Do not give moral compromise a ‘foot in the door’.(Milgram’s machine had 30 graduations of shock, started at a mere 15 volts).Okay, you don’t want to do that, well just do this little bit…Well, you did that little bit last week, what’s the problem now?Make no mistake, conscience can be blunted.People carried on despite personal distressThe procedure created extreme levels of nervous tension in some …A degree of empathy was possible, but overridden by conformity, (all had been given a 45 Volt demo shock)Pressure of a situationDo not let the pressure of people or a situation override your moral stance. Use your rational intellect to avoid confusion generated by others.Authority can be wrongAn establishment that was once good can go bad. The power of an institution or state can be weaponised against the individual.No matter how apparently credible the source it can be wrong. Academics, doctors, researchers can all be wrong.Some academics, doctors, researchers can be bought.Obedience to authority can override personal morality.Feel free to appeal to absolute authority.Do to others as you would have them do to you (Luke 6, 31)The four standard prodsHow many times have you heard these?Sometimes our orders are explicit, other times much more covertThat which sound credible is often notMilgram’s subjects were given apparently authoritative information on the relationship between learning and punishment, We should challenge apparent axiomsWell, someone has to do it … You are just passing on the dirty job to the next guy, where is your consideration?What’s your field?Military, justice system, education, corpriate, healthcare?‘The point of rupture is the act of disobedience’.Look around, talk around, you will find your ethical prospective is not a currently unacceptable minority or hateful position. Many of us ordinary people share your morality.Classification of subjects‘Defiant subjects’, refused after 12 shocks‘Obedient subjects’, administered all shock levels commanded.Milgram’s subjects received a dehoaxDon’t expect this in your life Learn more about your ad choices.

The goal should be to raise 25(OH)D concentrations above 40–60 ng/mL (100–150 nmol/L). For treatment of people who become infected with COVID-19, higher vitamin D3 doses might be useful.

This excellent scientific analysis of recent events continues in interview two of this series. Follow Dr. Craig on SubStack, https://drclarecraig.substack.comCOVID, the untold story. So much more makes sense after this book and my first illuminating discussion with Dr. Craig. Get your copy in the UK here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Expired-untold-Dr-Clare-Craig/dp/1739344707Uploaded 16-12-23For friends in the US get your copy here, https://www.amazon.com/Expired-untold-Dr-Clare-Craig/dp/1739344707Have you ever felt the covid story did not entirely add up? Expired contains multiple eye-opening revelations about covid with compelling evidence that provides a coherent, sober and clear explanation that better fits the data we have so far. Meticulous research by pathologist Dr Clare Craig sheds light on the largely overlooked evidence of airborne virus transmission, examining twelve related beliefs on spread, lockdowns, asymptomatic infections, and masks. In addition, Expired champions the importance of Western ethical principles, damaged by pandemic actions and calls for their restoration. The covid debate has proved incredibly polarising. One side believed every intervention was saving lives, while the other emphasised the harms caused. Biased modelling based on a worst-case scenario led to fearful assumptions presented as fact. By dint of sheer repetition these ‘facts’ became unquestionable. Those scientists who dared to question were proclaimed dangerous. Welcome to Cloud-Covid-Land.Let’s bring back nuance. It’s time to return to reality." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
