R to @alizaeteri: This didn't happen by accident.
In 1910, the Rockefeller Foundation funded the Flexner Report.
It shut down hundreds of medical schools teaching natural and homeopathic medicine.
Only drug-and-surgery schools survived.
Rockefeller (who owned Standard Oil) literally built the modern pharmaceutical industry on petroleum-based medicine.

R to @alizaeteri: Today the same machine is even bigger.
BlackRock and Vanguard are among the largest shareholders in Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, and most Big Pharma giants.
They own the drugs, the hospitals, the insurance companies… and they profit every time the system makes another "error" that requires more treatment.

R to @alizaeteri: A 2016 analysis by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, published in The BMJ, estimated that medical errors are linked to OVER 250,000 deaths per year in the U.S.
That’s roughly 700 people per day.
And because medical errors are rarely listed on death certificates, the real number is likely MUCH higher.

R to @alizaeteri: Diagnostic errors are linked to an estimated 795,000 serious harms in the U.S. every year, including:
🔹death
🔹permanent disability
🔹major injury
… according to research led by David Newman-Toker published in BMJ Quality & Safety.
Hospitals, clinics, emergency rooms.
It happens in plain sight.

R to @alizaeteri: Take the opioid crisis…
The Jewish Sackler family built a pharmaceutical empire and helped fuel the opioid crisis through aggressive drug promotion.
The result?
Hundreds of thousands of deaths.
Millions of addicts.
A reminder that incentives inside healthcare systems can have massive consequences.

R to @alizaeteri: This is why it’s a silent genocide.
Just preventable deaths hidden behind white coats, trust, and “standard of care.”
The machine profits either way.
Pharma. Hospitals. Insurance.
When errors happen, they can lead to more tests, more treatments, more $$$ and more deaths.
And it rarely makes headlines.

#OpenClaw and Hermes agent are INCREDIBLE together
It's not about using one or the other. It's about learning how to use them as an AI agent team
In this video I go over the strengths and weaknesses of each, plus show you 4 workflows that will skyrocket your productivity:
