#NewBrunswick is ONLY province in 🇨🇦 where, since early April, its govt has allowed MDs to treat early #COVID19 pts with safe/generic #Hydroxychloroquine in the community & monitor via tele-medicine
2/ “If we prefer waiting for #HCQ RCTs, it’s very possible that #COVID19 storm will be behind us & that we’ll be too late. We have decided the right thing to do is to use our judgement as MDs, as clinical specialists.” —Dr Gabriel Girouard, Infectious Disease MD in NB #medtwitter
3/ Update: NB had halted outpt #HCQ for early #COVID19 w/in 2wks coinciding w/HC warning re cardiac toxicity. Too few pts enrolled to make conclusions. Only French media reported. HC hasn’t issued new stmt. Now know: no HCQ cardiac toxicity in COVID19, even in RCTs at high doses.

2/Sept2020 Forbes: "Covid Vaccine Protocols Reveal That Trials Are Designed To Succeed"
"Prevention of infection is not criterion for success for any of these vaccines.. None list mortality as endpoint.. Trials are testing to prevent common cold symptoms”
"None of trials underway designed to detect reduction in any serious outcome such as hospital adms, use of ICU, or deaths. Nor are covid vaccines being studied to determine whether they can interrupt virus transmission”
.@rupasubramanya:
Suggest looking into Trudeau’s appointed “Covid-19 Immunity Taskforce” next. I’ve been sounding alarm re 🇨🇦 fed/prov govts’ denial re Tcell immunity by omission since July2020, but it has all tragically fallen on deaf ears.

"Covid-19 & the Political Economy of Mass Hysteria"
"Mass/digital media in connection with the state may have had adverse consequences during Covid crisis. Resulting collective hysteria may have contributed to policy errors by govts.." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
2/ "Lockdowns have been unnecessary and detrimental to overall public health. In fact, prior scientific research on disease mitigation measures during a possible influenza pandemic had warned against such invasive interventions and recommended a more normal social functioning..."
3/ "In reaction to past pandemics such as the Asian flu of 1957–1958, there were no lockdowns and research before 2020 had opposed lockdowns.. Lockdowns have been a policy error. We have shown that these policy errors may well have been produced by a collective hysteria..."
🧵Public Health Ontario's new report was used by politicians, media, academics to claim majority of hospitalized & ICU Covid "cases" & deaths "with Covid" are "unvaccinated"
3/To make ethical evidence-based decisions, critical that all data is reported transparently: data from the control group (non-immune unvaccinated) must never be mixed with other test groups (immune unvaccinated, post-vaccination 0-13 days, post-vaccination ≥14 days)
