When I first came to America, I was very suspicious of non-fat and low fat products. Always sought out a rare full fat product and cooked with butter all my life. As with masks now, no need to engage in mass insanity of any diet.
Understand butter:

It’s a precious food due to limited availability in a natural homestead/farm situation. You wouldn’t be using a lot of it. You wouldn’t have unlimited supply of it. You wound have uninterrupted year round supply of it.

Study butter in context.
A frequent problem in Southern restaurants - too much butter.

When you cook with butter, it makes food taste delicious. Too much of it - taste deteriorates. You should feel like you are eating straight butter.
Butter in context of this place and time in history in combination with its taste and culinary use would make up the complexity that should never be reduced to butter is good/butter is bad.

"If you do this, we will be forced to think that mosques are being deserted on America's instructions," Mufti Kafayatullah told the crowd.

"We're ready to give our lives, but not ready to desert our mosques."
Naveed Paracha, a 35-year-old employee of a garment shop, said he came to the mosque because he feels his faith is stronger than any virus. "Diseases come and go, but for Muslims, you always have to stand in front of God," he said.
"[Lockdowns are] not the answer to these problems," Aziz had told Al Jazeera. "We believe the people should not be made to fear things right now, they should have faith in God at this time, and to place their hope in him ... If death is written for you, then it will come."

The problem with recommending vitamins, a vaccine, or no-carb (or any other) diet as a means to greater health - misunderstanding of the complexity to make something good and not harmful happen.
All three ritual actions attempt to create a state of 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦-𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 that will be proclaimed healthy based on some limited assortment of random parameters. These parameters come to be from population statistics as random context-free averages tied to some outcomes.
All three require surprisingly little thinking, no understanding of anything beyond following a simple algorithm and consumption of a drug/service on a routine or intermittent basis.

Our future is glum. The progress will continue. Vaccines will keep saving us. We will be able to upgrade ourselves with spare body parts and change who we are. A little or a lot. We invest into drugs so we will keep on drugging. Masks work so they will stay.
Those of us in the present state of mind will be the last men of our kind who refuse to progress but we are almost extinct.
In good news, God is with us. No matter what trials and tribulations are ahead of us, we will ensure them just like all the men who came before us.

It is most odd to arrange your life to "prevent hospital care".
How does one care for a child that keeps a child well minute to minute, hour to hour, day to day, here and now? When a child is born, he belongs to the mother and should continue being on the mother most of the time
There are tribes that care for children collectively, and multiple women nursing a child. We are not that tribe. In the West the care for a child falls on one woman. It is on that one woman that the well-being of that child depends.
How well the community cares for the mother and how well it provides for her impacts that child. The baseline way to mother a child is by nursing at the breast. No by "lactation management" via the freezer. Reality is not frozen. Adaptation of a child via the mother is real time.

On Saturday, June 17, 1916, an official announcement of the existence of an epidemic polio infection was made in Brooklyn, New York. Over the course of that year, there were over 27,000 cases and more than 6,000 deaths due to polio in the US, with over 2,000 deaths in NYC alone.
What can we make of this Wikipedia entry? Is this a story? Is this a fact? What is the relationship of this collection of words and symbols to scientific knowledge, practice, and the society that thinks we are scientific?

What is a good way to evaluate an event? What kind of a method is good for this purpose? How can we make sense of an event? What in this collection of words is true and what is not? How do we establish truth? What is the relationship of truth to science? What is science?

There are many ways to live. Accounting for uncertainty and knowing you have no chance at controlling complexity or being delusional. You can dwell in present reality. Or in a “matrix” of artificial devising of your own inflamed imagination.
A study, a graph, chart, a collection of numbers are not reality.
Complex systems of seemingly similar sets of conditions produce different reality.
