I don't claim to know much about how COVID treatments work, but I find this article pretty persuasive.

I have a non practicing MD friend who is married to a practicing MD and they are coming around to the same conclusion due to all of the evidence being presented.
The virus is so politicized it is hard to even talk to anyone about it- many are absolutely convinced it is the Black Plague and half the population is going to die from it if we don't all lock ourselves in a box. With a homemade mask.
The madness of crowds in technicolor. Reminds me of the Daycare satanist freakout.
"Washington Post media critic Margaret Sullivan"...what is the likelihood that a 'media critic' would have any understanding about how to evaluate statistical information, let alone that she would know anything about virology and immunology?
The general innumeracy and lack of scientific/technical knowledge on the part of media is appalling, and this includes the business media. For example, very few writers on Energy seem to grasp that a Kilowatt and a Kilowatt-Hour are not the same thing, and the difference matters a lot when discussing energy storage. Stating the storage capacity of a battery in Kilowatts is like stating the capacity of your car's gas tank in Horsepower.
I've never quite recovered from the shock of the ignorance of physics displayed in the coverage of the Fukushima nuclear power plant breakdown. Journalists commit howlers every day, some ignorant, some careless, and some in service of their overriding political agenda. Their TDS makes a complete hash of their coverage of COVID treatment alternatives.

Thomas Edison famously used very sleazy fear-based tactics in his efforts to defend his DC distribution system against the AC-based system promoted by Westinghouse and Tesla...for example, dubbing AC the 'killed current' and promoting the electric chair (running on AC) as the preferred method of execution.
In today's social & political environment, he probably would have gotten away with it.
MomRed took a college class this summer over "Epidemics and American History." One of the points that came up was that this is the first truly politicized epidemic. Others might have had some effects on local politics (elect the guy who promised to clean up the water supply and get rid of miasmas), but even the 1918 Influenza and 1970s Swine Flu were not subject to this kind of national political frenzy.
I'm thinking of really politicized epidemics like blaming the Black Death on Jews who poisoned wells. This one isn't quite that bad, at least, though not for want of trying.
*wags hand* That's an interesting one, because the Holy Roman Emperors did their best to stop that. Any pogroms against Jews in what's now Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, and parts of Poland were local spasms. Official policy was against abusing Jews.
On the gripping hand, since everything was blamed on the Jews, I'd call it less of political act than "the usual default setting." But my ancestors fled to the US to avoid things like pogroms, so my take comes from a different angle.
It was generally cyclical. Nobles would invite in jews to get loans to fund claim wars. Once the money is spent, then they consider expelling jews to avoid debt repayment.
There was a study showing a good correlation between the areas in Germany where pogroms occurred and....hundreds of years later...the areas when support for the Nazis was strong.

Demoncrats were literally ordered to kill people to boost the Cabal's "pandemic" which was planned.

They need these casualty numbers to be high and they were quite surprised and stressed that it was so low. So they helped it along.
This is beyond your "normal human corruptions". This is called evil.
