tHIS FRUSTRATING SITUATION BETWEEN LIBERAL AND CONSERVATIVE IS SOMETHING THAT COULD NEVER HAVE ENTERED MY IND BEFORE IT ACTUALLY BECAME A REALITY. wHO COULD EVER IMAGINE SUCH A SITUATION? tHAT YOU CAN'T EXPECT TO HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH PEOPLE WHO ORDINARILY ESILY HAVE DISCUSSIONS WITH YOU WHTHER FRIENDS OR EVEN JUST PEOPLE YOU'VE MET? oN PERSONAL SUBJECTS MAYBE IT WOULD MAKE SOME SENSE, BUT THEN IT WOULD BE EASILY UNDDRSTOOD WHY DISCUSSION WAS IMPOSSIBLE. bUT THESE ARE GENERAL TOPICS, POLITICAL TOPICSNOT PERSONAL ONES. wHO COULD EVER HAVE IMAGINED IT?
i JUST HEARD OF SOMEONE WHO IS AN "ANTI tRUMPER" BUT i CAN'T ASK WHETHER HE'S THAT BECAUSE HE HAS BELIEVED THE LONG LIST OF LIES ABOUT tRUMP OR BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LIKE HIS PERSONALITY OR WHATEVER. i CAN'T ASK BECAUSE IT WAS A LITERAL WHO MENTIONED IT TO ME, IN THE USUAL CONTEXT OF GIVING INFORMATION i'M NOT ASK ABOUT. jUST FOR MY INFORMATION SORT OF THING. sO i WON'T BE SURPRISED TO DISCUOVER IT MYSELF. bUT MIGHT NEVERTHELESS LIKE THE MAN'S OPINION ON OTHER THIHNGS. wELL, IT TURNS OUT i DO LIKE THE MAN'S OPINION ON MANY THINGS WHICH MAKES ME SUSPECT THAT IF HE IS AN ANTI tRUMPER IT COULD VERY WELL BE BECAUSE HE BELIEVES SOME OF THOSE LIES ABOUT tRUMP, WO THAT IF SOMEONE DISABUSED HIM OF THE LIES HE MIGHT NOT BE AN ANTI tRUMPER. oH SURE HEMIGHT. bUT HE MIGHT NOWT. sOMEPEOPLE ARE AGAINST tTRUMP BECAUSE THEY DO BELIEVE THOSE LIES.
jUST HEARD A CLIP OF kAMALA hARRIS, i SUPPOSE A RECENT CLIP, ON bEN sHAPIRO'S PROGRAM i THINK, IN WHICH SHE GOES ON AND ON ABOUT HOW tRUMP IS THE CAUSE OF EVERYTHING HORRIBLE, PROMOTES HATRED, RACISM OH i CAN'T REMEMBER ALL O FIT, JUST SUCH A BAD MAN IT'S AMAZING THAT HALF THE COUNTRY LIKE HIM. gUESS WE ARE ALL SUCH BAD PEOPLE THEN. bUT MY MAIN POINT WAS THAT SHE PRPOMOTIED THE USUAL LIE ABOUT tRUMP'S SUPPOSED APPROVAL OF THE nEOnAZIS AT cHARLOTTESEVILLE. gOOD GRIEF, EVEN THE SPEECH ITSELF FROM WHICH THAT INSANE LIE WAS TAKEN DEOUNCED THE NEO nAZIS AS PRECISELY THOSE HE WAS not TALKING ABOUT. tHAT SAME SPEECH. aND THERE ARE OTHER OCCASIONS ON WHICH HE DENOUNCED THEM. yET THE LIE LIVES ON, AND i DON'T KNOW IF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PROMOTING IT BELIEVE IT OR ARE ALSO TAKEN IN BY IT. kAMALA hARRIS? aLL YOU'D HAVE TO DO IS LISTEN TO THAT SPEECH.
aND THEN i NCOUNTERED ANOTHER FAMILIAR CASE OF A LIE THAT PERSISTS AND PERSISTS NO MATTER WHAT IS SAID ABOUT HOW WRONG IT IS BY THE PEOPLE SHOE WHO BELIEVE THE LIE WILL NOT LISTEN TO. tHAT WHOLE covid cOLLECTION OF lIES. tHAT'S AN INTERESTING STUDY IN ITSELF. sTARTING WITH THE EARLY DISCOVERY OF hYDROXYCHLOROQUINE AS A USEFUL ANTIVIRAL THERAPEUTIC IN ITS TREATMENT, WHICH i STARTED HEARING ABOUT WITHOUIN A FEW MONTHS OF THE FIRST MENTIONS OF THE NEW VIRUS. sOMEONE i KNOW HAD A CASE OF covid AND i VENTURED TO SUGGEST THAT hcl WAS STILL A GOOD ANTIVIRAL RECOMMENDATION IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO STIOLL GET IT, BUT THE PERSON IS A LIBERAL AND JUST SDISMISSED IT WITH AN INDIGNANT TONE OF VOICE AS IF i'D PROPOSED SHE DRINK BLEACH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
tHERE'S JUST NO WAY TO GET A LIBERAL TO TAKE THE TIME TO HEAR AOUT THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST WHATEVER IT IS THEY ARE SO CONVINCED OF. sHE'S HEARD THAT THERE ARE ALL THESE STUDIES THAT PROVED hcl WAS INEFFECTIVE AGAINST covid. tHAT IS TO HER MIND WHAT sCIENCE CONCLUDES ON THE SUBJECT AND SHE HADS NO INTEREST IN HEARING WHAT A cONSPIRACY THINKER WHICH IS WHAT i SUPPOSE SHE PRIVATELY CONSIDERES ME TO BE, WOULD HAVE TO SAY ON THE SUBJECT. tHERE'S AHTAT IRONCLAD HERMETICALLY SEALED PBARRIER IN ONE OF ITS MANY FORMS AGAINST COMMUNICATION THAT COULD CONCEIVABLY CHANGE A LIBERAL'S MIND.
sO SHE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOW hcl BECAME THE DRUG OF CHOICE IN THOSE EARLY DAYS, SHE'S CONTENT WIHTH THE "NARRATIVE. bUT TWO MEN, SOMEBODY rAOUL IN fRANCE, AND dR. zEV zELENKO IN nEW yORK STATE WHO WAS DOCTOR TO A COMMUNJITY OF ORTHJODOX jEWS, BOTH DISOVERED hcl AS A POSSIBLE THERAPEUTIC ABOUT THE SAME TIME. from studying the medical literature ON THE SUBJECT OF rREPURP rEPRPOSED dRUGS THAT MIGHT BE USEFUL IN TREATING A VIRUS. hcl WAS LISTED AS EFFECTIVE AS AN ANTIVIRUS, THOUGH USED FOR DECADES FOR OTHER CONDITIONS SUCH AS LUPUS, MALARIA AND RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS. a PERFECTLY RESPECTABLE WELL TESTED DRUG, PERFECTLY SAFE AND KNOWN TO HAVE ANTIVIRAL PROPERTIES. zEV ZELECKO DISOCVERED THIS IN THE LIBTERATURE AND SO DID dR. rAOUL IN fRANCE ABOUT THE SAME TIME, AND EACH OF THEM DISCOVERECD UPON USING IT WITH THEIR OWN PATIENTS THAT IT PREVENTED THE DISEACSE FROM GETTING SEVERE AND SAVED ALL OF RTHEM FROM DEATH. i THINK ALL, PERHAPS ALL BUT ONE OR TWO OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT i THINK ALL, AND BOTHE DOCTORS HAD THOUSANDS OF PATEINCTS. zELENKO HAD TWO PATIENTS DIE OF covid BEFORFE HE DISCOVERED hcl AND AFTER HE STARTED APPLYING IT HE HAD NO MORE DEATHS. tHAT'S HOW i RMEEMBER THE ACCOUNT. aND THEN HE SENT THE INFORMATION OTO pRESIDENT tRUMP WHO MADE IT PUBLIC, AT WHICH POINT THE EVIL ANTItRUMPERS ALL SET ABOUT DEBUNKING IT JUST BECAUSE IT WAS tRUMP WHO SAID IT. aND THEN THERE WERE SOME STUDIES THAT SEEMED TO CORROBORATE THE ASSESSMENT OF THE DRUG AS INEFFECTIVE AND THAT WAS THE END OF THAT.
aS i PRESENTED WHAT i KNEW IN PREVIOUS POSTS AT THE TIME, THE STUDIES WERE BADLY DONE. aLL OF THEM. aPPRARENTLY zEWLEKNKO AND TOERHS WHO TRIED IT GOT THE RIGHT IDEA, USED IT IN THE RIGHT DOSE WITH THE RIGHT POPULATION AT THE RIGHT TIE IN THE SMBOM PICTURE TO SAVE THEIR PATIENTS. bUT THE STUDIES WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE. gIVEN TO THE WRONG AGE GROUP TOO LATE IN THE SYMBTOM PCITURE TO BE OF USE, AND OFTEN WITHOUT INK C WHICH IS ESSENTIAL TO ITS EFFECTIVENEESS. iT HAS TO BE GIVEN IN THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF THE FIRST SYPTOMS BECAUSE BEYOND THAT THE VIRUS HAS ACCUMULATED TOO MUCH PRESENCE IN THE BODY FOR THE TREATMENT TO BE OF USE. aND THERE IS NO POINT IN GIVING IT TO A YOUNG POPULATION WHO SURVIVE covid WITHOUT ANY TREATMENT, YET IT WAS GIVEN TO THEM ALONG WITH EVERYBODY ELSE WHICH MADE THE FINDINGS TOO CONFUSED TO BE USEFUL. iT WAS USUALLY GIVEN WITHOUT ZINC, BUT IT IS THE ZINC THAT KILLS THE VIRUS, THE hecl BEING THE INGREDIENT THAT MAKES THE ZINC AVAILABLE FOR THE PURPOSE. qUERCETIN FORWORKS THE SAME WAYH, TO OPEN THE CELL FOR THE ENTRANCE OF THE ZINC WHICH THEN ATTACKS THE VIRUS. mANY PEOPLE DIED OF covid BECAUSE THE hcl WAS GIVEN TOO LATE TO BE EFFECTIVE, BECAUSE IT WAS NJOT GIVEN WITH ZINC AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. oNE OF THE STUDIES, ONE DONE IN bRAZIL, DID NOT USE hcl BUT cHLORQUINE, A PRECURSOR FORM OF THE DRUG WHICH IS LETHAL AT HIGHER DOSES, WHICH WERE IVEN TO PATIENTS IN THEIR STUDYH SO MATHAT MANY DIED OF THE DRUG RATHER THAN OF dovid OR AT LEAST THAT'S PROBABLY THE CASE. hcl GOT A BAD NAME BECAUSE OF A LOT OF BAD STUDIES. aND THEN THERE WAS ONE STUDY WHICH WAS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FRAUD, A COMPLETE INVENTION THAT SOMEHOW GOT PUBLISHED IN A PRESTIGUIOUS MEDIAL JOURNAL, THE lANCET. a LIE FROM BEGINNING TO END IN THAT CASE.
wAS THIS ALL ABOUT MONEY? bIG pHARMA? hcl IS A CHEAP DRUG BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN USED FOR DECADES. nOBODY MAKES MONEY OFF IT. oTHER DRUGS WERE BEING RECOMMENDED WHICH HAD NO EFFICACY OR LITTLE EFFICACY BUT COST A LOT MORE. sO WAS THE MOTIVE FOR ALLY THIS LYING MONEY? wHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR MEDICAL PROFESSION IF SO?
i CAN CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND BEING SKEPITAL UPON HEARING ABOUT ALL THIS. wE ARE USED TO TRUSTING OUR CREDENTIALED LDEADRERS IN ANY FIELD. bUT THE TURTH IS OUT THERE AND NOBODY ESEEMS TO BE TAKING THE TROUPLE TO FIND OUT ABOUT IT. dOCTORS AND NURSES STILL BEELIVE THE LIES. tHEY BELIEVE WHATEVER THEIR SUPERIORS TELL THEM. yES UNDER ORDINARY CONDITIONS THAT'S THE RIGHT THIJGNG TO DO. bUT THERE ARE RED FLAPGS ALL OVER THE PLACE IN THIS SITUATION. kNOWN HIGHOLY REPUTABLE DOCTORS WERE GETTING SILENCED IF THEY SAID ANYTNING DIFFERENT FROM THE CHOISEN NARRATIVE. sILENCED. sINCE WHEN DOES aMERICA SILENCE DISEENTING OPINIONS? bUT IT WAS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME DURING THE PERIOD OF THE PANDEMMIC. iT WAS CALLSD "MISINFORMATION" AS IF POLITICALLY MOTIVATED SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGERS WERE QUALIFIED TO MAKE SUCH A DTERMINATION. oR IF ANYONE COUJLD OR SHOULD IN ANY CASE EVER. tHIS IS aMERICA. wE LET PEOPLE SPEAK. dON'T WE? oH YOU COULD HEAR IT ALL BUT YOU'D HAVE TO GOV TO OTHER PLACES TO HEAR IT THAN THE SUUAL SOCIAL MEDIA OR STANDARD NEWS SOURCES. iT'S OUT THERE BUT IT'S BEHIND THAT WALL, THAT BARRIER THAT DIVIDES THE NATION SO THAT AT LEAST HAVLF THE NATION BELIEVES THELIE AND THERE IS NO MAY TO GET THE TRUTH TO THEM.
iRON cURTAIN. yES, IRT'S REALLY LIKE THE OLD IRON CURTAIN, ONLY IN THIS CASE IT DIVIDES ONE SINGLE NATION RATHER THAN SIMPLY CLOSING OFF A NATION FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD. aMAZING.
nOW AND THEN PEOPLE LAMENT THIS DIVISION BETWEEN US AND TRY TO COME UP WITH WAYS TO OPEN THINGS UP TO DISCUSSION BUT IT NEVER WORKS. tHERE'S SOMETHING NAIVE ABOUT THE EFFORT i SUPPOSE. i STILL WRACK MY BRAIN FOR WAYS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. bUT NOTHING WORLKS. tHE NEWS MEDIA ARE SEALED OFF, THE SOCIAL MEDIA ARE SEALED OFF, BUT INDIVIDUALS THEMSELVES ARE SEALED OFF. pART OF THE NAIVETE IS SOME VAUGE IDEA THAT IT'S ALL JUST A BIG MISTAKE AND WE CAN OALL JUST OVER COME OUR SILLY PREJUDICES AND EMBRACE ONE ANOTHER AND FIND COMMON GROUND OR LEARN TO APPRECIATE OUR DIFFERENCES OF OPINION. bUT THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE WHEN ONE SIDE IS FED BY LIES. yOU HAVE TO BE EILLINGOTO CONDSIDER SOMETHING THAT WOULD QUESTION YOUR WHOLE FRAME OF REFERENCE. mOST PEOPLE ARE NOT WILLING TO DO THAT EASILY AND ALL THE INFORMATION THEY ARE FRECEIVING ON THE LEFT WORKS AGAINST THEIR MAKING THE EFFORT. NAMECALLING, BRANDING THE rIGHT AS CONSPIRACY THINKERS OR FASCISTS OR WHATNOT, THAT'S ALL IT TAKES. kEEP CALLING US NAMES OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR A THING WE HAVE TO SAY. eVEN IF ON THE SURFACE THEY REMAIN FIRENDS WITH US. wHAT A STRANGE SITUATION.
correction?: : i DON'T KNOW WHY i KEPT WRITING hcl FOR hYDROXYCHLOROQUINE. iT SHOULD BE hcq. i HOPE i GOT THAT RITGHT SINCE i CAN'T SEE IT. hcq. iS THAT CLEARER? i DON'T KNOW BUT AT LEAST IT PROBABLY ISN'T hcl
