If our government was working for us, if our government cared about this, there would be a Manhattan Project where the greatest minds would come together and put out a position paper that would document how this went wrong, and what we’re going to do about it.” — Dr. David Brownstein


pounds that never existed before they were created in a lab. Their impact on human development? No one knows. What is clear, however, is that in the words of longtime holistic medicine practitioner Dr. David Brownstein, “Our country is sick right now.” Indeed, a perfect storm is pummeling main-


stream medicine. Frustration with lockdowns during the coronavirus pandemic, along with the unreliable “science” served up for public consump- tion, has only made matters worse. That sad legacy: People were told masks didn’t


work, then suddenly were required to wear them. They were told that any suggestion the virus may have escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China, was a conspiracy theory. Many experts now believe it’s probably true. And in 2021, Dr. Anthony Fauci assured Con-


gress the National Institutes of Health never funded gain-of-function research on viruses at the Wuhan lab. Yet the subsequent leak of a 2020 email showed that Fauci not only described that NIH-funded work as “gain of function,” but also considered the lab leak theory to be quite plausible. That one-two punch of regulatory obfuscation during a pandemic, plus spiraling chronic disease, may account for why public trust in healthcare institutions appears to be suffer- ing a meltdown. According to the Journal of the American


Medical Association (JAMA), between April 2020 and January 2024, trust in physicians and hospitals dropped off the table — col- lapsing from 71.5% to 40.1% in four years. Which metric is plummeting faster,


America’s health or its healthcare agencies’ credibility, is an open question. What is evi- dent, however, is that the sudden downturn in wellness has become a national defense concern. To be blunt, it’s no longer clear


Americans are healthy enough to defend their own country. In 2017, a Pentagon study delivered the shocking


news: Fully 71% of young Americans were too unfit physically or mentally to qualify for military service. The obvious concern: What if America couldn’t find enough healthy young soldiers to fight its foreign wars? Alarmed by that result, the Pentagon repeated


the study five years later and found matters were even worse — by 2022, 77% of young Americans were too sick to serve. “If our government was working for us, if our gov- ernment cared about this,” Brownstein says, “there would be a Manhattan Project where the greatest minds would come together and put out a position paper that would document how this went wrong, and what we’re going to do about it.” Unless things change soon, Brownstein and oth-


ers warn, it may be too late to resuscitate Uncle Sam. “The new generation won’t be able to do it be-


cause they’re going to be too sick,” Brownstein says. “And basically, we’re not going to be able to pay for it. We’re already struggling to pay 20% of our GNP on healthcare costs that aren’t healthcare. They’re ‘sick care’ costs — because we’re so sick.”
