    CNN vs Ivermectin CNN says study shows Ivermectin does not work -- but the study shows that it DOES work ! I posted essentially the same analysis twice, but Igor Chudov has a better presentation with screen shots from the study. So, the study showed that, for Ivermectin vs control group: 4 vs 10 were placed on mechanical ventilation 3 vs 10 died (so 3 Ivermectin patients died, vs 10 without Ivermectin). https://igorchudov.substack.com/p/cnn-vs-ivermectin?utm_source=url

    https://www.statnews.com/2020/11/09/covid-19-vaccine-from-pfizer-and-biontech-is-strongly-effective-early-data-from-large-trial-indicate/ The first analysis was to occur after 32 volunteers — both those who received the vaccine and those on placebo — had contracted Covid-19. If fewer than six volunteers in the group who received the vaccine had developed Covid-19, the companies would make an announcement that the vaccine appeared to be effective. The study would continue until at least 164 cases of Covid-19 — individuals with at least one symptom and a positive test result — had been reported. Scientists can now design genetic material called mRNA to help us build immunity to certain viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus...

    Trump Got Covid Because He Never Stopped Working For the American People. Anyone can avoid Covid by staying inside, not going to work, not meeting with people, never taking any chances.

Trump took the risk because the President can't stay in a basement, he has to lead the country. That's what Trump did by having a press conference every day in April and May. For 50 consecutive days he...

    A highly influential coronavirus antibody study was funded in part by David Neeleman, the JetBlue Airways founder and a vocal proponent of the idea that the pandemic isn’t deadly enough to justify continued lockdowns. That’s according to a complaint from an anonymous whistleblower, filed with Stanford University last week and obtained by BuzzFeed News, about the study conducted by the famous scientist John Ioannidis and others. The complaint cites dozens of emails, including exchanges with the airline executive while the study was being conducted. The study — released as a non-peer-reviewed paper, or preprint, on April 17 — made headlines...
