English | ASIN: B0BPF5PF6V | 2023 | 9 hours and 4 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 267 MB
Author: James Tabery
Narrator: George Newbern

A revelatory account of how power, politics, and greed have placed the unfulfilled promise of personalized medicine at the center of American medicine. The United States is embarking on a medical revolution. Supporters of personalized, or precision, medicine-the tailoring of health care to our genomes-have promised to usher in a new era of miracle cures. Advocates of this gene-guided health-care practice foresee a future where skyrocketing costs can be curbed by customization and unjust disparities are vanquished by biomedical breakthroughs. Progress, however, has come slowly, and with a price too high for the average citizen. In Tyranny of the Gene, James Tabery exposes the origin story of personalized medicine-essentially a marketing idea dreamed up by pharmaceutical executives-and traces its path from the Human Genome Project to the present, revealing how politicians, influential federal scientists, biotech companies, and drug giants all rallied behind the genetic hype.

Author: Pierre Kory
Narrator: Troy Wolfe

Big Pharma and health agencies cry "Don’t take ivermectin!" A media storm follows. Why then, does the science say the opposite? Ivermectin is a dirty word in the media. The drug has been derided and declared useless. Doctors have earnestly recorded pleas asking those afflicted with COVID-19 not to take the drug. But why? The War on Ivermectin is the personal and professional narrative of Dr. Pierre Kory, the co-founder of an expert group of physicians, and his plight to alert the world of his group’s identification of ivermectin as a highly effective, life-saving, widely available generic medicine with an obvious ability to end the global pandemic. In this book, Dr. Kory details all the personal attacks, professional setbacks, and concerted, corrupt, and highly effective actions that influenced the world’s major health agencies and medical journals to dismiss and deny its efficacy. Dr. Kory also relates firsthand the catastrophic impacts of mass media censorship and relentless mass media propaganda that he witnessed against ivermectin and his organization’s ability to help save lives.
