Earlier I said the Peter McCullough’s interview was powerful, but upon reexamination I think it lacks credibility. He starts off reasonably about early treatment and escalates into ever more bold claims about vaccination, climaxing with the mark of the beast: “This is what globalists have been waiting for, they’ve been waiting for a way of marking people, that you get in a vaccine, you’re marked in a database and this can be used for trade, for commerce, for behavior modification, all different purposes.” That’s not what caused Covid-19, and Big Tech and IC already have us fully marked.
Criticism of McCullough
Also, I admired Steve Kirsch for his struggle to promote early treatment. However, his interview with Bret Weinstein and his rolling op-ed at trialsitenews were bullying and exaggerated, in contrast to his rational and reasonable tone last year. Here is some pushback from Yuri Deigin, one of the two main figures in DRASTIC (lab leak a live possibility).
Ovaries data exaggerated.
Vaccination more net benefit than IVM prophylaxis
I wouldn’t want to live in a society of gullible citizens: Trust the authorities! In my long life in our open, democratic society, I’ve been subjected to, and sometimes fallen for, gross corruption and fraud by the authorities. The Vietnam War was extended for years after national security analysts had concluded it was unwinnable. Fat is bad for you, eat carbs. Weapons of mass destruction. Russia, Russia, Russia. With work, we could list 100 items. The always available hive of conformist dupes unwittingly bolster the frauds. Conformist dupes should be denounced as much as fringe theorists, maybe more.
The Fauci-Farrar-Daszak suppression of the lab-leak hypothesis; the suppression of early treatment options by application of higher standards of evidence for repurposed drugs and lower standards for social interventions, vaccines, and new drugs; was maddening. Those conspicuous manipulations lowered the credibility of public health authorities and raised the level of suspicion among attentive audiences (and raised the suspicions of the already suspicious even more). You could measure this, for example, by analyzing the tone and content of Kirsch’s writings over a 16-month period. Now he is maddened with rage about preventable deaths and automatically assumes the worst about health authorities (in contrast, Kory remains cautious, and charitable to those whose positions he challenges). I recognize Kirsch’s malady because decades ago when I struggled at a petty level with corrupt and gaslighting federal authorities I ended up temporarily with the same barking-dog persona.
It’s true that after a mass vaccination many will die, because they would have died anyway in the absence of the vaccine. But at this point I have no good reason to trust any claim made by the Pharma-Fauci-Farrar-Tedros axis. I will keep an open mind about the hazards. Maybe an experimental vaccine is not advisable in lower-risk youth, for example.
Good news, looks like Novavax vaccine is on its way to approval.
