Operation Warp Speed swept away administrative roadblocks to production and distribution during an emergency --- giving the researchers and government health agencies a clear path to work their miracles.
Had they done so, and gone with the early treatment options that were being pointed out, (IVM and HCQ regimens) I believe the whole issue would have been knocked down before it became something the Media could pimp Panic all over.
That Trump had mentioned Hydroxychloroquine before the Medical Establishment retorted with all sorts of studies constructed to show failure of the regimen (incomplete regimen, lacking Azithromycin, zinc, or both (the Zinc supplementation was particularly critical, especially in a older cohort who had been eating "healthy diets" because of LDL levels lacking in red meat--the primary dietary source for zinc), administered AFTER patients were hospitalized instead of at the first signs of symptoms). Recall, the HCQ (or Ivermectin) only helped transport the Zinc into the type 1 pneumocytes and epithelial airway cells, it was the Zinc that stopped viral replication, something known from the original SARS in 2005, and that had been tested
in vitro and
in vivo.
Thus, the Medical Establishment, with the full cooperation of Mass and Social Media, denigrated the HCQ early onset treatment with vigor. Had there been such a treatment approved, there would have been no need for a vaccine: for under $20, virtually anyone could be cured. (The Ivermectin, doxycycline, and Zinc regimen was as or more effective, when used as an early onset treatment, and even beyond the first few days, and was similarly cheap.)
Instead, the Medical Establishment poo-poohed both regimens, published papers that "proved" the regimens (given late or incompletely, or both) to be "ineffective", and pushed in hospital treatments like Remdesivir (with a host of known adverse effects, some lethal) and the up and coming "vaccines".
Keep in mind that when monoclonal antibodies were shown to be effective even in later stages, it was the Biden Administration that locked down the supply, even as they demanded that people get the jabs, or lose their jobs, ability to travel, and were on the verge of demanding "Vaccine Passports"--one bridge too far for an already pandemic weary population.
Pfizer, Moderna, the CDC, NIH and HHS fu*ked up, compounded the fu*kups with its booster approvals ---- and lie about both to this day.
That was no f*ckup m'am.
There is no way that was not all intentional.
You do not construct a study to prove something won't work unless you are out to do so.
The focus of true scientific inquiry would replicate the conditions and use the full regimen as used by those who made those claims to see if their results would be repeated. The question to be answered would be one of "does it work if it is used like they said?" (early onset stage (first sign of symptoms), dosages, etc. would have been identical)
As far as conducting studies to find out if it would work, as advertised, that was not done, and by the time that data was gathered, the regimens had been loudly 'discredited', banned even (people I know who were taking HCQ for Lupus or RA had a hard time getting their prescriptions filled)--the 'supply chain problem' likely ordered from the top.
There was a lot of money to be made on shots and treatments that were questionable at best, on a Global basis. The politicians saw an opportunity to expand their powers and for some, their portfolios and net worth, too, even as ordinary Americans in our "service economy" were losing all they owned. One infusion of Remdesivir would cost as much as it would to treat 150 (or far more) patients with the early onset regimens. So patients were sent home to get
really sick so they could be admitted, and their insurance companies milked while the hospitals raked in Federal bounties for admittance, as an ordinary patient, or with a bonus for ICU treatment. I recall $37,000.00 for the latter, and no specification of how long the patient had to survive there.
Then there is the question of dying
OF COVID or
WITH it, and numerous accounts of people who died of massive trauma being written up as COVID victims.
Mo' money!
The Biden administration further corrupted the OWS objective by expanding the definition of eligible for "emergency" vaccines from a small, well-defined subset of Americans to all Americans, including two year old toddlers, and removed the private physician's input by mandating this "emergency" vaccine under threat of unemployment and limited travel.
Recall, the complicit Media (now saturated with drug ads) helped a lot, pimping panic on a daily, if not quarter hourly basis.
"Emergency" measures only added to the body count, and while those measures made no sense, medically, introducing the virus to populations via infected patients added to captive populations with high comorbidities, enhancing the body count at the expense of folks who may have had years to live, but were all eating "healthy" red meat (Zinc) deficient diets as well, another set-up from the Medical Establishment via cholesterol concerns that could have been avoided by buying better, lean cuts of meat.
Shots to children )the group most NOT at risk from COVID, and more so from adverse effects of the injections) should never have happened, but it expanded the population base for billable patients.
Ka-ching! (money, again).
The Biden administration took ---- and continue --- these actions even though they have had information unavailable in Dec. 2020: --- mounting evidence of the medical side effects and inefficacy of the drugs they force on all Americans.
...And did so in the face of mounting evidence that the treatments would have worked (and still will for those who need them, but only if they can be had early in the course of the disease). Note that the FDA hasn't yet backed down on HCQ (afaik), but Ivermectin is now approved for off-label use.
We should be demanding, in one voice, the formal end to the medical emergency and termination of all liability shields for the drug companies --- and by extension --- government health agencies
Anything else is a waste of time.
I agree, wholeheartedly.
Reinstate those doctors, nurses, etc. who had the guts to stand up to a corrupt system and lost their jobs for it.
Had they not persisted, we might still be under the illusions fostered by the FDA, CDC, NIAID, and other 'experts' who lied from day one, and any who profited from their deceptions should be stripped of those assets and penalized further: stripped of their licenses, maybe jail time, and politicians who were complicit should be (at a minimum) banned from any public employ, unless they are picking up trash in ditches (discarded masks?) wearing an orange jumpsuit.
The American taxpayers, and indeed, people all around the world, got ripped off at best, at worst they paid with their lives.
But back to whether Trump was complicit in that? I seriously doubt it. Measures he took for providing treatment areas and equipment, etc. were predicated on advice he was given, on claims that current resources were woefully inadequate, from deploying hospital ships, field hospitals, and producing ventilators on a virtual wartime footing, claims made often by politicians, and driven by the medical community. He is a businessman, not a doctor nor was he familiar with the actual needs of those pols pimping panic, based in part on projections from the medical experts he relied on.
Once again, it appears he got stabbed in the back by people who were supposed to be apolitical, and who should have been giving advice based on good science instead of lying to him and the World.
