I go from feeling vindicated at the beginning of a post to feeling complete empathy for them. One day it’s going to be someone from our immediate family. My wife’s family fully vaxed. Including all their kids aged 7 to 17. My whole family fully vaxed. That’s a total of 23 people. It’s just a matter of time before something happens. I mean it’s friends of a friend at the moment. But you can feel the squeeze.

We humans need to be congratulated for our epic achievement of supreme primate evolution and behaviour.

We once had a drug called hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) used to fight Lupus. It was observed that those patients at Lupus clinics on HCQ (I.e. Plaquanil) we’re not getting sick with Covid. Many, both inside and outside of the medical profession noticed the association. This became a hot topic in alternative media.

Then a strange thing occurred. Those who promoted HCQ in any fashion were strongly and stringently accused as promoting mis/disinformation.

Information about this common sense cheap drug HCQ was being suppressed. Simply put - it seemed to work. Why would people want to suppress the compassionate use of an old standard like HCQ during an epidemic? After all the powers that be had no problem advocating “emergency use” of an untested mRNA vaccine for Covid. They had no problem advocating the use of dangerous ICU “total war” medicine as a “cure” for Covid. The fact most didn’t survive their total war approach seemed to escape their attention.

How to understand when primate evolution and behaviour in humans has failed. Common sense is free. So are advanced knowledge and science.
