An FDA safety team found mRNA vaccines caused the deaths of children. Leaked emails recommend warning labels. But then the FDA official was replaced by a 22-year Merck veteran – and the myocarditis was covered up. @NaomiRWolf & @dr_ericberg are LIVE at 5ET

Peer reviewed these days is a form of fraud.

The argument that peer review operates as a circular logic loop—where pharmaceutical companies simply review and validate each other's work—highlights very real structural vulnerabilities in medical publishing. While the idealized concept of peer review is designed to provide independent, objective oversight, the massive scale of industry funding creates systemic conflicts of interest that can blur those boundaries.

A landmark study published in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) found that between 2020 and 2022, over half of all U.S. physician peer reviewers for major medical journals received financial payments from drug and medical device manufacturers, totaling over $1 billion. This reality complicates the traditional view of peer review, though the system itself is more complex than simple collusion.

Why the System Feels Like Circular Logic

The skepticism surrounding the relationship between industry and medical journals stems from several documented systemic weaknesses:

• Pervasive Industry Ties: Because the top experts in highly specialized medical fields often consult for, receive research grants from, or speak on behalf of pharmaceutical companies, the pool of qualified reviewers is heavily intertwined with the industry. A scientist working for Company A may very well be reviewing a competitor's drug from Company B.

• Opaque Reviewer Conflicts: While major journals require the authors of a study to disclose financial conflicts, historical standards for peer reviewers have been far less transparent. Most journals traditionally did not publicly disclose the financial ties or even the identities of the reviewers vetting the research.

• No Access to Raw Data: A significant limitation of peer review is that reviewers rarely get access to the actual raw patient data from a clinical trial. Instead, they review a summary manuscript provided by the authors, meaning they are evaluating how the data is presented rather than independently verifying its raw accuracy.

Pastor Ricardo Beas

Ricardo first wrote to me as a reader. Every message he sent made me think deeply: he knew a great deal about several subjects I care about, including but not limited to minerals, water, and vaccines, and he kept pushing me toward angles I hadn’t considered. We finally met at a fundraiser for The Highwire. He offered me a ride to my hotel; we got stuck in traffic, and we ended up having a long conversation.

His path into the vaccine debate was unusual. When I became publicly critical of the vaccines, I noticed that the movement was led overwhelmingly by women, fierce and determined mothers, most of them fighting because their own children had been injured (who I privately admired as “Momma Bears” protecting their and others’ cubs). Ricardo came in from the other direction. His children were never injured. He studied the evidence to protect them before anything happened, and he concluded the risks were too high. He sprang into action, one of the rare men to do so, as evidenced by the picture below (he is in the lower left corner).




When California removed its religious exemption in 2015, he moved his family to Arizona.

In his own words:

My involvement in the vaccine movement began in 2015, when California enacted SB 277 and removed religious exemptions to vaccination, and my research led me to conclude there was compelling evidence of vaccine injury. In response, I founded the Natural Law Church of Health and Healing (www.TheNaturalLawChurch.com), a church built on Christian principles that helps people seek religious exemptions from vaccination. I have raised these issues at every level of government, from local authorities to the U.S. Department of Justice and President Trump, and I share these efforts on my website. I also write on my Substack, ricardobeas.substack.com, about what I view as fraud within the medical industry and other topics of interest.
I opened the church officially in 2016, on the one-year anniversary of SB 277. Since then, it has gained many disciples from 48 states, some territories, and other parts of the world, like Canada and the UK.
If the Church’s principles (found here) reflect your own beliefs, which I can almost guarantee they do, you can join at https://thenaturallawchurch.com/become-a-disciple). In fact, I think it would be hard for anyone, once learning what this Church stands for, not to want to become a member, especially since it is free and refuses any donations (imagine that in this day and age). His church has been successful in all cases of religious exemptions from vaccines for work and school where the Pastor has been asked for assistance (which does not count those that were successful and never needed to ask him for additional assistance). The only exceptions were 2 occasions when the people involved first used other procedures, and when they were denied, they tried to use the church to obtain exemptions, which made their statements suspect to the employers.

I’d start with his most recent Substack post, his rebuttal to Dr. Malone’s calling the anti-vax movement a cult. Read it less for the rebuttal than for the history: it’s one of the better accounts I’ve read of how the modern vaccine-skeptic movement grew, from SB 277 to critical mass during COVID. ricardobeas.substack.com

The Grenon Family

Regular readers know I’ve written extensively about chlorine dioxide, Jim Humble, and his longtime partner Mark Grenon. In my book The War on Chlorine Dioxide, I argue that the federal prosecution of Mark and his sons, a missionary family arrested and extradited after distributing chlorine dioxide for free in early COVID, represents one of the most unjust and punitive prosecutions by our Federal government (two of Mark’s sons, Jonathan and Jordan, are still serving the 4th longest “contempt of court” sentences in U.S History, for the crime of.. not answering a demand letter from the FTC). Jonathan’s letter to me from prison is, in my opinion, one of the most powerfully moving posts I have ever written, an unparalleled example of alignment: courage, service, humility, love, and dependence on God when every worldly support has been stripped away.

Mark has now told the family’s side of the story in a film. Part One of Mark’s movie called Silenced: A Missionary Family Saga is out on Rumble, link below, Part 2 is about a month away.

If you’d rather read, his latest book collects his clinical experience with chlorine dioxide as well as insights into many aspects of health and the world ruled by Pharma. Purchase here. Also in eBook form here.
