A study published Friday in the Lancet.





LHC

This is a study for treatment of Covid-19 not prevention!

So there is no confusion here, let me emphasize, I expected efficacy for prevention of Covid-19 based upon the mechanism of action for HCQ as published in the Lancet article I referenced. This was confirmed by the ICMR clinical study.

At no time have I advocated HCQ for treatment of Covid-19! Quite the contrary. HCQ is not effective and produces serious adverse events, especially in elderly patients (usually with co-morbidities) when used for treatment!

I am working on a combination therapy that includes Remdesivir plus a drug that I developed to target the cytokine storm that is induced in Covid-19 patients.

FWIW, 45 was using HCQ for prevention of disease.

Knowing how vulnerable it is, it would be a shame if someone broke into some Congress Critter's 'Zoom'© teleconference discussing proxy voting plans in the House and that came up on the wall monitor instead. Just a hypothetical...

Aunt Mazie's Cow was a lot less horrific and was still in good enough shape to give milk.

I don't know which would be worse, the discussion or the pic?

But either way it sure would be Finest Kind entertainment.

Oh if I only had that skill set!

A PDF of power point slides which presents the COVID-19 data which can be found at the CDC website. References are included on the last slide. I originally but the CDC data together to provide my son (15 yrs old) information. What has puzzled me the most is a change in the response paradigm given the data. Initial the plan was to minimize infection so as not to overwhelm the medical infrastructure. However, it appears now the plan is to prevent infection.

[Box]

Much bullshit exists in those slides if left out of context. They show a 6% mortality and then show a slide with additional data that shows "COVID ONLY" but fail to explain what that actually means....

"He fell off a bridge after being infected with COVID-19" equals a 6% mortality rate.
Why in the fuck would a sane person even build that into their statistics?

It also neglects to report the now VERY well known fact that countless people have been infected, symptomatic, ill, recovered, and back to normal without ever reporting themselves to a statistic tracking medical facility...
-which lowers the mortality more
It also neglects to report that there are countless people that have contracted the virus and remained asymptomatic throughout the course...
-which again, lowers the mortality rate even more.

Then it uses what is probably the most ridiculous move in the history of medical statistics and reports on that popular age group known as the "18-64" year old demographic.
18-64 is the highest percentage of those infected - well - FUCK.ME
What fucking demographic have you EVER seen ANYWHERE in the history of numbers that uses 18-64 as a single demographic? (unless of course you are trying to manipulate your own statistics to help prove some bizarre predetermined outcome)
...again, statistics done by folks that surely earned D's and C's in their college statistics courses - a bunch of mutts manipulating statistics to swell their budget and justify their existence. .

Here's a statistic:
- the largest demographic of licensed drivers in the USA is the 18-80 age group - over 98% of fatal car accidents by licensed drivers are from that one single demographic.

The stated reason for all of this bullshit was to flatten the curve to prevent overwhelming a health care system that was never actually overwhelmed.
until that narrative no longer fit
then it was to slow the spread
until that narrative no longer worked
then it was to prevent infection
until that narrative stopped working
now we are being told it is to hold off the inevitable until there is a vaccine
now that same asshole who said a second wave was inevitable has been forced to change the narrative once again...
...maybe a second wave ISNT inevitable

Millions of dollars spent setting up doomsday COVID hospitals that were torn down with little to no active COVID patients treated in those facilities.

"Shifting paradigm" is by far the most polite way I can imagine to say the health experts are all full of shit and resorted to talking out of their ass....
...unless I have been watching a different scenario unfold over the last few months

Fuck these people.
Fuck them right in their stupid asses.

Thank you, Box! Finest Kind

Here endeth the lesson.

As mentioned before (n=1) my local health department was instructed by the state to change a case fatality statistic to conform with their method. The motive, based on rhetoric from the Gov and his acolytes has become clear, because it is at the state level that wailing tears & flailing of arms is engaged to gather $$$ from The State. Can't be healthy & expect to get the bak-sheesh Sahib to take care of lost revenue because no university football and dorm revenue.*

Plus, as indicated by Box, they are either felony-stupid, felony-complicit, or both in terms of their use of "mortality rate."

* As many students are tumbling to (based on Numbah One 4.0 grand-daughter debrief), after being told to "go home & educate yourself but you're not getting a refund", the entire idea of the hucksters in the Ivory Towers is going to be relooked by many next semester, given some of the quality online options available for students that have some self-motivation.

Exactly.......They are the "Frankenstein's" of the "so-called" health experts....My God, they have gone mad......

[1stindoor]

I have two favorite sayings about statistics:
1. "63% of all statistics are made up on the spot." (Statistics professor in my college about 30+ years ago). He would change the number occasionally to see if we were paying attention.
2. "Half the doctors practicing medicine graduated in the lower 50% of their class in med school."

Lies, Dammed Lies, and STATISTICS... You were spot-on Mark.... Sports commentators use "stats" to excuse their lack of knowledge of the event they are broadcasting to fill-in on-air time....
