This is a very disturbing introduction to write as it involves thousands of Covid deaths. Think back to the early days of the pandemic. Did you hear anything about home treatments for COVID–19? Did you hear anything other than actions to prevent the spread – masks, social distancing, avoiding group gatherings, stay at home, and lockdowns plus the dashboard numbers? I don’t recall any discussion of home/outpatient therapeutics except for a few snide remarks about Trump’s hydroxychloroquine idiocy.
The critique in this segment reveals there are several treatments that if utilized in the early stages of infection would have been effective – a hydroxychloroquine cocktail with zinc (HCQ); ivermectin; hydrogen peroxide nebulization; plus vitamin C, vitamin D, magnesium chloride, and zinc supplements. Why were these not recommended?
Multiple sources suggest that if they were effective, vaccine development would have been delayed at significant cost and profit because that would negate the utilization of the Emergency Use Authorization provision of U.S. law. The same is true for the highly touted Covid drug Remdesivir which in the end was shown to provide marginal benefit and harmful side effects. Hydroxychloroquine had been approved for use by the FDA for a number of diseases for 65 years with billions of applications worldwide. Countless physicians prescribed it as a cocktail with zinc for Covid infections with positive effects. Yet, the FDA ultimately banned its continued use for Covid. Why? Clinical trials were ordered to verify its use and suddenly the trials showed it had little benefit and some side effects. As the excerpts report, the trials were manipulated by only utilizing pure hydroxychloroquine versus the cocktail and it was administered in the trials late in the infection period versus after early detection. With the ban in place, the vaccine and Remdesivir schedules went on uninterrupted which preserved the significant profits for the pharmaceutical companies and the public health agencies. Note: The treatment cost for HCQ was $20 while that for Remdesivir was $3,120.
Next: The next three segments will focus on various mitigation factors in the attempt to control the spread of Covid infections. Segment 6 will focus on Data and Testing, followed by Lockdowns and Masks in segments 7 and 8 respectively.
Happy Learning. Harley
COVID PANDEMIC CRITIQUE – SEGMENT 5 EARLY TREATMENT -- EXCERPTS
THE FOUR PILLARS OF PANDEMIC MANAGEMENT: An astronomical blunder is a more accurate way of describing what has happened in this pandemic. We have every right to believe that the medical, health care, and public health systems will do everything possible to take early action to not only address our symptoms expeditiously but also to prevent a worsening of whatever illness or disease afflicts us. We certainly expect the medical system to do everything possible to keep us out of the hospital. Becoming a hospital patient is rightfully seen as a last resort, both unpleasant, stressful, likely painful, potentially safe, and expensive, even with health insurance.
To understand all this, it is imperative to understand the four basic pillars of pandemic management. The first pillar is home/outpatient treatment to keep you healthy and out of the hospital once you have some clear symptoms of COVID. The most important thing to understand about this first pillar is that it has not been widely used because the federal government has not endorsed, supported, or promoted it. To the contrary it has blocked its use mainly through official guidance from the NIH that provides for no early home/outpatient COVID treatment. Doctors are prevented by government actions in using home/outpatient treatment, and their traditional medical freedom to do what they think is best for their patients is destroyed. That is exactly the case now.
The second pillar is contagion or infection control. This is what has preoccupied the entire pandemic management and response system. Here are all the actions designed in theory to curb the spread of the coronavirus in all parts of society, both public and private. Perhaps the biggest pandemic lie is that contagion controls are based on good, reliable science. This area of contagion control has become the major distraction from thinking about and demanding the first pillar options. All your thoughts, emotions and behaviors are now linked to wearing masks, social distancing, washing hands, not shaking hands, using hand sanitizer, keeping children out of school, avoiding outdoor crowds and, most contentious putting up with lockdowns.
The third pillar is treatment in a hospital. The fourth pillar is the use of vaccines, which has been given increasing attention as the salvation for ending the pandemic. It also contributes yet another distraction from demanding access to the first pillar. In fact, it is logical to see that the first pillar is a direct competitor to the fourth pillar. If the public was both more aware of effective, safe, and low-cost early home/outpatient treatment and could easily access it, then it would make perfect sense to be less interested in taking a vaccine. This is especially the case now because the government and big drug companies have rushed through clinical trials and regulatory approvals. If public demand for pillar one treatment could be increased, then surely public interest in pillar four vaccines would decline.
The most powerful person in the federal government, Dr. Anthony Fauci, got the NIH and FDA to take formal positions against home treatment and use of HCQ. The media attack against HCQ was propelled by two medical research articles published in two of the most prestigious medical journals. Both articles were retracted soon after a number of people were able to correctly explain that both papers were bogus at best, and possibly intentionally fraudulent. Both withdrawn articles had been accepted quickly, yet many others with positive findings on HCQ could not get accepted. Source: Pandemic Blunder by Dr. Joel S. Hirschhorn (2021 est. Spring)
FROM THE FRONT LINES: The travesty of orchestrated suppression of lifesaving medicines to treat COVID – 19 has resulted in the societal murder of over two million people globally. The massive death toll has been horrific in the U.S., United Kingdom, Western Europe, and Australia where physicians are still largely prevented from access to lifesaving medicines and threatened with loss of license or prosecution if they go against bureaucratic and political suppression of early home-based treatment.
Through it all, who is standing up for sick patients? During the pandemic, not one single national leader in the pandemic response is saying: “COVID – 19 is terrible, and I am going to work with the best experts from many fields of medicine to find ways to treat the virus early to reduce these hospitalizations and deaths, as we have always done with any viral illness.” No national public health leader on the COVID response task force has ever mentioned that physicians and patients could work together and treat people at home to prevent the high mortality rate that came from waiting until people were critically ill and sending them to the hospital to die alone. Their tunnel vision focus was and is solely on contagion control through mask mandates and lockdowns, while waiting in fear for a promised experimental vaccine.

AT HOME/OUTPATIENT TREATMENT: Dr. Peter McCullough, vice chair of Internal Medicine at Baylor University Medical Center and a professor of medicine at Texas A&M, observes, “We could have dramatically reduced COVID-19 fatalities and hospitalizations using early treatments protocols and repurposed drugs including Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and many, many others.” He goes on to say, “Using repurposed drugs we could have ended the pandemic by May 2020 but for Dr. Fauci’s hard-headed, tunnel vision on new vaccines and remdesivir.” McCullough points out that hundreds of peer-reviewed studies now show that early treatment could have averted some 80% of deaths attributed to COVID-19.

The knowledge of hydrogen peroxide (HP), vitamins C, D, magnesium, other antioxidants and nutrients has been available. If these safe, inexpensive and effective treatments were applied early, as we have been appealing worldwide from Day 1, at the onset of this pandemic, Covid-19 could have been behind us. Mainstream medicine nearly totally ignores the God-designed defense mechanisms to protect us from pathogen invasion. These are universal mechanisms against all invading pathogens. HP is at the center of this defense system. It has been well researched – there are over 80,000 research papers in the literature – and it has been used in the treatment of various infections. HP has never achieved wide recognition. This is not unusual, given the fact that if a treatment is not expensive, there is no interest in promoting it. The same fate we have seen over and over happened to Vitamins C, D and other inexpensive antioxidants and nutrients. When profit is put ahead of health, people suffer.

WHY WAS THERE NO FOCUS ON EARLY TREATMENT? After a full US senate committee hearing in November 2020 with three outstanding witnesses who advocated pillar one action testimonies Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin summed up the ugly reality perfectly. He said it was “unconscionable and inhumane” to do nothing to promote effective home treatments. And he said this: “We should have the right to access this without the interference of bureaucrats in the CDC, NIH, and the FDA.” Johnson made another important point. He wondered aloud whether doctors and medical experts were backing another drug, remdesivir, over hydroxychloroquine because remdesivir sales bring in more money for pharmaceutical companies. “I question the fact that because this cocktail costs about $20 and remdesivir costs $3,000, that maybe there’s a little bias, maybe there’s a little conflict, maybe there’s a little agenda,” he said. When it comes to very expensive new drugs like remdesivir, it should be noted that they and many drugs and vaccines were developed with NIH money, resulting in about $100 million annually in royalties. In other words, NIH [and its employees] makes a lot of money from drug companies that it has a close relationship with. After the hearing, the mainstream media gave no attention to the success of early home/outpatient treatment.
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE (HCQ): Over forty state medical and pharmacy licensing boards and governors prohibit doctors from prescribing HCQ and patients from obtaining it. This is despite is approved use by the FDA for some 65 years and many millions of prescriptions – and billions worldwide – for its use for a number of diseases, such as malaria and lupus. It is genuinely difficult to understand how such a widely used medicine, available as a very low-cost generic could be so viciously attacked.
Various agencies, such as the FDA, FTC, CDC, NIH, state licensing boards and state pharmacy boards have inserted themselves between the physicians of this country and their patients who are seeking treatment for COVID-19. Physicians have been trained for years and know their patients better than any federal or state agencies. Physicians should have the right to treat their patients as they see fit without governmental interference or fear of retribution.
Recently the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sent cease-and-desist letters to hundreds of licensed doctors across the country. These physicians are being threatened with legal action from the FTC if they discuss with patients or anyone, what they have researched, discovered, and experiences as beneficial for patients with COVID-19 illness. The FTC is therefore practicing medicine without a license, which disrupts the patient/physician decision-making process.
Governors, often covertly in conjunction with state pharmacy boards, have made it very difficult or impossible for patients to get filled their COVID-19 prescriptions, which are written by physicians properly licensed by their state medical boards. Such governors and pharmacy boards are inserting themselves into the patient-physician relationship. Source: Pandemic Blunder by Dr. Joel S. Hirschhorn (2021).
SUPPRESSING THE HOME-BASED EARLY AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF COVID – 19: We asked ourselves, “Why do the global predators continue to violently suppress early home-based treatments, causing the unnecessary deaths of millions of people?” Then we found out why. There is a catch in the federal legislation called the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) that empowers the government to finance drug company costs for the development of vaccines and to rush them onto the market at breakneck speed without standard FDA approval as safe and effective. Under the EUA, the U.S. could not finance and rush through the experimental and potentially lethal vaccines unless there were no safe and effective treatments in place.
Bill Gates, Fauci, and the drug companies with their predatory investors must continue to do everything in their power to discredit existing and safe and effective treatments. At any time, if they fail to suppress all effective treatments, their enormous ambitions for money and power from the unwarranted experimental mass vaccinations will collapse like a flimsy house of cards.
Hydroxychloroquine-based home treatments reduced hospitalization by 87% and deaths by 75%, while ivermectin-based treatments may be as good or better. As ghastly as it seems, many of the most wealthy and powerful people and organizations in the world would rather see people die without treatment than lose their much-anticipated pandemic opportunity to coerce all of us into being experimentally vaccinated while having the government cover their expenses and protect them from lawsuits.

From the outset, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and other therapeutics posed an existential threat to Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates’ $48 billion COVID vaccine project and particularly to their vanity drug remdesivir, in which Gates has a large stake. Under federal law, new vaccines and medicines cannot qualify for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) if any existing FDA-approved drug proves effective against the same malady. Thus, if any FDA-approved drug like HCQ (or Ivermectin) proved effective against COVID, pharmaceutical companies would no longer be legally allowed to fast-track their billion-dollar vaccines to market under EUA. Instead, vaccines would have to endure the years-long delays that have always accompanied methodical safety and efficacy testing, and that would mean less profits, more uncertainty, longer runways to market, and a disappointing end to the lucrative COVID-19 gold rush. So, there was good reason that very powerful potentates of the medical cartel were targeting HCQ long before President Trump began his infamous romance with the malaria remedy HCQ.
Prior to COVID-19, not a single study had provided evidence against the use of HCQ based on safety concerns. In response to the mounting tsunami that HCQ was safe and effective against COVID, Gates, Dr. Fauci and their Pharma allies deployed an army of industry-linked researchers to gin up contrived evidence of its dangers. By 2020 Bill Gates exercised firm control over WHO and deployed the agency in his effort to discredit HCQ. Dr. Fauci, Gates, and WHO financed a cadre of research mercenaries to concoct a series of nearly twenty studies – all employing fraudulent protocols to deliberately designed to discredit HCQ as unsafe. In each of two trials, SOLIDARITY and RECOVERY, the hydroxychloroquine arm predictably had 10 to 20 percent more deaths that the control arm. The UK government and Welcome Trust and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) jointly financed the Recovery Trial. The report admits that the Solidarity trial was using the highest dose of any recent trial. The report acknowledged that BMGF’s unique dosing model for the studies deliberately overestimated the amount of HCQ that was necessary to achieve adequate lung tissue concentrations. The WHO report confesses that, “This model is not validated.” Gates’s deadly deception allowed FDA to wrongly declare that HCQ would be ineffective at safe levels.
Gates and his cabal used an arsenal of other deceptive gimmickry to assure that HCQ would appear not just deadly, but ineffective. Each of the studies failed to incorporate Zithromax and zinc – important components of HCQ protocols. All of the Fauci, Gates, and WHO administered HCQ in late stages of COVID infection, in contravention of the prevailing recommendations that deem HCQ effective only when doctors administer it early. Even after the FDA withdrew its Emergency Authorization and posted the fraudulent warning on its website, many front-line doctors across the country continued to prescribe and report strong benefits with appropriate doses of HCQ. Dr. Fauci failed to disclose that NONE of the trials he had used as a basis for his pronouncements involved medication given in the first five to seven days after onset of symptoms. Instead, all of those randomized controlled trials targeted patients who were already sick enough to be hospitalized. Source: The Real Anthony Fauci by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (2021)
REMDESIVIR: By October 2020, remdesivir became the first medication given clearance by the FDA in the treatment of COVID-19. The medication is administered via IV and requires six to eleven infusions for the treatment course. The company put a hefty $3,120 price tag on it for insured patients in the United States.
The World Health Organization (WHO) published interim data on their Solidarity Trial, which included more than 11,000 people across 30 countries evaluating medications (including remdesivir) as potential treatments of COVID – 19. Not only did the medication not reduce death in the study, but the data also indicated remdesivir didn’t influence the duration of hospitalizations, as previously reported. As such, the WHO formally recommended that physicians not use the medication for COVID-19. While the WHO panel acknowledged that the collective evidence so far does not prove remdesivir “has no benefit,” they discussed given the possibility of harm (adverse effects documented in 50 to 74 percent of people taking the medication), as well as the high cost and resources needed to administer the drug, the lack of clear evidence of benefit did not outweigh the risk. However, given that Dr. Fauci publicly recognized the efficacy of remdesivir, the media depicted it as the “good” or hope-inducing drug, so the press pressed on. As it stands today, if there is benefit to this medication, it seems to be marginal, and only when given to a specific subset of patients. Source: Panic Attack by Nicole Saphier, MD (2021)
OTHER THERAPEUTICS FOR COVID – 19: In order to stop any pandemic, COVID included, it is essential that a cure not only exists, but that it is extremely cheap, available everywhere, easily administered, completely nontoxic, and not requiring the intervention of a doctor or hospital to be obtained. At this time, there is really only one such treatment that fulfills all of those requirements. It is Hydrogen Peroxide Nebulization.
CQ/HCQ are two old drugs that have been administered billions of times around the world. In fact, chloroquine is one of the most prescribed drugs in the entire world. Both have long been documented to have clear-cut antiviral properties. CQ/HCQ are both zinc ionophores and taking supplemental zinc with these drugs appears to improve the antiviral impact of these drugs in treating COVID. CQ/HCQ also appear to have broad spectrum anti-pathogen activity, including anti-bacterial and antifungal activity. There should not be any opposition to using any agent that is inexpensive and of almost inconsequential toxicity when some clinicians are seeing the benefits of such a treatment
Ivermectin is effective against a wide array of pathogens, including many viruses for which there are no accepted and effective treatments used by mainstream medicine. In the test tube, ivermectin has demonstrated the ability to inhibit the replication of SARS-CoV-2, the causative virus for COVID infections. There are countries that have been using ivermectin in a preventive role against parasitic infections. The routine mass administration of ivermectin as prophylaxis against parasites appears to have resulted in a significant reduced incidence of COVID in those countries – India for example. It is important to make sure any supplementation regimen includes vitamin C, vitamin D, magnesium chloride, and zinc. Certainly, many other quality nutrients, vitamins, and mineral supplements can be taken that would offer even greater benefits for infection prevention/resolution. Along with these four supplements, it cannot really overemphasize as to the contribution that nebulized HP can offer to prevent and/or cure not only COVID, but any respiratory viral syndrome, which includes all common colds and cases of influenza. Nebulizing for only a couple minutes per day can offer not only enormous protection against contracting respiratory viruses Source: Rapid Virus Recovery: No need to live in fear! by Thomas E.
