COVID Treatment Suppression Is Killing Americans
Townhall.com ^ | January 6, 2022 | Jonathan Emord

Posted on 01/06/2022 8:08:09 AM PST by Kaslin

Since its start, the Biden Administration has insisted the way to end the pandemic is vaccination alone, has censored communication about COVID treatments, and has used Biden’s bully pulpit and regulatory coercion to dissuade states, localities, physicians and pharmacists from making treatments available to those in need. That is a state sponsored policy of medical neglect which predictably and invariably leads to avoidable death.

State and local governments and physicians have received an unmistakable message from this Administration that they must encourage and administer COVID-19 vaccines and not dilute the vaccinate message with discussion of therapeutics. The choice to propagandize science in this way by granting an official imprimatur in favor of vaccination only and employing censorship against treatment messaging is costing lives every hour of every day. It is horrific maladministration, eerily similar to Ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo’s order to place infected patients back into nursing homes. It cannot be justified scientifically or morally.

Shortly after Biden took office in January of 2021, virologists and epidemiologists studying vaccine effectiveness began raising difficult questions: the vaccines might not provide lasting immunity; they might not be capable of preventing infection by variants; boosters might be required. Did the Biden Administration then pivot from exclusive reliance on vaccination to a more nuanced approach which encouraged rapid treatment for any who became ill? No. Increasingly thereafter evidence revealed that natural immunity provided at least as much protection as vaccination and that at least 50% of the nation was naturally immune. Did the Biden Administration then pivot from its exclusive vaccination message, or even take into account widespread natural immunity? No. It unscientifically ignored natural immunity, excluded from its calculation the approximately 160 million naturally immune people across the nation, and thereby grossly underestimated the extent of immunity. It did so irrationally to add urgency to its demand for vaccination, even insisting on vaccination of the naturally immune, despite the absence of demonstrable need and the presence of risk.

Indeed, instead of “following the science,” it “followed the politics” (of control) with the CDC, FDA, and HHS bending and twisting to satisfy White House demands. The Biden team doubled down on vaccination, maintaining that any deviation from an exclusive focus on vaccination would reduce the vaunted political goal of full compliance; it neither authorized exploration of, nor wished to know, the state of actual immunity in the country. In other words, vaccination had become a Biden Administration religion. Dissent was heresy condemnable by censorship and exile. All not vaccinated had become the equivalent of the “unclean” in the First Century AD. In his September 9, 2021 address, Biden made clear he was embarking on a crusade. He condemned the unvaccinated (suggesting that if they got COVID they deserved it) and falsely identified them as the basis for COVID transmission (contradicting the science that the vaccinated can carry and spread the virus (albeit the naturally immune cannot!)). He reiterated his Administration’s exclusive response to COVID to be compelling Americans in ever greater numbers to be vaccinated, insisting that this was a “patriotic” duty.

Then, in October and November of 2021, the information of the waning effectiveness of the vaccines hit hard and the need for boosters became generally accepted, even within CDC. Waning immunity would occur in vaccinated individuals at impossible to predict rates varying person to person; boosters would be needed perhaps every six months, perhaps more often for the immune compromised and elderly; and new hospitalizations involved not just the unvaccinated (as Biden falsely stated) because vaccinated people kept showing up in ever greater numbers, establishing that the population of admitted ill included the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike.

Now, as the New Year emerges, the evidence reveals even more glaringly the folly of the Biden Administration’s vaccination only approach. Scientists disagree concerning how frequently booster doses will be needed, and whether different kinds of boosters will be needed to fend off future variants. And yet, the wooden and stale Biden Administration holds fast to the vaccination only position it announced at the start, enhanced by its actions to suppress access to and discussion of COVID treatments.

We are now well into the national crisis where people are dying because they are frequently unaware of the need to get, or--when aware--are nevertheless unable to access, life-saving therapeutics at the start of infection. Across the nation, a drug effective in cutting COVID viral loads and averting hospitalization and death when given early after infection, Ivermectin, is difficult to obtain and physicians who prescribe it subject to attack from the Biden Administration, states cowing to administration pressure, medical boards, pharmacy boards, and left wing city governments. Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo explained that “the federal government is actively preventing the effective distribution of monoclonal antibody treatments in the U.S."[i]Pfizer’s latest treatment, also to be administered at the first sign of infection, Paxlovid, is rolling out slowly despite the fact that it reduces the risk of COVID hospitalization and death by 89%. Fluvoxamine, another highly effective, inexpensive, and widely available drug, is extremely effective in averting hospitalizations and death when administered early after infection, but is the subject of widespread government bans on its use in treating COVID.

The Biden Administration’s exclusive vaccination position and corresponding suppression of COVID treatments is having the effect of causing the infected, including huge numbers of those already vaccinated, to suffer higher risk of severe disease and death. The needed treatments are often unavailable. When available, physicians have been intimidated into not prescribing them, and pharmacists have been intimidated into not filling prescriptions for them.

The Biden Administration is thus wittingly sacrificing the health and lives of Americans to maintain its exclusive vaccination position, deaf to their cries and feigning cluelessness. The administration is thus aiding and abetting the killing of Americans, vaccinated and not, by effectively depriving them of urgent, early COVID treatments. Sooner or later as the reality of that monstrous abuse dawns on the American people, an already fallen Administration will see whatever influence it has left vanish.

There is an obvious alternative to this reprehensible disregard for human life. That is to be honest with the American people. Give them full information about the COVID options and, rather than take their liberty away for not following the commands of a woefully misinformed, doddering dictator, let them freely choose with the aid of their own physicians how best to treat this horrible illness, recognizing the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike as equally deserving of care. Were Biden humane, decent, and respectful of the constitutional limits on his power, he would follow that course. That he has not done so is proof of his inhumanity, indecency, and disdain for the Constitution.

Treatments are never one-size-fits-all. If that were not the case then I wouldn’t be on my 4th blood pressure medicine. Nor would there be numerous statins or any of a myriad of other medications.

And the ones that aren't cower in silence as millions are harmed.

We also can't forget that this is all driven by ultimate evil force: The MSM.

I think doctors ought to have to have patches on their doctor coats that have the logos of the pharmaceuticals that pay them royalties, like a NASCAR.

I had covid last week with mild symptoms and I was shocked to discover the only way to find out how to treat my symptoms myself at home was to scour right-wing political websites! So stupid. It shouldn’t have to be this way. It’s an illness. The MSM and big tech’s silence on how to treat covid at home simply sends everyone to the ER.

For the record: lots of Zinc (Zicam melts), Quercetin, Vit C and D, tumeric, tonic water with quinine, OJ, lots of tea with lemon/ginger and especially HONEY, walk outside in the sun 20 minutes a day, 10 deep breaths every hour, steamy showers, sleep on stomach if possible to aid in breathing, get an 02 finger sensor to measure blood oxygen. And I learned all this here on Free Republic and other conservative sites.

I had two days of fever and tiredness, then two days of sore eyes and slight sniffles/cough. Then done.

Dr. McCullough estimates that with the treatment regimens he had been advocating, 80-90% of the fatalities would have survived. Granted, who knows how many died OF COVID-19 instead of WITH COVID-19, but lets take the number the government provides for propaganda purposes which is 831,000.

That means that for political and personal gain reasons, if we use the LOW end of the estimate by Dr. McCullough (and borne out by places around the world that made those treatment regimens available) then 664,800 people have died needlessly. Murdered, if you will.

Will someone ever be called to account on this? I think not.

It is shameful...no evil, the Biden administration has throttled back monoclonal antibody treatments to states like Florida and Texas. Those who die because of it are on this administration’s heads.

Thank heavens for safe, cheap and effective hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin. We obtained our Rx’s early on before the Biden administration began throttling shipments of these therapeutics as well.

The Corona virus sucked!! But it could have been much worse without HCQ/IVM, zinc, D3, C.

As for the mRNA concoctions, I know personally five coworkers who have severe adverse reactions, one of them died.

So one guy...J&J x 1 had a stroke. They detected clotting in him.
Next guy developed Bells Palsy Pfizer x 2
The next fella his girlfriend died Moderna x 2
Next coworker, his stepdaughter develop a serious neurological condition.
Another coworker was embarrassed, but finally told me he pissed blood for two weeks after receiving Pfizer x 2.

So, we remain purebloods.

To find out over the past two years just how many people have fallen into evil ways has been scary and depressing. Everything from your average mask Karen up to most leaders and most people in the medical field. Evil or stupid or some combination of the two. The dems and msm we knew about but there are millions of others just like them.

There may be zero benefits to the vaccine. This is science. There is no control based experiment proving the unvaccinated get a worse case, even. We don’t know. And with that being true, a mandate for an experimental, potentially mildly beneficial, maybe, vaccine is actually against the scientific method.

The powers that he will never do the careful collection of vaccine immune damage and other side effects, to show the cost benefit of the vaccines to population sectors. It is CLEAR the vaccine has a hugely greater risk of death in young healthy boys and men than covid. Yet schools MANDATE this crazy risk, ostensibly to protect older, fatter, feminine teachers.

I work in healthcare, and I am not sure what to make of it.

They are (the people in favor of mask wearing and mass vaccination) in NO way stupid or untalented.

At this level, it isn’t that people are evil, malicious, or in it only for the money, they do all the COVID related stuff that is mandated by the institution, as I do. Mask wearing is stupid, but the panic in patient’s eyes if you aren’t wearing one is real and palpable, so...inside the hospital, I wear it.

(As soon as my foot exits the door each day, I rip of the mask with the vigor of a surgeon who has lost a patient on the table.
They came out with an unbelievably idiotic rule that you had to wear a mask in the parking lot on the way to your car, and I drew the line there and refused to comply with that idiocy.)

This is something that I have raised for discussion here on threads multiple times:

What is it about Leftism and Liberalism that takes control of otherwise sane and intelligent people and makes them act in this irrational and ignorant fashion? And not just in medicine. In all aspects of existence.

I just do not understand it at all. I discuss this often with my brother, and he says that they think the same thing about people like me. The difference is, I accept I could be wrong, and try to explore, investigate, and keep an open mind while maintaining logic and reason. I have to. We on “the right” have to engage in this introspective exercise, as the media at large and government voices constantly tell us and everyone else who hears them that we are wrong an irrational.

An irrational person would say “I am right!” and leave it at that. There is some of that in everyone, but I feel that we are doing all the due diligence, and the “other side” does no more than parrot what they are being told and accept it as the God’s Honest Truth.

And that frightens me. I know what I do to try to separate the wheat of truth from the chaff of deception, propaganda, and politics, and I try to take into account my own biases, including result bias.

It is a bizarre type of mass hypnosis (I think the accepted phrase now is “Mass Hysteria”) I find it baffling and unsettling, to say the least.
