“An ethical force of independence and objectivity”

Launch of new independent medical journal

(21 June 2024) (sv) In a press release dated 5 June 2024, the doctors of the FLCCC Alliance (Front Line Covid19 Critical Care Alliance)* announced the founding of a new medical journal. They are thus drawing the consequences from bitter experiences during the Covid pandemic: their tireless, scientifically based commitment to the efficient treatment of Covid patients with already known, inexpensive drugs was massively opposed by the WHO and the pharmaceutical industry. Dr Pierre Kory illustrates this battle in his book “The war on Ivermectin.”¹ – The new scientific journal provides helpful guidance for laypeople and healthcare professionals with regard to further pandemics.
