"I personally had a good friend, who had no other health issues, die of Covid before the first vaccine was available to the public. I am thankful for the vaccines."

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. May he rest in peace.

However, blaming his loss on the absence of a vaccine is wrong, in my opinion. I blame government regulators. During the time of no vaccines, there were numerous COVID treatment options that were not only rejected by the regulators, they were even forbidden. These treatments included Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin (usually requiring a prescription), and also vitamin d, zinc, steroid inhalers, and more. These treatments were proven effective in numerous real trials with real patients, yet they were even prohibited by the government bureaucrats who even tried to remove medical licenses from doctors who used them.

Meanwhile, the only COVID treatment allowed was "Take Tylenol if you hurt too much, and call 911 if you can't breathe." I know, because that was the 'treatment' allowed for my daughter and her husband and my grandchild.

The odds are good that your friend died while on a ventilator. Most ventilated patients died (around 75 percent). I have a friend who's mother was hospitalized for COVID a thousand miles from his home. Her oxygen level dropped below 90, and my friend was told she was going to be placed on a ventilator. He dropped everything he was doing and flew to her side in Phoenix. He removed her from the hospital against significant protesting from the doctors and nurses, and placed her on the 'Zelenko Protocol' - Ivermectin, zinc, vitamin D, and more. She recovered and is doing just fine right now.

Like most of us, Doctors are motivated by the combination of $$ and taking care of their families and their carriers.

The great majority of us, be we doctors, engineers, police, military etc. WE will not Rock the boat.

As A.B. stated, Rome was already no longer a Republic by the time Caesar came along. We appear to be in that same inflection point as documented by the 1997 William Strauss and Neil Howe "The Fourth Turning"

“Take Tylenol if you hurt too much ...”

Would you believe even THIS was bad advice? The “Official Narrative” docs .... they pretty much bat 100% on bad advice regarding C-19.

Glutathione is a major inflammatory fighter (think cytokine storm). Acetaminophen is a glutathione ‘depleter’. Below is a fascinating article on GSH ... what low levels can mean.

The Role of Glutathione in Protecting against the Severe Inflammatory Response Triggered by COVID-19.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7402141/

Part of conclusion:
“Several pieces of evidence reported in our biochemical analysis suggest that low levels of GSH could be one of the major causes of the excessive inflammatory response linked to severe COVID-19 symptoms and indicate that increasing body GSH could reduce the number of symptomatic patients. Future clinical studies investigating the levels of GSH in COVID-19 patients may be the starting point to explore this possibility.”

Smart move. Levels in the 80's are clearly survivable.
