@NickHudsonCT @gummibear747 @EthicalSkeptic @justin_hart @BallouxFrancois @RWMaloneMD @RandPaul @TuckerCarlson Are we insane? In January/February of 2020 the first retrospective studies of COVID19 mortality were released.
1/
They clearly showed low Vitamin D, obesity, age, and a few other factors strongly correlated with the majority of fatalities. At that moment simple safe and cheap recommendations should have been made.
2/
The World’s population should have been told to take Vitamin D, and isolate and protect the vulnerable. We should have also undertaken a rapid comprehensive examination of all drugs that might easily be repurposed.
3/
Further, as we already knew what COVID19 was, general actions to boost the body’s immunity such as enhancing intracellular zinc and vitamins like all the B’s and C should have been recommended. Today, 18 months and millions of fatalities later, where are we?
4/
We have not clearly made such recommendations nor have we prioritized comprehensive large scale trials of repurposed drugs. There have been trillions lost and hundreds of billions spent on experimental vaccines and drugs but can not find a way to examine what we already had?
5/
I no longer take 20 hours per day reading scientific studies after it became obvious that Big Pharma and the medical bureaucracy see this as a huge economic opportunity while incompetent autocratic politicians view COVID19 as the greatest opportunity, ever, to seize power.
6/
Someday, perhaps, we will wake up from this mass delusion and hold those that caused the unnecessary deaths of millions responsible. Instead we are distracted by continuous factional debate and witness the destruction of civil liberties, economies and people’s lives.
7/
Are we sleeping? When will the nightmare end? What if those with the duty to protect us actually cared to do so? Is it too late to stop this madness from continuing? What could have been if we had not lost our minds? Could someone please pass the Haldol?

@gummibear737 @EthicalSkeptic @MichaelPSenger @Covid19Crusher @EduEngineer @AbdenurFlavio I think, as humans we have difficulty with many issues of logic, probably primed by primitive instincts. We cannot distinguish between stories of grief and tragedy, and the actual risks.
1/
This pandemic, the propaganda and repression of honest discussion have created a huge distortion in the dialog and perceptions. Add the authoritarian attitude of suddenly relevant officials and we have had a perfect storm. I had COVID19 and am older.
2/
My case, clinically, was relatively mild. However, I have had a variety of lingering sequelae. Mild to severe headaches, bouts of overwhelming fatigue, loss of smell/taste and abnormal small vessel inflammation in several locations in my body.

Continuing failure of the Fauci and the NIH to investigate COVID19 treatments. Evidence is clear that secondary bacterial infections, out of control inflammation and micro-coagulation are all primary concerns.
1/
Cytokine inflammation response has many potential treatments identified from other diseases. But where is the well funded research on this. Dexamethasone, aspirin and a few other drugs used but there are many possibilities. Great news is coming in on one, Fluvoxamine.
2/
Work at Washington University in St. Louis highlighted this early. On going RCTs continue to study it. Work in other countries is verifying effectiveness.

@nay_sue1 @ScottAdamsSays I am an expert on masks and air flow, we get all exercised about masks and certain governmental mandates to wear them.
1) Like many aspects of this disease the definitive science on particle size distribution has not done,
1/
@nay_sue1 @ScottAdamsSays 2) Duration of naked aerosolized particle viability is unknown,
3) Total lack of control on mask design makes it impossible to study what really works and what doesn’t,
4) We have no idea how much virus is required to catch the disease,
2/
@nay_sue1 @ScottAdamsSays 5) Airflow is extraordinarily complicated and space configuration dependent,
6) Some particles would be stopped by almost any masks,
7) Some localized airflow characteristics around a person wearing a mask would tend to mitigate spread,

China has been fomenting conflict in the area attempting to further consolidate influence across the sub-region on India’s Eastern flank. Their direct strategic aim is to lessen India’s influence and surround them with Chinese aligned countries.
1/
Immediate goal is to secure access to warm water ports and natural gas resources. They may eventually try to aggravate separatist sentiments in India’s NorthEastern states and take control of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands through Myanmar as their proxy.
2/
They have successfully backed both sides in the ongoing separatist struggles within Myanmar. Although excused to maintain current pipeline and energy operations it has been a goal to Balkanize the area, openly discussed in Chinese strategic planning documents, for decades.

@gummibear737 @Covid19Crusher @LukeMor19529310 @MichaelPSenger @EduEngineer @EthicalSkeptic We have been in the grips of some sort of mass self delusion, up is called down and the minions scream, “yes!” A few deeply examined the good and the bad science, me included.
1/
We presented statistics, graphs, logic, and the moral principles involved. An incredible furor was directed our way. We were doxxed, our social media accounts turned down or cancelled, some of us were even assigned personal trolls from big Pharma to heckle us.
2/
This is not whining but these are simple facts. We engaged in debate and they tried to cancel us. Many noted epidemiologists blocked me instead of simply talking about math/statistics errors. We are the canaries laying dead or dying on the bottom of our cages in the coal mine.

I have gotten a number of questions about why we should be angry at Dr. Fauci, the NIH and CDC. The answer is simple, early in the pandemic a decision was made to do a full court press against the disease which looked like it had a mortality rate around 4% instead 0.1-0.3%.
1/
This included massive industrial efforts to acquire PPE for first line workers, educate the public, initial lockdowns, study repurposing drugs and developing vaccines. Many of the efforts proved tremendously successful. But exploration of drug repurposing always seemed to lag.
2/
Why was that? Early it was a conflict over the EUA for Remdesivir, a drug Dr. Fauci was personally vested in. Early reports of Hydroxychloroquine success in treating COVID19 threatened the EUA for Remdesivir. FDA EUA’s are only used if there is no safe alternatives.
