Jeff Wilks in Conversation with Tyler Shultz

Tyler is such a great person and I'm glad he came out of this nightmare with his ethics in tact.

[@jubejaher]

Thanks to the interviewer for letting Tyler tell without interrupting!

[@83Roboto]

It's great to hear Tyler had a good outcome from such a hair raising and risky situation. He went into greater detail on the encounters between his grandfather and the Theranos lawyers which was heart pounding. Most people would have caved at that point. The world needs more people like Tyler. He stood up to immense power and threats. In short, it's nice to see a young person with such conviction and a "pair of b*lls".

[@Breakbeats92.5]

Hats off to this young man for not buckling under the tremendous legal pressure applied by David Boies and his legal team. They could have easily bankrupted him and his family with frivolous law suits that would have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend. He stuck to his guns and didn't back down and probably saved some lives in the process. Words can't explain how exemplary this dude is.

[@usermc1234]

thank you for standing up for what you thought was right. to hear the true story is so scary. they actually kept their operations so air-tight that interns weren't let in on the truths.. only full time employees were forced to sign an nda. People only keep quiet and go with the flow because they don't want to be pulled out for public flogging. But if there's no where else to go if you are in the direct line of fire. Thank you for going through adversity for this. Now I feel sorry for people who kept quiet. Keeping quiet will forever be on their conscience and work history.

[@ikexbankai]

@@candypietravels well too be fair just because someone is your blood doesn’t mean they are right. What he should have done is took that info from his grandson at face value and promised to support him and demanded to check it against the lab himself. Thus doing the due diligence that he should have done from the start

[@cheechalker8430]

His story of moving from intern to full time employee reminds of the interns in The Office: “I learned that a company can describe their internship as “full of exciting experiences,” even if that’s a lie. There’s no regulation.” .

[@Penny_Royalty]

It’s very rare we watch in real time … a real truthful example of a person who has it all… I mean George Schultz grandson ffs - demonstrate such integrity and ethics despite all costs. to go against his grandfather. he could’ve lost his inheritance, his family, reputation, everything. Yet, his belief in himself, his passion, moral compass, and scientific integrity was his guide. I can’t think of another person in his life position who has sacrificed so much just to do the right thing. All we see is people mess up and kinda get forced to finally tell the truth and even they get praised. Tyler is a rare pure human and it’s amazing to see and to know that kind of integrity exists! I’m a scientist and I’m I’ve seen so many unethical scientists who put their own self-interests above the objective search for truth… regardless of where that search takes you. And I’m so blown away by this guy. But when you are a scientist, you take an OATH to “do no harm” and that’s serious to me. The second I break that willingly knowing I’m doing harm I’m not a scientist anymore. I’m a fraud. I couldn’t live with myself. Ian Gibbons knew this and it weighed on his heart and soul. His scientific credibility was his identity. When he felt he lost that, he killed himself. Because to him, he was part of something that violated his oath. To do no harm. It wasn’t his fault. I feel awful for him to this day. Thank god his people like Tyler who helped to vindicate people like Ian.

As a retired manager of clinical labs, this proves that the company was unethical. The accrediting bodies fir real labs require standardized quality control and courses of corrective action for failures. And 80% is not an acceptable deviation. I am appalled. It was a money mongering sham or scam. No clinical background. Geez

[@dr.garyhatcher8364]

So I was just wondering. This medical director, apparently a physician, rubberstamped acceptability of your lab results when he clearly knew the results were unreliable and the variance way too high to be acceptable in Healthcare - - did anyone bothered to report him to the medical board? And if not, why not. It can be done anonymously in California.

[@juditlow7621]

You are so brave. A true role model. I whistle blowed this summer for a right reason, and they all turned on me. It was horrible feeling. I cannot comprehend what you must have experienced.

[@PungiFungi]

Erike did went to Tyler as he had more clout because of his grandfather. It still didn’t protect him from Holmes, wrath and efforts to destroy him. But in the end, it was also Erika’s tip to the regulatory agencies that prompted an unannounced visit that toppled the house of cards.

11 He says: son of man, that is to say prophet, understand only that the vision is for the time of the end. Thus, the four beasts of Daniel 7 and Daniel 8 are neither the Babylonian empire, nor Medo-Persian empire, nor the world Greek empire, nor the pagan Rome but their fulfillment is for the time of the end! Amen! Daniel 7:17-18 says: "These great beasts, which are four, are four kings,[that] shall arise out of the earth; but the saints of the Most High [places] shall receive the Kingdom, and they shall possess the Kingdom for ever, even to the ages of ages." You see? 12 Whether in the chapter 7 or in the chapter 8 of Daniel, we notice that just after these four beasts, the saints who enter the scene receive the kingship and the dominion forever, and to the ages and ages. Amen! 13 Yet the most important thing which I would like to point out is the fact that the fulfillment of these visions is for the time of the end. Thus, it is not in the time of Nebuchadnezzar or of the Old Testament that the fulfillment of these visions must be looked for but at the end of time. Yet it is the manifestation of the Lord Jesus-Christ in flesh for our redemption which marks and announces the beginning of the end of time. And it is from the Lord Jesus-Christ that the showing of the first beast of Daniel 7 and Daniel 8 must be looked for. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. 14 Well, how many of you know and believe that Babylon of which Revelation 17 and 18 speak is neither the Babylon of Nimrod in Genesis, nor the Babylon of Nebuchadnezzar in the middle of the Bible but it is question of the roman catholic church. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. And the Bible says that this first beast was made to stand on its feet as a man and that man's heart was given to it and it behaved as a nation with a State, having a status of State with ambassadors. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. And if you believe that the catholic church is the first beast of Daniel 7 and 8 that is to say the image of Babylon at the end of time then it is not behind the catholic church that is to say before the catholic church that the other three beasts must be looked for. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. 15 And if this first beast at the end of time is religious then the other three beasts are similarly! And if this beast in the end of time is a church-empire then the three other beasts that will come after it will also be churches-empires! [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. And after verses 15, 16 and 17 of Daniel 8, verse 26 says: "And the vision of the evening and the morning which hath been told is true; but close thou up the vision, for it is for many days [to come]. " Amen! And the history of the Church and the midnight Cry, reveal four phases, four stages of the Christianity. You see? 16 Four religious empires of which the first one is Catholicism and three other religious empires that are the beasts stemming from the Protestantism whose main horns are: the Lutheran church, the Calvinist church, the Zwingli church, the Anglican church, the Methodist church, the Anabaptist church and the beginning of the Baptist church. And this wild Protestantism is the ram of Daniel 8. And the ram is the advanced form of the lamb and the priests no longer need it for the sacrifice of a sweet odour to Jehovah. And the ram is thus a progression of the lamb, it is of the posterity of the Lamb that is to say the posterity of those who came out under the calf of Revelation 4:7. The ram is the advanced and wild form now of God's real lambs that were Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Huss, John Wycliff, John Wesley, … and all those who believed in them and who were their disciples! Even if the Methodists or Lutheran, today, do not know it, but their faith professes that God's will, it is to believe in him that He has sent but only it is an old faith as the ram before the lamb. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"]. www.philippekacou.org
