The Medical Industry is a Cult | Silk and Steel

My name is Jerm, this is Jerm Warfare, the Battle of Ideas. It's been, I think, about a year, maybe a little bit more, Michael Bryant. Thank you for joining me again in The Trenches.

**Michael Bryant** (0:41)
Thanks, Jeremy.

**Jeremy** (0:43)
I love your work, and I remember chatting to you years ago already. I can't even remember what our first conversation was about, but one of the conversations you and I have had that has stuck with me, and has actually had a huge impact, is the Spanish flu discussion. I don't even remember that one. I know you've chatted about that many times, but it had such a big positive effect on me that it dramatically accelerated my views on germ theory as a whole.

**Michael Bryant** (1:14)
Yeah, thanks a lot.
That article was, I feel, one of the bigger and more in-depth treatments of the Spanish flu phenomena overall. And I would hope that anyone who would read that would just take away one thing and that is to question the official story of what the Spanish flu was or wasn't, and acknowledge that there are many other social conditions, and in this case, a very significant one, World War I, that are the primary causes of what we call disease.

Well, the segue also, I mean, we were just talking a moment ago about our kids being unvaccinated. I say our kids, my, I've got one boy, but I've got a second boy coming very soon, and both will be unvaccinated. And I know you don't mind me saying, but your two boys, who are adults now, are also unvaccinated, and they're fine, Michael. They haven't died.

**Michael Bryant** (2:15)
Well, that's the thing, isn't it? You know, you would think that if children were, they were unvaccinated children, based on the official story, that we have pounded into our heads in every single way, day in, day out, week in, week out, year in, year out, that these unvaccinated kids would just be dropping dead. But they aren't. And in fact, they're extraordinarily healthy.
And I will say, in my case, the decision was based on copious amounts of research. I didn't just come into this as some revolutionary saying, no, I'm not going to vaccinate, because I feel your authority is undeserved, even though it is.
I just was about to have a child in my life. And it just seemed odd to me that you would immediately begin injecting this child with some synthetic substances. So at that time, which was 25 years ago now, the research that one had to do, you had to just go into the libraries and get these magazines, articles, and so forth. And I did that, and I spent a lot of time on that. And I came to the conclusion that these were poisonous substances that really had no place being in the human body. And so, yes, the unvaccinated children, they're perfectly healthy.

**Jeremy** (3:44)
Now, I brought that up because there's a link to our conversation. I wrote a great piece called The Cult of Modern Medical Expertise. And I like the use of the word cult because I have found since the COVID era, Michael, talking about vaccines is a very strange experience. Even in our circles, people get very funny about the word vaccine. It's something that stirs up a weird kind of emotion, something that you would find in a cult.

**Michael Bryant** (4:15)
Yes, and it is something that's been programmed into people, just as you would find in a cult. And the vaccine is probably certainly one of the most lucrative medical products in the history of history. And therefore, you have this tremendous protection racket surrounding it.
And also, the vaccine has created an extraordinary amount of damage to humans. And so it's incumbent upon this cult to shield the public from this reality. And so there's this extraordinary vast mechanism that is in place to protect that racket and to shield the harms that have been caused by that product.

**Jeremy** (5:11)
The cult-like attachment is what fascinates me. It's psychological, because we can talk about antibiotics, and you don't get the same kind of visceral reaction.

**Michael Bryant** (5:22)
You know, I wonder how much of that too is, you know, the actual... Again, I haven't been through this process, but the actual process of...
If you're a parent, you bring your young child into the pediatrician's office, and then they get this injection, and you can see that it's a very difficult, painful, traumatic experience for the child, one. And then right after, you see, well, this product made my child sick. And isn't it a mind job that this medical industry has been able to convince people that they give this infant this product, the child gets ill immediately from this product, even if it's a minor illness initially. And they say that is a sign that it is working. No, it's a sign that your child is getting sick from this product. And so I wonder if the parents seeing this, then psychologically have to go into this space, which allows them to be brainwashed into thinking that, yes, indeed, this product is going to benefit my child in some way. And so then they gradually start to develop these, what I might call, quasi-religious beliefs in this product, rather than really looking at what's happening right in front of their eyes. Yeah, certainly you're injecting industrial poisons into your child. And if a parent were to be presented with, here are the ingredients of the product, or they were to do the research themselves and say, oh, I've discovered what the ingredients are in this product, and say, wait, that's not something that I want to be in my child.
