(Daily Signal)—From President Joe Biden to the former head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to your local physician, those in authority repeated the mantra that COVID-19 vaccines were “safe and effective.”
However, Dr. Pierre Kory, a pulmonary critical care physician and the head of a team of medical professionals who develop prevention and treatment protocols for COVID-19, begged to differ. Appearing on “The Tucker Carlson Encounter” on X, Kory said the data didn’t support such a statement but actually supports the opposite conclusion.
Kory is president of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, an organization started by five intensive care unit doctors who were on the front lines of patient treatment when the coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. He gained national attention for advocating widespread off-label use of certain drugs such as ivermectin as treatments for COVID-19.
Kory told Carlson that excess fatalities and disability claims started to skyrocket when people started taking the COVID-19 vaccines. He said data showing a dramatic increase in deaths among young people and white-collar workers drew him to ask these questions: “Why was there an explosion in dying in the youngest and healthiest sectors of society, and why did the employed fare far worse than those that weren’t?”
Americans’ life expectancy dropped by three years during the three years of the pandemic, he said, and in those same three years, 4 million Americans joined the disability rolls.
Since the pandemic, Kory said he has seen more people coming into his clinic complaining about a whole series of problems they developed after taking the vaccines.
He said that what we call “long COVID” doesn’t seem to be a result of COVID-19 at all because his patients’ long COVID symptoms began after they got their vaccinations, not after they contracted the disease.
The media, government officials, and medical societies have worked to suppress information that was counter to the message that vaccines were safe and effective, Kory said.
Kory told Carlson that the pharmaceutical industry influences the major medical journals to print pieces that are favorable to pharmaceuticals. When doctors read the articles in those journals, he said, they often treat them as gospel truth.
He personally saw that studies that went against the “vaccine agenda” didn’t get published in major journals, Kory said, while studies that favored the vaccines and tried to debunk alternatives were the ones that got published. According to Kory, those studies favorable to vaccines were heavily manipulated and not based in science.
The critical care physician told Carlson that the media and medical professionals attacked him for promoting ivermectin as a successful treatment for COVID-19 patients in his own practice. The drug had been used safely around the world for years but was suddenly considered dangerous when doctors wanted to use it to fight coronavirus infections.
With ivermectin, Kory said his organization was “fighting a war, a global disinformation campaign, trying to destroy early effective treatment drugs [like ivermectin] in order to prop up this vaccine campaign.”

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
