“I don’t understand why lost revenue of all the other sectors of the economy means nothing (and they are suffering immensely) and only Big Pharma counts”

Check out the profit margins on Pharma vs other businesses...

Keeping people sick and suffering from chronic conditions (kicked off by vaccines) keeps them as Pharma customers.

What a idiotic comment.

See: Hannah Poling case and MTHFR test, which genetic condition Dr Stephanie Cave believes is possessed by a third of the population.

Viral treatments such as MATH+ therapy can be used to treat any “vaccine preventable” illness, precisely why they are such a massive threat to the medical establishment.

I wonder how many people in these medical threads work for big Pharma.

“I’m not very enthused with any treatment in a hospital and wouldn’t want to trade a home for it.”

i feel the same way after talking to a a PA affiliated with my local hospital ... at the time, they basically offered no curative treatment, just “supportive” care while they watched you die ... i did find out they don’t use remdesivir because they said it didn’t work ...

i wouldn’t go to a hospital unless they i knew they could and would treat with regeneron monoclonal antibodies (HCQ and Ivermectin aren’t even going to be an option at a hospital), otherwise, i’d have a local doctor on tap that would prescribe HCQ or Ivermectin at the first sign of COVID, though the problem with that is that the tests can give both positive and negative results, so you would want a doctor willing to treat based on clinical observation and judgement in addition to test results, including willingness to retest ...

“I wonder how many people in these medical threads work for big Pharma.”

i’m pretty sure most of us posting on this thread are shills for Big Pharma ... I know i am because the pay is so good ... in fact, we’re everywhere for that very reason ... and i specifically joined FR over 11 years ago and have started 286 threads and made 34,947 replies since then to establish my cover as a shill for Big Pharma to earn those big bucks! ... how am i doing so far?

It is wearying seeing the same ridicule of alternative and complementary medicine, when the conventional, at least for chronic care, has been an absolute disaster for decades. Oh well.

A real simple cv19 treatment step would be for all the obese and pre-diabetic people to stop stuffing their faces, and reduce their potential co-morbidities. Fat chance of that happening.

There are successful, proven, simple integrative treatment protocols for early and late stage cv19. Combined with prevention by keeping vitD blood levels up, and we could easily be screaming from the rooftops that the pandemic is over, it is a casedemic, it is completely treatable, and the shutdowns, masks and distancing need to end stat.

If Trump mentioned it as a possible treatment, it’s a given it will be attacked not only as being “ineffective”, but also “deadly”.

Yup. The guy’s a monument to wretched excess but he made it through. Think it took a little over a week in the hospital, tho.

trump was not treated with convalescent plasma, but was given regeneron’s monoclonal antibodies (as well as remdesivir) but trump attributed his recovery within 24 hours to the monoclonal antibodies, and subsequently authorized a Federal program to pay for and distribute a million doses of monoclonal antibodies for anyone who may need them in the future ...

I listen to a NYC station on weekdays to hear Rush. They’re constantly running ads urging people who’ve recovered from the virus to give plasma.

“Where ‘n He’ll ya get that? Leisure World?”

the same place they got the word “blood”for blood ... it’s a medical term: convalescent is the medical term that means someone who is recovering from an illness, thus convalescent plasma means the liquid portion of blood from someone recovering from an illness:

“trump was not treated with convalescent plasma”

He doesn’t have to be treated with whatever. He just has to mention it in a positive light for the establishment to attack whatever is in question - it’s resistance for resistance sake.
