Around the United States, in numerous cases, hospitalized COVID-19 patients have asked for Ivermectin but were denied the drug, and then sought a court order forcing the hospital to provide the requested medication. Ivermectin, which has been used safely in humans since 1985, has shown promise in treating the virus, especially when taken early. Although it is an off-label use and not guaranteed to work every time, it is legal for doctors to prescribe Ivermectin for COVID-19, and many patients, some desperate and dying, want to give it a try. Why are so many hospitals opposed to trying safe, inexpensive Ivermectin? (snip) The federal government, pharmaceutical, and insurance companies hold

This article is a sick-maker. We had a pretty good idea this was the case, but here it is - in print. Those entities never see our patient charts. Yet they “hold the reins” on our treatment choices.

I have had low blood pressure my entire life. I went to the doc at my wife's insistence. My blood pressure was astronomical. But I had it taken... No, those cuffs and machines are way off. Here's some medication. Since relocating I have found a new doc. Guess what...I got low blood pressure again. My wife thinks it's the meds working. Uh, no...no, it's not. Medicine now relies on introducing patients to "significant life events" to induce fright and compliance. Take these meds. Come back in a month, and next month, and ad infinitum. In short, they lie. Don't think that doc you're talking to has your interests in mind. There is a strong possibility she's not doing you harm, so much as draining the system as a profit generator. Those Lexus aren't cheap.

Hasn't the moron that wrote this ever heard of Medicare? Jeez, of course the Goobernment has been driving medical decisions for generations. Hey, but at least we get cheap health care after age 65! Medisacare is first dollar in first dollar out. So all of us paying Medicare taxes now are paying the cost of healthcare consumers now. Enjoy it now case this pongee scheme is collapsing really fast thanks to Bidenomics.

Read the RFKennedy Jr. book for the answer. Most physicians do care about their [patients, but are prevented by government rules in and out of hospitals. The reason for the absence of discussion is fear of advertisement withdrawal by big pharma. As well as ridicule by "liberal"politicians.

So, the docs don't want you to get well because they don't make any money if you are well. Setting it up so that docs want you sick is flat out evil. So now government has made docs evil.

Speaking of health care as a policy, The old Chinese in Taiwan (cir. 1967) paid their medical providers regularly - what ever the agreement called for. When they fell ill and couldn't work, they would stop paying their doctor. Their doctor would then go to work, making his patient healthy enough to return to work and resume payment. Of course preventative care such as acupuncture and herbal 'prescriptions' were also used extensively to ensure the patients' ongoing health and his ability to work and continue the "tithe." Very reasonable and practical, I thought.

Health care "choices?" More like forced cards. I just today saw a copy of a joint CDC-USPostal Service notification that Ivermecton was in a person's shipment from overseas so the entire package was confiscated then destroyed.

It's official. The fed goobermint doesn't want anyone trying Ivermectin because that would mean they couldn't be able to control the virus anymore. They prefer that patients die to succeed in their hold over the population.

One set of dots left unconnected. Let's say YOUR practioner WANTS to give you Ivermectin. If the FDA doesn't allow the doc to TREAT your covid, how can he do it in this system? Everything is reported. Everything is monitored. Unless there's an outbreak of River Blindness, the doc cannot justify having and prescribing or distributing Ivermectin. Basically, we're ... up the proverbial river without a paddle.

Efforts to Suppress Free Speech

A previously unseen Oct. 2020 email from Dr. Francis Collins, the outgoing head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to his colleague Dr. Anthony Fauci is raising concerns about government-sponsored suppression of free speech—a direct violation of the 1st Amendment. The email, which appears in a footnote of a Dec. 17 year-end staff report from House Democrats, shows the behind-the-scenes efforts from Collins and Fauci, who were pushing a fresh round of lockdowns, to discredit the Great Barrington Declaration and disparage its authors. The Great Barrington Declaration was an Oct. 2020 letter that ran counter to the efforts of Fauci and Collins by declaring a unified opposition to broad-based lockdowns,

We reported earlier about the speech Joe Biden would make today and what it was likely to cover. But when he finally gave his remarks today, it was bad. He was coughing throughout his remarks.White House Press Psaki Jen Psaki told reporters he was “asymptomatic” after having been exposed to a staffer who had COVID but he’s continued his regular schedule after only having one negative test. “He’s asymptomatic. I spent several hours with him this morning and he is feeling great,” she said. He’s supposed to get another test tomorrow. That made a lot of people think he was positive because you usually don’t use the term “asymptomatic” unless

Credit President Joe Biden with not hitting the panic button in his speech on the Omicron wave — but that’s about it. The prez rightly noted this isn’t March 2020, and no new lockdowns should be necessary. But that was the closest he came to anything original. And it serves his interests: Declaring a new crisis would highlight how badly he’s failed on his 2020 vow to “shut down the virus.” It’s now clear that he thought then that all he’d need to do was continue distributing the vaccines developed before he took office, that’s it. (Hence his declaration in July that we’d achieved “independence from COVID-19” because vaccinations were going well.)

Flying cars are still the stuff of Jetsonian dreams, but self-driving cars are already here. But these semi-autonomous vehicles come with a host of issues. For instance, they must be able to deal with the erratic driving behaviors of humans, as well as unexpected obstacles on the road, such as a wild deer crossing the highway. But a critical though lesser discussed problem associated with self-driving cars involves surveillance. These vehicles look likely to be used as surveillance tools, closely monitoring our every move. Worse still, China, a country that has expanded mass surveillance and integrated it into every part of Chinese life, is leading the self-driving revolution.
