29:23 - The evidence does not support the wildly extravagant claims of the drug companies and government, there are no absolutes in medicine, the mantra “safe and effective” was a lie
