A new California law places even more power in the hands of bureaucrats to determine acceptable medical treatments and advice. It’s Assembly Bill 2098 authorizing the Medical Board of California to pursue professional sanctions and even license revocation against doctors who share information about COVID-19 that challenges the “scientific consensus.” Informed Dissent’s Mark McDonald and Jeff Barke have fought to reopen schools, provide early treatments for COVID-19, and help children and adults manage stress and uncertainty. Now, our two doctors are fighting for their right—and the right of all California physicians—to provide the best care possible to their patients.

There once was a forest that covered a valley that stretched all the way from the mountains to the sea. The Forest was a special place, being described by those who knew it as tranquil and safe; those who knew the Forest well described it as majestic and wise. But words were inadequate to describe the Forest, since the only way to know the Forest was to experience the Forest. There was an old saying, that a day in the Forest would clear the mind of stress, a week would relieve the body of pain, a month would free the heart of its sorrow, and a year would heal the soul of its burdens. This is what the Forest did. All was perfect. All was in Balance. Then came Bill Goats with his mountain goat minions. Bill Goats did not respect the Balance. He wanted to control life. He wanted to be God. On this episode of Informed Dissent Dr. Mark McDonald helps you discover the dark side of Norway, meet a Norwegian Dissident, and learn all about the children’s book “Bill Goats and the Forest”.  Frode Klevstul adds more to your very own Informed Dissent.

 “After the United States of Fear, there is a new sheriff in town—Dr. Mark McDonald who is going straight after the problem itself—fear. As if he has walked into a saloon, but instead of a row of drunks, all the patrons are addicted to fear and huddled together, joyless, and pensive. Using well-constructed brief narratives of prototypical vignettes, McDonald throws a lasso around the problem of fear addiction fueled by others who are in the same grip and constructively navigates our return into the real world. First up on the list of perps is the “dealer” at the table of fear—the media. Turning off the constant fl ow of fear-porn and propaganda allows us to begin to think for ourselves and recognize the harm fear can do in our lives. Breaking this bondage is liberating, allowing us to care for others in earnest, including their wellbeing with personal decisions such as vaccination. McDonald shoots bullets of truth around humor and shows us how to be bold, relentless, and fearless in our pursuit to restore normalcy. With McDonald’s practical approach, we can leave the United States of Fear and restore our country that was founded by some of the most intrepid […]

Episode #91. The Federal Bureau of Intimidation executes a raid on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago just days after he hinted at a run for the office of U.S. President at a CPAC gathering. In an unprecedented move an agency of the Federal Government is raiding the home of a possible political opponent and steadfast critic of the current ruling party. The scenario is one seen all over the world. The big difference is the class of government where these things happen is usually totalitarian. Is this new, legitimate, or just another in a series of the progressive mutation of socialism (or worse) in the United States.
