I should state at the outset that were it not for doctors, I would either be paralyzed or dead. (Snip) However, I will now state with equal certitude that the American medical profession as a whole and many individual doctors are responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans -- very possibly, more than that.
Along with the media -- from The New York Times to Google/YouTube, Facebook and Twitter -- Americans have been denied both life-saving information and life-saving drugs.
I am specifically referring to hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. These drugs (along with zinc), which are as safe as any medicines humanity has taken in the last half-century,

Physicians were not permitted to prescribe it. Fauci has blood on hands, again.

Democrats and the Fake News Media who were afraid that a quickly curtailed pandemic will help Trump in November, bear a large part of the responsibility.

As I was growing up and even into adulthood, doctors I had practiced "do no harm", meaning they would take a chance on a drug because it would do no harm even if it didn't do any good. Doctors were allowed to make decisions on your health care without consulting your medical insurance or their malpractice lawyers. None of these drugs would do harm - most have been around for decades. Yes, I believe that Dr. fauci has blood on his hands and so does the WHO and the CDC.

So, The Media Lied, And People Died! The Democrats Lied, And People Died! Fauci Lied, And People Died! President Trump was the most honest man in Washington.

Well since we are playing antidotal medicine, I have seen (literally) the miracle drug hydroxychloroquine kill a COVID patient with an acute ventricular arrhythmia. You know, one of the most common listed side effects of this drug. And I have seen well over a dozen people that had to stop the miracle hydroxychloroquine drug because if caused fibrosis of the lungs (hey, if ok to to 'save' someone from CONVD death just to die of suffocation from fibrosed lung. And I have seen a COVID patient die of 'complications of COVID' while taking ivermectin.

Not permitting proper treatment is criminal.

That the medical establishment caved under political pressure to not widely use these drugs is a travesty. Yes, some states outright banned it but doctors should have been proactive. Instead, most have meekly complied with the politicians and bureaucratic medicine. Henry Ford Hospital did a study using HCQ and zinc on hospitalized patients with very good results and asked the FDA for an EAU to use the treatment protocol. They were denied and also got so much negative feedback that they gave up the fight. Dr. Harvey Risch, a Yale epidemiologist, promoted the use of HCQ and was formally criticized by his colleagues. Senator Ron Johnson held hearings on early treatments only to see videos of testimonies from medical doctors removed from YouTube.
So many have died from this virus and so many will before we achieve a high vaccination percentage. There are new strains developing and we don’t know how effective the vaccines will be. That every reasonable treatment option isn’t being utilized is a travesty. It brings shame upon the medical profession.

These drugs are not for bad cases. They are supposed to be taken early on in the disease. In some of the studies which "proved" hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) doesn't work, the drug was given to very ill patients and yes, many of them died. In some third-world countries where HCQ is a common medicine, the death rates have been a small fraction of what they are in the advanced countries.

I consider myself an expert in alternative medicine. This article explains why I started treating myself. Additionally, I've had more than my fair share of inept and unqualified physicians, nurses and even physical therapists. For the record, I know how to treat a number of things that mainstream medicine does not.

I’m with you, #12, though I’m not exactly treating myself. I’ve been battling acid reflux (GERD) for 3 years. A gastro-interologist prescribed omeprazole at 4 times the OTC dosage. It’s only supposed to be taken for a couple of weeks but he had me on it for months. It helped some, but not enough. On a follow-up visit I asked about long term effects and he said that it can cause loss of bone density. I’m a 68 year old woman with many of the proclivities for osteoporosis and I told him that I already had osteopenia - the precursor to osteoporosis. He shrugged. A year later I had a bone density test and I now have full blown osteoporosis and am having to get annual infusions to slow it down.
After that I quit taking his prescribed meds and went to a holistic practice which put me on several supplements instead of drugs. They have been helping, but I then decided to try acupuncture as well and voila! - the symptoms are almost gone. No heartburn and a lot less throat irritation, coughing and raspy voice.
I don’t know that I will ever completely trust western medicine again. And that’s another reason why I won’t be getting the covid “vaccine”.

When someone says "antidotal medicine" and then tries to come of as some expert, you can be sure that they are NOT.
That would be anectodal for literate English speakers. But for internet experts.....I guess they confuse an anecdote with an antidote, dangerous business for 'experts'.

Exactly right -- and his personal experience is interesting. The medical establishment has enabled and encouraged mass deaths. Some of this was because they wanted Trump to be blamed so he would lose the election. That's why there are some favorable articles about these medicines now that he is not in office. Another reason is the drug companies, who would not be making the huge profits they are if cheap, effective medicines had been available and encouraged. I suspect another reason too; I'll put it in a comment.
