Two papers that convinced me that the best early treatment for COVID is sunlight and why (a thread):

Sunlight's photons are more than 50% infrared. Infrared light passes through the body very easily (even through bone). As seen in this picture: Image This means that infrared light can "touch" just about every cell in your body. When this happens, spike protein induced inflammatory cytokines are reduced and anti-inflammatory cytokines are induced. Proof:

High body temperature shuts down SARS CoV2 replication. Paper: we’ve been talking about this since the pandemic. Try not to treat fevers.
Thanks to @TomNob7 for sharing.

Pulmonary endothelial cells coat the inside of the blood vessels in the lungs and prevent the exposure of vWF to blood which causes clotting. COVID kills these cells, releases vWF causing blood clots. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… Interestingly, type of blood typically has the least amount of vWF under the endothelial cells.

Covid rates were lowest and more mild in type O blood

Remember that H5N1 has already made the jump from birds to mammals. It’s in 6 different dairy farms in the US. The jump from birds to cows is bigger than the jump from cows to humans.

While rare, mammals can be infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) (“H5N1 bird flu”) viruses.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/m…

Connect these dots:
Plant based or Pescatarians have less chance of getting severe C-19:

Interferon response inversely determines severity of C19:

Interventional vegan diet increases interferon in subjects:

Fever, which is part of the innate immune system elevates the secretion (among other things) of interferon (a broad antiviral) as seen in this experiment. It's why I rarely will treat a fever unless the patient is at risk for seizures or is tachycardic (fast HR). Image Reference: .pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3132509/#:~:te…

I'll never forget when my Polish grandfather-in-law (not Jewish) took me on a tour of Auschwitz I where he was imprisoned in Block 11 (on the right). He was released after his mother bribed the guard but failed to turn up to the war front and was hunted down but escaped. He didn't like to talk about it, but it was the most surreal thing to hear from a person who was actually there telling us (in Polish) what happened. Here's what he said:

Average chance of an American dying on any given day in 2019 was 0.00001960
On April 11, 2021 in the US, 3.5 million people were vaccinated. Meaning that just based on statistics or chance , that day, about 70 people died within 24 hours of getting their vaccine. By chance. You could do a 1 minute story on each of them and fill an entire news hour with it and still have more left. This is why anecdotal stories and assigned motives should not guide policy. This is why we do studies with controls.

More evidence against systemic short term vaccine injury:

The data is emerging that the sun is GOOD for you (in moderation). Americans spend 93% of their life indoors. We are 4% of the world population but make up 17% of the C19 deaths. Even people with melanoma had better survival when outside. ar.iiarjournals.org/content/38/2/1…. Vit D supplementation (and I do it), does not replace going outside.

Excess deaths. What are they? They are deaths above the baseline. Have you ever seen the baseline in previous years? Look? What do you notice? Thread: Notice that they ALL peak in the wintertime and that cardiovascular deaths are number one! It's the same in the southern hemisphere but just in their winter (July). Thread:

An Interferon response is essential to overcome a viral infection. SARS-CoV2 suppresses it by use of a non-Spike protein. We've known it for some time: Now, a newly published article details how this occurs: nature.com/articles/s4146…
