"For many of us, COVID was an eye-opener. The shameful censorship of discussion and debate among accomplished doctors by America's healthcare agencies cost many lives. This must never happen again." – Dr. Joseph Varon
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) announced today that the group is changing its name to the Independent Medical Alliance (IMA) as the nation prepares for the coming Kennedy nomination debates.
"We're about to have an unprecedented national discussion about America's broken healthcare system," said Dr. Joseph Varon, President and Chief Medical Officer of the Independent Medical Alliance. "For many of us, COVID was an eye-opener. I was on the front lines fighting to save lives. The shameful censorship of discussion and debate among accomplished doctors by America's healthcare agencies cost many lives. This must never happen again."
Representing over 15,000 doctors and other medical professionals, the FLCCC vaulted to national prominence by pushing back against vaccine mandates and other government induced COVID policy failures, while also advocating for early and cost-effective alternative treatments, including ivermectin, which has proven to be highly effective against COVID.
"They demonized accomplished virologists and others who knew that ivermectin was saving lives," continued Varon. "Hundreds of thousands died due to the censorship of debate. At our hospital, we considered alternatives, and our published mortality rate was 4.4% while major hospitals at the time were experiencing 23% to 26% rates of ICU death."
"Our success raised interest among those at FDA and CDC, but not the way one would expect. They sent scores of briefcase wielding bureaucrats to try and shut down our treatment programs. We were outside of the PhRMA profit orthodoxy. We were non-conformists. And although we were saving more lives, that didn't appear to be the priority."
"The Kennedy confirmations will be about restoring health to America's healthcare systems, and we're looking forward to that discussion," concluded Varon.
