Interesting points. Strange(evil?) indeed how they wanted to flatten the curve and then any preventative medicine was banned, doctors fired and deleted while some really large pharmaceutical companies promised a cure, but you still have to wear masks, shut the economy and get boosters forever.
Indeed. I need a proverbial shower just thinking about how asinine our national response has been. Again, if it was a worldwide emergency that needed immediate action they should have been testing everything that could be reasonably considered a treatment. But they did the opposite. And worse than that, they intentionally put out very bad studies which seemed to me to be an effort to cast a pall over the idea that some combination of readily available generic medicines might be very useful. For example a few doctors were finding success with HCQ+ and told the world how to administer it and when (early upon diagnoses or first symptoms). And instead of running with that, others did trials using just HCQ (without the vitamins and minerals and antibiotics that the doctors were using) and gave it to very sick ICU patients and said "see, it doesn't work".
That's not science. Science is repeating the exact same methods and exact same controls to prove and predict the outcome to some high degree of confidence. That is why the FDA normally requires all new drugs to go through multiple randomized clinical trials. Usually two Phase 3 trials, which come after multiple Phase I and Phase II trials. They are usually very highly controlled to repeat results - they can't just change the protocols at whim and call it "science".
