There has actually been a long history of the HcG vaccines being tried out in the 3rd world (especially in the 90s). I wasn't aware of this until I read a detailed book summarizing everything that had been done (which I can send to anyone interested).

It was because of this that the people kenya decided to test the suspicious vaccine program that was suddenly introduced for HcG.

That said, if the vaccine has effects on fertility, it will most likely do it through a separate mechanism such as creating autoimmunity to the placenta (which has been suggested). I have heard of a lot of cases of women miscarrying immediately following the vaccination and significant changes in menstrual cycles so I think this is plausible however it will unfortunately be a long time before we know for certain.

The biggest issue is once in a while you get someone in the ER who burned themselves with one. I thought the animal part was pretty significant, but none of the animals I've observed ever cared about fireworks so I'm unsure if that's true or a myth (and this is coming from someone who cares about animals).

This strategically is probably the MOST important thing for the MAGA movement to do. Also, once everything is replaced with AI, Truckers will no longer have the ability to do this (and its very likely self driving trucks will be around in 2024). 100% peaceful justified nonviolent protest everyone has to listen to. If I had friends who were truckers I would encourage them to, but I actually don't.

The majority of businesses that strike people can ignore, but the entire liberal way of life rapidly falls apart without truckers and they will care a lot more about that than Trump.

There was a lovely blog written by a professor who was very critical of the university system (he's passed now) but he effectively broke down how

a) Marxist's took over and ruined college

b) The federal government giving unconditional loans that had no qualifications ruined college because it incentivized making it a for profit business at the expense of everything else, and in turn there was a massive expansion of the administrative caste which did nothing but take in money and focus on how to get more money, while the professors gradually got paid less and less and were strongly incentivized to lower their standards so the colleges could make more money. For instance, they cited lots of examples of teachers getting in trouble for busting kids for cheating as if the kids got busted for cheating and left the school the school lost money (I know one professor at a private school that ran into this problem). A lot of times when the federal government subsidizes something, they just create a bubble and make the quality go way down while the price goes way up but that's conservatism 101. I have no doubt from everything I've seen the majority of administrators would have no issue selling out their school and country to bring in more Chinese money.

All the CEOs in Silicon Valley spend a lot of money to send their kids to private schools that ban screens. I work a lot with neurology in my practice, and one of the depressing things I see is how damaging screens and social media are to developing children's brains. It's difficult to explain over text, but for a lot of children, it really fucks up their development and minds.

The two best books I've come across for describing parts of this concept are the Secret History of the War on Cancer (Devra Davis, available as an audiobook) and Trust Us, We're Experts (there's an abridged version of it that doesn't go into the shady industry tactics you can watch online called "Toxic Sludge is Good for You." I think these are awesome books, but as a disclaimer they are by left leaning authors, so nowadays they just complain about Trump and sort of miss the big picture.

Your experience matches a lot of what I've seen in the scientific system. There's a scientist who's done some good work named Gerlad Pollack that has a variety of theories about why science is no longer making any revolutionary or ground breaking discoveries, and he feels one of the major issues is the current grant system we have which incentivises the whole situation you are describing.

The thing you have to understand is that over a trillion dollars is spent each year on market research, marketing and public relations. Because so much money is spent on it, they've literally developed every possible thing to control the population. I feel on one level, a major difference between the L and the R (as they stand currently) is that the L is way more susceptible to mind control and marketing whereas the R is not. At the same time though, the systems of mind control we have are getting more and more advanced and refined. In a lot of ways, Trump is sort of the hedgepoint where we have to choose if we want to become slaves to the algorithms or embrace the chaos of liberty. There was a really interesting philosopher who wrote about all of this 100 years ago named ivan illich, and to some extent the unibomber had a similar message. The basic idea is that as society becomes more technologically advanced, it becomes more and more needed for socialists to micromanage everything to ensure the optimal flow of society. The unibombers perspective was that we should all say fuck it and move to the woods to escape this tide, while Illich felt the two lies our society was built upon were "You need a doctor to deal with health issues" and "You need to be taught to learn," and the key to unraveling all of this was to break free from both of those ideas.

If you have the ability to publish the stuff I've written (you can read my post history) I'm all for that. I write stuff on the donald because it's easy and safe, and there's a good audience that reads things that are well written.

There are basically hundreds of examples of the concepts I'm illustrating, but I was trying to make this concise and relateable to the audience here (plus I have job family etc.). Two of the better books I've read on the topic are The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Devra Davis, available as an audiobook) and Trust Us, We're Experts (there's an abridged version of it that doesn't go into the shady industry tactics you can watch online called "Toxic Sludge is Good for You.") The two best authors I've come across for discussing fraud within the medical industry and publican process are Peter Gotzche (Deadly Medicines and Organized Crime) and Doctor Malcom Kendrick (Doctoring Data, also has a blog).

I've done a lot of reading on the hormeosis hypothesis and always wondered if a certain amount of radiation was good for you (my general world view is that you should avoid radiation with prejudice). My own perspective is the primary issue with nuclear power is what is leaked into the environment (as this always happens) not what the workers are exposed to. Whenever you try to publish on a controversial topic, it's really difficult to get any traction and there are so many case studies I can think of for this :'(

It's an interesting landscape to navigate. There are a lot of people in your shoes, but they are all somewhat isolated and don't really want to speak up unless you find just the right way to approach them. I have about 50 friends who are physicians and know what's up (I will note 60% of them are not Trump supporters so this is in a broader sense rather than just looking at it politically), but having that network come together took a lot of time. It's unfortunate being a medical student because you are at the Mercy of so many people around you judging you for wrong think, so to a large extent you just need to coast through relatively under the radar and seem to be on the right side to everyone except the legit people you run into.

One interesting thing you will discover is that most physicians you work with will be aware specific drugs that are standard of care are not good medications with problems...but...which ones they awknowledge will vary person to person. For instance, Accutane and Statins are great examples. The majority of people who are in a specialty that actively prescribes them are very partisan about the drugs being safe and effective, but people not in their specialty can often see the blind spots.

That said I've been where you are, so if there's any good way for me to give you advice in an annonymous fashion I'd be happy to.

It's like a really fucked up pyramid scheme. They have no intrinsic way to support what they are doing, so they have to keep on cannibalizing larger and larger segments of the society to remain afloat.

to some extent I view it as a positive since it's made a lot more people aware of how phony a lot of this stuff is. Often when people want to BS they hide behind impressive sounding language most people can't understand and thus trust. Trump and TDS has blown the lid off a lot of that.

Ages back I read a book on marketing, and it said ideally you want to use universal appeals to sell your product so you have a larger customer base. It stated the two universal appeals were "You are Special" and "Everything that's wrong in your life is not your fault." This applies to a lot of the left, although it has also applied to other successful cults. Everyone always wants someone they can blame for all their issues they never worked out.

I think in the past that might have worked and would have saved a lot of the human species but now the tech is in China so we probably can't stop if by targeting Silicon Valley. I've spent time in that area and there are just some things are about the culture that are really sick, twisted and dark. On the surface its stuff like people being really into unhealthy sexual fetishes (being a cuck is the tip of the iceberg here), but on a deeper level theres something really dark in a lot of their souls. At the same time, there are also a lot of lovely people there I enjoyed being around, which makes it much harder for people who don't know the area well to spot all the sickness there.

Oh I'd love to! Unfortunately I will probably never meet anyone through this account and like the president I've avoided drinking.

That is true. You can also get quinine from tonic water and I have met people who have had some success treating covid with that approach.

One of the issues with generating ozone is that if you use room air to do it, it will make nitrogen oxides which are actually toxic and persist for a prolonged period after ozone generation. Ambient ozone kills COVID and quite a few countries are using it for this purpose (ie. I think brazil has ozone tunnels you can walk through to clean yourself), but if pure O2 is not the input to any type of generator you run into issues. Ozone is actually phenomenal for killing mold (which can be quite problematic), and thats the only time where I personally use it to clean spaces due to the issues with everything that's left in the air.

The dose it is administered at is far too low to oxidize healthy tissue. Most of the effects are from secondary messengers created by the initial reduction of ozone that occurs when it contacts the blood. Feel free to research this topic, there is a lot of literature explaining it.

So regarding the quercetin thing. Some people I know are working on research studies for that with COVID right now. Quercetin has a lot of different uses (ie. for allergies) and is sometimes helpful in a wide variety of conditions. It's also very safe and pretty cheap, so I think it's a very reasonable thing to take for prophylaxis as the worst case scenario for doing so (you wasted 20 dollars) isn't very bad. I'm hopeful it helps, but when I last checked all the evidence I found supporting that hypothesis was theoretical rather than empirical, and a lot of times theoretical things don't pan out once you test them. The thing I was touching upon, once you understand research design, is that it's so easy to distort studies to show whatever you want them to, and very few people have the ability to recognize how this occurs from reading scientific papers.

Sadly this has been the state of research for a long time. Tons of good books have been written on the subject. Research is so expensive and has such large economic implications that it naturally lends itself to corruption. Similarly, the medical journals are largely dependent on pharma money, so they turn a blind eye to a lot of it. Editors of a few of the main journals have all come out and said most of the peer reviewed literature is garbage and it's impossible to tell which published studies are valid. I think its pretty sad the articles got published because the fake database should have been caught by a basic peer review (I read the published study to make sure in this regard). There are a ton of eyes on it this time, so they were forced to retract, but in the past there hasn't really been any recourse for the top journals publishing garbage.

Med pede here. I've been working my butt off since December to try and get a cure for COVID to the general public. Here are my overall thoughts on this area (ultimately just have to take me at my word at that I know what I'm talking about).

There are a variety of antiviral therapies that work quite well but have never received adoption into standard of care due to commercial interests suppressing them. Whats happening with HCQ seems outrageous, but there's been so many other things I've seen get identical treatment without any coverage or focus from the public. My opinion is that all the treatments can be grouped into a few different degrees of efficacy: A: 100% cures all cases of the virus except certain critically ill patients. B: Fairly effective but not 100% cure all. C: Minimally effective, sometimes harms outweigh possible benefit of the therapy.

I would say that all the known therapies that fall under A could be classified as "UV light or disinfectants you put into your body" or more specifically getting ozone gas, chlorine dioxide or UV light into the blood stream. Most of the existing data showing effiacy that exists here for ozone (it's being used in hospitals in 10 countries, there are hundreds of reports of people having miraculous recoveries immediately after starting ozone often when they were expected to otherwise die, and at least 10 clinical trials have been launched but at this point the FDA has not approved ozone to be used in the united states). Chlorine dioxide has been studied in ecuador and got very good results there (so it's becoming part of their standard care for COVID), and I spoke to colleagues in Germany who used it for COVID until they were raided by the local government. People have been exploring UV light and trying to launch studies on it, but I am not yet familiar with any positive results from this approach besides some anecdotal outpatient applications on COVID patients (although its used heavily in Russia, and if I spoke Russian I suspect I could find data somewhere on this application). People I've been working with are also convinced they've found a few other approaches that fit under category A (such as using AI to screen millions of compounds to identify plant compounds to treat COVID) but at this point in time, while they've reported that data to me, I have no way to verify the claims and I know people always exaggerate.

I believe HCQ+Zinc and the Ivermectin approach detailed here fall under category B. I've seen a really big mix of responses to these treatments (both in patients I've directly worked with and from reading reports). Some people respond really well, others have minimal benefit. For instance, the last person my hospital admitted to for COVID had been on HCQ+Zinc+Azithromycin at the prehospitalization stage and then gradually decompensated and needed ICU care. Theres also another drug called Nitazoxanide many of my colleagues have been swearing is the treatment for COVID, but this also just has very little data to support the claim.

I then believe Remdesvir falls under category C. Unfortunately all the money is behind it so it's been treated as A+.

One major point of confusion with COVID is that there seem to be 2 different diseases. One is a horrible plague that hits very specific areas at certain times, the other is equivalent to a flu (and represents the majority of cases). I've looked at a lot of different hypothesis to explain why this is occurring (ultimately no one has really given a good answer on why this is), and there is not yet a reason I feel confident stating is the definitive answer (although my hunch is that there are different viruses the tests can't distinguish between or an environmental factor is setting it off in certain places). With the benign form of the disease, many more therapies work, whereas with the deadly form of the disease, far fewer options work (but I know for instance that ozone and chlorine dioxide do). I believe a lot of the conflicting reports on treatments working on an outpatient basis are due to people treating the benign rather than the severe form of the disease and then reporting efficacy.
