CNBC:
'Gottlieb’s comments came in the wake of data from Pfizer that indicated its Covid antiviral pill, when paired with an HIV medication...'cnb.cx/2ZW47X4
'Combining the pill with an HIV medication slowed the metabolism, allowing the Covid antiviral to work longer in the body'
Why are C19 prophylactics & early treatments such a sh*t show?
I get that I'm not a horse, and so any drug (like aspirin) used with horses is not for me.
But they get that I don't have HIV, and am not too jazzed about a medication that 'slows my metabolism' for months, right?
Wasn't the whole idea of prescribing a drug used to treat one thing (neuralgia) to treat some other thing (blood pressure), supposed to be as ridiculous as animal/human cross-over medications?
'Veterinarians estimate that 300 drugs have been approved for use in companion animals like dogs, cats and horses.' baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-20…
But that was so 2002.
People do get that most of our medications go through animal testing, though, yes? #HorsePaste

'One...outcome of the pandemic is that the public’s faith in scientific & medical authorities is perhaps at its lowest point in living memory – & no objective observer can truly be surprised.' rt.com/op-ed/539814-c…
The hidden cancer that will destroy public health care: loss of trust.
'At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic...Dr Anthony Fauci and US Surgeon General Dr Jerome Adams told us not to wear masks, until they instructed us to wear one everywhere we went.'
'The Covid vaccines were declared to be effective at preventing the spread of disease, until breakthrough cases around the globe proved that wasn’t so, and that effectiveness was downgraded to “against hospitalization and death.”'
'"Under Scenario 3...the model predicts more excess hospitalizations due to vaccine-related myocarditis/pericarditis compared to prevented hospitalizations due to COVID-19 in males and in both sexes combined," states Pfizer.' theblaze.com/op-ed/horowitz…
'In Pfizer's FDA briefing document prepared for the Oct. 25 meeting was an admission that even according to the company's own unverified & misleading math...there would be more hospitalizations among children for myocarditis — just one side effect — than from COVID.'
That is, a scenario featuring more vax harm than benefit for children due to a single, known side effect, in the short-term, not to mention other side effects, known and unknown in the short and long terms.
Does this make her an anti-vax neo-Nazi @DFisman?
'One of the UK’s most respected public health experts has called on the Scottish Government to scrap its “ridiculous and discriminatory” vaccine passport scheme.' dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…
'Professor Allyson Pollock spoke out after a study by The Lancet medical bible found double-jabbed people can be just as likely to pass on Covid-19.'
'Pollock, a clinical professor of public health at Newcastle University, said: “Vaccine passports don’t make public health sense. Your vaccination status tells us nothing about whether you’re infectious or transmitting at that moment in time.'
'As physician-researchers who have pioneered the invention of vaccines...for over 30 years (against cancer), we feel compelled to highlight the need for caution & honest public debate about potential long-term consequences of the available...vaccines.' go.shr.lc/3nJ7IzD
'Disturbing short-term complications from COVID-19 vaccines in adults, including myocarditis, blood clots in the brain, and neurological disorders, warrant us to pause. But we must be transparent that the real threat to children is the unknown long-term complications.'
'mRNA also activates danger sensors in the primal immune system....which have been associated with autoimmunity....underscored by a clinical trial of an mRNA lung cancer vaccine in 2019, in which blood tests revealed elevated indicators... in 20% of patients.'

'A study published Sept. 30, in the peer-reviewed European Journal of Epidemiology Vaccines found “no discernible relationship” between the percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID cases.' childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/fully…
'In fact, the study found the most fully vaccinated nations had the highest number of new COVID cases, based on the researchers’ analysis of emerging data during a seven-day period in September.'
In US:
'Of the top five counties with the highest percentage of population fully vaccinated (99.9% – 84.3%), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identified four as “high” transmission counties.'
NYT:
Dr. Fauci 'has begun incrementally raising his herd-immunity estimate. In the pandemic’s early days, Dr. Fauci tended to cite the same 60 to 70 percent estimate that most experts did. About a month ago, he began saying “70, 75 percent"...' nytimes.com/2020/12/24/hea…
'In a telephone interview the next day, Dr. Fauci acknowledged that he had slowly but deliberately been moving the goal posts. He is doing so, he said, partly based on new science, and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.'
This is after telling Americans for months that masks do not help, not because he believed this, but because there were not enough masks.
