What do you mean by’early therapies’ for a ‘novel’ virus?
Trump announced the first tests on Mar 6, with ivermectin trials starting Mar 15, and Trump promoting trials of HCQ on April 7, while also suggesting UVC lighting for disinfecting. By August the 1st over 400 drugs being trialed along with Monoclonal antibodies as 60million were tested with 10% positive and the US became a world leader in ventilator and PPE availability. The FDA rejected HCQ, ivermectin trials continued, better tests were developed, vaccines entered phase 2 and 3. Dexamethasone was found to be harmful if given early but great if given late. Tocilizumab saved lives if given with 24 hours of ICU admission. Baricitinib and colchicine were also found to be useful. Trials continued. Trump received black box use of Regeneron Oct 2, after he and the Mrs. tested positive. HCQ, ivermectin, the aforementioned 400 drugs and more, plus vaccines and experimental use of Regeneron was a result of Trump’s Operation Warp Speed. A month later, vaccines were on line and standard of care treatments were refined to reflect the latest research.
Now all this took 9 months. I’m not sure how you can say there was ‘medical neglect’ with a straight face unless you’re talking governors seeding care homes with infected.
Here at 12 months, we have about 9 vaccines worldwide, 3 active and 2 more in trials in the US, plus UK’s Oxford vaccine. It’s historic. It’s remarkable. I look around the world and I’m still seeing us as ‘at’ early. Even early, early. How early depends on how fast we can vaccinate 80% of the heavily affected world and/or find a magic pill to pop at first symptoms to keep one out of the hospital, so we can put a lid on mutations, open up the world economy and go back to controlling isolated outbreaks instead of a wildfire.
here’s the NIH study on ivermectin, completed Oct 2020, about six months after the trial began. Ivermectin in humans as a prophylactic hasn’t been studied :

Here is the FLCCC protocol

Here is Dr Pierre Kory MD’s discussion of the MATH+ hospital protocol, starting about minute 48:

The FLCCC team continues to look at data, but they have been using the MATH+ protocol with over 95% success even for serious cases.
Speaking of the Houston area, with the exception of the hospital using the MATH+ protocol, the others are doing very little in terms of therapeutics. I know this from an inside source working in the ICU at one hospital in the chain, and another in the same chain in a different part of the city. Yes, medical neglect and refusal to use the therapeutics available despite the family of one patient begging the attending physician to offer treatment. The same physician then pressuring the family to move the patient they have killed through neglect into comfort care, else they won’t allow family to visit. Despicable, vile, arrogant, egotistical are good words to describe the nature of most of the medical personnel involved.
