Cheap and Effective Alternatives

When the plague first set in back in early 2020, I suggested to my wife that we stock up on Aspirin in case we ended up in bed with a fever. I thought it also a good idea to stay away from hospitals if at all possible. Why risk infection from something nasty if we can treat ourselves at home?

As it turned out, none of us got seriously ill. Nor did any of our friends or friends of friends, except for a handful of people who were already ill from other causes. This indicates that the plague was never a pandemic, because everyone would know at least a handful of healthy individuals who became seriously ill if that was the case.

My hunch related to Aspirin was also correct. However, there's something better. It's called Ivermectin, and it's a bit of a miracle drug when it comes to treating viral infections. It costs about $1 a day, and cures most patients in less than a week, irrespective of virus variant. Comparing this to vaccines that are both expensive and largely ineffective against variants, it's clear that the myopic focus on vaccine development and distribution has been a costly mistake, both in money and lives.

This mistake derives from the fact that health care is very much controlled by politicians and bureaucrats, and such people don't care much about lives or money. They care about power. Hence, their real interest in the plague has been its potential for power expansion. Vaccine passports, rather than good health for everyone, was their goal from the start.

But their plan is hitting a few snags. The plague never became the pandemic that they had hoped for, and the vaccines are counterproductive. Just about everyone knows that the vaccine doesn't make anyone more healthy. It makes us less healthy. This makes it overtly clear that the passport has nothing to do with health, and everything to do with power and control.

Looking at search interest for Ivermectin, it appears that the cat is out of the bag. Search interest peaked early in the vaccine roll out. Then, it faded until Delta came along to prove the ineffectiveness of the vaccines. This sent search interest up again. It's now taking out previous highs, indicating a shift in focus from experimental vaccines to more traditional types of medicine.

Other alternatives are also regaining search interest. There's Hydroxychloroquine, Zink, and other supplements that are known to work. There's no lack of cheap alternatives to the vaccines.

That's a problem for the bureaucrats, because no passport can be associated with off the shelf medicines. With people loosing faith in the vaccine, it will be increasingly difficult to argue for the vaccine passport.
