Are you sure it isn't down to regulatory capture by the US pharmaceutical industry? You can see how nonsensical their comments are in relation to using horse formulations, forgetting that in many countries around the world it is so safe that it is available over the counter. It surely can't be be more dangerous than Advil or cough syrup. Have they forgotten doctors in the US actually prescribe it for Covid? Apparently many people in the US and the UK haven't cottoned on to why their death rates are so high. They seem too stupid to realize that if the cure for an illness is to stay at home without treatment until the symptoms become bad enough to warrant admission to hospital more people will suffer injury and may possibly die as a result. FWIW it is primarily the UK and US where that notion persists. Go elsewhere around the world and tell the people that the "treatment" for Covid is staying at home without treatment until symptoms become too hard to bear, and they will look at you as though you are fool, which indeed you are if that is what you believe. If you think I'm insulting the British and Americans, listen to this from an American doctor - [this video] After watching it take the time to consider how many Americans and British have died needlessly as a result of unthinking acceptance of statements made by the countries health authorities.
Peter McCullough, MD testifies to Texas Senate HHS Committee The part where they talk about trials like these.. [this video] Viewing full testimony is recommended.
lol - the only thing unproven are that the patents for drugs like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine have expired and theres no money to be made. Isn't amazing big pharama has a new pill/non-vaccine treatment for COVID now? Funny that. The gaslighting over any treatment other than the vax is beyond criminal at this point. Just watch: [this video]
There are actually a multitude of treatments beyond waiting for thing to get bad enough that you need to go to the hospital: [link] This is also worth a watch: [this video]
McCullough recently testified before the Texas state senate: [this video] He argued that drugs can and do significantly reduce hospitalization. He also claimed that literally nobody was stuffing drugs to reduce hospitalization, which is a strong claim but alarming if true.
> Advertise medical cures that the government doesn't approve of There is nothing wrong with advertising the truth that certain medical treatments exist which are not government approved in the US, or, legal in the US, but are defintely viable, and are actively used in other parts of the world, or, could be by physicians for off-label use. domperidone [1] is a drug that is used for a few indications overseas. There is an active discussion around it on a number of social media sites, but the FDA warns against importing it, for violating an FDA Act. It is possible to get an exception for one indication in the US, potentially...... But, many women want it because it helps with lactation, and for a woman with a hungry infant, this is a big issue. You get a screaming baby that wants 8 oz more of milk a day, and lemme tell you, can't negotiate with a screaming baby! Off Label uses of medications also, is common among Physicians. Viagra is one drug that has a number of utilities in off-label use. BigTech squelching the conversation around Domperidone is fairly similar to BigTech squelching the standard COVID treatment protocols [2], from Zelenko [3] & McCullough [4], which will likely become standard of care fairly shortly, and are now in evidence on CDC websites too [5], but significantly trailing the most updated protocols. But they don't squelch Domperidone talk, and the reason is simple. Pushing vaxxes are a big priority for the govt, while going after the discussion of secrets
Here are some doctors and scientists with "different" views - ie ideas and facts you are unlikely to hear about from mainstream media, and divisive vax versus anti-vax rhetoric. A) Multidrug treatment using existing medicines early in the symptomatic phase of COVID-19 can dramatically reduce the risk of hospitalization and death [1][2][3]. Coming from front-line doctors actually treating COVID-19 patients, and highly educated and published researchers, this is the most cited literature on the topic that does not concern vaccines. B) Naturally infected individuals who have recovered acquire robust and durable immunity, and are unlikely to benefit from subsequent vaccination [4][5][6][7]. C) Mandatory nonpharmaceutical interventions such as masks and quarantine may lead to particularly devastating seasons of endemic illnesses such as influenza and RSV [8]. This may further strain medical and healthcare facilities and affect our ability to mitigate the pandemic. D) Compulsory mass vaccination - combined with vaccines that do not necessarily prevent infection and transmission - may cause selective pressure that further enhances the fitness of the virus [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. This can lead to partial or complete immune escape which manifests as increased transmission or virulence, reduced vaccine efficacy, and reduced protection in individuals with naturally acquired immunity. [1] Pathophysiological Basis and Rationale for Early Outpatient Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)
There are many treatments other than just the vaccine that can prevent hospitalization and death too. Some countries like India rely on them daily since the vaccines aren't widely available to them. If you get infected with COVID there are far more options than "Sit around with a thumb up your ass until you have to be hospitalized and put on a ventilator". [this video] Every person spreading the "horse dewormer" nonsense should be charged with manslaughter. The politicization of this whole thing is beyond a fiasco.
