Pharmacy Board loosens restrictions on Hydroxychloroquine prescriptions, reversing course

“In a few months, we may discover places where this combination could have saved a significant number of lives, but we had deaths because it was not used,” Hall told The Texan.

Additionally, he is concerned about “collusion between the pharmacy board and pharmaceutical companies who want to prevent the use of an inexpensive drug while they develop a new, expensive drug.”

Study on early hydroxychloroquine treatment of COVID-19 patients shows 98.7% cure rate

Administration of the HCQ+AZ combination before COVID-19 complications occur is safe and associated with a very low fatality rate in patients.

BREAKING: Trump says he’s been taking hydroxychloroquine

‘I’m still here’: Trump reveals he’s been taking Hydroxychloroquine against Covid-19

Trump had mentioned the drug in the early days of the pandemic, apparently citing the research of a famous if controversial French physician who used it to treat Covid-19 patients, and has hosted a Democrat state legislator who recovered from the virus with the help of HCQ.

‘Swedish model’ of no-lockdown response to Covid-19 worked, its architect says

Despite some critical voices from the scientific community, the strategy has been highly popular among Swedes, with over half of them saying enough was being done. The government pretty much asked citizens to go on with their lives, unless they had symptoms of Covid-19, and to voluntarily take precautionary measures where possible.

On the downside, the death toll in Sweden stands at over 3,600. Half of those aged over 70 died in elder-care homes – a fact that the government acknowledges as a major failure on its part.

Will Coronavirus burn itself out ‘naturally’ before a vaccine is ready? Former WHO oncologist thinks so

The Dengvaxia Disaster Was Twenty Years in the Making—What Will Happen With a Rushed COVID-19 Vaccine?

Dengue fever is a common disease in more that 120 countries and, like Coronavirus, has been the target for a vaccine for many years. The development and licensure of Dengvaxia® vaccine by Sanofi spanned more than 20 years and cost more than 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. But the development of the vaccine turned out to be tricky. Dengue vaccine antibodies can also make the infection worse, especially in infants and children who have never been exposed to the virus. The virus may actually use the antibodies created by the vaccine to spread the virus throughout the body. So an infection with dengue — when your blood already has antibodies in it — can actually enhance the disease resulting in deadly complications.

Despite the fact that Sanofi tested Dengvaxia in several large clinical trials with more than 30,000 kids globally and published the results in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, there were serious problems. According to epidemiologists who reviewed the data, the trials were riddled with “small inaccur­acies, missing data, and uncalculated risks.” Buried in those clinical trials was a disease enhancement safety signal, but industry and the World Health Organization (WHO) turned a blind eye to the problem, calling it a “theoretical possibility.” Dengvaxia was subsequently admini­ster­ed to thousands of children in the Philippines. It was reported last year that the deaths of approximately 600 children who received the vaccine are under investigation by the Public Attorney’s Office. The vaccine has been permanently banned in the country.

What is also very concerning is that even after Dengvaxia led to tragic injuries and deaths in the Philippines, the FDA moved forward and licensed the vaccine in the U.S.

Dengvaxia’s fallout was so dramatic that it even overrode the U.S. media’s customary whiteout of vaccine safety problems. As summarized by National Public Radio (NPR), the Philippines’ mass dengue vaccination program — implemented with “undue haste” — not only killed children but provoked protests, criminal investigations, indictments, revocation of the vaccine’s license in that country and a plummeting of parental confidence in vaccine safety from 82% to 21%.

Debunking the Covid-19 Narrative: Interview with molecular biologist Prof. Dolores Cahill

Prof. Dolores Cahill is a world-wide renowned immunologist, molecular biologist, and expert in high-throughput proteomics technology development and automation, and high-content protein arrays and their biomedical applications, including in biomarker discovery and diagnostics.

Prof. Cahill is speaking out against the Covid-19 lockdown by challenging the core claims made by govts and media about the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In the following interview she explains why lockdowns are the worst possible ‘treatment’ for dealing with this virus, why masks and social distancing will only sicken healthy people, and presents evidence that the virus was in fact tweaked in a laboratory setting…

Did The Lockdown Save Lives?

So how can we deal with this terror that befell us? One way is to figure out some aspect in which our sacrifice has been worth it, maybe not on net given the consequences, but surely some good has come out of this. If my email and feeds are correct, this is how many people have been justifying this. The psychology here is rooted in the sunk-cost fallacy: when you commit resources to something, even when it is a proven error, you tend to find justifications by doubling down rather than just admitting the mistake.

Dat zie je trouwens ook bij dat windmolen fiasco!

Did the lockdown save lives? It’s possible but not yet proven, and the evidence so far points to a negative answer. No matter how much we try to spin this in our heads, no matter how much we want to believe that something good has come out of this catastrophe, we are all going to have someday to deal with the terrible but likely reality that it was all for naught.

I conclude with the words of the great physician who is credited with smallpox eradication, Donald A. Henderson (1928-2016).

The interest in quarantine reflects the views and conditions prevalent more than 50 years ago, when much less was known about the epidemiology of infectious diseases and when there was far less international and domestic travel in a less densely populated world. It is difficult to identify circumstances in the past half-century when large-scale quarantine has been effectively used in the control of any disease. The negative consequences of large-scale quarantine are so extreme (forced confinement of sick people with the well; complete restriction of movement of large populations; difficulty in getting critical supplies, medicines, and food to people inside the quarantine zone) that this mitigation measure should be eliminated from serious consideration.

EEn prettige en moedige open brief:

Open brief aan Mark Rutte

Ook keek ik naar het interview met Rob Elens. Rob Elens is huisarts uit het Limburgse Meijel en hij vertelt in dit interview over de goede resultaten met Hydroxychloroquine (een mond vol en niet te verwarren met chloroquine) in combinatie met zink, vitamine C en D en antibiotica. Hij testte deze combinatietherapie met succes op een tiental patiënten. Het maakte ziekenhuisopname overbodig, want mensen werden er gewoon beter van! Wat een fantastisch nieuws, vind je ook niet? Dit “wondermiddel” heeft hij overigens niet zelf verzonnen, maar hij heeft dit zijn patiënten voorgeschreven op basis van een onderzoek van Vladimir Zelenko, huisarts in Frankrijk, ondersteund door microbioloog Didier Raoult. Als je hun ervaringen mag geloven, worden er goede resultaten geboekt met deze combinatietherapie. Helaas kan ik niet op dit heugelijke feit met je toasten, want het mag inmiddels niet meer worden voorgeschreven. Dokter Elens is teruggefloten. Kun jij mij dit uitleggen? Want ik snap dit niet. Inmiddels is Rob Elens een petitie gestart om ervoor te zorgen dat dit middel weer mag worden voorgeschreven door de “eerste lijn hulpverleners”. Ik heb de petitie getekend, want ik wil graag dat mensen beter worden.
