Big Tech’s Effort to Silence Truth-tellers: Global Research Online Referral Campaign
***
New York – Albert Einstein College of Medicine MD/PhD student – 33 year old Ricardo Perez Dulzaides died suddenly in early November 2021 from a pulmonary embolism and cardiac arrest (GoFundMe).
Remembering Ricardo Perez Dulzaides
Einstein is deeply saddened by the unexpected illness and death of our M.D./ Ph.D. student Ricardo Perez Dulzaides. Ricardo died of complications following a pulmonary embolism and cardiac arrest. He was just 33 years old.
Few people in Einstein’s Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) have followed a path similar to Ricardo. Through adversity, Ricardo developed the resilience and resourcefulness to build many opportunities for himself—always seeking to improve his life and that of his family.
Born in Cuba, at age 9 he immigrated to the United States with his parents and younger brother. A close-knit family, they settled in Miami.
Initially they lived in a garage until they had accumulated sufficient money to move to a house. Ricardo’s maternal grandparents followed them to Miami a few years later and lived with Ricardo’s family.
Hard-Working Go-Getter
Ricardo had an entrepreneurial spirit and a strong determination to succeed. In high school, he expanded a landscaping business that he started with the help of his father and worked in the local supermarket to help support his family.
After high school, he entered Miami Dade Community College. However, Ricardo was forced to prioritize work to help support his family when his mother lost her job during the 2008 financial crisis. After a year at Miami Dade, he took a leave of absence, sold the landscaping business, and started working as a long-haul truck driver.

Eventually he became an owner-operator, responsible for finding and negotiating loads on a route from Miami to California to New York and back to Miami. It was this experience that kindled Ricardo’s interest in health and medicine. As he noted in his MSTP application:
“Being on the road constantly created poor eating and sleeping habits that were psychologically and physically taxing. Most of my coworkers were unhealthy: being morbidly obese, sitting for long periods as they drove cross country, and feeling unhappy with their lives. In truck stop magazines and online searches, I often found articles that confirmed that the risk of chronic illness increases for drivers. Seeing these conditions first hand, I felt bad for my fellow drivers, and this kept nagging at me: something needed to be done. I became interested in a career in health care because of a desire to help my fellow truck drivers deal, to serve them by translating knowledge to improve their health.”
Focused on Helping Others
After three years as a truck driver, Ricardo was able to return to school full-time. He completed an associate of arts degree at Miami Dade Community College and then entered Florida International University (FIU) where he double majored in chemistry and biology, and graduated summa cum laude and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
At FIU, Ricardo sought out opportunities to expand his horizons. He was introduced to scientific research through the NIH-supported MARC U*STAR program. His Honors thesis research in the laboratory of Dr. Laura Serbus earned him co-authorship on a paper. Following graduation, Ricardo joined the Doctorate Development Program at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. He worked in the laboratory of Dr. Arturo Casadevall, chair of molecular microbiology & immunology, and former chair of microbiology & immunology at Einstein.
Promising Future Physician-Scientist
In June 2018, Ricardo entered the Einstein MSTP. In preclinical course work, he discovered his passion for clinical investigation because he wanted the outcome of his work to connect directly to improving people’s lives. He chose to do his Ph.D. thesis research with Drs. Qibin Qi and Robert Kaplan in the Ph.D. in Clinical Investigation track.

Ricardo devised a clever way to study whether meal timing might influence health by altering the composition of the human gut microbiome. He reanalyzed detailed food intake data from over 16,000 community volunteers in the NIH Study of Latinos cohort. By dissecting eating patterns reported by study participants, he sought to understand how dietary habits might influence one’s risk of metabolic disease.
He made rapid progress over just a few months of hard work, absorbing all the literature he could find on the topic and delighting his colleagues with his ideas, enthusiasm, and curiosity. Ricardo also was awarded support through an Einstein Aging Research Training Grant (T32) this summer. Through this funding, he was testing the hypothesis that earlier mealtimes may yield favorable metabolic changes and beneficial effects on healthy aging partially through the human gut microbiota and its related metabolites.
“Ricardo had a tremendous zest for life,” said Myles Akabas, Einstein’s MSTP director. “He was curious about the world and the people around him. He had a deep love for his friends and family. He loved to regale people with stories about his adventures and described them with unbridled enthusiasm. He was proud of his accomplishments and of being a member of the Einstein MSTP.”
He added, “We, in turn, were incredibly proud to have Ricardo as a member of the MSTP and the Einstein community. His wonderful spirit, enthusiasm, and the joy he brought to people will be missed by everyone who knew and loved him.”
Ricardo also had a strong commitment to increasing diversity and helping those coming up the ladder behind him. He possessed a warm, outgoing personality and a loyalty and love for those close to him. While things did not always work out as Ricardo had planned, he had the grit, determination, creativity, and perseverance to rise to the challenges and flourish.
Ricardo summarized his life experience and career goals in his MSTP application:
“My experiences in the laboratory have taught me to embrace every challenge as an opportunity to push the limits of our knowledge and elevate the status quo. My clinical exposure has instilled in me a deep respect for patients who constantly relativize what is truly important in life. Finally, my time volunteering and serving the community is a constant reminder that I did not get here alone and I am now in a position to give back. I can still remember a time when I was hauling refrigerated chicken cross-country for a living. Grounded in these experiences, I am determined to overcome the challenges that lie ahead and to dedicate my life to upholding the Hippocratic Oath.”
Ricardo’s life was cut short unexpectedly and tragically. We will miss his warm smile, good humor, keen intellect, and his unique, positive perspective on life.
May his memory be a blessing and an inspiration for us all.

My Take…
I reflect on Ricardo’s final Twitter post: “12 people are responsible for up to 65% of anti-vaccine content”. It’s the last thing he would post on Twitter before dying suddenly from pulmonary embolism & cardiac arrest, some of the most common COVID-19 Vaccine adverse events.
This morning I did an over 1 hour interview with the wonderful Dr.Sherri Tenpenny on Turbo Cancers, and then I did some reading on Twitter, catching posts by the incredible Erin Elizabeth, as well as Ben Tapper and RFK Jr. I love Erin Elizabeth’s work on Twitter, she’s one of my favourite follows.
Come to think of it, that’s 4 of the 12, responsible for 21% of the world’s “anti-vaccine content”. Looks like I hit the “anti-vaccine” motherload today and didn’t even know it!
In reality, Ricardo was murdered by the COVID-19 Cartel, that falsely smeared and defamed those 12 individuals.
How did Ricardo fall for the COVID-19 propaganda that ultimately killed him?
Ricardo fled Communist Cuba when he was 9 years old.
I fled Communist Czechoslovakia when I was 9 years old.
Ricardo completed an associate of arts degree at Miami Dade Community College (2011-2013) and then entered Florida International University (FIU) where he double majored in chemistry and biology (2013-2016). He then did a Doctoral Diversity Program at Johns Hopkins 2016-2018 and entered into MD/PhD Program in 2018.
So his undergraduate schooling was from 2011 to 2018.
My undergraduate schooling at University of Toronto was from 1997 to 2001.
In terms of our University education, we are one entire generation apart, even though at start of the pandemic in early 2020, he was 32 and I was 40. Not that big of an age gap.
Leftism/Wokeism
Ricardo shows up on Twitter on Jan.24, 2021 already heavily brainwashed regarding the 2020 election and January 6 nonsense. He believes the mainstream media. He reposts AOC. He talks about 2020 election “disinformation”.
His Twitter bio features him wearing a mask, leftist divisive identity politics focus on race & gender, and even the following extremely ironic “health/political literacy over disinformation”.
His Facebook Profile features him wearing another mask and holding his vaccine card. This profile remains after his death.
Conclusion
Ricardo and myself were only 8 years apart, both immigrants who fled a Communist regime.
We both worked extremely hard to find success, however, I finished my undergraduate schooling in 2001, while he finished his in 2018.
While I experienced some leftist ideology at University of Toronto and leaned just left of centre during my days there, Ricardo was literally bathed and drowned in far left and woke ideology and for a much longer period of time (7 years).
I was never exposed to the type of extreme far left and woke ideology in University, he was.
Once the pandemic hit, he was completely brainwashed, unable to think critically and think for himself. He virtue signaled with pictures of himself wearing masks, holding vaccine cards and mocking “anti-vaccine content”.
And then he died suddenly, almost certainly from COVID-19 Vaccine injuries.
If a Cuban immigrant who fled Communism, couldn’t see through the evils of leftism and woke-ism, and fell for every propaganda trick of the left and its controlled media, should we be surprised that other medical students never stood a chance?
They are coming out of medical schools and residency programs brain dead.
And the medical establishment is leading them straight off a cliff. This may be the first time in history that a profession murders its own students, its own apprentices, in the pursuit of a greater agenda. Ricardo never saw it coming.
“Health/political literacy over disinformation” is what he saw himself practicing, but in reality, he fell completely for disinformation and it cost him his life.

The Worldwide Corona Crisis, Global Coup d’Etat Against Humanity
by Michel Chossudovsky
Michel Chossudovsky reviews in detail how this insidious project “destroys people’s lives”. He provides a comprehensive analysis of everything you need to know about the “pandemic” — from the medical dimensions to the economic and social repercussions, political underpinnings, and mental and psychological impacts.
“My objective as an author is to inform people worldwide and refute the official narrative which has been used as a justification to destabilize the economic and social fabric of entire countries, followed by the imposition of the “deadly” COVID-19 “vaccine”. This crisis affects humanity in its entirety: almost 8 billion people. We stand in solidarity with our fellow human beings and our children worldwide. Truth is a powerful instrument.”
Reviews
This is an in-depth resource of great interest if it is the wider perspective you are motivated to understand a little better, the author is very knowledgeable about geopolitics and this comes out in the way Covid is contextualized. —Dr. Mike Yeadon
In this war against humanity in which we find ourselves, in this singular, irregular and massive assault against liberty and the goodness of people, Chossudovsky’s book is a rock upon which to sustain our fight. –Dr. Emanuel Garcia
In fifteen concise science-based chapters, Michel traces the false covid pandemic, explaining how a PCR test, producing up to 97% proven false positives, combined with a relentless 24/7 fear campaign, was able to create a worldwide panic-laden “plandemic”; that this plandemic would never have been possible without the infamous DNA-modifying Polymerase Chain Reaction test – which to this day is being pushed on a majority of innocent people who have no clue. His conclusions are evidenced by renown scientists. —Peter Koenig
Professor Chossudovsky exposes the truth that “there is no causal relationship between the virus and economic variables.” In other words, it was not COVID-19 but, rather, the deliberate implementation of the illogical, scientifically baseless lockdowns that caused the shutdown of the global economy. –David Skripac
A reading of Chossudovsky’s book provides a comprehensive lesson in how there is a global coup d’état under way called “The Great Reset” that if not resisted and defeated by freedom loving people everywhere will result in a dystopian future not yet imagined. Pass on this free gift from Professor Chossudovsky before it’s too late. You will not find so much valuable information and analysis in one place. –Edward Curtin
