I am not basing my medical knowledge from any one group but reading here and there both the benefits of Ivermectin and HCQ. Past studies and current information (though largely currently discredited) I find more credible and trustworthy than the current information we are receiving on the vaccines. IMHO their safety is questionable and I don't believe we are receiving accurate stats on side effects and mortality rates.
I will not get a vaccine that I don't trust.
The idea that wearing a mask outside to prevent the virus is better than breathing in fresh air and getting some sunshine to me is complete lunacy. Most ER's in my area only allow patients in the facility, others must wait outside the facility. Many medical facilities practice the same rule; patients only. If masks were so great, they'd be allowing others to accompany the patients. IMO Breathing in germs/viruses that are trapped on a mask isn't healthy. So, where's even the logic here??
While the oil patch was shut down up here, I made some 4500 food deliveries, some "contactless" by request (mask, gloves, placed the order on a pedestal on the doorstep and stood off 6-10 feet to wait to retrieve the pedestal the food went on to keep it off the step/ground), and had to wear a mask for all deliveries (company policy). As soon as the delivery was over mask and gloves came off. The mask went on the dash to soak up some UV, unless the delivery was to the hospital or similar venue (especially where COVID testing had been done) and then both were discarded.
I got a lot of sunshine, plenty of exercise, and unless required did not wear a mask anywhere. I ate as much red meat as I could afford, and took a single Zinc supplement tablet daily.
The nonsense coming from Fauci (especially) and the CDC has damaged their credibility, but not so much as the absolute censoring of any mention of viable treatments, and the subsequent of control of the narrative through Fecebook, Twitter, and now the Associated Press, which is why most articles in the media will not mention any research which sheds a favorable light on the use of combned antiparasitics, macrolide antibiotics, and supplements to reduce the duration and severity of COVID-19 and even the noted prophylactic effect of the regimen.
Oddly enough, even commercials during the Cold and Flu Season (or at least when it usually was) did not mention zinc as a cold remedy, although the viral inhibition effects are well known and documented.
I must note in the abstract of the Nature paper (2015) they had found their chimera virus created from assembling a Bat Coronavirus and a "mouse adapted SARS backbone" to be resistant to antivirals, but the absence of reference to antiparasitics indicates those were not tested against the chimera, a virus which attached to and entered the cell using the spike protein at the ACE2 site, and which attacked respiratory cells with vigour. (sure sounds like SARS-CoV-2 to me). Two of the researchers on that team (Xing-Yi Ge and Zhengli-Li Shi) were from the Wuhan Institute of Virology

Using the SARS-CoV reverse genetics system2, we generated and characterized a chimeric virus expressing the spike of bat coronavirus SHC014 in a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV backbone. The results indicate that group 2b viruses encoding the SHC014 spike in a wild-type backbone can efficiently use multiple orthologs of the SARS receptor human angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2), replicate efficiently in primary human airway cells and achieve in vitro titers equivalent to epidemic strains of SARS-CoV. Additionally, in vivo experiments demonstrate replication of the chimeric virus in mouse lung with notable pathogenesis. Evaluation of available SARS-based immune-therapeutic and prophylactic modalities revealed poor efficacy; both monoclonal antibody and vaccine approaches failed to neutralize and protect from infection with CoVs using the novel spike protein. On the basis of these findings, we synthetically re-derived an infectious full-length SHC014 recombinant virus and demonstrate robust viral replication both in vitro and in vivo. Our work suggests a potential risk of SARS-CoV re-emergence from viruses currently circulating in bat populations.
