But we are supposed to trust these same companies and doctor's with giving us an untested (long term) "vaccine" that doesn't work (you can still get China Covid) even after you've gotten multiple booster jabs. No thanks.
Hi,
mthomas!
Well, I said that I would not spend more time here, but I think that some extra considerations would be useful. As the vast majority of BBHF members, I'm not a medical doctor, but I like to be well informed. And, of course... doctors sometimes fail.
"What the heck does a pandemic have to do with the deliberate casting aside of established scientific protocols?
(not needing to get vaccinated if you have already been infected)"
This would need a two-part answer.
A pandemic has
a LOT to do with the lack of respect to scientific protocols.
When this epidemic started I predicted that we would have a desperate rush to find a solution, testing and developing less than secure medicines. And it happened.
There is a joke about the difference between God and a doctor: God doesn't think he is a doctor.
The doctor is not used to doing anything and feels obligated to do something.
He studied medicine to treat and cure people.
It is difficult to say to the patient “there is nothing to do but support you”.
If they run into a serious medical problem, they try what they have at hand - even if they aren't experts.
There is a established scientific protocol called "Clinical Research" that defines if a remedy is efficient against a disease.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of doctors has insufficient formation in this specialty.
Clinical Research requires a lot of time, a lot of testing and a lot of care.
Now, doctors that are not specialized started to use different drugs, and when they observed that some patients were saved, some of them started to prescribe the drug used - even without the gold standard, double blind studies (you can call it "established scientific protocol").
I know people who were cured of covid with chloroquine. "Yes, chloroquine saves lives!" they say. My niece contracted covid and was saved without chloroquine, the doctor prescribed an antibiotic (Tamiflu).
Trump used hydroxychloroquine as a preventative, but still got sick - and doctors did not use chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine in his treatment.
Rigorous studies have indicated that most cures by chloroquine or ivermectin are likely to occur either by placebo effect or by simple coincidence. The immune system healed people, and would heal them with the drug, without the drug, or despite the drug. Orange juice would have the same effect.
"Second, not needing to get vaccinated" (is a stablished scientific protocol)
It's not answer (I don't know everything), it's a question: Are you sure that it happens with all diseases (including some that can appear in the future) and with all persons?
Can we conclude that this natural immunization happens with all diseases?
I already survived to influenza, but I've being vaccinated once a year for the last 4 years.
Now, yellow fever, polio and some other vaccines need only 1 shot. Tetanus need a booster every 10 years.
I don't know about you, but if a dog or cat bites me, I'll run to the doctor and ask for the vaccine.
If this happens again, I go back to the doctor for more guidance - and a new shot, if the doctor prescribes it.
Singapore x Brazil x India
I think that the problem in Singapore is not a valid example. With vaccination, Singapore relaxed a STRONG lockdown, so it's not possible to associate vaccination with the disease. It's not like a coin with 2 faces, there are lots of things to consider.
Singapore has performed an average of 3.3 Covid-19 tests per person, and perhaps this contributed to the growing number of cases.
"Most new cases of Covid-19—over 98%—have been either mild or asymptomatic, according to Singapore’s health ministry. The death rate over the last 28 days stands at 0.1%, despite an unprecedented surge in cases."
Uttar Pradesh: In Brazil, ivermectin didn't reduced the problem. Here we had a national scandal with some Health Insurance plans using these "miracle" drugs, and lying about people that died in unautorized tests.
Perhaps in India things are different... or not?
Ok, let the BBC tell us something about the problems with this ivermectin pseudo "miracle".

"I guess you won't waste any more time here because the facts are beginning to break through the propaganda"
I don't like challenges. I don't intend to stay here and spend hours exposing my thoughts. I have to follow my agenda, not yours.
No, it's just a waste of time to dismantle fallacies and fake news. I do have a life.
And the drop of new cases and deaths in Brazil is enough to make me sure that vaccines work. What? Is
smithnowt reading this? Okay. We have a little less than 2 years to have a solid conclusion.
I want a real solution. IF anyone can prove that ivermectin or choloroquine works, I think it's great - it's a cheap medicine.
Of course, this would bring about a revolution in the methods used by science around the world. I wouldn't be sad if it had to happen this way.
