Thank you for your thoughtful response. I really appreciate that.
I consider the measures are useless to stop the spread (we have seen that), more harmful than covid itself, and highly discriminatory. It's not the spread we need to worry about, but the treatment, of which there is still nothing. I find that disgraceful. We are supposed to have such a competent medical industry, yet they still have nothing they can do to help the very small percent of patients who get really sick. So what do those patients have in common? For one, the vast majority (not all) have lots of western meds coursing through their veins, especially old folks. Perhaps it's not the co-morbidities that are complicating covid, but the heavy meds the patients are taking for their pre-existing conditions; medically toxic bodies can not fight covid well, they go into overdrive. Blood pressure medications are suspect. Antacids are suspect. And the flu vaccine has been shown to exacerbate covid. Nearly every nursing home resident gets a flu vaccine twice a year. Flu vaccine season is right around the corner now, and we can be sure to see severe covid cases rise at the same time; right now we are seeing more infection rates, but hospitalization and death rates are way down. Will the rises in severity during vaccination season just be coincidence? I pray it doesn't happen, I really do. We'll see.
Add to that that there IS an effective, safe and inexpensive treatment that has been forbidden for use by the very entities who have told us to shut down our lives, and, well, I wonder just what their agenda is.
I am happy to take my chances with covid. The alternative is far worse for every single one of us.
