Drip, drip, drip. Three years after the COVID-19 pandemic, more details are being revealed concerning the failure of federal public health officials to come clean about lingering safety issues with the COVID-19 vaccine.
Senate investigators have conclusively proved, for example, that Biden administration officials downplayed the risk of vaccine-induced myocarditis (heart inflammation) and failed to warn the public. Widespread and dangerous loss of trust in public health authorities is thus hardly unsurprising.

First of all, i have admitted that, in hindsight, many of our reactions to the virus were wrong. see post #54.
Second, if it was as readily obvious that the virus was not the threat it was made out to be, then why do you think our health care establishment and our politicians reacted the way they did?

Politicians are the trash of society. Your writing suggests you don’t know that. Why would the trash of society have any special knowledge others don’t?

Accusing politicians of being the ‘trash of society’ doesn’t answer the question of why they reacted to the pandemic as they did.
If you believe politicians based their actions on the knowledge they shared with the everyone else, then you’re saying that everyone else would have reacted the same way in imposing the pandemic protocols enacted by the politicians including the vaccines. How then do you condemn the actions of the politicians?
A good question. My take is it was a multi-pronged reaction.
The early news was so horrific (and, I believe, slanted unintentionally) that a response had to happen.
I also think our wonderful democrat/media complex tried to use the crisis to forward their authoritarian goals, plus their Trump derangement syndrome needed to cast it as his fault. The democrat governors wanted the economy to tank, Trump to fail, so they could take over. They never let a good crisis go to waste.
Then there is the group mass hysteria theory, which has a lot of merit. People simply did crazy things in a crazy time. It became far worse as a result.
I do know the dems used the mass hysteria to steal an election, so there is that too.
These things together and likely a few others to boot.

Excellent points. Too many want to see the responses to the virus as a huge conspiracy.
Have you read much about the Spanish Flu? Almost every book you read will end with a warning that it could happen again. Too many saw COVID-19 as a new Spanish Flu and they convince the politicians that drastic measures were needed to avoid that. Most politicians are risk averse. They followed that advice for far too long.
All you have is give us a single name of death caused hydroxychloroquine, or ivermectin. So far, you gave zilch, nada. Because you have no idea what you were talking about.
The FDA said case reports from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database, published medical literature and the American Association of Poison Control Centers National Poison Data System are reporting serious heart-related adverse events and death in patients.
“In 2021, a meta analysis of controlled trials of HCQ in hospitalized patients found an 11% increased mortality in those treated with HCQ”
“Nearly 17,000 people may have died after taking hydroxycholoroquine during the first wave of COVID...”
” Side effects from these drugs can be very serious and include irregular heart rhythms that can result in death.”
https://www.poison.org/articles/chloroquine-hydroxychloroquine
“Nearly 17,000 people across six countries may have died because they took hydroxychloroquine during the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, according to a study by French researchers.”
https://www.newsnationnow.com/health/hydroxychloroquine-17000-deaths/
“More than 100 Americans have died after taking the drug hydroxychloroquine to treat or prevent coronavirus.”
“Nearly 17,000 people may have died from hydroxychloroquine”
https://www.aol.com/nearly-17-000-people-may-211424152.html
“Since then, a meta-analysis of randomised trials showed that the drug’s use was associated with an 11% increase in the mortality rate.”
“Over 100 people in the U.S. died in the first half of 2020 after taking the anti-malarial medicine hydroxychloroquine...”
“Nearly 17,000 people may have died after taking hydroxycholoroquine during the first wave of Covid-19, according to a study by French researchers.”
“Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) recommended by physicians for curing Covid-19 has been linked to nearly 17,000 deaths, according to a new study as quoted by media reports.”
“More than 100 Americans have died after taking hydroxychloroquine...”
That enough? I can get more. Within the above entries are numerous country’s studies, news agencies, and governmental organizations in the health field doing or reporting the research to determine the safety of hydroxycholoroquine. How could you possibly miss them unless you didn’t look.
Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to stop doing your homework for you. There are many other things more important in the world than you. I’m out of this topic.

So repeating ad nauseam the same RETRACTED junk science about the “17000 deaths that COULD be caused by hydroxychloroquine” would make it the Truth for you, right? Are you terminally dishonnest or are you just dumb?
As to your headlines about “100 hydroxychloroquine deaths”, those are about, quote, “people who died in the US while taking hydroxychloroquine for treating Covid 19”. So those are Covid deaths, not hydroxychloroquine deaths. If you can’t understand the difference, re-read, with the finger. BTW, the source of this info, the FDA, states on its website that “the database is limited for a number of reasons, including the fact that reports and the causes of the events aren’t verified, and more than one drug may have been involved in an incident.”
But anyone who follows really the Covid research, instead of parroting the fake news, knows that the narrative that taking hydroxychloroquine for treating Covid causes tachycardia and death is totally junk, because tachycardia is caused by... COVID (not only acute Covid but also, wait for it, long Covid!).
In short, you continue to lie and lie because you can’t give a single name of any victim of hydroxychloroquine, of which billions of doses are safely used every year.
