Perhaps HCQ!

The Indian Council of Medical Research, under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended chemoprophylaxis with hydroxychloroquine (400 mg twice on day 1, then 400 mg once a week thereafter) for asymptomatic health-care workers treating patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, and for asymptomatic household contacts of confirmed cases.

2

The document states “its use in prophylaxis is derived from available evidence of benefit as treatment and supported by preclinical data”.

In the US they would find a way to put that in a pretty package and charge $300 for it!

They say "Follow the Science" right?

What they call "cases" is actually the long-held scientific evidence of herd immunity.

That's right. In April of 2020 we began to be inundated with the fear porn of "cases."

The appearance of "cases" is scientific evidence that we had already turned the corner on the disease.

In April, deaths were nearly a flat line while the line of "cases" skyrocketed, you know people having symptoms, sick for a while and recovered, that is what they pointed to as if they were deaths.

Why? Because the disease is not as virulent as they had planned and it was inconvenient when they didn't have enough deaths to make their fear porn worthwhile.

So they turned "cases" into something we all needed to fear and they began to count the "cases" as if they were deaths, to the point of nearly ignoring the deaths.

If you listen to any newscast, they nearly tremble verbally over the high number of "cases."

Well, it turns out "cases-fear-porn" was not doing the job because we began asking about "cases," so in October they changed the true scientific definition of cases meaning "herd immunity" to "we will reach herd immunity when everyone gets vaccinated."

Somehow the true definition of "cases" magically disappeared.

How is that bonafide science?

It is NOT science of any kind.

The definition change is solely geared to fit their narrative of fear porn.

It was the only way they could force us, through fear, to eventually take the vaccine when the demise of the disease actually began back in April.

So, why do we need a vaccine for a disease that was in demise within four months of it's appearance? I hate being lied to.

Somehow this medicine packet costing only $2 did not get even a mention in the article. India also has very few obese people while the US is the most obese country of any size in the world. When I see these two very impactful reasons for India’s lowering Covid death rate, I don’t believe that the authors are sincere.

You don’t think Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin over the counter help?

Drinking lots of gin & tonics, inherited from the Raj, will cure whatever ails you.

“Perhaps HCQ!”

Not as good as Ivermectin, but BOTH DRUGS make Trump’s point, which is that we should be looking at OPTIONS, rather than palliative care for people with the virus.

Regarding masks, other studies have shown little correlation between mask mandates and mask compliance on the spread of Covid-19

Mask is all about compliance with government dictates.

We Americans have for too long had an baked in sense of individualism.

The Left is working hard to drive that out of us.

It rubs the lotion on its skin. It does this whenever it is told.'

It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

We are being pushed, prodded and coerced in to being compliant little robots. If we fail to comply we are stared at, mocked, fined or jailed.

The Left needs us to comply with their most arcane and silly dictates with out question.

Mask wearing is a test exercise to see just how compliant we are.

...or anyone else with half a brain. I saw a video of an Indian family “bathing” unperturbed in the Ganges river while dead bodies floated by.

Hydroxy combo/Ivermectin - promote them in Australia and the MSM will go after you:

18 Nov 2020: Guardian: Push to oust Liberal MP Craig Kelly gathers pace: ‘It’s awful to be the laughing stock of the country’
Grassroots groups in the Sydney seat of Hughes say enthusiasm is building as they reject Kelly’s climate change denial and unsupported Covid claims
by Anne Davies
What do supporting hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for Covid-19 and climate change denialism have in common?

Apart from a dwindling body of scientific support for either of them, the two causes have united some of the world’s most conservative politicians, from the outgoing US president, Donald Trump, to the Australian federal MP Craig Kelly...

The member for Hughes uses his Facebook page almost daily to champion studies of hydroxycholoquine from obscure journals in Bulgaria and India...
Kelly passes over large studies in respected journals and advice from the World Health Organization...

How a drug became a rightwing cause is puzzling. Either it works or it doesn’t...

2 Feb: Sydney Morning Herald: Coalition heads off push to condemn Craig Kelly’s ‘dangerous and irresponsible’ comments
by David Crowe
The Morrison government has resisted a push to slap down Liberal backbencher Craig Kelly after the outspoken MP supported calls from a Brazilian medical association to use unproven drugs to treat COVID-19...

Mr Kelly’s posts include a recent call on the media to start “reporting the truth” because the Medical Association of Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil had recommended chloroquine and ivermectin...

Mr Kelly told the party room of the work of an Australian immunologist, Emeritus Professor Robert Clancy of the University of Newcastle.

Professor Clancy told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age he had not met Mr Kelly and did not agree with everything he said but thought he was “absolutely right” on hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.
“Early treatment is highly effective. Vaccines are critically important. They should not be seen as mutually exclusive. You need them both,” he said.

Professor Clancy said the evidence showed hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin were safe and should be used.
“But they mustn’t be used instead of a vaccine. They need to be used together,” he said.

note the MSM doesn’t even accurately describe what Kelly talks about, namely Hydroxy, not chloroquine, plus zinc and azithromycin.
