You know, it is ODD, when you back away from the hysteria for a moment, to notice that we have had a pandemic of a supposedly dangerous disease for 19 months–the response to which has traumatized billions of people and immiserated at least hundreds of millions through a return to severe poverty–and WE STILL DON’T HAVE A TREATMENT.
None. You get sick, get diagnosed with COVID, what happens? NOT A FUCKING THING. Nothing. If you have a good doctor they may tell you to take Vitamin D and Zinc, but they are prohibited from nearly everything else. Only when they have watched the disease grow and multiply and get worse in every way–from a safe distance of course–might you be admitted to a hospital, where they ALSO don’t have any really good options, although things like steroids and monoclonal antibodies do get put on the table.
Some good doctors may offer them earlier, in which case the hospital can offer nothing but IV’s with vitamins, Remdesvir–which does not help all the much–and distanced attention. And the occasional death machine.
It is not that HCQ was DELAYED as a treatment. It is not that honest people thought “well, we need to study this more”, and then studied it. The NIH did not do that. The CDC did not do that. The WHO did not do that. There are no reported studies I have seen. None funded. None planned. All that is being done overseas, by and large.
What they did is say DO NOT USE HCQ. DO NOT USE IVERMECTIN.
Did they have five years of data on the use of HCQ for COVID? Of course not. The faked Surgisphere study supposedly provided something like that, but IT WAS ALL LIES. This came out early. Why were the recommendations not altered to reflect that reality? It’s mind boggling, how fucking stupid so many people have been to buy all this.
Why not HCQ and Ivermectin? The average doctor prescribes something off label every day. They never stopped prescribing HCQ for Lupus and Arthritis, despite those being the populations where heart arrhythmias were a known potential issue.
Let me underscore that: Fauci said don’t use HCQ for COVID because it causes heart arrhythmias, but never told doctors to not use HCQ for the very populations where that was a known risk factor. In fact, the CDC explicitly said they could continue using HCQ for Lupus and Arthritis. This is madness.
Ivermectin is used for scabies, in this country.
Here is the thing: the same doctor, in the same town, with the same patient, could prescribe HCQ for the off label use of Lupus and the pharmacy would fill it. If he or she prescribed it for the off label use of COVID, the pharmacy would not fill it. So Peter McCullough reports in his talk on Therapeutic Nihilism.
Is this not insanity, given how thoroughly the responses to COVID have wrecked (and ended) so many lives?
Doctors are not even particularly TRAINED in drugs, strangely enough. They are in large measure taught by pharmaceutical reps, pharmacists, and trial and error on their own. This is the story, at least, as told to me by a pharmacist, who had fielded a lot of questions from doctors.
Somehow, through a strange process of induced mass psychosis, we have been taught to view people who are unvaccinated as the problem, rather than the LACK OF TREATMENT; or, perhaps better put, the SUPPRESSION OF EFFECTIVE TREATMENT.
Before polio vaccines, do you not think doctors did everything they could to treat it? Measles, Rubella, Smallpox? Of COURSE. They just in most cases lacked good remedies. Antibiotics had not been discovered and there were no simple fixes. That made effective and safe vaccines, which conferred full immunity, Godsends.
On a large number of individual accounts, with the plural of personal testimony delivered by qualified people being, obviously, empirical data, WE HAVE GOOD TREATMENTS.
This is not polio. It is not smallpox. Yet we are treating it as if it is, as if there is nothing we can do.
It’s very much like the Infrastructure Bill. We don’t need infrastructure. We don’t lack infrastructure. Problems with infrastructure are very far from being in the top twenty of our most pressing problems.
The Infrastructure Bill is using a LANGUAGE people recognize to cover up the REALITY of a mass bribe with taxpayer money to Democrat affiliated donors and activist groups. They may have a $100 million in there for all BLM chapters outside New York.
Likewise, smallpox only really diminished once we had a mass vaccination program in place. This is the history, and the propagandists are invoking that memory as if it still applied equally today.
But COVID is not Smallpox. Not even remotely close. Smallpox killed about a third of the people who got it. COVID, even if no other measures are taken, only kills about 20 people in a thousand who get it, and most of those people were dying slowly of something else.
With TREATMENT, as the Indians and others are showing, even in the dirt floor poor death rates are very near zero.
And so it occurs to me that in my daily discussions with the zealots, the TONE and METHOD remind me a lot of the political tones and methods counseled by that disciple of Lucifer Saul Alinsky.
Specifically, are they not polarizing people by dividing them into Us and Them, “vaccinated” and unvaccinated, and then personalizing the narrative, such that the Them is subjected to continual, ruthless and very mean attacks, both linguistically and legally?
“Science as a continuation of politics by another means”, the Clausewitz reference intended?
Perverted science inflicted as a means of social warfare?
I think that is accurate.
Every day I see people who see themselves as “progressive” and “compassionate” failing to grasp any of this. And that is not the biggest problem: they are not TRYING to grasp it. They are not trying to learn, despite the fact that the science of all this is vastly simpler than, say, the economics of large complex societies.
It’s really not hard: treat the disease as well as possible–which could be done immediately by taking the choke collars off our medical professionals–and offer the vaccines as an added booster for those who want it. Actually open societies the world over NOW, and fact finding commissions appointed in all societies which want to deserve to be called fair, liberal, and humanitarian.
This whole thing is a monstrosity that never should have happened. Outside of the first 2-3 weeks none of this has ever been defensible. I never thought it possible any of this would last into the SUMMER, much less be continuing a FUCKING YEAR LATER. Inconceivable. Impossible. Ludicrous. People are not that stupid, I thought.
But here we are. And some places like Australia got exponentially worse, despite the fact that BEFORE COVID suicide was killing 3x as many Australians annually as they lost in their first year of COVID.
