Comment Re:Critical thinking. (Score 1) 676

As opposed to the "confirmation bias" that a completely new biologic immune system modulation injection utilizing messenger RNA to code for an ACE2 spike receptor protein is somehow preferable to a drug with over 33 years of human administration and safety data. I worked for the clinical trial business for quite a while in my career. I don't take anything with less than a decade of safety data for any reason, no matter what the FDA, CDC or anyone else says. History and my experience in the pharmaceutical and medical sciences business has made me a skeptic of any claims that are not backed up by years of factual data. But everyone should be free to make their own choices, I am happy that many people have decided to get vaccinated, but it is your own choice and the consequences of the vaccine are part of it just like the consequences of relying on other medical and pharmaceutical protocols are others.

If you have an internet connection and can handle viewing data in an Excel spreadsheet with a bit of knowledge about clinical trial data and adverse event reporting it's very easy to cut to the chase and simply view the data for yourself and draw your own conclusion. https://vaers.hhs.gov/eSubDown... Review the data with your doctor if you are concerned with the information about adverse events reported in the data.

The green snowflakes never want to admit they helped accelerate the entire problem by trying to do away with the nuclear power industry. And now they want to act like a problem that they have a large hand in exacerbating is orders of magnitude worse than it is to garner more government control that always results in creating more problems than it solves. "Denier! Denier!" Stop with your infantile unscientific criticism of others and take a good look in the mirror (See Michael Schellenburger). I know climate change is very real and not a problem that we can't and won't deal with effectively in the next five or more decades. Increasing largely unaccountable and financially irresponsible control to the federal government or even worse global organizations won't do anything but slow the action needed to actually address the problems.

"Until we have a proven working vaccine" You mean like the influenza vaccine which has been available for many years and we still have an average annual death toll of between 30,000 to 60,000 people on average? And of course with CoVID-19 reporting and financial rewards for healtcare facilities and hospitals we don't even know how many people actually died of "influenza" this year.

Good post. I've read a lot as well. Dr. Zelenko's in NYC has now treated over 1000 patients with Hydroxychloroquine+Azithromycin+zinc and has had great success with this medication combination and protocol. But as you point out it appears that the medication provides effective prophylaxis to a point in the progresssion of the disease (advanced virual pneumonia). I haven't heard of any cases at this point (though I don't have inside clinical information) where late stage intubated patients were getting positive results from these meds. If you have any information to that effect please share. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

The WHO already had some known problems with their CoVID-19 tests and based on reporting from Politifact in a conversation with Dr. Fauci stated that no test kits were ever offered to the US / CDC. Furthermore the CDC has confirmed the protocol for disease testing in the case of US epidemic or pandemic currently preclude using test kits provided from external sources. Anyone can argue the wisdom or lack thereof in that protocol decision, but the CDC debates such things when making such serious decisions and it is their call on how best to protect the US population. Add to that the US internal manufacting/verification problems that transpired on domestically produced test kits and you wind up with the delay that we have experienced in ramping up volume of testing. From my perspective neither political party gets any significant bonus points from the testing timeline, but I do think the early travel ban from China and EU help Trump to some extent, mainly because his detractors were foolish enough to attack him as racist and Xenophobic only to have the virus outbreak ensue a few weeks later.

He not just rich, he's a multibillionaire and a Democrat. More of the stimulus/bailout money is going directly into his pocket than anyone else and the left keep voting people in who will simply make it easier for him to screw others in the name of "socialism". It ain't socialism it's corrupt capitalism which is what socialism really is anyway - not in theory but in practice.
