Nearly one in four workers require a government-issued license to do their job.

License defined: permission granted by an authority (as of a government or a business) to do some act or transaction which would be unlawful without such permission.

A 2022 Institute of Justice study identified more than 2,700 licenses across the 50 states and the District of Columbia. A review of occupational licenses found that, for lower and moderate income occupations – hair stylists, massage therapists, preschool teachers – licensing was overly burdensome and irrational. The license benefits providers more than consumers. Since 2016, The Wisconsin Institute for Justice reports:

Onerous occupational licensing laws that force people to undergo thousands of hours of often redundant and gratuitous training to perform jobs like auctioneering, tree trimming, and hair styling. …licensing laws are the result of higher-skilled professionals seeking to protect their market share at the consumers’ expense.

The good news since 2017 is states have eliminated more licenses than they have created.

The Medical License Landscape

Between 1875 and 1900, conventional medicine began passing license laws that granted national associations, such as The American Medical Association, (AMA), the right to oversee and regulate the practice of medicine, as well as collect heavy license fees. Government agencies, such as the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), do not apply regulations to treatment regimens or practices, only to products.

Conventional medicine is a for-profit global industry. In 2021, the top 3 drug companies: Novartis, Pfizer and J&J made, $24 billion, $22 billion, and $21 billion, respectively. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is supposed to oversee the National Vaccine Program. But who is overseeing the DHHS when it withholds vaccine injury data as it rolls out its Vaccine Confidence Plan?

With disease rates rising over the last century, COVID vaccine injury claims rising, and the 2023 journal Lancet showing death rates rising after COVID shots, many professionals from diverse fields are pleading to go back to traditional medicine used by indigenous medicine physicians.

Meanwhile, The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the FDA, both, recommend the shots for babies and anyone over six months old. The FDA also recommends COVID shots for pregnant women – even though The World Health Organization issued a Jan. 26, 2021 statement recommending that pregnant women should not be vaccinated with Moderna’s COVID-19 mRNA vaccine citing a lack of data in pregnancy.
