The "Midwestern Doctor" shares his approach to finding the truth. He says if you have a need to covet your pet theory, you may be blinded by that need and lose clarity of analysis.
"Once COVID-19 began in China in 2019, it was clear to me that the pandemic had the potential to turn into a global disaster (something that I had never felt at any previous time in my lifetime). More importantly, how it was handled was very unusual (e.g., the entire media denied any issue existed and gaslighted anyone who believed one did). This led me to conclude a decision had been made to allow it to become a global disaster."
April 7. Today is the day Donald Trump has threatened to destroy Iran’s bridges and power plants, which could lead to the deaths of millions, if the Iranians do not “Open the F---- Strait [of Hormuz].” Israel may join the assault by attacking the country’s train lines this afternoon.
An attack on Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power station raises a Chernobyl-like radiation cloud possibility, sending death slowly over the Gulf region, making some countries uninhabitable for decades and poisoning the water in the Persian Gulf. This would shut down many of the desalination plants which produce most of the region’s drinking water.

This week, the US President gave an apparently delusional update of the Iran conflict. Iran's military is decimated, and it's President is asking for a cease fire, he reported.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman immediately rejected that. State broadcaster IRIB quoted Esmail Baghaei as saying Trump's statements were false and unfounded.
Trump attributed the request for a ceasefire to Iran's "New Regime President."
On the same day, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian criticized the US war against his country in an open letter to the people of the United States on Wednesday, calling it an absurd operation that is costly for their nation.
Within hours of Mr. Trump's analysis of a destroyed Iranian military, Iran fired more missiles at Israel and Gulf Arab states, demonstrating Tehran’s continued ability to attack even as US President Donald Trump claimed the threat from the country was nearly eliminated and predicted the war would end soon.
