In compliance with the WHO recommendation, Switzerland banned the use of HCQ; however, about 2 weeks into the ban, Switzerland’s death rates tripled, for about 15 days, until Switzerland reintroduced HCQ. COVID deaths then fell back to their baseline.118 Switzerland’s “natural experiment” had provided yet another potent argument for HCQ.
The thing is, the people pushing for the bans knew (or should have known) that HCQ worked to keep patients out of hospital and morgues.
In fact, their bans were driven by the fact HCQ worked, hence why it had to be banned to protect the vaccine EUA and the associated $Billions in profits.
Their deliberate choice to ban HCQ was nothing short of murder.
Andrew Schlafly observed that, “The mortality rate from COVID-19 in countries that allow access to HCQ is only one-tenth the mortality rate in countries where there is interference with this medication, such as the United States. . . . In some areas of Central America, officials are even going door to door to distribute HCQ. . . . These countries have been successful in limiting the mortality from COVID-19 to only a fraction of what it is in wealthier countries.”135
Precisely.
I've encountered bigoted, racist views that 'Third world countries couldn't possibly do a better job than the developed West at science, medicine, and public health.'
The thing is, those poorer countries didn't have bucket loads of money to cash in on with vaccines....
The west is also the central clearing house for Pharma propaganda. The further away from the center you are, the freer you are. The closer you are to the West, let alone inside the West, the more likely you are to be trapped within an information bubble constructed by corporate elites like Gates and Fauci for their own benefit.
Thanks to Dr. Fauci, most US states had by then banned treatment with HCQ, including Dr. Nass’s home state of Maine, which banned it for prophylaxis, but did allow it for acute treatment. Dr. Nass suggested that the “acts to suppress the use of HCQ [were] carefully orchestrated” and that “these events [might] have been planned to keep the pandemic going to sell expensive drugs and vaccines to a captive population.”138
This is the most plausible rationale for what happened.
We live in a society of triumphant monopoly capitalism where industry cartels operate like soverign states within society. Beholden to no one and nothing but naked greed and profiteering off every form of human need and suffering.
Dr. Fauci himself, while spending 48 billion dollars on zero-liability vaccines, at first refused to allocate anything for a randomized placebo study of HCQ. Even worse, he cancelled two NIAID-sponsored trials of outpatient HCQ before completion.143
Fauci comes across as a ruthless snake-oil salesman conning people into buying his product by denying the value of any other treatment.
Dr. Fauci’s hypocrisy about HCQ is evident to anyone who looks at his vacillating pronouncements throughout his long career. He has persistently insisted on double-blind randomized placebo trials for medicines he dislikes (those that compete with his patented remedies) and airily fixed the NIAID study of remdesivir by changing the endpoints midstream to favor the drug. Dr. Fauci did not sponsor or encourage randomized trials for masks, lockdowns, or social distancing. And in the decades since he took over NIAID, he has never demanded randomized studies to confirm safety of the combined 69

He suggested using a combination of the antiviral drugs ribavirin and interferon-alpha 2b to treat MERS, even though the treatment had never been tested for safety or effectiveness against MERS in humans. In that circumstance, Dr. Fauci’s NIAID had found that the treatment could stop MERS virus from reproducing in lab-grown cells. And, oh yes, NIAID had patented it.145
2013 MERS outbreak response ... reach for the patented (hence profitable) solution ...
For bonus points, the patents involved belong to NIAID... Fauci's home organisation.
The COVID vaccines that qualified for Emergency Use Authorization include novel platforms like mRNA and DNA with no known safety profile. Others use toxic adjuvants like squalene and aluminum or novel adjuvants, with proven risks and potentially high rates of serious injuries. The two-month randomized clinical trials that justified the EUAs for COVID vaccines were far too brief to detect injuries with longer incubation periods.151,152,153 The vaccines are so risky that the insurance industry has refused to underwrite them,154 and the manufacturers refuse to produce them without blanket
...more
The Covide vaccines have such a high risk profile everyone was playing 'pass the hot potato,' to push the risk onto someone else.
The US taxpayer (the default target in these corporate games) became the bag holder. (Just like the GFC bailout of 'too big to fail banks.')
In fact, Dr. Fauci always had a stable of horses in the game. One of them is remdesivir, even after the WHO’s randomized placebo trial showed remdesivir ineffective against COVID.158 Furthermore, remdesivir has a catastrophic safety profile.159
Indeed, Remdesivir is a terrible drug, but it generates huge profits per dose along the delivery chain from manufacturer to hospital.
Everyone gets a piece of the pie - except the patient who gets the risk/harm.
He was thrilled to sponsor a human trial of a Moderna COVID vaccine (partly owned by his agency), before there were any safety and efficacy data from animal studies, which goes against FDA regulations. He then pushed for hundreds of millions of people to get EUA vaccines before the randomized placebo-controlled trials were complete. So much for Dr. Fauci’s requirement for having high-quality evidence before risking use of drugs and vaccines in humans.
His bizarre and inexplicable actions give credence to the suspicions held by many Americans that Dr. Fauci is working to prolong the epidemic in order to impose expensive patented drugs and vaccines on a captive population, during a pandemic that has crashed the world economy, caused famines, and destroyed lives.
Not bizzare and inexplicable. Fauci's actions were and remain consistent with the promotion of market control and profitability for corporations which is to be expected in a neo-fascist monopoly capitalist system that puts profits ahead of human welfare.
By the summer of 2020, front-line physicians had discovered another COVID remedy that equalled HCQ in its staggering, life-saving efficacy. Five years earlier, two Merck scientists won the Nobel Prize for developing ivermectin (IVM), a drug with unprecedented firepower against a wide range of human parasites, including roundworm, hookworm, river blindness, and lymphatic filariasis.1
Ivermectin.
Of course, it gets the same treatment as HCQ.
Issuing an Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) requires that there be ** no viable therapies ** ... hence all viable therapies must be eliminated from the market (anticompetitive market control practice) to enable an EUA and 'Zero Corporate Liability,' for the novel poorly tested, minimal safety case (no safety case for pregnant women) patented mRNA Covid vaccines that generated 10s of $Billions in revenue for Big Pharma once they became available for use.
** The same circumstance, enabled government mandates to coerce people at the risk of losing their jobs, careers, livelihoods to take the same highly profitable privately-owned corporate vaccines.
Researchers at Japan’s Kitasato Institute published a 2011 paper describing IVM in terms almost never used for any other drug: There are few drugs that can seriously lay claim to the title of “Wonder drug,” penicillin and aspirin being two that have perhaps had greatest beneficial impact on the health and wellbeing of Mankind. But ivermectin can also be considered alongside those worthy contenders, based on its versatility, safety, and the beneficial impact that it has had, and continues to have, worldwide—especially on hundreds of millions of the world’s poorest people.4
Because since 2012, multiple in-vitro studies have demonstrated that IVM inhibits the replication of a wide range of viruses. Nature Magazine published a 2020 study reviewing 50 years of research finding IVM “highly effective against microorganisms including some viruses,” and reporting the results in animal studies demonstrating “antiviral effects of ivermectin in viruses such as Zika, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile . . .”5
Ivermectin was already well understood to have antiviral properties with a superior record of decades of safe use.
However, by 2020, it was off patent and cheap to produce and sell, hence useless for the generation of outsized profits.
The opposite of a desirable product for the neo-fascist monopoly capitalist pharma cartel.
An April 3, 2020 article entitled “Lab experiments show anti-parasitic drug, ivermectin, eliminates SARS-CoV-2 in cells in 48 hours,”6 by Australian researchers at Monash and Melbourne Universities and the Royal Melbourne Hospital, first won IVM global attention as a potential treatment for COVID. The international press initially raved that this safe, inexpensive, well-known, and readily available drug had demolished SARS-CoV-2 in cell cultures. “We found that even a single dose could essentially remove all viral RNA by 48 hours and that even at 24 hours there was a really significant

Based on this study, on May 8, 2020, Peru—then under siege by a crushing COVID endemic— adopted ivermectin in its national guidelines. “Peruvian doctors already knew the medicine, widely prescribed it for parasites, and health authorities knew it was safe and were comfortable with it,” recalls Dr. Pierre Kory. COVID deaths dropped precipitously—by 14-fold—in the regions where the Peruvian government effectively distributed ivermectin. Reductions in deaths correlated with the extent of IVM distributions in all 25 states.
#2. Peru adopts widespread use of Ivermectin during the first Covid wave and massively reduces the death rate by a factor of 14. (i.e. From 14 deaths down to 1 death for the same infected population).
In December 2020, Peru’s new president, under pressure from WHO, severely restricted IVM availability and COVID cases rebounded with deaths increasing 13-fold.8
The WHO (heavily funded by Bill Gates who profits from the mRNA vaccines) intervenes in Peru to influence a new president who bans the use of Ivermectin.
Result: a massive increase in the death rate from covid.
Cures (HCQ, Ivermectin) for Covid existed, were known to the science and medical community, and were systematically eradicated from the market by government organisations to enable the deployment of ineffective, risky, and (likely) highly dangerous vaccines for massive profit.
Profits were made. Enablers were rewarded, and the common people died in droves.
When the government colludes with private interests/corporations to control the market and extract profit - that has a simple name: Fascism.
There was no conspiracy. This all happened out in the open and by default because by the start of 2020, we were already living in a fully active neo-fascist monopoly capitalist system where the machinery of the state is co-opted to the interests of the owners of capital such as Bill Gates. Fauci is an enabler. Bill Gates is a mover and shaker.
In Argentina, for example, in the summer of 2020, Dr. Hector Carvallo conducted a randomized placebo-controlled trial of ivermectin as a preventative, finding 100 percent efficacy against COVID. Carvallo’s team found no infections among the 788 workers who took weekly ivermectin prophylaxis, whereas 58 percent of the 407 controls had become ill with COVID-19.9
Ouch.
Ivermectin - 100% effective as a propylactic.
How many front line workers like nurses, doctors and ambulance staff would have been saved if Ivermectin was deployed.
Of course, such a deployment is impossible in a neo-fascist monopoly capitalist system in the thrall of uber-billionaires like Gates.
Furthermore, a 2021 study suggested that a key biological mechanism of IVM— competitive binding with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein—was not specific to any coronavirus variant and therefore, unlike vaccines, ivermectin would probably be effective against all future variants.11
A permanent cure, hence blocking all future Covid vaccine profits.
The pharma cartel had to get rid of this competitor to ensure they maximised profits (human welfare be damned!).
Since March 2020, when doctors first used IVM against COVID-19, more than 20 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have confirmed its miraculous efficacy against COVID for both inpatient and outpatient treatment. Six of seven meta-analyses of IVM treatment RCTs completed in 2021 found notable reductions in COVID-19 mortality. The relevant studies “all showed significant benefit for high-risk outpatients,” says the eminent Yale epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch. The only studies where its performance was anything short of stellar were those that investigated its efficacy in patients in very late

Early in January 2021, Dr. David Chesler, a geriatric specialist who had treated 191 infected patients since the previous spring at seven Virginia nursing homes, wrote to Dr. Fauci claiming that he had achieved a mortality rate of 8 percent using ivermectin—half (and 146,000 deaths less than) the US average in elder-care facilities. In his letter to Dr. Fauci, Chesler attached a peer-reviewed case study documenting reports of similar efficacy from other countries. Neither Dr. Fauci nor anyone else from NIAID replied to Dr. Chesler’s letter.15
The establishment's refusal to acknowledge this letter stands as a stark reminder of the establishment's alignment with the pursuit of profit over the needs of the common people.
Research suggests that ivermectin may work through as many as 20 separate mechanisms. Among them, ivermectin functions as an “ionophore,” facilitating transfer of zinc into the cells, which inhibits viral replication. Ivermectin stops replication of COVID-19, seasonal flu, and many other viruses through this and other mechanisms. For example, a March 2021 study18
Multiple studies noted this.
Ivermectin gums up how Covid works blocking multiple steps in the virus's lifecycle.
In March, 2021, a published study by Peter McCullough and 57 other front-line physicians from multiple countries found that “Our early ambulatory treatment regimen was associated with estimated 87.6 percent and 74.9 percent reductions in hospitalization and death.”19
In March 2020, Dr. Paul Marik, chief of intensive care medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School, began posting treatment guidelines for the care of COVID patients. Dr. Marik, one of the best known and well-published professors of intensive care medicine, recruited a team of the most highly respected and most published leading ICU physicians from across the globe to systematically research all possible approaches to this new virus. Soon, his organization, Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), created a website and posted their first treatment protocols in mid-April 2020. By

Note that the FLCCC doctors are currently (Jan 2024) smeared by establishment propaganda outfits like Wikipedia where there entry is filled with derogatory information ...
All to protect corporata profits at the expense of human welfare.
In December 2020, FLCCC President and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Pierre Kory, a pulmonary and critical care specialist, testified to the benefits of ivermectin before a number of COVID-19 panels, including the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.27 In riveting testimony, Kory described: Six studies with a total of over 2,400 patients—all showing near-perfect prevention of transmission of this virus in people exposed to COVID-19 . . . Three RCT’s randomized controlled studies and multiple large case series—involving over 3,000 patients showing stunning recovery among

“COVID resulted in ~6 million hospitalizations and 700,000+ deaths in America,” says Dr. Kory. “If HCQ and IVM had been widely used instead of systematically suppressed, we could have prevented 75 percent, or at least 500,000 deaths, and 80 percent of hospitalizations, or 4.8 million. We could have spared the states hundreds of billions of dollars.”
The 500K un-neccessary deaths number again.
(Actually, it's 700K unneccessary as the covid virus was engineered via gain-of-function research championed by Fauci and funded by HHS and DARPA - no funding - no virus - no leak from an inadequate Wuhan lab - no pandemic...)
NIH’s neutral January 14, 202130 “non-recommendation,”31 issued in the face of strong evidence of ivermectin’s safety and efficacy for COVID-19, was the first obvious signal of the agency’s determination to suppress IVM. NIH claimed that there was “Insufficient evidence . . . to recommend either for or against the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19.” NIH shrouded its process for reaching that non-recommendation in secrecy, refusing to disclose the panel members who took part in the ivermectin deliberations, and redacting their names from the documents that various Freedom of

Israel started using ivermectin officially in September 2021, with the health insurance companies distributing ivermectin to high-risk citizens. El Salvador distributes IVM for free to all of its citizens.38
Link 38 is a 404. Double checked it and the issue is a missing '-' hyphen b/t indias and ivermectin.
I.e. indiasivermectin needs to be indias-ivermectin, then the link works.
At the end of December 2000, Dr. Lawrie happened on a YouTube video of Pierre Kory’s Senate testimony on ivermectin. Her interest piqued, Dr. Lawrie conducted a “pragmatic rapid review” between Christmas and New Year’s to validate the 27 studies from the medical literature that Kory cited, assessing each of them for quality and power. “After a week, I realized it was a go. IVM’s safety was well-established as a widely used dewormer,” she told me. “I was startled by the magnitude of its benefits. Its efficacy against COVID was consistently clear in multiple studies. I thought that all these

Yes. A moral obligation.
So, of course not done, as moral action has no place within the operation of neo-fascist monopoly capitalism and its servants like Fauci.
The Together Trial organizer was Gates’ trial designer, Ed Mills, a scientist with heavy conflicts with Pharma and a reputation as a notorious industry biostitute.
New word, biostitute.
Comparing bought and paid for scientists with prostitutes does a disservice to prostitutes who by the very nature of their work are at the very least honest about the transaction.
The correct comparison is with child-raping priests hiding their evil behind a white dog-collar....
Both, 'biostitutes' and child-raping priests present an honourable front while living a dreadful, evil, exploitative lie.
Dr. Lawrie gently informed Hill that that was “irregular for a meta-analysis,” adding, “When you do a systematic review, you usually don’t include the authors of the studies because that inherently biases your conclusions. It’s got to be independent.”
The idea of a meta-analysis is simple. It's an audit. Of course it has to be independent.
Its hard to imagine Hill could be that stupid ... hence ...
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation holds a board seat and chairs Unitaid’s Executive Committee, and the BMGF has given Unitaid $150 million since 2005.62 Various Gates-funded surrogate and front organizations, like Global Fund, Gavi, and UNICEF also contribute, as does the pharmaceutical industry.
$150M? Chump change for co-opting the regulatory and decision-making organisations when multi $B annual profits are on the line.
For bonus points, Andrew Hill was funded by ... Unitaid.
I wonder how much NGOs are simply a mechanism to enable the payoff of state insiders to shape regulatory frameworks to benefit private interests.
I.e. Private interests (e.g. Gates) fund an NGO (e.g. UNITAID) who then shape a regulatory response (Any Govt) that benefits a corporation owned by the private interest...
“For the first time in history, pharmacies were telling doctors what they can and cannot prescribe,” says Dr. McCullough. The directives shattered the traditional sacred relationship between doctors and patients that the profession had nurtured and protected since Hippocrates. The medical profession has long told doctors that their single obligation is to their patients. The AMA’s declaration helped march doctors into their new role as agents of state policy. The state policy is to prescribe treatments, not based upon the health interests of the individual patient but based upon the perceived

Wrong conclusion, the state (in this specific instance) answers to the private owners of the pharmaceutical industry.
To date, Lorigo has been in thirty courts. “The people who I’ve been able to get the ivermectin to on time have all lived; the others have died.” He has obtained dozens of injunctions for patients, precipitating a host of sudden recoveries. “The hospitals are so arrogant. They are letting the people die. They get $37,000 to put them on the vent, and they just let them die.”
Indeed. The hospital operational framework is profit orientated. They will prioritise the most profitable treatments, even if those treatments kill the patient.
The object of the system is make profits (or meet budgets), not save lives.
