I suspect in the final analysis the most abused thing in this whole pandemic was objectivity and I think social media and instant access by everyone to millions of people by anyone with a cell phone an internet connection. Sadly this causes echo chambering because people will tend to gather with like minded people and the internet neatly silos people into those groups without trying. And when there is numbers of people once can become convinced there is normalcy. It is a hell of a dilemma for the truth to work its way through these barriers.

Nailed it.

There’s lots of close minded people that are what I call intellectually “brittle”. They won’t read or watch anything that might be at conflict with their worldview.

This has been an issue with journalists and the media. Some of the more recent masking and vaccination studies have been completely ignored by media outlets. NPR is a good example of this.

Actually, the internet, or more precisely social media, did not tend to group people together unless they were for the shots.Anyone who lauded Hydroxycholorquine/Axithromycin/Zinc or Ivermectin/Doxycycline/Zinc as an early onset treatment was erased from the web on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, as well as other platforms. That censorship was not done for our benefit,when if there was reason to doubt, a discussion of that reason would have been more appropriate.

Zelenko explained his strategy in the HCQ/Zithromax/Zn regimen. Zinc was known to be effective in vitro and in vivo against SARS. HCQ acted as an ionophore delivering Zn ions into the epithelial airway cells and Type I pneumocytes, where it would interfere with viral replication, and the regimen was to be initiated at the first onset of symptoms, even without waiting for confirmation. Apparently that worked, he had only a handful of hospitalizations out of 800 patients. IVM/Doxy/Zn was a similar deal, only IVM apparently interferes with the virus docking at the ACE II attachment point as well.

With either regimen, however, greatest efficacy would be had with early treatment.

Unfortunately, patients with early (noncritical) symptoms were sent home to get sicker, and then admitted.

Most of the studies on either regimen were conducted on critical or ICU patients, after admission, which gave the bug a week or two of head start—not indicated for successful treatment.

Those same studies did not administer the macrolide antibiotics in most instances (macrolide antibiotics have an idiopathic effect of muting immune response, preventing cytokine storm), and never included zinc supplementation.

Noting that a primary dietary source of zinc is red meat, and that the most vulnerable populations (elderly in assisted living facilities or nursing homes) have been told to “eat healthy”, with diets emphasizing fish and fowl as protein sources, it falls to reason that those populations are already somewhat deficient in zinc, and administering the ionophore without the zinc would not have the desired effect.

I question the construction of those studies,because giving only one part of a tripart regimen would be likely to discredit the regimen, something that frankly seems either intentional or scientifically incompetent.

With the combination of incomplete regimens and later stage administration of that fraction, I would expect results to be subpar.

When you go to a gynocolgist and they ask what your pronouns are what is the point of going in the first place?

I don’t think there is a great deal of concern outside of agenda driven narrative relative to airline pilots. The public at the airport isn’t avoiding air travel nor is there a lot of talk in the public realm.

Here is a reasonable example of extrapolating an arguably nonissue to a greater and even less specific population with increasing nebulous measure that. according to you point to a single and definitive answer.

You have stopped recommending the vax?.... Hhmmm

How long did it take the majority of doctors to give up humorism and start washing their hands after Semmelweis demonstrated its effectiveness? Do you think Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine with zinc and vitamins are effective and safe early treatments for Covid-19?

[gas_dr]

I do not think ivermectin nor HCQ are effective treatments as I have see. Way too many failures with both drugs. Zinc and Vit D are reasonably good adjunct treatment
