… and how I realised we don’t even need the Hippocratic Oath

Apologies for not posting for the last week. I and the team took a couple of days off to recharge after the marathon run of getting ready for, and running, the Better Way Conference. Maybe you were there and we met – maybe you tuned in online, or maybe this is the first time you heard about it.

Either way, I wish I could bottle the essence of the entire event and share it with you – because I would say it was and is the best medicine I know of to heal body, mind and spirit. If you are someone who has felt isolated within your community, as the only person you know questioning the narrative, let me tell you now, there are thousands of us at your back and to each side of you, holding the line for truth and a better way.

Hundreds of people attended the conference in person, and thousands more tuned in online, discovering that they were in fact part of a historic and powerful grassroots movement. From beginning to end, the Better Way Conference was enlightening, moving, challenging, invigorating and overbrimming with hope, humanity and love. You could feel the love – even those tuning online commented they could feel it.

In the foyer above the conference hall, people of all ages and all walks of life shared hugs and conversations with their heroes – from Dr Geert van den Bossche and Dr Robert Malone to Drs Ryan Cole and Alexandra Henrion Caude. Critics may attempt to dismiss this event as an echo chamber – or, as Vice magazine put it, ‘the Davos of COVID conspiracy theorists’. But there were differing views that inspired energetic debates, varying opinions on how to move forward – and all of us basked in that rarest of phenomena in the modern age: respectful disagreement and constructive conversation.
