The "Liberty" boys, tried to coup FDR, followed by backing Senator Joe McCarthy's Commie chasers, followed by John Birchers, followed by Heritage foundation followed by the Republican political party.

You will be shocked to read some of the things that come out of the mouths of doctors who are his colleagues, I know I said to myself "these people have always been the same, many do not care to cure, they care to make the money". I know not all doctors are that way, I have friends who are doctors and I see both sides, some of them are very dedicated and some are just there for the money.

There is also about a pandemic in the book, which I found very interesting as well.
