‘Everyone Knows What’s Going On’: Whistleblower Tells Tucker Carlson Doctors ‘Feel Trapped’

Whistleblower Calley Means, a former lobbyist, told Tucker Carlson that doctors “feel trapped” by Big Pharma in an interview released Friday.

Carlson had asked Means how he would use political power to address the medical industry. Means argued that they would need to use “executive orders” and attack “incentives,” giving specific examples. Carlson then questioned why people did not “opt out” of the system.

“I’ve got a dark stat for you,” Means began.

He then told Carlson that American doctors have the “highest” burnout and suicide rate among all professions — which he claimed was not a result of working too hard. Means compared doctors to soldiers taking orders from higher authorities to commit “war crimes,” citing an article from The New York Times. In the article, the writer suggests a theory that medical professionals are suffering from “moral injury” due to alleged aspects of work that were “ethically compromising.”

“They actually had a New York Times article recently that identified what doctors are feeling, towards soldiers. It’s the same psychological dynamic that soldiers who get in the fight for the right reasons, but then are forced by their superiors to commit war crimes,” Means told the host.
