Sssssammmmmmash!Your car hits black ice, you go off the road, hit a tree and a piece of debris slashes open an artery. You're bleeding to death and you can't get at the damage as your arms are trapped.
The EMT dude comes running up to your car. You're saved, so you think.
"Oh, that looks bad. Hang on a second."
...... {rumage-rumage in the crash box}
"Well sir, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I have a belt and there's a stick over here, with which I can make a tourniquet. The bad news is that I do not have my FDA and NIH-approved, double-blind study-affirmed $5,000 tourniquet in my crash box; we used it last week on another poor bastard who had a car wreck and the replacement hasn't come in yet.
I'm sorry sir, you're just going to have to die."
{EMT dude walks off, gets in truck, and calls the coroner.}
Yes, I know these studies are done for a reason. Specifically, we usually start with animals because there's always a risk you actually potentiate a bad outcome instead of a good one. For an example look at the high blood pressure drugs with Coronavirus or, if you prefer, even aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen, all of which appear to be very bad news if this is what you have.
Oh by the way, Fauci doesn't believe that's a real concern either because, and here we go again, we don't have his magical double-blind study to prove it with a virus that has only been in the US for a few months.
Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Wednesday that the suggestion was a "little bit urban legend" and that there was no "solid evidence" to support the theory after France's health minister urged people to avoid the drug.Never mind that there are other alternatives and physicians in other nations have sounded the alarm on the use of these over-the-counter fever remedies -- loudly. You see, Fauci doesn't have his studies, which they haven't done. Why not? Who the **** knows other than the lack of time, just like they didn't do 'em with regard to hydroxychloroquine. And so whatever some other medical body or individual has come up with..... it's unproved, it's not a thing, you shouldn't listen to those people and boy, we got the answers -- even when there are no answers other than destroying the economy and millions of jobs.
Note that the French aren't exactly witch-doctors either. The EU's medical system is, well, full of physicians that study the same anatomy, pharmacology and such as ours do. They just don't have our extraordinarily-expensive AMA stamp of approval, you see, so they're automatically considered "full of crap" until proved otherwise.
Never mind that if that French doc's warning is accurate you might make the Coronavirus infection much worse.
And then of course there's the fact that by the time they actually figure out whether the concern is valid or not..... the virus will no longer be a problem, at least for you.
But what if the French are wrong and you don't use the aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen? What's the downside to not using them if you think you might have Coronavirus?
Not a whole hell of a lot, right? I mean, let's be straight here -- fever, at least up to a point, is actually helpful in fighting off a virus. These drugs are mostly about comfort in these circumstances, not actually eliminating the infection itself. Never mind that acetaminophen (Tylenol) has a different mechanism of action and there doesn't appear to be any reason for concern with its use within safe limits, of course and, oh, that's available everywhere in the same store right next to the other ones.
So what's the real deal here? Does Fauci want to see the severity of cases intentionally escalated -- that is, for people to die due to entirely avoidable causes -- over something as simple as the choice of what over-the-counter fever drug people choose to consume so he can justify the clampdown on America and the destruction of our economy? Oh by the way, do not try to tell me that the government's disease "specialists" haven't done things like this for political reasons before or that they were "honest mistakes" -- in point of fact they have intentionally failed to act in ways that wound up killing a crap ton of people.
I'll get to that in a minute -- with hard, documentary proof.
In the case of hydroxychloroquine which might mitigate the course of this virus to a very material degree the preliminary studies on its effect on Coronaviruses -- SARS, to be specific -- were done in 2005. The CDC, NIH and NIAID sat on the 2005 results and never went any further with them, got funding or proceeded -- for 15 years. And of course, both they and Fauci personally are now pointedly being very quiet about taking any responsibility for having their dicks in their hands for that entire period of time instead of chasing this rather promising drug's use for such viruses down.
May I remind you that the study suggested this drug was a potential prophylaxis -- that is, something we could give to people particularly at risk as opposed to locking down the entire ******ned nation?
Chloroquine, a relatively safe, effective and cheap drug used for treating many human diseases including malaria, amoebiosis and human immunodeficiency virus is effective in inhibiting the infection and spread of SARS CoV in cell culture. The fact that the drug has significant inhibitory antiviral effect when the susceptible cells were treated either prior to or after infection suggests a possible prophylactic and therapeutic use.Oh, and speaking of having one's dick in their hand were any of these people paying attention to the very odd spike in early flu infections that were frequently coming up negative for Influenza A and B in November and December of 2019? Those spikes are all over the data and yet only about 20% of those tests, if the CDC is telling the truth, were positive for influenza. What the actual ****?
The entire reason you employ people like this and fork up their (considerable) paychecks is to spot dislocation style events that are out of the ordinary and check them out to see what the hell is going on!
Which they did not do.
You can't exactly blame Trump for this; he had exactly zero to do with these people getting hired and they're who he has to work with in the government.
And then, to top that off, we have a problem with shortages of N95 masks. We have a national stockpile. Well, to be more precise, we had a national stockpile. A lot of them got used up in 2009 when H1N1 ripped through the nation and killed a ton of people. There were no quarantines, no lockdowns, and in fact Barack Obama did damn near nothing, nor did state governors. He also did not replenish the supplies -- for the following how many years? Did Trump drop that ball? Well, we could start by asking whether he actually knew the supplies had been depleted and not replaced by Obama, right?
And speaking of these agencies much-vaunted claim to be "oh so wonderful" when it comes to the historical record with HIV/AIDS, may I remind you that the very same California that is now on lockdown, where the very surveillance in test-and-trace that people including Fauci claim is so important -- has in fact just been suspended in LA?
California, of course, is the place where our government including the NIH, NIAID AND CDC sat around with their dicks in their hands in the early 1980s, leaving San Francisco to do whatever the hell they felt like doing when the city refused to close the public bathhouses where gay men were screwing each other in the ass, often anonymously through "glory holes" in what were essentially gang-bang daily events. These very same government agencies were well-aware that this was the source of the serious spread of HIV throughout America. It was not until 1984, a full year after the epidemiological links to those locations and what was going on there were proved, that the bathhouses were closed.
Oh, and who was the Mayor then who could have declared a public health emergency and shut that crap down?
Why Ms. Feinstein, of course. Yes, that Feinstein.
There are approximately 450,000 American gay men who are dead as a result of that bull****, never mind a crap-ton of hemophiliacs who were dosed with HIV in a poisoned blood supply (also under FDA/CDC/government supervision.)
Those very same so-very smart "Diktors" who now proclaim and in fact insist that during a period of time where we have a virus that has no proved under FDA "rules" and "guidelines" effective treatment and a 95% fatality rate out of Wuhan if you wind up on a vent the focus of our efforts and justification for a 2-week "pause" at the federal level must be to....... make sure we have lots of vents.
Which the evidence, at this point, says don't work to save people who happen to have this virus 95% of the time.
Indeed we have GM that wants to make vents! Tesla claimed they wanted to make vents! Everyone wants to make $30,000 machines that can generate million dollar bills for our wonderful medical system and, if we do as well with them as China did, they will still leave you dead 95% of the time.
Multiple manufacturers have donated several million doses of hydroxychloroquine. A drug that may or may not work, but exactly who's ass is it anyway that's on the line if you're at high risk or get this bug? Fauci's? Naw, you can't have it; we're instead going to buy $30,000 machines, create six or even seven-figure bills when used and still leave you dead 95% of the time.
Yes, I know, all the millennial scolds and those that have come along since have no knowledge of this because, well, you weren't born yet. You've never researched the wonderful record our government has when it comes to public health emergencies. Most of you are Democrats and, may I remind you, so is Feinstein. Hell, many of you are "woke" about LGBTQPRSWXYZ! I guess Ms. Feinstein's little record on that point doesn't bother you so much, eh? I mean, it's only 450,000 lives. No biggie.
I watched it happen and play out in the news. I remember shaking my head; as a heterosexual man I couldn't believe that political correctness and "feels" was more important than people being mowed down like cordwood.
And if you think I'm going to respect anyone from those organizations in the face of evidence that there are alternatives, proved to FDA standards or not, when the alternative being put forward has a documented 95% failure rate I will make as much noise as I can so we do not make the same ****ing mistake with a novel virus twice and kill people once again due to "trusting" those who are from the very organizations that were responsible for mass-death the last time around and scolded people at the time about how they knew best what to do.
Meanwhile we have a drug therapy that has been used for fifty years for another indication, the bad reactions and contraindications to its use are very well understood as a result of all of those years of use, it was actually investigated for another related virus but the work was never finished despite it showing promise. There was no safety problem with it or anything like that -- they just lost interest because SARS faded away.
But it appears anecdotally and in small tests for this coronavirus it may well be effective.
Yet we're told repeatedly "well, we'll run some trials and get back to you" when those trials will be finished after both our economy and a decent percentage of the Grannys in America are lying dead in a smoking hole.
We're going to do the same thing we did in the 1980s when we refused to force closed those literal public viral spawning centers because, well, our betters in government just weren't sure enough and by God, the $30,000 a copy "answer" with a 95% failure rate will make people very rich at the same time.
I don't have a Piled-Higher-and-Deeper in medicine or pharmacology.
I don't need one to know the record of these government agencies and that they'd rather let the dude with the gushing artery die instead of letting the EMT use his ******n belt and a stick for a tourniquet. Yeah, the belt might not work.
But if I've got a 95% chance of leaving in a rectangular box if I wind up on a vent as a result of our government refusing to get this drug out there for those who choose it with full and fair disclosure that it indeed is not yet proved to FDA/NIH/whatever-the-**** standards after the CDCs and NIH's deliberate misfeasance over the last 15 years and more well.....
You better hope I'm in that 95% because if not... I think you can figure it out.
PS: There's another drug out there with promise too -- it's a Japanese flu drug. Of course drugs like this are not interesting to our **** you up the ass pharmaceutical industry, as they're only useful for a short while when you're sick. Far better to work on things for, oh, high blood pressure or cholesterol which you would have to take for years, or even for life. Never mind that it's pretty simple compound as well so it's easy to make -- and thus cheap. There is one fly in the ointment known for that particular option -- it's potentially teratogenic. Anyone remember thalidomide? On the other hand if you're old and thus at the highest risk from this virus, and are already sick that's not really much of a concern, is it?
And then, if that's not enough -- I'm increasingly convinced that the current R0 is nowhere near the claimed scary numbers. In fact, for community spread in places like Florida it may well be under 1.0 right here and now, which by definition means community spread cannot be maintained. This much I'm certain of -- the data does not support a claim of anything materially over 1.0 for community transmission under any set of circumstances in the wider community in Florida at this time where there is enough data to reasonably analyze same.
A couple of things to think about on your Sunday since all the churches are considered "non-essential" and have been forced to close.
