While central banks control your wealth through monetary manipulation, public health cartels control your body through medical mandates and both use the same playbook of opacity, coercion, and ideological capture. This isn't coincidence; it's coordinated control. From COVID lockdowns to vaccine passports, we've witnessed the merger of financial and medical tyranny into a unified surveillance state that treats you not as a free individual, but as a data point to be managed. The time has come to recognize public health for what it truly is: central banking for your body, and just as deserving of abolition.
“We believe an insidious agenda is being pursued in the name of public health. The use of the coercive power of the state by special interest groups who use health issues for two broad purposes. First public health matters are smokescreen to camouflage self-interested behaviour or what economists call rent seeking. Put simply, health activists lobby for legislation, primarily tax increases that are earmarked for their particular causes and regulations at all levels of government that benefit them financially. Second, health issues are used to advance an ideological agenda, an agenda which without exception fosters an increased role of the state in every aspect of our lives and in our lifestyles. Every government bureaucrat is inherently an empire builder and fabricating public health scares has become an ideal technique for garnering political support for bureaucratic empire building and increased budgets to alleviate the crisis.” From Pathology to Politics: Public Health in America, Thomas di Lorenzo
Given the furore boiling over at the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) in the last couple of days, let’s take this opportunity to briefly explore “public health,” since the CDC is recognized as the “leading public health institution” in America. The purpose of this exploration isn’t to dissect the latest bureaucratic meltdown (entertaining as that may be) but to get to the fundamentals of what public health actually is and what it is not. While the CDC is my reference point, the critique applies to every public health agency in the world, up to and including the final boss: the World Health Organization (WHO).
The goal is simple, establish a realistic framework for understanding how these agencies function, given the outsized influence they wield over health policy. And the truth is, public health is not what you think it is.
The Marxist Roots of Public Health
Most people associate “public health” with medicine, doctors, and data-driven science. Nothing could be further from the truth. Public health isn’t medicine, but it’s ideology with a stethoscope. The very notion of public health is a political project, rooted in collectivist ideology, that subverts the individual doctor-patient relationship and inserts the state as mediator.
The CDC’s own definition reveals this bias;
“Public health is the science of protecting and improving the health of people and their communities. This work is achieved by promoting healthy lifestyles, researching disease and injury prevention, and detecting, preventing and responding to infectious diseases. Overall, public health is concerned with protecting the health of entire populations. These populations can be as small as a local neighborhood, or as big as an entire country or region of the world.”
Sounds benign doesn’t it? Notice what’s missing? You. Your individual health circumstances, personal medical history, and unique risk factors don’t matter. You’re just a data point in their epidemiological experiment. The focus is not on the individual, it’s on the collective.
Public health operates on two Marxist principles: the greatest good for the greatest number, and the ends justify the means. When mixed with corporate capture, this becomes weaponized collectivism disguised as science. What started as disease control has metastasized into social engineering. “Health equity,” climate activism, income redistribution, all now fall under public health’s expanding umbrella. Even Planned Parenthood echoes this rhetoric, demanding ”equal access to reproductive healthcare.” These Marxist “ethics” along with mathematical models now form its backbone, with no relationship at all with reality.
Public health experts see themselves as central planners, authorized to impose uniform medical interventions on everyone for the supposed greater good. Your personal risk profile doesn’t matter. Your consent doesn’t matter. What matters is compliance with whatever statistically “optimal” outcome the bureaucrats are chasing.
When the assumptions of the central planners turn out to be wrong, the consequences are catastrophic, because the error is scaled across millions. Predictably, the experts take zero accountability for their mistakes when this happens. The COVID plandemic blatantly exposed this truth that, one-size-fits-all policies, backed by bad models and ideological certainty, produced mass harm that still reverberates today.
These interventions are then promoted through top-down mechanisms, governmental and corporate policies coupled with coercive judicial enforcement, propaganda, insurance rate manipulation, punitive taxation, and outright mandates backed by the threat of violence. The logic is the same as every other socialist enterprise: the ends justify the means, and the individual must be sacrificed for the “greater good.” As Ludwig von Mises warned:
“The characteristic feature of present-day policies is the trend toward a substitution of government control for free enterprise… They aim at full government control of education and at the socialization of the medical profession. There is no sphere of human activity that they would not be prepared to subordinate to regimentation by the authorities.”
Public health today is exactly that: the subordination of medicine to politics.
The Death of Medical Nuance
That’s another reason why during the plandemic nuance died overnight. Natural immunity from infection? Irrelevant. Your age and risk profile? Meaningless. Personal health circumstances? Ignored. Everyone had to wear a mask, everyone had to social distance, everyone had to stay home and everyone had to be vaccinated. You had to comply or else.
Dissent wasn’t just discouraged; it was branded as dangerous misinformation. Scientists who questioned the orthodoxy found themselves professionally crucified. Doctors who treated patients based on individual assessment rather than bureaucratic protocol were threatened with license revocation. At its core, public health is deeply ideological and tyrannical
This is what Mises identified as the inevitable endpoint of bureaucratic control:**
“Totalitarianism is much more than mere bureaucracy. It is the subordination of every individual’s whole life, work, and leisure, to the orders of those in power and office. It is the reduction of man to a cog in an all-embracing machine of compulsion and coercion. It forces the individual to renounce any activity of which the government does not approve. It tolerates no expression of dissent.”
The COVID response perfectly exemplified this totalitarian model; with every aspect of human existence, from work to worship, from education to entertainment, becoming subject to the arbitrary dictates of public health bureaucrats.
The Vaccine Cult’s Sacred Doctrine
Nowhere is public health’s ideological rigidity more apparent than in its treatment of vaccines as sacred religious artifacts. Questioning vaccines, even specific ones, is treated as heresy. The catechism is always the same, “Vaccines are one of the greatest breakthroughs of the 20th century that have saved millions of lives from diseases such as polio, smallpox and measles. While side-effects can be experienced by some people, they are very rare. Vaccines are safe and effective. Vaccines save lives” In other words, the science is settled and only idiotic quacks question this. This isn’t scientific discourse, it’s dogma. The public health priesthood doesn’t engage with criticism; it excommunicates critics.
The uncomfortable truth of this overzealous adherence to “all vaccines are safe and effective” is not just about corruption, it’s ideological. For those inside the establishment, belief in vaccines is a core identity marker of belonging to “science” or “medicine.” This bias compounds over time: evidence that confirms the dogma is amplified, evidence that contradicts it is filtered out. Before long, you’re left with a worldview where “all the evidence” supports vaccines, even though much of it does not.
This is why critical questions are ignored. How long does protection last? What are the odds of acute or chronic adverse reactions? Who is most at risk? What are the long-term consequences of mass vaccination? Instead of tackling these questions, public health reduces everything to marketing slogans like “the HPV vaccine prevents cancer” while burying any inconvenient data highlighting the contrary..
The pharmaceutical companies manufacturing these products enjoy legal immunity from harm claims while public health agencies actively suppress inconvenient data that might threaten their narrative. This represents the complete corruption of evidence-based medicine, which was originally created to overturn medicine’s dogmatic resistance to abandoning bad practices. Industry quickly realized they could hijack this system by monopolizing the “best evidence” through medical journals and mass media, hiring experts to promote their predetermined conclusions, and burying conflicting evidence as “non-credible.”
A Legacy of Authoritarian Overreach
The CDC’s track record is a graveyard of diabolical experiments and genocide. The CDC’s roots are strongly anchored in eugenics. Initially known as U.S. Public Health Service, it was involved with some of the most horrific eugenics experiments you can think of. From the forced sterilization campaigns targeting Black, Puerto Rican and Native American women to the unconscionable Tuskegee syphilis experiments that left Black men untreated for decades, this agency has consistently prioritized ideology over individual human dignity. All this was done without informed consent. This isn’t fringe history but these are dark examples of what public health cartels do when no one is watching.
More recently, they’ve expanded their mission beyond infectious disease to declare “racism” a public health emergency. What does social justice activism have to do with epidemiology? Everything, if your real goal is expanding bureaucratic power into every corner of human existence.
Public Health and Central Banking: Two Sides of the Same Scam
Just as central bankers obscure the costs of monetary debasement behind jargon and selective statistics, public health bureaucrats obscure the harms of their interventions behind cherry-picked data and the mantra of “consensus.” Just like central banks, they manipulate the entire healthcare ecosystem. They determine which research gets funded, which treatment protocols get approved, which therapies get suppressed. Like central bankers controlling currency, they control the flow of medical information and acceptable practice. They both monopolize information. Both bury dissent. Both weaponize “expertise” to entrench their power, and in both cases, the consequences are catastrophic.
When the monetary system hides inflation, citizens lose economic sovereignty. When the medical system hides risks, citizens lose bodily sovereignty. Whether it’s your wealth or your health, the pattern is the same: control through opacity, coercion, and deception.
This monopolistic control creates a system optimized not for health outcomes but for pharmaceutical profits and bureaucratic power. While public health officials receive millions in donations from drug companies and from royalties on vaccine patents, prescription drug use has skyrocketed, chronic disease rates have exploded, and overall health outcomes have declined precipitously.
If these institutions were truly committed to public health, wouldn’t we expect to see healthier populations after decades of their intervention? Instead, we’ve witnessed the systematic medicalization of normal human existence, turning healthy people into patients in need of pharmaceutical intervention. This a disgustingly evil group of people that should not be given any attention by any non-comatose individual. They are salesmen for Big pharma whose health recommendations are nothing more than sales pitches for the latest witch brew from the pharma cult
The Freedom Litmus Test
Here’s the fundamental question: Can you be considered a free individual if bureaucrats in Washington, Geneva, or Brussels can restrict your movement, your work, your social interactions, and your bodily autonomy based on your compliance with their medical dictates?
The answer is obvious. When faceless officials can determine whether you can travel, work, attend school, or even leave your home based on your vaccination status, you’re not living in a free society, you’re living in a medical surveillance state.
Public health emergencies have become the preferred pretext for suspending constitutional rights and implementing authoritarian control measures that would have been unthinkable just decades ago. The precedent has been set: all it takes is a declaration of “public health emergency” to transform free citizens into subjects of the state.
The Abolition Imperative
Some argue that without institutions like the CDC, public health would collapse. They’re right and that’s the point. Public health, as the political management of health, deserves to collapse. The notion that we need unelected bureaucrats to make our health decisions for us is not only false but actively harmful. These agencies don’t prevent health crises; they create and perpetuate them while consolidating power and enriching their industry partners. They monopolize funding, dictate protocols, bury evidence, and prioritize pharmaceutical profits over genuine well-being. They are: ideologically possessed, corporately captured, and fundamentally hostile to liberty. They should not be reformed. They should be abolished.
The purpose of a system is what it does, not what it claims. What public health does is strip you of bodily autonomy, enforce uniform compliance, and criminalize dissent.
Reclaiming Medical Sovereignty
As a free individual, you are responsible for your own health decisions. Not the CDC. Not the WHO. Not any Ministry of Health. You. Only in a free society can that responsibility, and that sovereignty, truly exist.
The public health establishment wants you to believe you’re too stupid, too ignorant, too selfish to make these decisions for yourself. They want you to surrender your medical autonomy to their supposed expertise. They want you to trust them despite their long history of corruption, cover-ups, and catastrophic failures.
Don’t.
Your body, your choice, your responsibility, your freedom. It’s time to reject the public health cartel and reclaim the fundamental human right to medical self-determination. The alternative is a future where your health, your freedom, and your very humanity are subject to the whims of unelected bureaucrats who view you not as an individual with inherent dignity, but as a statistic to be manipulated for the “greater good.”
