“I wonder how much of that could have been prevented if patients had been allowed early access to therapeutics like ivermectin.”
Bigger picture, if the gov had issued vast quantities of ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, Vit D, Quercetin, and NAC, the whole pandemic outcome would probably have been very different. We may not have had to shut down the economy, not had to pump $5 trillion into the economy, not suffered high inflation for years, and not wiped out Americans’ savings.
Which it could easily have done.
Except that CoupFlu policy has NEVER been about public health.
But that wouldn’t have promoted communism.
