Good News about COVID-19

 

Thomas T. Siler, M.D. has a very good column at American Thinker.  He opens with this:

Now that we have had 18 months to “slow the spread” it is time to take stock of the pandemic. We have learned many good things that the media and our pandemic managers rarely report. Most fundamentally, we do not need to be afraid of COVID-19 anymore. The media and some government health authorities are still pushing hysteria and fear, but that should not prevail.

And he closes his column with:

We do not need to be afraid of COVID-19 anymore. Let’s begin to end the hysteria and fear. The worst is over and we are transitioning to endemic status which means a low level of cases and deaths.

We will have many fewer deaths if we start to treat the infection early now with the available outpatient treatments. We should resist further attempts at lockdowns and mask mandates as neither worked. We know exactly whom to protect—the elderly and those with chronic health problems. That’s where we should concentrate our energies.

Thankfully, children have very little risk and do not need masks at school or vaccinations. Variants will come but will not send us back into a situation like last year.

Can our pandemic managers take some of this useful information and transform it into helpful public health policies from this point forward? Or is there another agenda behind unending hysteria, fear, and the constant push for 100% vaccination? That remains to be seen. For now, let's celebrate the good news.

Dr. Siler’s column is here.  As to his closing question: “is there another agenda behind unending hysteria, fear, and the constant push for 100% vaccination?”  Well, here’s the photograph from Australia that we posted the other day:

COVID and ivermectin: who do you trust?

 

The FDA warns us not to take ivermectin for COVID.  Cleveland.com reported on that warning, which states that the FDA “has not approved the drug for that purpose” [my emphasis].The same can be said for a cocktail of hydroxychloroquine and zinc; that’s why a prescription is called “off-label.”

On the other hand, American Partisan links to various inexpensive over-the-counter or readily available therapeutics that are effective in mitigating symptoms of the WuFlu. Ivermectin tops the list.  Ivermectin has been taken extensively in, for example, India, with a high success rate;  Daniel Horowitz reports here.

Good news: treatments for COVID

 

I am posting part of this American Thinker piece, as the information would appear to be under-reported in the mainstream media. Robert Jones provides an interesting historical context for what he refers to as “the Semmelweis Reflex” – establishment resistance to new medical solutions.  He concludes:

. . . an international group of medical experts from 16 countries have recognized ivermectin (which is typically used in combination with other drugs) as a safe and effective treatment for COVID. According to Dr. Pierre Kory, who is the President of the FLCCC, “This group is the latest in the growing number of experts from around the world who recognize Ivermectin’s role in fighting this pandemic.”  Dr. Pierre Kory continued, “The BIRD [British Ivermectin Recommendation Development] panel used the highest form of medical evidence, a meta-analysis, to evaluate data from over 20 trials of Ivermectin before concluding it’s safe and effective for use in treating COVID-19.” 

Given the compelling evidence that there is a close to 100% cure for COVID, it is mindboggling that a person who tests COVID positive will not be offered any medical assistance.  Very recently, on March 11, 2021, Dr. Peter McCullough testified to the Texas Senate HHS Committee about this very issue.  He states, “patients actually think that the virus is untreatable and so what happens is they go out to get a diagnosis… [and] it says here you’re COVID positive, go home, is there any treatment, no, is there any resources I can call, no, any referral lines/hotlines, no, any research hotlines, no.”  He continues, “that is the standard of care in the United States, and if we go to any of our testing centers today in the United States I bet that is the standard of care.”

In short, what we have here is a near complete failure to respond to the COVID crisis due to our reflex-like tendency to reject new knowledge (i.e., that COVID can be effectively treated) because it contradicts the established belief that COVID cannot be effectively treated.  The federal government has failed because it has not evaluated possible treatments for COVID and put its imprimatur on the treatments that are safe and effective.  Also, the majority of physicians have failed because they have not put into practice the safe and effective treatments that now exist for COVID. . . .
