Commentary by<\/em><\/span> Joe Schaeffer <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a> @Schaeff55 <\/a><\/p>\n

An Alabama physician who reached the heights of ruling establishment favor during the heyday of the coronavirus hysteria with an exceedingly far-fetched tale of young unvaxxed Americans tearfully regretting not getting jabbed just before they died in her presence is making her next Big Pharma rounds: pushing \u201clong-term\u201d prescription drugs to combat the \u201cdisease\u201d of obesity.<\/p>\n

Here are the opening two paragraphs of the lurid July 21, 2021 Al.com report<\/a> that garnered the doctor major national big-box media attention:<\/p>\n

Dr. Brytney Cobia said [July 19] that all but one of her COVID patients in Alabama did not receive the vaccine. The vaccinated patient, she said, just needed a little oxygen and is expected to fully recover. Some of the others are dying.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m admitting young healthy people to the hospital with very serious COVID infections,\u201d wrote Cobia, a hospitalist at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, in an emotional Facebook post [July 18]. \u201cOne of the last things they do before they\u2019re intubated is beg me for the vaccine. I hold their hand and tell them that I\u2019m sorry, but it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Cobia\u2019s Facebook post<\/a> reads more like overwrought soap opera cheese than reality:<\/p>\n

A few days later when I call time of death<\/strong>, I hug their family members<\/strong> and I tell them the best way to honor their loved one is to go get vaccinated and encourage everyone they know to do the same<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

They cry. And they tell me they didn’t know. They thought it was a hoax<\/strong>. They thought it was political. They thought because they had a certain blood type or a certain skin color they wouldn’t get as sick. They thought it was ‘just the flu’.<\/em><\/p>\n

But they were wrong. And they wish they could go back. But they can’t<\/strong>. So they thank me and they go get the vaccine. And I go back to my office, write their death note, and say a small prayer that this loss will save more lives.<\/em><\/p>\n

Despite the obvious high school creative writing nature of this purple prose, Cobia instantly became a 15-minute COVID medical star. Major networks scrambled<\/a> to amplify<\/a> her dramatic story. There was no serious attempt to confirm it. Emotion and fear were the two biggest weapons of the vaccine propagandists, and they were playing it to the hilt.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to today, and Brytney Cobia has a new angle to sell: Obesity is a genetic condition for many Americans, and they will need to be on weight-loss drugs \u201clong term\u201d if they want to survive. Yes, once again, it\u2019s Big Pharma or death in Dr. Cobia\u2019s world.<\/p>\n

In Jan. 2023, Cobia founded Vulcan Wellness & Aesthetics, a clinic dedicated to<\/a> \u201cphysician-managed medical weight loss, hormone therapy, and medical aesthetics including neurotoxin and dermal filler.\u201d<\/p>\n

Promoting the latest Big Pharma con that pharmaceutical drugs like Ozempic are an absolute necessity for obese Americans (as opposed to diet, exercise and other essential lifestyle changes) \u00a0is central<\/a> to Vulcan\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n

A Jan. 19, 2023 Facebook post by Vulcan reveals that from the very first month<\/a> of its existence, Dr. Cobia’s new medical business venture was making obesity drugs a key part of her business plan. Highlighted quote from the post:<\/p>\n

\u201cThey (GLP-1 drugs) are used to treat obesity as the chronic metabolic disease<\/strong> it is rather than perpetuating the misconception that obesity<\/strong> is a problem that can be overcome by willpower.<\/strong>\u201d \u2013 Yale Medical 6\/10\/22<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOur physicians will evaluate your individual needs and tailor a plan utilizing FDA-approved pharmacologic therapies to assist with your weight management goals,\u201d a Weight Management page<\/a> on the Vulcan website declares.<\/p>\n

They won\u2019t be doing it for free:<\/p>\n

Initial Assessment – $135<\/em><\/p>\n

Monthy Follow-Up Appointments – $55<\/em><\/p>\n

This past January, Cobia appeared on a podcast on \u201cUnderstanding Obesity Medicine\u201d and further revealed the full extent of her intense devotion to pharmaceutical solutions to an issue greatly determined by human behavior, both individual and societal.<\/p>\n

The BAMCAM podcast YouTube description reads:<\/p>\n

Jack Burnette and Alison Castellano speak with Dr. Brytney Cobia, obesity medicine specialist<\/strong> with Vulcan Wellness and Aesthetics, to shed some light on how GLP-1 drugs can help with weight loss and other advancements within obesity medicine.<\/em><\/p>\n
