There is a saying among people in medical school that when you're learning about what to do in an emergency situation, before you take the pulse of the person you see laying still, take your own pulse. The meaning of this saying was not to freak out, but to try to...

There's a palpable chill in the air in Washington this week, and I'm not talking about the weather.I'm talking about the icy forecast of our country's fiscal stability and the possibility that Republicans could be complicit in creating such treacherous conditions.For...

Saudi Arabia's air and naval blockade of Yemen is an abomination. For years now, ships that would otherwise carry food, fuel, and medicine are turned away by the Saudi-led coalition, depriving the Yemeni people of the necessities to sustain civilization. Saudi...

Dr. Fauci says that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) did not fund 'gain-of-function' research in Wuhan and even if they did, the newly created superviruses are genetically too dissimilar to COVID to have caused the pandemic.  The leftwing media allows this...

Lately, you might have noticed an increase in prices at the gas pump, the grocery store, and pretty much everything else you can buy. The shelves at stores are empty, employers can't find workers to fill positions, and Americans everywhere are bracing for higher...

Any rational person would think arbitrarily preventing those sick with COVID-19 from receiving potentially life-saving treatment is immoral. But that's exactly what is happening to many patients who are seriously ill with COVID-19.Mandates that lack nuance or...

For quite a while now, I've publicly praised the benefits of intravenous monoclonal antibodies and urged Kentuckians and Americans to be aware of this remarkable and effective treatment.Monoclonal antibodies are one of the most promising treatments for the virus once...

The Enquirer joins a long list of uninformed media, inaccurately reporting both what I said and the facts about therapeutics during our battle with COVID-19. Let's start with a few things I've said over and over again but bear repeating because if I don't, the media...
