President Donald Trump announced plans to partner with Pfizer that will see the company invest $70 billion to build U.S.-based drug manufacturing factories. Trump also announced plans to purchase some Pfizer drugs at wholesale prices and offer those savings to customers through a Trump Rx.
Trump said in the press conference, “In addition, Pfizer has agreed to provide some of their most popular current medications to all consumers at heavily discounted prices. We’re also announcing that moving forward, all new medications introduced by Pfizer to the American market will be sold at the ‘most favored nation’ cost, so we’ll be paying essentially what other countries are paying.”
Given that this is January 10, 2025, I’m sure that many readers would be expecting me to comment on the recent, and increasingly bizarre, events of the last week and a half: the ISIS/ISIL-inspired attack in New Orleans, the detonation of a Tesla Cybertruck at the Trump International complex in Las Vegas, Nevada, or the Biblical-scale fires raging across the northern sectors of Los Angeles County, some of whom have been confirmed as being arson-sourced, and certain implications now being raised around a possible motive for starting even one of this fires…
…But that is not this article. While certainly important, things are still far too fluid to report with any real accuracy, so I’m going to leave those stories to marinate before considering tackling them – unfounded speculation is for those news agencies who are increasingly desperate for views and clicks.
Instead, we’re going to consider something arguably much more important — the evolution of military medicine.
The evolution of military medicine presents a unique paradox: forces trained to engage in combat must simultaneously provide care not only for their own casualties but also for injured civilians in their area of operations. This dual responsibility has shaped both tactical medicine and strategic planning, while raising complex ethical and practical challenges.
Historical Development
While detailed military medical texts existed in ancient history, especially among Roman military surgeons, those ancient methods were frequently hampered by a lack of what we would now call “scientific rigor”: the ‘four humors‘ persisted well into the Age of Enlightenment.
The story of modern military medicine really begins during the Napoleonic Wars, and progressing through to the Vietnam War, a testament of the development of revolutionary advances born from devastating necessity. During the Napoleonic campaigns, Baron Dominique-Jean Larrey pioneered the “flying ambulance” – horse-drawn carriages that rushed surgeons to the wounded on the battlefield. This innovative system, combined with Larrey’s development of rapid amputation techniques, marked the birth of modern battlefield triage.

However, the care of civilian casualties caught in the fighting remained largely an incidental concern until the advent of World War II, when occupying forces found themselves responsible for local populations devastated by combat operations. This created massive problems for small field medical units, in some cases forcing them to allow local civilian medical personnel to “help out” in the military hospitals, to handle the overflow.
The American Civil War (1861-1865) brought significant advances in medical organization and practice. The Union Army’s establishment of a sophisticated ambulance corps and field hospital system became a model for future conflicts. Dr. Jonathan Letterman, the “Father of Modern Battlefield Medicine,” standardized military medical procedures and created an efficient evacuation system that saved countless lives.

World War I witnessed both medical horrors and breakthroughs. The introduction of chemical warfare demanded new treatment protocols, while trench warfare’s massive casualties led to innovations in blood transfusion techniques and the treatment of shock. The war also saw major advances in reconstructive surgery, particularly in treating facial injuries, pioneered by doctors like Harold Gillies.
World War II marked a turning point with the widespread use of penicillin, which dramatically reduced deaths from infected wounds. The development of mobile army surgical hospitals (MASH units) brought advanced surgical care closer to the front lines than ever before. Blood banking and improved techniques for treating burn victims – crucial in the Pacific theater, due to the large-scale use of flamethowers and napalm – represented major advances in trauma care.
The Korean War refined the MASH concept, with helicopter evacuation becoming standard practice. This conflict demonstrated that rapid transport to surgical facilities could significantly improve survival rates, leading to the “golden hour” concept in trauma care.
By the Vietnam War, the military medical system had evolved into a sophisticated network of care. Helicopters, now integral to medical evacuation, could transport casualties to well-equipped surgical facilities within minutes. Advanced trauma care techniques, including improved blood replacement therapy and wound management, reduced the mortality rate to 1% for soldiers who reached medical facilities alive – the lowest in military history to that point.

This evolution in military medicine has consistently influenced civilian healthcare, with wartime innovations in trauma care, surgery, and medical evacuation continuing to save lives in peacetime emergency medicine.
Modern Operational Challenges
Today’s military medical services face several key challenges when providing civilian care:
Security Considerations
– Protection of medical facilities
– Safety of medical personnel
– Verification of civilian status
– Prevention of facility exploitation
Cultural Complications
– Language barriers
– Religious considerations
– Gender-specific care requirements
– Local medical practices
Technical Evolution
Modern military medicine has adapted to meet these challenges through several innovations:
Mobile Treatment Facilities
– Rapidly deployable field hospitals
– Modular medical units
– Specialized trauma equipment
– Portable diagnostic capabilities
Training Adaptations
– Cultural awareness programs
– Language training
– Civilian trauma protocols
– Pediatric care specialization
Technological Advancement
– Autonomous medical systems
– Enhanced diagnostics
– Remote treatment capabilities
– Data management
Population Dynamics
– Aging populations
– Urban concentration
– Health condition changes
– Resource competition
– Cultural dynamics and differences
One aspect of the military-civilian interface that used to exist, but was abandoned after the end of the Civil Defense Program and the establishment of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), was the Civil Defense Emergency Hospital (CDEH).

The Civil Defense Emergency Hospital (CDEH) program, operational from the 1950s to the early 1970s, represented a unique approach to disaster preparedness during the Cold War era. Each packaged hospital unit was designed to be stored in a remarkably compact space – typically requiring only about 2,500 cubic feet of storage – yet could be rapidly deployed to provide a 200-bed emergency medical facility.
These hospitals came packaged in distinctive gray-green wooden crates and included nearly everything needed for emergency medical operations except for beds and bedding. The standard package contained surgical instruments, medical supplies, basic diagnostic equipment, generators, water tanks, and even administrative materials. When properly stored, these supplies could remain viable for years with minimal maintenance.
Key features of the CDEH system included:
– Rapid deployment capability (designed to be operational within 24-48 hours)
– Complete surgical suite capabilities
– Basic laboratory facilities
– X-ray equipment
– Pharmacy supplies sufficient for several weeks of operation
– Self-contained power and water systems
– Basic sterilization equipment
The units were strategically placed throughout the United States, often stored in civic buildings, schools, or other facilities that could serve as emergency hospital sites. The host facilities were selected based on criteria including:
– Adequate floor space (approximately 20,000 square feet)
– Access to water and power infrastructure
– Loading dock or ground-level access for equipment movement
– Suitable ventilation systems
– Strategic location relative to population centers
These packaged hospitals represented a significant investment in civil defense medical infrastructure, with each unit costing approximately $60,000 at the time (equivalent to roughly $500,000 in current value). The program’s design principles – emphasizing compact storage, rapid deployment, and comprehensive medical capability – influenced later developments in military field hospitals and disaster response systems.
The concept’s legacy can be seen in modern disaster preparedness, particularly in the development of mobile field hospitals and emergency response units. While the original CDEH program was eventually phased out, its core principle of maintaining pre-packaged, rapidly deployable medical facilities continues to influence emergency planning today.
Conclusion
The evolution of military medicine continues to be shaped by the need to balance combat support with humanitarian care. Success requires not only technical and medical expertise but also careful consideration of ethical, cultural, and strategic implications. As warfare becomes increasingly urban and technologically complex, the challenges of providing civilian care while maintaining combat effectiveness will only grow more demanding.
This reality requires continued adaptation in training, equipment, and policy to ensure military medical services can meet their dual responsibilities effectively while maintaining operational capabilities.
The Freedomist — Keeping Watch, So You Don’t Have To
A video filmed in 2021 shows Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel admitting he told Dr. Anthony Fauci to “mock up an outbreak” of a deadly virus to prove the medical industry could respond rapidly to produce a vaccine. He made that plea just one month before the plandemic began to unfold.
Bancel said on the video, “At the end of the day we talked to Tony [Fauci] about something I’ve always been passionate about, which is outbreak and pandemic readiness because I knew the mRNA technology could go so fast. And so I say one day we should mock up an outbreak where you guys send us by email a sequence of a virus you pick and we start the clock watch and we see how quickly we can give you GNP dose to get into the clinic. You guys take into the clinic, and I told them we should be able to do that in less than 60 days, and they were all laughing, saying you cannot do a GNP product in less than 60 days.”
Just one month before the Covid pandemic was unleashed in 2019, Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel told Dr. Anthony Fauci to “mock up an outbreak” of a deadly virus, a leaked video has revealed.
The video, filmed in 2021, shows Bancel discussing a conversation he had with Fauci in November 2019, while he was serving as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
Bancel was recalling the conversation during an interview with Atlas Venture.
In the video of the interview, which was leaked in sections by activist Matt Baker, Bancel says he spoke with Fauci about staging an outbreak just one month before COVID-19 first emerged in December 2019.
The Moderna boss says he spoke to Fauci about a major pandemic because he was confident that an mRNA vaccine could be rapidly deployed in response.
“At the end of the day we talked to Tony [Fauci] about something I’ve always been passionate about, which is outbreak and pandemic readiness because I knew the mRNA technology could go so fast,” Bancel said.
“And so I say one day we should mock up an outbreak where you guys send us by email a sequence of a virus you pick and we start the clock watch and we see how quickly we can give you GNP dose to get into the clinic.”
A rise in stories reporting the spread of avian flu in America is causing some to suspect the Federal government, under the aegis of the Democratic Party, is preparing to create a new plandemic ahead of the 2024 elections to help assure a DNC win over the Republicans and, specifically, Donald Trump.
One report, so far, of an alleged transmission of the avian flu from a farm animal to a human was reported by the CDC. Headlines in recent MSM media reveal an increased “promotion” of the bird flu as an existential threat narrative.
PSYOP-BIRD-FLU is now being trial ballooned for summer lockdowns:
The United Nations (UN) and their eugenics “health” node in the World Health Organization (WHO) are proverbially killing two birds with one stone by conflating another gain of function (GOF) scamdemic with “climate change” and the food supply…
Just like PSYOP-19 projections were egregiously faked into high death counts, so too is this PSYOP-BIRD-FLU being whipped up into some kind of black plague 2.0 event, except that the increasingly desperate technocrats may just roll the dice on a much higher Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) this time around.
H5N1 bird flu is widespread in wild birds worldwide and is causing outbreaks in poultry and U.S. dairy cows with one recent human case in a U.S. dairy worker.
While the current public health risk is low, CDC is watching the situation carefully and working with states to monitor people with animal exposures.
CDC is using its flu surveillance systems to monitor for H5N1 activity in people.
The Journal of Urology published a study that reveals men who receive “gender affirming surgery” to look more than women are not any less likely to attempt to commit suicide than men who, like them, identify as a woman but don’t get the transition surgery.
That surgery includes a process called vaginoplasty, which turns the man’s penis into an open wound where the penis once was that can never fully heal and requires forced “opening” for the rest of the man’s life. This particular process produces a higher suicide attempt rate than non-treatment, with 3.3% attempting suicide after this procedure while 1.5% do before the surgery.
A study published in The Journal of Urology indicated that the attempted-suicide rate among transgender women, so men, was twice as high after those “women” received a vaginoplasty than before. That’s right, it appears that surgically harming yourself doesn’t solve depression.
Journalist Benjamin Ryan tweeted about the study on Monday and pointed out how gender-transition treatment isn’t life saving. Though the study is from 2021, this is the first many of us have heard about it, likely because it’s results point out the fact that these treatments are the opposite of “care.”
Researchers analyzed data on 868 people who got their penis turned into a “vagina.” I placed air quotes around that word because the only one who can actually make a vagina is God. Nonetheless, the study also looked at 357 people who did the reverse and got their vagina turned into a “penis.”
A member of the team headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci to decide how to handle the then-impending threat posed by Covid-19 responded to Fauci’s suggestions of recommending vaccine mandates that such a move would NOT protect Americans but WOULD undermine trust Americans will have for their institutions going forward.
Dr. Matthew Memoli, an epidemiologist, wrote to Fauci, “At best what we are doing with mandated mass vaccination does nothing and the variants emerge evading immunity anyway as they would have without the vaccine. At worst it drives evolution of the virus in a way that is different from nature and possibly detrimental, prolonging the pandemic or causing more morbidity and mortality than it should.”
… Memoli also raised concerns regarding the bioethical aspects of the mandates, referring to issues such as the vaccines’ diminished protection over time, potential severe health risks, and the undifferentiated spread rate between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. During a debate at an NIH event, Memoli acknowledged the necessity of vaccine mandates but questioned their justification in the case of COVID-19 vaccines, given their transitory effectiveness.
A number of recent studies have proved that the COVID-19 vaccines caused several serious medical side effects, some of which are lethal.

A number of recent studies have proved that the COVID-19 vaccines caused several serious medical side effects, some of which are lethal.
Researchers from Paris University in France have discovered that an ancient Indian medical practice called Ayurvedic might have some science behind it after all. Gold nanoparticles, also called gold bhasma, have been found to not only heal worn-out skin but can also reverse the aging process.
As for the potential negative side effects, the researchers claim there is none, saying“these are not – toxic, not phototoxic, not genotoxic, non-irritant and non-sensitizing according to OECD guidelines.”
Dr. Vicky Jenkins, a South African citizen, has been a zealous proponent of the Covid-19 vaccine, supporting vaccine mandates and shaming anyone that rejects her beliefs.
That doctor has suddenly died at the age of 43 from an apparent heart attack. She is most well-known for claiming that posting any concerns about the vaccine on social media should be considered “deadly” and “disinformation,” which should be dealt with by the government.
… While there has been no official explanation of why a young doctor would drop dead suddenly, many have been pointing to her past social media posts as an indication of what led to her heart attack.
Jennings often posted pro-vaccine propaganda that urged people to take Covid mRNA injections.
According to Jennings, raising concerns about the safety of the shots is “deadly” and considered “disinformation.”
Canadian business journalist Ian Vandaelle died suddenly at the age of 33, which might not be newsworthy in and of itself if he wasn’t a Covid-19 vaccine mandate advocate who called for people who refused to get the vaccine to be arrested and imprisoned in what amounts to anti-vax concentration camps. While the cause of his death was not given, many assume he may have died from all the vaccine and booster shots he received.
… One ultra-left extremist was so sure what he believed was the gospel that he wanted unvaccinated people arrested and put away in concentration camps. Ian Vandaelle was a Canadian business journalist who worked as a reporter and editor at the Financial Post. Before that, he was a producer at BNN Bloomberg for over a decade.
However, during the “plandemic,” he called for vaccine passports and mandates in posts on social media. He even called for the firing of anyone who refused the injections. In one social media post he stated:
I, for one, advocate we bring the carrot and the stick. Incentivize getting the vaccine however we like, ice cream, lotteries, literally whatever, I don’t care, and require vaccination to do non-essential things.
Wanna go to a bar to watch the game? Passport.
I, for one, advocate we bring the carrot *and* the stick. Incentivize getting the vaccine however we like – ice cream, lotteries, literally whatever, I don’t care – and require vaccination to do, uh, non-essential things. Wanna go to a bar to watch the game? Passport. https://t.co/0vav22CaPk
While the connection between the mRNA Covid-19 vaccine and cancer has not been officially declared, data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggests a connection might exist.
The data shows that cases of fatal cancer among Americans who have received the mRNA Covid-19 vaccines are 143.233 percent more likely to get a fatal case of cancer than those who did not receive the vaccine.
According to VAERS data analyzed by The Exposé, the number of cancer cases spikes dramatically among those vaccinated with the shots.
In the report, the outlet performed a quick search of the CDC VAERS database on the number of cancer cases reported as adverse reactions to the Covid injections since they were first rolled out in the United States.
This reveals that from December 2020 up to 5th August 2022, a total of 2,579 adverse events related to cancer were made in just 1 year and 8 months.
Again, this does not confirm the connection, but it gives compelling evidence to make that connection, compelling enough that honest, transparent studies need to be conducted to follow up on this potential risk.
