I never said the vaccine was safe and effective. not once. I said it was a risk benefit calculation for every individual and still do. For the native disease and delta variant I believe it saved lives in the high risk population. I was not and am not a proponent for under 30 or low risk individuals or for the current variant.

Hcq did not work. used it extensively not impressed and I note even the most rabid ivermectin fans no longer mention it. Not impressed with ivermectin - the data just isn’t there and I did t give it to my own family when they got covid. Even if it has mild activity we have far better treatments. What does work and I have been a proponent of are steroids and monoclonal antibodies. Data is less good on paxlovid and I don’t recommend it for low risk individuals and mild disease - and with omicron the overwhelming majority is mild. It may have a place in high risk individuals. But it is amazing how I hear all the things You supposedly said and never did in these threads.

You might want to read RFK Jr's The Real Anthony Fauci. The list of citations from highly qualified scientists, researchers, etc. is extremely impressive. The book was the #1 best seller for many weeks, and no one has even attempted to refute it because they can't. The disparagement of hydroxychloriquine and Ivermectin was because they are both cheap and effective; not outrageously expensive which only resulted in multiple billions in profits for two Big Pharma companies. The only countries in Africa that had many deaths from Covid-19 were Egypt and South Africa where hydroxychloriquine and Ivermectin cocktails were not approved. In the poorest areas of Africa, and in India, those cocktails of drugs were widely approved and used to great effect. I have a friend who is a missionary in Kenya. She told me the the hydroxychloriquine or Ivermectin cocktails of drugs were OTC for $1.50-2.50; and they worked extremely well.
