Facebook’s stock price and earnings are up with the lockdowns:

Same for Google (Alphabet):

Same for Apple:

If people are unemployed and/or working at home it benefits the so-called “Masters of the Universe” who also control social media, search engines, smart phones, etc.

Why would they want to lose money by allowing a generic treatment to put an end to all this extra revenue?

127

your position on this is easily justified thanks!

131

how about an epidemiologist from oxford?

138

this is too solid to dispute.

139

Which one of the “Frontline Doctors” fits that description?

You shouldn’t take medical advise from leftist liberals, twitter or the MSM. There was a racial diverse number of doctors in that press conference saying the same thing but the MSM profiled the Nigerian doctor to attack and insult. :roll_eyes:

And there it is, The Conspiracy.

Always there waiting to explain it all.

Or maybe the bloodsexdemonmagic doctor is incidentally Nigerian?

Why didn’t you just admit from the beginning you supported the conclusions of the video?

Everyone here knew you did.

It was indeed a game being played…and everyone knew that too.

I don’t…I take my medical advice from actual doctors who specialize in the fields in which they are giving said advice…

So, you feel that the MSM profiled Dr. Immanuel because she was from Nigeria, and not because of her insane theories about lizardmen, demon-sex and alien DNA? Interesting…

Alex Jones has a whole website to pump crazy on. Plenty of other places for all flavors of crazy.

This weak ass new generation of conspiracy theorists have it made already.

Back in my day we had to jack a giant antennae to the house and twaddle the ham radio to learn the truth about the reptilians.

No they profiled her whackjob ideas about illness and demon sex, and alien-laced vaccines that turn everyone into atheists.

Which would have been fine…people can believe whatever whackjob things they like…except this spoke DIRECTLY to her credibility as a doctor…because she was substituting whackjob beliefs for medical science.

We’re supposed to take her seriously on HCQ when she believes too much demon sex gives women cramps?

As for the rest…as I pointed out, not a one of them was an actual front line doctor…so their credibility was called into question too.

Since none of them were front line doctors…what other reason might there be for singing the same tune on HCQ?

Could it possibly be something to do with their tie-in with the sponsors of the event- the Tea Patriots.

Or the dark PAC money they received?

Scott Adams presents an interesting analysis of treatment alternatives.

His viewpoint is that the question of treatment is basically risk management. Using the HCQ, zinc, azithromycin combination has very little risk of hurting patients and the cost is very low. There is very little downside risk and some evidence that it could significantly reduce the risk of death, which a huge upside potential.

If the mainstream media and the social media are successful in preventing the use of these drugs, and later tests prove they really are effective in reducing the death rate, then the media are potentially responsible for tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths. If the are correct that there is no benefit, then it means people avoided spending ~$20 for treatment that had no value.

To be fair to CNN, which Adams uses an example of the anti-Trump media, they did publish a story about a study that supports the use of the drug combination:

Are Twitter and Facebook going to ban CNN for this slip up?

Fox Corps stock is up too… so?

I would like to see how this argument tests for mdma, shrooms or tarot readings in public classrooms.

Also, is anyone yet willing to show how an antimalarial and an antibiotic ‘activate’ zinc to fight off a non-biotic?

No one is forcing people to take the drug combination.

I would point out that there is no scientifically rigorous study on the use of ventilators for COVID patients and ample evidence that any benefits are small at best. The media is quiet on that issue even after creating a panic about the alleged ventilator shortage early on in epidemic.

151

this actually seems a good idea.

152

At the beginning I always said if the patient and doctor want to use HCQ in treatment, and the doctor follows protocols for off label use (meaning informed consent for patients), have at it.

The problem was touting the drug as a cure or a preventative when there has consistently been no evidence of that in studies.

And again with the Henry Ford study.

That study suffered two flaws…it wasn’t randomized and worse, it wasn’t controlled. Most of the patients in the HCQ group were also given steroids (known to have benefit against COVID)…those in the “control group” were not.

So the study did not control for the effect of HCQ alone.

This is the problem with doing science at the speed of the pandemic.

Science is complex…takes time to understand the results of complex clinical trials but in the race to get news out, things get cocked up.

153

I missed the part where the media touts ventilators as a cure.

In fact many media outlets reported early on that if a patient needed to be on a ventilator, his chances of survival were very low.

“science is complex…takes time to understand…,“

— except climate science. the science is already “in”
