Questioning COVID

Clinicians, Researchers, & Health Experts from Around the World Interrogating the Mainstream Narrative Around the Pandemic
WE BELIEVE…

We believe this crisis represents a world-changing opportunity to expose and transform antiquated ideologies that restrict health freedom. Germ theory is a scientifically bankrupt paradigm based in warfare models of pathogenic invasion. This theory has been leveraged as an instrument for geopolitical and social control – largely in the form of a vaccination agenda – to subdue the populace through coerced and forced bodily penetration and associated disability, mortality, and surveillance. As a result, conventional Western medicine functions as a sort of religion based on consensus assumptions and dogmatic medical monotheistic posturing. At its core, this approach is not salugenic or scientific and thus violates its stated ethical parameters around informed consent, beneficence, and an uncompromised evidence base.

We believe that citizens should be free to exercise their natural right to practice medicine as they see fit – in retention both of bodily sovereignty and civil liberties. To that end, we orient ourselves around the foundational premises that the body is inherently wise, that symptoms are meaningful, and that radical healing is eminently possible when we align with the earth and honor our place in the natural world.

A Bishop’s Stortford woman recovering from suspected Covid-19 has written a blog to help others with underlying health conditions who catch the virus.
Jo Doyle, 44, suffers from a number of complications including chronic pain as a result of Lyme disease, which she contracted in the United States – but its impact did not become truly apparent until after the arrival of second daughter Eva, now eight. She and husband Nick, 45, an accountant, are also parents to 10-year-old Isabella. (See link for article)

HCQ Breakthrough: ICMR Finds It’s Effective in Preventing Coronavirus, Expands Its Use

HCQ breakthrough: ICMR finds it’s effective in preventing coronavirus, expands its use

Three studies find that hydroxychloroquine reduces chances of contracting Covid, so ICMR allows more frontline workers to take it as a preventive drug.

22 May, 2020 

New Delhi: The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), the country’s apex body in the field, has found that consuming the drug hydroxychloroquine reduces the chances of getting infected with Covid-19.

As a result, ICMR released an advisory Friday to expand the usage of HCQ — an anti-malarial drug — as a preventive treatment against the novel coronavirus.

The conclusion has been drawn on the basis of three studies conducted by the ICMR.

The advisory suggests surveillance workers, paramilitary and police personnel, as well as medical staff working in non-Covid hospitals and blocks to start consuming the pill as “preventive therapy”.  (See link for article)

Abstract

Tick-borne agents of disease continue to emerge and subsequently expand their geographic distribution. The threat to blood safety by tick-borne agents is ever increasing and requires constant surveillance concomitant with implementation of appropriate intervention methods. In April 2017, the Food and Drug Administration organized a public workshop on emerging tick-borne pathogens (excluding Babesia microti and Lyme disease) designed to provide updates on the current understanding of emerging tick-borne diseases, thereby allowing for extended discussions to determine if decisions regarding mitigation strategies need to be made proactively. Subject matter experts and other stakeholders participated in this workshop to discuss issues of biology, epidemiology, and clinical burden of tick-borne agents, risk of transfusion-transmission, surveillance, and considerations for decision making in implementing safety interventions. Herein, we summarize the scientific presentations, panel discussions, and considerations going forward.

I only had access to the abstract, but Dr. Cameron writes more fully on the workshop here:  https://danielcameronmd.com/babesia-infection-transmitted-blood-supply/

Interestingly, according to the abstract, they excluded Babesia and Lyme, which are arguably two of the largest problems. It was pointed out that 200 cases of Babesia were transmitted through blood transfusions at the time of the workshop and that Anaplasma is next with increasing clinical cases.

Evidently there have been no reported cases of Lyme transmitted through the blood supply.

 

Other tick-borne pathogens have been transmitted through donated blood, but these occurrences are rare. (Or rarely reported)

  • 11 cases: A. phagocytophilum, responsible for Anaplasmosis (transmitted by the Ixodes ticks)
  • 2 cases: Tick-borne encephalitis virus complex (TBEV, Powassan virus, DTV), (transmitted by the Ixodes ticks)
  • 1 case: Colorado tick-fever virus (transmitted by Rocky Mountain wood ticks)
  • 1 case: Rickettsia rickettsii, the agent of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (transmitted by the Lone Star tick)
  • 1 case: Ehrlichia ewingii (transmitted by the Lone Star tick)

In addition, “two emerging [tick-borne agents] − B. miyamotoi and Powassan virus were discussed − for B. miyamotoi,cases have steadily increased since 2014.”

Dr. Phillips Dad’s Recent COVID-19 Outrage & Triumph

https://threader.app/thread/1269642397836869634

Steven Phillips, MD+Your Authors@StevePhillipsMDYale-trained MD, author, & researcher. Likes: Truth. Dislikes: Lies. Hobbies: Distinguishing science from propaganda. Tweets don’t contain medical advice.Jun. 07, 2020 3 min read

My Dad’s recent #COVID19. Not an academic document-just sharing a human experience of outrage & triumph.

My Dad is almost 90, frail as can be, in a nursing home. I went to visit him 3 months ago & wore a mask before it was fashionable to protect him just in case I had it.

I sent an email to 5 people at the nursing home the next day saying that I was shocked that none of the staff or visitors were wearing PPE. I warned them that the now infamous Seattle nursing home which had massive deaths early on in the #COVID pandemic was a sentinel event.

I warned them that they needed to “act now” to prevent a “major tragedy,” but not a single one of the recipients responded to my email, silence. I reached out to my Dad’s doctor to discuss the situation. She felt that he was a sitting duck and that prophylaxis was appropriate.

For those who don’t know, my Dad had severe heart failure from #Lyme 20+ years ago. Top NYC cardiologists could only recommend heart transplant & said he’d be dead in 6-12 months without it. Long story short, antibiotics saved his life. The heart transplant was avoided.

He took several regimens for #Lyme back then, of which az/hcq was one & it was very effective. Before #COVID brought az/hcq to public consciousness, it had been previously published as a regimen for chronic #Lyme. Countless patients have taken it safely.  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14586290/ 

Since my Dad had taken az/hcq safely in the past, his doctor recommended re-treating him with it, both for his persistent Lyme symptoms 20 years later (although his heart is still strong) as well as for prophylaxis against #COVID19. My brothers and I agreed.

He’s been on it for 3 months without side effects. EKG has been unchanged. He was put on zinc to enhance its good effects & magnesium to reduce its cardiac toxicity.

As I had warned, in the time since I sent my email to the nursing home, they’ve had a massive #COVID death toll.

My Dad has been subjected to overwhelming #COVID exposure and never developed a single symptom. He remains, to this day, unscathed. But 3 weeks ago, when all nursing home residents were tested for #COVID, his PCR swab was positive.

When his PCR returned positive, his doctor also started him on ivermectin. Now 3 weeks later, his PCR is negative. Due to his age and many co-morbidities, my Dad is high risk to have done quite poorly from #COVID, yet he sailed through it without a scratch.

People ask, “Hey Steve, why are you pro #HCQ?” I’m not pro HCQ, I’m pro truth. I think HCQ is an imperfect treatment, & doesn’t work well as single agent when used late into #COVID. But I also think that when it’s used early & optimally, with safety monitoring, it can have value.

And I think that ivermectin may work, or it may not, I’m not sure. The data isn’t high quality at this point, but there is some. The very good news is that it’s been historically an extremely safe drug.

So that’s what our family has endured. Apathy on the part of the nursing home & decisive action on the part of our doctor.

Like all tweets, this doesn’t contain medical advice. Just sharing a human experience, & what’s medical science for, if not to enhance our human experience?

And personal experiences are important.  So thankful Dr. Phillips’ dad is well and that proactive treatment helped him.  Phillips brings up many important points: nursing homes need to wake up as this is the most affected population for COVID-19. HCQ is not a perfect treatment but when used early enough can save lives. The addition of zinc and azithromycin have merit. Jury’s out on Ivermectin.
