The old joke is that the term “government intelligence” is an oxymoron and that there is no such thing as an intelligent government. No place is that better demonstrated than by looking at the government’s response to the COVID-19 “crisis”.
I’m not going to talk about whether or not the disease has been exaggerated. We’ll save that for another day. Today, I’m just going to look at the government’s response and whether or not what they’ve done makes any sense.
One of the first things we learned about the novel coronavirus is that people with suppressed immune systems were more susceptible to having a bad reaction. That’s not a real earth-shattering bit of data because people are more susceptible to everything if they have a weakened immune system.
Regardless of how long it took them to draw this conclusion, it was still a sound one and could have been made by anybody with at least a 5th-grade understanding of human physiology.
We’ve also known for many decades that taking zinc and D3 supplements are great for the immune system. So, why wasn’t there a government program a year ago to distribute zinc and D3 packets to everyone?
Unless you take an entire bottle at once, there is no downside to taking zinc and D3 supplements. Even if you were stupid enough to try and make a meal out of them, the risk of zinc toxicity is still extremely low. If saving lives was the goal, then everybody should have received huge bags of zinc and D3 in the mail and been encouraged to immediately start taking them.
You’d think that insurance companies would be all over this. But, instead of sending me vitamins, they sent me a mask. Which I promptly threw in the trash.
Zinc and D3 cost next to nothing, are risk free, and provide an immediate tangible benefit. Doesn’t it seem like making sure everyone was taking them would have been a smart thing to do?
But that’s not what happened. Instead of proactively trying to save lives, we were told to wait for a vaccine.
One cause of a vitamin D deficiency is not being exposed to enough sunlight. Americans were already spending too much time indoors which undoubtedly contributed to the problem. Everyone should have been encouraged to get outdoors.
But that’s not what they did. Instead, they told everyone to stay inside which gave them even less sun exposure, made their vitamin D deficiency even worse and made them even more susceptible to disease.
Stay inside, they said, and wait for the vaccine.
Then President Trump made the unfortunate mistake of endorsing HCQ. So, Trump haters everywhere were immediately against HCQ. HCQ has been around for over 50 years and has been taken by hundreds of millions of people. Side-effects are few and well-documented.
Destroying the entire economy was justified by saying, “It will be worth it if it saves just one life.” So, if the goal were to save lives, doesn’t it make sense that sending everyone HCQ would have been a good idea? If we follow their logic, only one life would have to be saved to make it all worthwhile.
If there were even a chance it would save people, they should have shipped it to everyone in the same package as the zinc and D3 they didn’t send to anybody.
HCQ costs next to nothing to make, is risk free to take and is claimed to have saved many people from dying of COVID-19. It seems like the smart thing to do would have been to make sure everyone was taking it as a preventative measure.
But that’s not what happened. No, they banned doctors from prescribing HCQ “off label”, even threatening them with the loss of their medical license if they gave it to their patients. Instead of proactively trying to save lives, they told us to wait for the vaccine.
The same thing happened with Ivermectin. Multiple clinical trials and real-world data shows that Ivermectin is effective in fighting off the disease. Like HCQ, there is little downside to taking Ivermectin. Like HCQ it is cheap to make and virtually risk-free to take. And, like HCQ, this could have been distributed to everyone in the same box as the zinc and D3 that wasn’t sent. The data shows that Ivermectin is an effective treatment. So, doesn’t it seem like putting it to use would be a smart thing to do?
But that’s not what happened. Once again, instead of proactively trying to save lives, we were told to wait for a vaccine.
So we waited, and now we’ve got vaccines that aren’t really vaccines. They are experimental injections that were fast-tracked through the approval process and use a technology never before used in this way. There is no data to show if there are any long-term side effects. There have been no studies to determine the risks associated with taking them, they provide no immunity, and their effectiveness is still being determined.
Furthermore, the “vaccines” have the potential to make an army of infectious people who don’t even realize they’re contagious. In fact, there are so many risks and unknowns with getting injected with these drugs that Big Pharma has been given blanket immunity against any and all harm they may cause.
There is no dispute that people with suppressed immune systems are more susceptible to disease. And there is no dispute that zinc and D3 boost the immune system. Instead of forcing people to wear much-disputed masks they should have been mass-mailing Flintstone’s vitamins to everyone. Doing so would have actually made more sense.
The argument against using off-the-shelf drugs is that there have been no trials to test the efficacy of HCQ and Ivermectin against COVID-19. Big deal. There have been no trials to test how effective the “vaccines” are either. The tests are going on in real time as they inject hundreds of millions of people around the world. If the governments are willing to run global tests of unproven, experimental drugs on hundreds of millions of people, then why weren’t they willing to test risk-free drugs that were already readily available?
They might have saved millions of lives. Instead, they made people wait for a vaccine that is potentially so dangerous that no one is willing to guarantee that taking it isn’t going to be fatal.
The saying that there is no such thing as “government intelligence” holds true and if the stakes weren’t quite so high, it might even be funny. But it’s not funny, because allowing millions of people to die due to government ineptness is no laughing matter.
