COVID UPDATE: What is the truth?

Throughout this “pandemic” we have been fed an unending series of lies, distortions and disinformation by the media, the public health officials, medical bureaucracies (CDC, FDA and WHO) and medical associations. Physicians, scientists, and experts in infectious treatments who formed associations designed to develop more effective and safer treatments, were regularly demonized, harassed, shamed, humiliated, and experience a loss of licensure, loss of hospital privileges and, in at least one case, ordered to have a psychiatric examination.

Anthony Fauci was given essentially absolute control of all forms of medical care during this event, including insisting that drugs he profited from be used by all treating physicians. He ordered the use of masks, despite at first laughing at the use of masks to filter a virus. Governors, mayors, and many businesses followed his orders without question.

The draconian measures being used, masking, lockdowns, testing of the uninfected, use of the inaccurate PCR test, social distancing, and contact tracing had been shown previously to be of little or no use during previous pandemics, yet all attempts to reject these methods were to no avail. Some states ignored these draconian orders and had either the same or fewer cases, as well as deaths, as the states with the most strictly enforced measures. Again, no amount of evidence or obvious demonstration along these lines had any effect on ending these socially destructive measures. Even when entire countries, such as Sweden, which avoided all these measures, demonstrated equal rates of infections and hospitalization as nations with the strictest, very draconian measures, no policy change by the controlling institutions occurred. No amount of evidence changed anything.

Great paper. Thanks for posting. I just started reading it when this popped up, something I have not seen or known about before...

We are now witnessing a growing number of excellent scientific papers, written by top experts in the field, being retracted from major medical and scientific journals weeks, months and even years after publication. A careful review indicates that in far too many instances the authors dared question accepted dogma by the controllers of scientific publications—especially concerning the safety, alternative treatments or efficacy of vaccines. These journals rely on extensive adverting by pharmaceutical companies for their revenue. Several instances have occurred where powerful pharmaceutical companies exerted their influence on owners of these journals to remove articles that in any way question these companies’ products.
Worse still is the actual designing of medical articles for promoting drugs and pharmaceutical products that involve fake studies, so-called ghostwritten articles. Richard Horton is quoted by the Guardian as saying “journals have devolved into information laundering operations for the pharmaceutical industry.” Proven fraudulent “ghostwritten” articles sponsored by pharmaceutical giants have appeared regularly in top clinical journals, such as JAMA, and New England Journal of Medicine—never to be removed despite proven scientific abuse and manipulation of data.
Ghostwritten articles involve using planning companies whose job it is to design articles containing manipulated data to support a pharmaceutical product and then have these articles accepted by high-impact clinical journals, that is, the journals most likely to affect clinical decision making of doctors. Further, they supply doctors in clinical practice with free reprints of these manipulated articles. The Guardian found 250 companies engaged in this ghostwriting business. The final step in designing these articles for publication in the most prestigious journals is to recruit well recognized medical experts from prestigious institutions, to add their name to these articles. These recruited medical authors are either paid upon agreeing to add their name to these pre-written articles or they do so for the prestige of having their name on an article in a prestigious medical journal.

In my career, I wrote quite a few engineering R&D articles that went through a legitimate peer-review process. It was very tough but fair. This vile corruption of the peer-review and publication process in the pharma industry is very dismaying but not surprising. It helps perfectly explain the virulent stands against all alternative treatments of COVID using repurposed, cheap, and off-label drugs.

I was absolutely disgusted by the FDA's inane, corrupt statement “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.” If you want to observe the FDA corruption, watch the series "Dopesick" on Hulu. You see how the FDA regulator approved the Purdue Pharma Oxycontin as a non-addictive opiate and then went to work for Purdue "earning" a huge paycheck.

NohSpinZone : " Really long paper but worth a glance - even if it's the damning conclusion.."

(From the Article): " For the first time in history medical treatment, protocols are not being formulated based on the experience of the physicians treating the largest number of patients successfully,
but rather individuals and bureaucracies that have never treated a single patient
—including Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, EcoHealth Alliance, the CDC, WHO, state public health officers and hospital administrators. "(Emphasis Mine)

(My Comment) : I am concerned about the collusion between non-physician private citizen funding millionaires, government funding agencies (NIH/FDA/CDC), and Big Pharma.
To coerce and mandate a compulsory, nation-wide biologic injection after only 4/12 months research,
and then attempting to hide the research for 75 years is unforgivable, as well as ignoring side effects and complications.
This issue is compounded by the International WHO, which accepted Chinese government statements at face value that covid-19 was not transmissible human-to-human,
despite knowing that 'gain of function' research was being funded and conducted at the Wuhan virology facility by private and governmental funding sources.
Incidentally, there has yet still been no independent international investigation as to the cause of this pandemic.

Yes, the paper should be read in its entirety to understand the medical crisis, the players, and how the federal agencies, designed to protect us, responded.
Understand that this is the official governmental agencies response to criticism in its handling of covid.

Gene Eric :" Add the likes of Johns Hopkins to your collusion list "

True that !
But don't forget the research funding in other medical concerns are controlled by NIH/FDA/CDC network,
with supplemental private funding from millionaires who may have their own pet medical projects
Professional physicians who work in other medical areas rely on the expertise of specialists, and if those specialists are already compromised,
you can generally assume that they are espousing medical truth.
To my mind, the covid response by most in the medical community was basically a medical 'Buffalo Jump', or a 'Daisy Chain' of relying on already known specialists
