“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
I just wanted to document two things for the record, while I had the evidence in hand, before the “usual suspects” (Twitter, Google, etc.) cover it all up.
First – the “scientific misconduct” attack.
Second – the “big tech malign error” attack.
Assault With a Bik’s Pen
This is an interesting story about my encounter with some kind of “Act Blue” but “Fake Red” pharma-defending propagandist who alerted me to something I had not been aware of – that the scientific establishment has tried to attack HCQ researcher Didier Raoult by abusing a kind of scientific fraud-hunter named Elisabeth Bik.
Follow this conversation and you will learn the details.
It started with somebody publishing details about the attack on a dissident “Ivermectin doc” who I follow on Twitter.
Dr. Bowden is a Board Certified Stanford educated doctor from Houston, TX who’s treated & saved more than 5,500 patient lives, including my mom when she had Covid.
This tweet cites a study by the University of Kansas Medical Center, claiming that ivermectin has no effect. THAT is a whole ‘nuther topic, which is very interesting, and which implicated KUMC (not to be confused with UMKC) as engaging in woke politicized science, but set that aside for now.
Here was one nice response to the attack.
oh wow, it's almost as if they did everything wrong in this study. what are the odds?
"symptoms of acute infection for 7 days or less"
fucking lol. honestly, this study says more about you, than ivermectin.
There ARE indeed some big criticisms of that study – I believe that Pierre Kory had some of them – but set that issue aside. Watch a PHARMA RAT rush in, as soon as I say something which besmirches their money-maker remdesivir.
My comment:
What really shocks me is how bent out of shape the "mass formation med echoes" get over a drug with almost no side effects and admittedly limited antiviral activity (ivermectin), while utterly silent about remdesivir, proven to cause organ failure, too toxic for Ebola use. WTH
I mean, what the hell! The problems of remdesivir are very well documented, and I read about the organ failure MYSELF – not only the original failures in the Ebola trials, but massive kidney failure problems during COVID treatment. I read the (per Fauci) key paper myself, including the data section, and was shocked at how blithely Fauci had written off multiple kidney failures in the TREATED group, well above any occurring in the placebo group. NASTY!!!
This PhillyPharmaBoy either doesn’t know what he’s talking about, or he’s lying. But I remained nice.
Here was my response.
I will definitely agree about ineffectiveness (see pix). However, IIRC, the original remdesivir study that Fauci cited with Trump as "gold standard" showed much worse results than Raoult showed in his full HCQ/AZM study, & the kidney failure rate under remdesivir was shocking. pic.twitter.com/22PZyI5ScN
I am missing something. Are you comparing Ebola to COVID? That comparison cannot be made. Oh, and Raoult is under criminal investigation for massive long-term fraud, including his hydroxychloroquine studies.
What the FUCK! “That comparison cannot be made”? A drug with a kidney failure problem in one disease can’t be compared to the same drug having a kidney failure problem with a similar disease of the same basic type? LOL!
But WHAT THE HELL!
“Oh, and Raoult is under criminal investigation for massive long-term fraud, including his hydroxychloroquine studies.”
That was the first I had heard about any “investigation” of Raoult.
My “foxhole buddy” on Twitter responded immediately.
I then did some quick research, and realized that these science progs were pulling a “Peekaboo James” attack investigation on Raoult! NASTY!!! Communist, fascist, progressive SWINE!
Exactly. Looks like woke-sci girl Bik (who does have a record of *selectively* pursuing science fraud) went after Raoult as a Covidian virtue signal, and he fought back. Good. I've read several of Raoult's papers, and he's a good researcher, IMO.https://t.co/nufjg7Ay2T
My buddy of the moment called her a straight-up fraud, but IMO this Bik lady is a victim, too – basically an autistic, woke “error-hunter”, much like the “plagiarism-hunters” who look for places where people have gotten lazy on citations, and are vulnerable like ALL academics are, with enough spotlight and draconian-enough standards.
Bik was used to go after Raoult, and she will pay the price of the Trump Curse.
From what little I have read now, she's good at casing shade and doubt, but may have gotten too far out over her skis in going after Raoult. An innocent man who knows it, is a very bad person for a serial accuser, trained on only guilty parties, to tangle with. Unforced error.
all these 'debunkers' eventually reveal themselves. Susan Oliver, the ultimate grifting 'debunker' jumped the shark when she claimed mRNA in mother's milk wasn't a big deal. a few of her more recent 'productions' have been pretty colourful to say the least…
I checked this out. It was a horrible pile-on of woke bullshitters, exactly like what all those lying NAT-SEC fascists did to Trump, for which 50-60 LIARS need to not only lose their security clearances, but in my opinion, go to prison as well, for abusing their credentials.
I do hope that also happens to these attackers of Raoult, with their precious “Expressions of Concern”!
Expressions of concern! Sacré bleu!
Another sad expression of the new Lysenkoism, IMO.
That was it. PhillyPharmaBoy was done with us. NO SALE.
SO – this was where I first learned about the “Bik” attack on Raoult.
My question now – what is the status of the situation?
I can find NOTHING in the English-speaking world about this. No further information, other than moans of sympathy for Bik, that mean old Raoult SUED her for attacking him.
It LOOKS like there is no news that serves the narrative, so nobody is talking about the confrontation. It LOOKS like Didier Raoult must be winning.
I needed to get into the French side of the web, if I was going to find anything.
And THAT is when I went looking for any word on the situation in Raoult’s Twitter account.
The guy writes almost entirely in French, and nobody comments on his timeline in anything but French, but we have Google Translate – R-I-I-I-I-I-G-H-T???
Google Mistranslate
This was cute, and is very typical of the kinds of “knives in the back” which can be done with “bad I.T.” while being passed off as an error, accident, or other plausibly deniable non-human problem. And, of course, if A.I. is responsible for this lie, then the situation is even worse, but I’m not ready to help them pass the blame to Rogue Woke A.I.
In looking for any – ANY – news about Didier Raoult’s lawsuit against Elisabeth Bik, I went to Raoult’s Twitter account, and began scanning down below his top, pinned Tweet, which was a kind homage to the director of his institute, who appears to be resigning. Hopefully she is not being forced into resignation, but who knows – things are bad right now, in Globonazi France, and I can imagine that there is yet another attempt to “take care of” Raoult before the next phony pandemic can take place.
Take out a friendly or honest director, and put an opponent or rat fink in place. Oldest trick in the book.
Anyway, I noticed this tweet:
Notre étude sur la baisse de la charge virale par le traitement par hydroxychloroquine dans le covid est en ligne et confirme notre première étude.Nous avons fait valider les données de la première par huissier montrant que l'émission''Complément d' enquête'' utilisait des faux.

There is no chance that this perfectly reversing bad translation is an accident. This is deliberate sabotage under the color of a program error.
The mistranslation is easily removed/prevented by adding the missing space in “étude.Nous”, which results in (using Google Translate):

It’s also worth looking at the other tweets in the thread, and their translations.
The second tweet simply says “Reference” and provides a link to this article.
The role of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in lowering the viral load of patients with COVID-19 is controversial. In our Institute, we treated more than 30,000 people with COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021, using the same diagnostic tools and the same treatment dosages. In this retrospective comparative study of data collected over this period, we aimed to compare the viral clearance in the nasopharynx as determined by qPCR in patients who were treated with HCQ and those who were not. As a new feature, we adjusted the data according to the most significant confounding factors (age, initial viral load, and timescale between the onset of symptoms and treatment). Of the 1 276 patients selected from our database, 776 were treated with HCQ and 500 were not. Viral clearance in the treatment group was reached significantly earlier than in the non-treatment group, at days 5, 10 and 30. These differences remain significant after adjustments for confounding factors. In conclusion, although age, initial viral load, and time to treatment do influence the viral load in patients with COVID-19, hydroxychloroquine associated with azithromycin still independently significantly lowered viral load more rapidly than other treatments, including azithromycin alone.

SO – the bottom line is simple.
The other side is NOT giving up.
They lie, they cheat, and they attack good men by scurrilous means.
They sacrifice their own in the process.
The Trump Curse is real, and the WOKE are BROKEN when they attack the good and the true.
And when we stand up for what is right, we WIN in the end.
You’ve probably heard OF the Bill Gates “and if we do a REALLY great job on new vaccines“ quote, which many consider to be an admission of population control through vaccines. What is the real story here?
Strap in.
This is a complex question, beneath all the lies, counter-lies, half-truths, and diabolical chaos left in the wake of the elite and their evil plans.
We’re gonna look at the question, and we’re gonna have FUN doing it, too.
Mood Music
Today I feel like an ANNOYING PUNK OF SCIENCE, pointing out the fecklessness of the lying elite and their captive lab coats of FAKE SCIENCE, with their ridiculous population control shot and their wicked lies to try to make us take it (yeah, FJB!), so I’m choosing the sneering, annoying, Billy Idol to be today’s musical mascot.
We continue this THIRD installment in our series on The Population Control Shot with a discussion of the notorious Bill Gates quote which incongruously juxtaposes vaccines with reduction of either population or population increase, take your pick.
This is it.
So what’s the real story here? Did he really say this? And what did he mean?
In my opinion, this episode turns out to be one of the most remarkably complex LIES + COVER in history. It is every bit as brilliant as Lancetgate and the HCQ / ivermectin hit job studies.
Get your SNEER on.
Even when the numbers are wrong, the science can be right. Always keep focused on the big picture. “THEY” will try to throw you off on details.
First – Did Gates Really Say That?
Looking only at the quote itself, there is audio of him saying it, that’s very fast and easy to verify that – YES – he said it. Pay careful attention to the exact wording.
As you can see, it’s very easy for “telephone” effects to creep in on this quote, with “great” turning into “good“, and “on” turning into “with“, not to mention “new” (as in “new vaccines”) disappearing. There’s not a LOT of difference in meanings, but there is some.
At the very least, it’s sloppy, and easy to get derailed into trivia about inaccuracy. Fact checkers love such diversions.
Now, the next question is context. Is that quote missing some necessary context when it’s standing alone?
In my opinion, the context is enlightening about Bill Gates’ thinking, but it turns out not to make much difference in the quote. He’s basically making a projection about population, as something that impacts climate change, and then talks about the fact that certain simple changes in how we’re doing things, would only reduce that projected population increase by 10-15%.
Gates is saying, basically, that ALL THIS STUFF HE MENTIONS, even his favorite thing, vaccines, can only lower the projected increase in population by a fraction of that increase.
You can either READ or LISTEN TO the full context of the TED speech at the following link. I’ve also embedded the video below.
The above article about the video is interesting for several reasons.
it triumphantly chides the fact checkers on “Gates really said this”, but pointedly fails to bring up or counter any of THEIR arguments
it notes that the YouTube video has disappeared
it provides an embedding of the TED video
it allows creation of a timeline
Gates speech was in 2010
author’s first article was in 2020
this article was from 2021
it does NOT address the question of what Bill Gates MEANT by saying that vaccines would help to reduce population increase
That’s actually a good question.
What in the heck do vaccines have to do with REDUCING population?
As a side note, it’s somewhat MISLEADING that this article lets the reader ASSUME that Gates meant something nefarious here. However, it’s even MORE misleading to go to the fact-checkers, who will conversely tell you SOME MORE TRUTH, and thus misleadingly imply that the story ends THERE.
Indeed, this point is where things get complicated – probably by DESIGN.
If you don’t get past the truth of the article, and THEN the truth of the fact-checkers, you will remain trapped in a kind of diversion, in which Gates wins. It’s actually a very smart defense.
You have to get past this “immunizing fake scandal” to figure out what’s really going on.
You will see later that Gates very likely SAID THIS ON PURPOSE, so that people would “discover” what the fact checkers tell you, and settle on it.
Because “what’s next” amounts to Gates’ ultimate defense.
Ask what they were REALLY getting these medals for.
Gates: The Innocent Do-Gooder
Let’s start off with Bill Gates stating WHY he’s interested in vaccines.
I’m pretty sure that’s the establishment shill Scott Pelley “interviewing” Melinda Gates.
Pelley was the presstitute who tried to “take down” Mike Cernovich for Hillary Clinton on the whole #HillaryHealth issue during the 2016 election – with a rather amazing backfire.
We can TRUST that this 2018 Melinda Gates interview is a softball set-up for the Gates Foundation.
The establishment WANTS people to suck this up – whether it’s true or false.
What is being alleged here is a paradoxical effect…..
…..that by people “living better” they have healthier kids…..
…..that better lives and healthier kids leads to fewer kids…..
…..that by having fewer kids, the population decreases…..
…..and could in principle even stabilize or decline.
If this is correct, and I believe that it IS correct – more or less – then helping people live better, so that they have fewer but healthier kids, can basically “defuse” the so-called population bomb.
I personally believe that the achievement of zero population growth (ZPG) by Japan was a perfect demonstration that this principle CAN work.
It may not work for every society, and it may not be compatible with all the freedoms we desire (gotta stay skeptical), but we know that it’s not a complete loser.
But before we go on, let’s ask a pesky question or two.
WHY would the IMF then try to subvert Japan’s population “success” by trying to force them to take in Muslim immigrants, which would be very likely to cause social problems, including new population problems?
For that matter, why does the UN actually CAUSE migration problems, and then “solve” them in nonsensical ways that make things worse? When we KNOW that migration problems lead directly to new population problems?
Somebody’s not really serious about things – and in my opinion, it’s because “population” is NOT the goal of the people at the top – sometimes referred to as “Mr. Global”. CONTROL is far more likely to be their goal.
In my opinion, the “population crisis” is only a motivator for lower-level DUPES. But we’ll get to that in a moment.
Let’s get back to Gates. It seems like he’s telling the truth! Vaccines (and I’m talking vaccines that are TRULY safe and effective) WILL (or at least could) actually help reduce the rate of population increase, or even help to stop the increase, or help reverse it.
OMG! Is Bill Gates INNOCENT???!!!
AND Logic To The Rescue
Remember what I love to say about Hitler and “2+2=4” – the idea that the truth of that statement does not depend on who is saying it.
Even bigger, this.
Hitler stating publicly, for the world, that “2+2=4”, would not preclude Hitler’s own Nazi camp guards literally grinding Jews under rifle butts until they said “2+2=5”. Nor would it preclude Hitler from secretly believing “2+2=5” in some mystical occult fashion.
The truth of 2+2=4 is independent of who states it, or why.
BUT – remember as well, something I ALSO like to say.
There is no cover like the truth.
Thus, we are led to the truth that Gates may speak openly about a very publicly palatable route to population control, but that fact does NOT preclude him from ALSO secretly pursuing a more aggressive route to the same goal.
To assume it’s one or the other is an ERROR that you are encouraged to make by “exclusive OR thinking”. The kind of thinking which explains why “they want you divided”.
AND – there are certain advantages to DOING BOTH.
“bad vaccines” depopulate much faster, while “good depopulation” through “good vaccines” helps to manage public expectations, and can even “succeed more than we thought”
a “good cause” always provides the cover of innocence to a “bad cause” (see Aubergine’s razor)
“good vaccines” are so adjacent to “bad vaccines”, that only LIES are needed to complete the deception, that ONE is not in fact THE OTHER.
And if you don’t like calling them “bad vaccines”, perhaps we can cynically call them “socially more efficacious” vaccines. Indeed, think about that. “Socially”, they’re not just more effective – the killer vaccines are “safer”! Maybe even “socially more just”! I’m sure Obama would like that.
So what does Wolf think?
“You can’t catch me!” said The Spiky Shot Man
I think that Bill Gates NEVER changed his spots or his stripes.
The same guy who used every underhanded trick imaginable, to sabotage Linux in favor of Windows, while evading all blame in the mainstream press, did NOT go into “curing malaria in our lifetime” because he suddenly found his sweet soul.
Let’s look at this guy’s prior history, between LINUXGATE and DEPOPGATE, just in terms of attacking COVID treatments. What follows here are 7 earlier posts about Gates and/or Lancetgate and/or related conspiracies against treatments other than the Population Control Shot.
I think it is now quite clear that Bill and Melinda Gates need to get the hell out of science and medicine for the good of humanity. I am going to show you why. I am not saying that Bill Gates is doing anything new. I am saying that he moved his disastrous “Windows Effect” …

SO – it’s not like I’m just pulling my suspicion of Gates out of the clear blue sky.
I believe all of the following.
Gates helped sabotage every exit from the population control shots that he could, including HCQ and ivermectin
the Gates divorce is a money and power protection device, invoked because there was too much failure on the COVID scam, and the Gates world is protecting its assets
Gates eased into vaccines via malaria, knowing that going directly to vaccines might raise suspicions
Gates “owns” CEPI and GAVI so that, combined with the Gates Foundation, he effectively has two votes on all things vaccine-related
Gates is by nature “covertly direct”, ruthless, secretive, and aggressive – so he CANNOT not pursue direct depopulation – it’s IN HIS NATURE
Gates always takes dangerous fast shortcuts that cause problems (see WINDOWS), so there is no way he would bypass direct depopulation methods in favor of slower methods
Gates has tried to keep his fingerprints off the depopulation shots, but was largely undone by the spike protein’s striking success as an abortifacient
Gates is very likely behind Surgisphere and LancetGate, but I don’t know if anybody will ever be able to prove it, because these “titans” like Gates, Zuckerberg and Brin can just cover for each other in ways that defy detection. If you can’t follow the money, you can’t find the proof. But Surgisphere just smells like Gates. I’m sure he’s behind it.
Gates prepared for his task by developing MSN and MSNBC media ventures. He knows how to manipulate the press.
Gates’ statement in the TED talk was a VERY intentional drop, to “fluff the paradox” and center people’s attention on either a disprovable attack, or a glowing defense – leaving nobody to ask the “AND logic” question, which solves everything neatly.
Gresham’s law applies to depopulation methods. In other words, bad vaccines drive out good ones. And in secret depopulation conspiracy world, they almost certainly do. People who are “performing” for “them” need stronger actions for bigger “gimmes”.
(insert pictures of “nursing home governors” Cuomo, Wolf, Whitmer, Murphy, and Newsom)
Oh, what. the heck – here’s the picture
Let’s cut to the chase. Gates is STILL A MONSTER.
The Getaway
So what is my final prediction?
Gates is slick. Gates seems to get away every time.
Why, he’s probably laughing right now!
I think he’s going to get away this time, too.
But I think we may be able to put the heat on these bastards – enough to make them stop killing us for a while, as they crawl back into their evil villain caves, to plot their next insidious attack.
Evil ain’t going away any time soon. But we can make its life pretty rough in the meanwhile.
How Two Fallen Theories of Medicine May Herald the Fate of Global Warming / Climate Change
Bad science does not stand forever, but it may stand long enough for people to make a lot of money on it. THAT will be the THEME of the three huge science scandals I’m going to discuss.
In case you’re short on time, the TLDR…..
TL;DR – Two fresh scandals showing how industry money and scientific misconduct kept bad theories “alive” for decades, may explain why the bad science behind politically useful climate alarmism persists.
I. Serotonin Uber Alles
The “serotonin scandal” is very diffuse, which is why it’s in many ways analogous to “climate change”. The bottom line is that what the pharmaceutical industry tells patients about antidepressants, and what scientists know about antidepressants, are not the same thing.
It’s best to start off with the following Tucker Carlson video.
An extremely important selling point of antidepressants, used by both doctors and the pharmaceutical industry, is the idea that people who are depressed, and therefore “need” to take them, actually have some kind of chemical imbalance in their brain that needs to be fixed. More often than any other chemical alleged to be “imbalanced” is serotonin – and hence the emergence of SSRIs, meaning serotonin-selective reuptake inhibitors.
Carlson’s centerpiece is a recent metaanalysis of antidepressant research which showed there is little or no evidence for this “chemical imbalance” assertion.
Antidepressants may work in some people, and thank God they do, but IF they do, and WHEN they do, the simple “chemical imbalance theory” is probably not the reason why.
There is a very good explanation of the study HERE:
No evidence that depression is caused by low serotonin levels, finds comprehensive review
After decades of study, there remains no clear evidence that serotonin levels or serotonin activity are responsible for depression, according to a major review of prior research led by UCL scientists.
The new umbrella review – an overview of existing meta-analyses and systematic reviews – published in Molecular Psychiatry, suggests that depression is not likely caused by a chemical imbalance,and calls into question what antidepressants do. Most antidepressants are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which were originally said to work by correcting abnormally low serotonin levels. There is no other accepted pharmacological mechanism by which antidepressants affect the symptoms of depression.
Lead author Professor Joanna Moncrieff, a Professor of Psychiatry at UCL and a consultant psychiatrist at North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT), said: “It is always difficult to prove a negative, but I think we can safely say that after a vast amount of research conducted over several decades, there is no convincing evidence that depression is caused by serotonin abnormalities, particularly by lower levels or reduced activity of serotonin.
“The popularity of the ‘chemical imbalance’ theory of depression has coincided with a huge increase in the use of antidepressants. Prescriptions for antidepressants have risen dramatically since the 1990s, with one in six adults in England and 2% of teenagers now being prescribed an antidepressant in a given year.
“Many people take antidepressants because they have been led to believe their depression has a biochemical cause, but this new research suggests this belief is not grounded in evidence.”
Just for the record, I am personally NOT a fan of these sorts of “metaanalysis” papers. In my opinion they tend to be QUASI-OPINIONS with a veneer of science. However, in my own opinion, metaanalyses can be useful when highly conclusive or by reinterpreting data – but should be trusted even less than normal observational science.
Now – it is important to point out that this metaanalysis is not actually telling us anything NEW. Most scientists in the field ALREADY KNEW from all the various studies that were looked at by the metaanalysis, that the simple “chemical imbalance” idea was a load of crap. They’ve known this for YEARS.
REALLY? Yes. Really.
A good description of the state of things is here:
A Popular Theory About Depression Wasn’t “Debunked” by a New Review
The title is a bit deceptive – at least more so than the link which adds “it got debunked years ago”. Ah, the techniques of clickbait!
Anyway, the title could rightfully say:
A Still-Popular But Unproven Old Theory About Depression Wasn’t “Debunked” By A New Review – It Was Simply Confirmed To STILL Be Unsupported By The Data, Despite Being Pushed For Decades By Doctors And Big Pharma Who KNEW It Wasn’t True
Please click the link if you want all the details, but my proposed title says it all. People kept using the theory as a sales and prescription gimmick. Big Pharma “suggested” the theory to doctors, and doctors “suggested” the theory to patients, to get them to take a kind of drug that patients are sometimes very resistant to taking.
Remember – antidepressants do, in fact, work for many patients – particularly for very serious cases of depression. Many people who in the past had to be hospitalized, can now live happy, functional lives in society because of these drugs.
It’s understandable that doctors try to convince patients to take the drugs they think will work to treat their problems.
But should your kids be getting antidepressants because of “school trouble”?
A whole ‘nuther question.
Because THAT is the end result of the little white lie that “people can have an imbalance that needs these drugs.”
We NORMALIZED antidepressents by NORMALIZING an ABNORMALITY that didn’t even exist.
ANYWAY – if the very fact that a WRONG THEORY has been KNOWINGLY spoon-fed to you by “the experts” for DECADES, is not giving you ideas about “climate change” – particularly in the post-COVID world…..
BUT WAIT.
Not quite yet. We have ANOTHER scandal to look at, first.
II. It’s Bush’s Beta Amyloid’s Fault!
This scandal is at the opposite end of the spectrum, from the above one, in which an entire industry and all of medicine KNOWINGLY told a little white lie to the public.
In this case, ONE SCIENTIST tipped the scales inappropriately, sending the entire world, including the rest of science, on a wild goose chase.
The LIE was only caught after years, and almost accidentally.
This is a rather long and interesting story, and I’m not going to recount it all here. But I will give you links and extensive quotes. It’s FASCINATING.
One of the best quick summaries is in, of all places, The Daily Kos.
Last month, drug company Genentech reported on the first clinical trials of the drug crenezumab, a drug targeting amyloid proteins that form sticky plaques in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients. The drug had been particularly effective in animal models, and the trial results were eagerly awaited as one of the most promising treatments in years. It did not work. “Crenezumab did not slow or prevent cognitive decline” in people with a predisposition toward Alzheimer’s.
Last year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) narrowly approved the use of Aduhelm, a new drug from Biogen that the company has priced so highly that it’s expected to drive up the price of Medicare for everyone in America, even those who never need this drug. Aduhelm was the first drug to be approved that fights the accumulation of those “amyloid plaques” in the brain. What makes the approval of the $56,000-a-dose drug so controversial is that while it does decrease plaques, it doesn’t actually slow Alzheimer’s. In fact, clinical trials were suspended in 2019 after the treatment showed “no clinical benefits.” (Which did not keep Biogen from seeking the drug’s approval or pricing it astronomically.)
Over the last two decades, Alzheimer’s drugs have been notable mostly for having a 99% failure rate in human trials. It’s not unusual for drugs that are effective in vitro and in animal models to turn out to be less than successful when used in humans, but Alzheimer’s has a record that makes the batting average in other areas look like Hall of Fame material.
And now we have a good idea of why. Because it looks like the original paper that established the amyloid plaque model as the foundation of Alzheimer’s research over the last 16 years might not just be wrong, but a deliberate fraud.
This story is fantastic, and so I recommend starting with the above Daily Kos article.
Before going into more detail, let me begin to give you my perspective on Alzheimer’s drugs.
I’ve watched a lot of drug classes accumulate new and improved drugs over nearly half a century of interest in the topic, but the TWO categories that have stood out to ME as the WORST in terms of success have been antivirals and Alzheimer’s drugs.
Antivirals first.
As you have seen over the last two and a half years, antivirals are not impossible to find, and while they don’t work 100% of the time, they’re still sometimes VERY helpful.
What has been more shocking to me is that it’s clear that the pharmaceutical industry frequently and reliably OPPOSES successful antivirals, when they can’t make money off them. The industry wants NEW antivirals they can patent, and they are willing to DEFAME and DENY old antivirals, even SUPERIOR and SAFER antivirals, just to create a market for new ones.
New antivirals that may be CRAP, and dangerous as hell. And they will even LIE to the Commander In Chief about them.
But set the antivirals aside for now, knowing that the situation is corrupt.
Anti-Alzheimer’s drugs are even worse, because THEY JUST DON’T WORK. They’re notorious for not actually working. They’ve never worked. In desperation, the FDA occasionally approves these worthless drugs, if only for investigation, but they are “mercy punts”. The drugs get approved, as long as they don’t show too many side effects, because they are “better than nothing”. But that’s it.
The drugs out there for dementia, senility and Alzheimer’s are WORTHLESS.
A LOT of people thought this was suspicious. I was one of them. Every once in a while, when researchers would reveal just how BAD the next drug actually was – how terrible and limited the results were – I would “go back to my mental drawing board” and ask the question:
“Why don’t these drugs work? Maybe the theory behind them is wrong. What could the truth possibly be?”
HA! I had no idea! No clue!
NOBODY – and I mean nobody – suspected that it was because of FRAUD.
At least, not until recently.
So let’s move on to the fraud in more detail. SCIENCE MAGAZINE.
I am including a long segment which is just the beginning of the article. Please note an important point – the investigator was actually looking at a DIFFERENT fraud in the same field of Alzheimer’s research, when he found this one.
BLOTS ON A FIELD?
A neuroscience image sleuth finds signs of fabrication in scores of Alzheimer’s articles, threatening a reigning theory of the disease
In August 2021, Matthew Schrag, a neuroscientist and physician at Vanderbilt University, got a call that would plunge him into a maelstrom of possible scientific misconduct. A colleague wanted to connect him with an attorney investigating an experimental drug for Alzheimer’s disease called Simufilam. The drug’s developer, Cassava Sciences, claimed it improved cognition, partly by repairing a protein that can block sticky brain deposits of the protein amyloid beta (Aβ), a hallmark of Alzheimer’s. The attorney’s clients—two prominent neuroscientists who are also short sellers who profit if the company’s stock falls—believed some research related to Simufilam may have been “fraudulent,” according to a petition later filed on their behalf with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Schrag, 37, a softspoken, nonchalantly rumpled junior professor, had already gained some notoriety by publicly criticizing the controversial FDA approval of the anti-Aβ drug Aduhelm. His own research also contradicted some of Cassava’s claims. He feared volunteers in ongoing Simufilam trials faced risks of side effects with no chance of benefit.
So he applied his technical and medical knowledge to interrogate published images about the drug and its underlying science—for which the attorney paid him $18,000. He identified apparently altered or duplicated images in dozens of journal articles. The attorney reported many of the discoveries in the FDA petition, and Schrag sent all of them to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which had invested tens of millions of dollars in the work. (Cassava denies any misconduct [see sidebar, below].)
But Schrag’s sleuthing drew him into a different episode of possible misconduct, leading to findings that threaten one of the most cited Alzheimer’s studies of this century and numerous related experiments.
The first author of that influential study, published in Nature in 2006, was an ascending neuroscientist: Sylvain Lesné of the University of Minnesota (UMN), Twin Cities. His work underpins a key element of the dominant yet controversial amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimer’s, which holds that Aβ clumps, known as plaques, in brain tissue are a primary cause of the devastating illness, which afflicts tens of millions globally. In what looked like a smoking gun for the theory and a lead to possible therapies, Lesné and his colleagues discovered an Aβ subtype and seemed to prove it caused dementia in rats. If Schrag’s doubts are correct, Lesné’s findings were an elaborate mirage.
Schrag, who had not publicly revealed his role as a whistleblower until this article, avoids the word “fraud” in his critiques of Lesné’s work and the Cassava-related studies and does not claim to have proved misconduct. That would require access to original, complete, unpublished images and in some cases raw numerical data. “I focus on what we can see in the published images, and describe them as red flags, not final conclusions,” he says. “The data should speak for itself.”
A 6-month investigation by Science provided strong support for Schrag’s suspicions and raised questions about Lesné’s research. A leading independent image analyst and several top Alzheimer’s researchers—including George Perry of the University of Texas, San Antonio, and John Forsayeth of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)—reviewed most of Schrag’s findings at Science’s request. They concurred with his overall conclusions, which cast doubt on hundreds of images, including more than 70 in Lesné’s papers. Some look like “shockingly blatant” examples of image tampering, says Donna Wilcock, an Alzheimer’s expert at the University of Kentucky.
The authors “appeared to have composed figures by piecing together parts of photos from different experiments,” says Elisabeth Bik, a molecular biologist and well-known forensic image consultant. “The obtained experimental results might not have been the desired results, and that data might have been changed to … better fit a hypothesis.”
Early this year, Schrag raised his doubts with NIH and journals including Nature; two, including Nature last week, have published expressions of concern about papers by Lesné. Schrag’s work, done independently of Vanderbilt and its medical center, implies millions of federal dollars may have been misspent on the research—and much more on related efforts. Some Alzheimer’s experts now suspect Lesné’s studies have misdirected Alzheimer’s research for 16 years.
“The immediate, obvious damage is wasted NIH funding and wasted thinking in the field because people are using these results as a starting point for their own experiments,” says Stanford University neuroscientist Thomas Südhof, a Nobel laureate and expert on Alzheimer’s and related conditions.
Lesné did not respond to requests for comment. A UMN spokesperson says the university is reviewing complaints about his work.
To Schrag, the two disputed threads of Aβ research raise far-reaching questions about scientific integrity in the struggle to understand and cure Alzheimer’s. Some adherents of the amyloid hypothesis are too uncritical of work that seems to support it, he says. “Even if misconduct is rare, false ideas inserted into key nodes in our body of scientific knowledge can warp our understanding.”
This article goes deeply into the fraud. It’s a great detective story. It raises a whole bunch of tangential issues.
For starters, the fact that you are even hearing about this is because the investigator (Matthew Schrag) didn’t wait for NIH to do anything – particularly after it AWARDED MORE MONEY TO THE FRAUDSTER.
Yes – you got that right.
He [Lesné] became a leader of UMN’s neuroscience graduate program in 2020, and in May 2022, 4 months after Schrag delivered his concerns to NIH, Lesné received a coveted R01 grant from the agency, with up to 5 years of support. The NIH program officer for the grant, Austin Yang—a co-author on the 2006 Nature paper—declined to comment.
Notice how the “revolving door” nature of the science is on display. “Insiders” who are buddies with and coworkers of “outsiders”, give those outsiders the precious grants.
However, Schrag was not caught with his pants down by NIH “Comeyism” (failure to discipline friends). Schrag had also taken his evidence to Science magazine. SMART MOVE. But then, it appears that Schrag was raised by Mennonites, home-schooled, and in the military. Interesting.
More from the Science article:
IN HIS WHISTLEBLOWER REPORT to NIH about Lesné’s research, Schrag made its scope and stakes clear: “[This] dossier is a fraction of the anomalies easily visible on review of the publicly accessible data,” he wrote. The suspect work “not only represents a substantial investment in [NIH] research support, but has been cited … thousands of times and thus has the potential to mislead an entire field of research.”
The agency’s reply, which Schrag shared with Science, noted that complaints deemed credible will go to the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Research Integrity (ORI) for review. That agency could then instruct grantee universities to investigate prior to a final ORI review, a process that can take years and remains confidential absent an official misconduct finding. To Science, NIH said it takes research misconduct seriously, but otherwise declined to comment.
See how that works? Seriously – you CANNOT trust NIH, any more than you can trust Anthony Fauci.
NOW – things are starting to get interesting as all this news is hitting the mainstream media.
Gil00 brought me a link, in which the most famous coworker of the fraudster, Karen Ashe, finally responded to inquiries. Meanwhile, the fraudster has remained silent publicly. NOTE that in Schrag’s investigation (see below), Ashe was found innocent. ONLY in papers working with Lesné, were any of Ashe’s papers ever found to contain fraudulent images. Ditto for other authors. Lesné was the nexus of the fraud.
BUT the problem WAS spotted long ago, and yet this knowledge never bubbled up to a level of effectiveness in mainstream science. An early French coworker of Lesné found his images suspect, and refused to work with him after that.
From the Science article:
Questions about Lesné’s work are not new. Cell biologist Denis Vivien, a senior scientist at Caen, co-authored five Lesné papers flagged by Schrag or Bik. Vivien defends the validity of those articles, but says he had reason to be wary of Lesné.
Toward the end of Lesné’s time in France, Vivien says they worked together on a paper for Nature Neuroscience involving Aβ. During final revisions, he saw immunostaining images—in which antibodies detect proteins in tissue samples—that Lesné had provided. They looked dubious to Vivien, and he asked other students to replicate the findings. Their efforts failed. Vivien says he confronted Lesné, who denied wrongdoing. Although Vivien lacked “irrefutable proof” of misconduct, he withdrew the paper before publication “to preserve my scientific integrity,” and broke off all contact with Lesné, he says. “We are never safe from a student who would like to deceive us and we must remain vigilant.”
Schrag spot checked papers by Vivien or Ashe without Lesné. He found no anomalies—suggesting Vivien and Ashe were innocent of misconduct.
SO – what does Karen Ashe have to say?
University of Minnesota scientist responds to fraud allegations in Alzheimer’s research
While defending results, U researcher said it is “devastating” that a colleague might have doctored images.
A senior University of Minnesota scientist said it is “devastating” that a colleague might have doctored images to prop up research, but she defended the authenticity of her groundbreaking work on the origins of Alzheimer’s disease.
Dr. Karen Ashe declined to comment about a U investigation into the veracity of studies led by Sylvain Lesné, a neuroscientist she hired and a rising star in the field of Alzheimer’s research. However, she criticized an article in Science magazine that raised concerns this week about Lesné, because she said it confused and exaggerated the effect the U’s work had on downstream drug development to treat Alzheimer’s-related dementia.
“Having worked for decades to understand the cause of Alzheimer disease, so that better treatments can be found for patients, it is devastating to discover that a co-worker may have misled me and the scientific community through the doctoring of images,” Ashe said in an e-mail Friday morning. “It is, however, additionally distressing to find that a major scientific journal has flagrantly misrepresented the implications of my work.”
I’m undecided about this lady. This is a bit of a tangent, but it may be significant.
I trust her to some extent, based on the fact that Schrag found Ashe’s work CLEAN when it was NOT associated with Lesné. In my opinion she’s innocent.
AND YET, Ashe’s background is PERFECT for a two-stepper ChiCom, potentially brought to America as the child of secret socialist sleepers. [NOTE: “Two-steppers” are basically bi-generational spy families, with extreme cover used on the parents to throw off suspicions on the second generation as plants.] Ashe’s background – similar to that of the notorious Vindman twins, is also almost identical to several classic Chinese two-steppers in American media and politics, including relentless Trump character assassin, Weijia Jiang.
Video: Disenguous, pathetic stuff from @CBSNews's @Weijia Jiang, questioning the President's testing motives as suppressing them so as to tamp down case numbers and death tolls and then suggest he's playing politics with reopening state economies while Democratic governors aren't pic.twitter.com/acjiINrXxX
Video: @CBSNews's @Weijia Jiang came back for round two, bashing Trump for talking about testing like it's a "global competition" when so many are dying. Trump replies that she should ask China that question. So the media want Trump to ramp up testing, then hit him when he does?! pic.twitter.com/YYF13b3JrS
And don’t think this is just aimed at Karen Ashe – that I’m just blaming the innocent victim, which she may very well be. Let’s look at Sylvain Lesné. Let’s do a deep dive on the possibility that he was intentionally sabotaging science for more than just personal advancement.
This is just a theory to add to the pile of theories. But it’s a very intriguing theory, with enormous consequences, like – oh, say – “climate change”.
French communists, both agrarian and urban, are THICK in Normandy – where Sylvain Lesné grew up and went to university. The urban centers of Caen, Le Havre, and Rouen are communist strongholds.
You can see that Caen leans even further to the left than “worker’s paradise” Le Havre, where bleak Stalinist architecture rules. The vote against Le Pen was strong in Le Havre, but even stronger in Caen.
There is a reason why communism is persistent in Normandy. Not only is there a regional historical tradition of Jacobin thought – there was aggressive spread of Soviet-style communism to the area by Stalin, both before World War II and afterwards, in the devastation of the Allied liberation.
This was a significant part of the motivation for the Marshall plan – to not let the war feed Stalin’s slow but relentless ambitions, already at work in post-war France.
We already know that French “above-ground” communist Agnès Buzyn, who is weirdly allied with “conservative” Emmanuel Macron, was indicted for a plethora of COVID-19 “mistakes”, in which she seemed to aggressively “do the wrong thing” as COVID-19 began spreading into France.
We here in America are more familiar with one of these aggressive scientific mistakes – the “hiding” of hydroxychloroquine from the public by changing it from OTC to prescription only. (Please note that this “error” was at the bottom of the list, and is not even mentioned around the time of the indictment, which focused more on Buzyn’s downplaying of COVID dangers.)
Now – it’s very instructive to see how the French media (particularly the left-media, but all of it, really) has aggressively covered up for Buzyn on this point, with “fact-checking” in the Snopes style, where there are both clickbait strawmen and evasion on technicalities.
While the FORMAL reclassification of the drug HCQ from OTC to prescription occurred in January of 2020, which would make it seem more vindictive against Didier Raoult, and reactive against the treatment of the disease, that was merely the date of the effective reclassification.
The connection to Didier Raoult is a bit of a red herring, provided largely by his fan base. That is a typical irony useful to disinformation.
It turns out that the reclassification action itself took place in November of 2019. This point is then alleged by the fact-checkers to prove Buzyn’s “innocence”. As we now know, the deepest players in the COVID scam KNOWINGLY took many actions in September, October, and November of 2019.
Thus, in my opinion, these “fact checks” attempting to exonerate Buzyn’s scientific misconduct are in fact even more indicting, and indicative of her premeditated criminality.
Thus, if an analogous theory is correct, that Sylvain Lesné was intending to prop up bad science for more than just his own advancement, then there must be some VALUE in doing so.
Gil00 provided a possible answer to this – in thinking that perhaps there was an immunological connection to the scandal. THAT jumped out at me like a red flag. An immunity connection in Alzheimer’s is not only a known competitor of the beta amyloid theory – it fits in with my recent belief that the entire depopulation plot is connected to and being implemented through a very intentional and surreptitious set of actions leading to a decrease of individual human immunity, to make us EACH more vulnerable.
Thus, Lesné’s actions, which sent the majority of Alzheimer’s research down a primrose path to nowhere, may have been a DIVERSION away from the immunological origins of Alzheimer’s disease.
You know – an origin such as VACCINES.
Yes. Timing is everything.
NOW – even if Ashe and Lesné are completely innocent (and that would include brainwashing by communists), I think this is an EXCELLENT time to look at Alzheimer’s AGAIN, as a potential product of things like viruses and vaccines, which we KNOW can have neurological effects.
Yes. Vaccines which “go wrong” can affect the BRAIN through autoimmune actions.
Just sayin’.
III. Could Global Warming Concern in the Face of an Imminent Mini-Ice Age and an Incipient Full Ice Age Actually be Some Kind of Really Bad Science?
It should now be totally apparent that BAD SCIENCE on a global scale is not just possible – it’s EASY. This is without even bringing in the COVID debacle.
PLANET VULCAN, ANYONE?
You’ve seen it here in part I. BILLIONS of dollars have kept LIES alive and well in pharmaceutical science.
If it pays everybody to tell people there is a chemical imbalance that means they need a drug, it will be done, to sell the drug, or to tell the patient that there is hope. The bad information will be forwarded to doctors, and then to patients, to make those patients feel OK taking the drug. Eventually, it just becomes part of Fake Normal.
Consider (part II) that even a single author on a single scientific paper, followed by a few more images from that author on maybe a few dozen more papers, carrying subtle but convincing false evidence, can send BILLIONS of dollars, maybe tens or hundreds of billions of dollars, down a blind alley.
Not only that – the system will try to keep that money flowing in the same way, even when it is KNOWN by government bureaucrats to be based on faulty data.
Is it impossible that this kind of ERROR could extend to TRILLIONS of dollars?
I mean, who would actually WANT trillions of dollars?
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) were joined by Democratic lawmakers from both the House and Senate on February 7, 2019, to introduce Green New Deal legislation.
There is NOTHING in “anthropogenic global warming” or “climate change”, explained by the current theories, that cannot be explained equally well by the idea that a carbon dioxide prediction boondoggle (remember COVID models?) has occurred, as the result of BAD SCIENCE.
Indeed, the multiple and long-running FAILURES of the climate field would seem to this “poor” scientist to be rather similar to the FAILURES in anti-Alzheimer’s drugs. This kind of failure SHOULD point to severe theoretical problems in any NORMAL science situation, once freed from TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS of bad economic bets by politicians and financiers.
I remember – PERSONALLY – when we scientists were told by the leadership of the American Chemical Society that “anthropogenic global warming” was “settled science”. I knew MANY scientists in all branches of science – who were all SCIENTIFICALLY AFFECTED by this idea – who were still very actively debating the topic – and who like me were not convinced of AGW being real, true, or important, even if it did exist. The entire enterprise seemed HASTY and WRONG.
It seemed TOP-DOWN. It seemed IMPOSED. It seemed to contradict everything we knew about how science was supposed to operate – with major ideas normally taking YEARS if not DECADES of FIGHTING INSIDE SCIENCE to become crystal clear.
And OH YES – we had TIME.
SO – after reading about these two incidents of WRONG science being perpetuated by industry or academia, both knowingly and unknowingly, I do NOT think that “climate change” should be granted a pass.
I think the whole question of climate needs to “go back to the people”. That includes both SCIENTISTS who tell us WHAT IS FOUND, and THE PEOPLE who tell us WHAT MATTERS, once we find the truth.
Everybody else – the money, the media, the “leaders”, the shills, and the malevolent liars – need to get out of the way.
In particular, the MEDIA that pushes scientists’ opinions around with their “fake normal” and “fake science news” needs to STFU.
Don’t “trust the science”.
LET SCIENCE DISTRUST ITSELF.
And maybe, in fact definitely, YOU THE PEOPLE can help US, THE SCIENTISTS to DISTRUST SCIENCE……
Kristina Lawson, President of the California Medical Board, can’t answer simple questions from a physician about her offices attack on hydroxychloroquine or threatening to revoke MD’s licenses for prescribing it.
I almost can’t believe that AFLDS.org produced this thing. Some of it is just CRINGEVILLE. BUT – I have to admit – it’s persuasive as all get-out. For normies, it’s a nice compilation of the problems with the vaccines INJECTIONS.
However, the over-done production, the cliche jokes, and the corny bad writing just make this every bit as fun as Robot Monster and Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Where it’s good, it’s good, but where it’s bad, it’s hilariously bad.
Please forward to future former friends, if you dare.
I think some guy named Alinsky said something about ridicule, or maybe it was about people not being able to walk the streets, or something like that. Are we there yet?
Hopefully, this great couple is getting some REST, because they may NEED IT.
I am telling y’all – the Trumps may very well be on their way back to the White House in 1-3 years.
In fact, the way Obammunism has been “performing” – stumbling in disarray behind the HUMAN SHIELD Joe Biden, it looks like even the core plotters are having regrets and doubts now.
Mark “Drop Box Treason” Zuckerberg isn’t buying up land for his giant hideaway in Hawaii – only a SUBMARINE RIDE AWAY FROM CHINA – for no reason. He knows that there is a limited future for this insane, incompetent, incorrigible, and unelected OBOLA-BIDUNG regime, that he helped force upon ALL OF US.
SPIT!!!
The Business At Hand
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
And indeed, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL get through it, TOGETHER.
The Rules
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
FOR EXAMPLE:
WE, the LINTARDS, the FLYNNTARDS, and the WeAin’tNeverGonnaWinTards are all welcome here, as long as we’re NICE ABOUT IT. The mutually odious viewpoints of disagreeing patriots are ALL welcome – those views just have to be expressed nicely, without accusing each other of being this, that, or the other.
Disagree with the material, not the character of the presenter.
Remember – Everybody is somebody else’s Ace Ventura.
As an alternative to character assassination, allow THE HOUSE to suggest better and more compelling material than the other person.
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
You may also pray for our enemies, the Crazy Mask-Wearing Democrats. Note that Benadryl and some of the other antihistamines that can save their lives from COVID cooties, also act as antipsychotics.
We’ll get to more about THAT in a moment.

This one is a bit too “heavy metal” for many of us, but it brings to my mind some of the questions of TRANSHUMANISM.
Food for thought.
OK – maybe we should balance that out with a little country, like last week? Maybe a bit “old pop country” – whatever! Enjoy this flash-in-the-pan country duo act, who look far too much like something from the Monica Lewinsky era.
Well, we can’t have Country without “Western”!
So how about something very familiar, but maybe you never really thought about how WEIRD it is that it actually IS familiar………?
OK – this is really straying pretty far afield from WHEATIE MUSIC.
So how about a little more of THAT? In fact, how about 90 minutes of it?
Alright! THAT was sufficient preparation for MORE WEIRDNESS.
I used to love this song. Kinda glad the styles changed since then, however.
So how about some Vitamin B – as in BOLLYWOOD?
This stuff is surprisingly listenable.

Featured Story – Benadryl Could Have Saved Grandma / The Gatesification of Science
The Pub is OPEN again! With a blend of humor and seriousness, like any good bar, we celebrate this grand re-opening of WOLF’S PUB on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2021, by actually opening near closing time on Christmas Eve Eve, but what the heck.

We will keep working on it until you do.
Today’s message is how BENADRYL provides ONE MORE EXAMPLE of a drug that showed a strong signal of benefit AND acceptable safety AND – shockingly – was very likely in the medicine cabinets of hundreds of thousands of people who died of COVID-19 NEEDLESSLY – simply because American medicine has been taken over at the top by the pharmaceutical industry and their financial backers.

Everybody underestimates Spain. The last letter in “PIGS” is far less of an insult than an error. Years ago, when I was at a conference, and Japanese industrial spies were getting me drunk (it was a great red wine), I decided that I had to give them SOMETHING for their time and effort, if only …

If you follow through these SIX posts, you will see the progression of my thinking.
recognition of cheap, common antihistamine therapy as lifesaving at nearly 100% levels
dawning of realization that NIH, CDC, and big pharma were not truly looking out for patients
realization that individuals needed to be ready to save themselves and their friends, family, neighbors and loved ones with various therapeutics
what I learned by treating my own confirmed case of delta with selected therapeutics
confirmation of the generality and stage 2 mechanism of H1 antihistamine therapy
how antihistamine therapy was hidden by the media as compared to HCQ and ivermectin, on behalf of the larger plot to control humanity
Indeed, I now see the suppression of knowledge of the most readily available, inexpensive, extremely safe COVID therapeutics, as one of the greatest, saddest, and most horrifying instances of GASLIGHTING in history – not merely the history of science.
Humans on this planet were HYPNOTIZED into NOT USING the two most obvious drugs in their medicine cabinets – aspirin and antihistamines – which could have saved them from a new and sometimes deadly “cold”.
Ironic, isn’t it? The media tried to talk us us out of aspirin just before it would have saved millions of people from both the “clot disease” and even the “clot shot”.
Funny, that. But it gets worse.
My doctors and their nurses distinctly and repeatedly tried to steer me to acetaminophen (Tylenol) for COVID, despite the fact that there was, at that time, ESTABLISHED, PUBLISHED, SOLID, PEER-REVIEWED LITERATURE showing that low-dose aspirin reduces hospitalization and death from COVID-19 by around half. And the reason is obvious to anybody with a wisp of scientific understanding – even at high-school levels. Aspirin is a blood thinner and anticoagulant, and the bad effects of the disease (and the shots) are thrombotic. Simple.
If there was ever a time to take aspirin, it was for COVID. The suppressed FLCCC.net treatment recommends it. Why not the AMA?
Can’t they read the damn signal?
Can’t they understand relative risk and benefit?
Like I said, VACCINE HYPNOSIS.
Peter McCullough talks about this phenomenon of vaccine hypnosis in the scientific and medical communities, in his great interview with Joe Rogan, above. I think he uses a different term for it, but we’re talking about the same thing.
The hypnotic blindness toward active use of therapeutics was bad for HCQ and ivermectin, but it was even worse for antihistamines, because the deception got past even the most active members of the “therapeutic” community – MYSELF INCLUDED.
I was a HUGE backer of [HCQ + disease-conferred immunity] as the best therapeutic path forward, from the very beginning. I later began appreciating ivermectin, too, as the data rolled in.
Enjoy one of my memes inspired by Cari Kelemen on Twitter, with her great quote at the bottom.
The problem is, at the deepest part of the conspiracy, we were GASLIT into focusing on chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, and not gaining social momentum toward more readily available drugs (aspirin and common antihistamines) that could have REALLY changed the game – but which would have VERY RAPIDLY moved the global outcome away from the pointless, problematic, Gates-controlled vaccines.
Once you understand that we were CHUMPS who were CONNED away from antihistamines, you understand how smart these people REALLY are.
They’re tricky – SO tricky.
Hydroxychloroquine, and then ivermectin, WERE part of the gaslighting. We loved them, and still do, but don’t kid yourself. They are GOOD, SAFE, EFFECTIVE drugs. But BOTH are prescription drugs. They require doctors, and this brilliant chess move distracted the few honest doctors, looking for therapeutics, by a hidden, unconscious, alignment with “what they could do to help”.
THE PERFECT BAIT – for the “please help” scam.
It’s like putting a firehose in front of a fireman when there is a fire, and seconds to stop it. The fireman may not know that down under all that burning wood is a fire that would go out faster and better with something other than water, but they do the right thing, and go for the first and most obvious solution that appears, consistent with their own abilities.
We don’t like to think that we were suckered by a SECOND LAYER OF THE SCAM, but we were.
I was actually suckered by such a scam, years ago, in assisting the deceitful implementation of the current highly broken version of affirmative action in universities. It’s an interesting story, but I’ll save it for another time.
The point is, the best way to CON people is to GET THEM TO BUY IN ENTHUSIASTICALLY.
People usually don’t catch these masterful crimes until the crooks are long gone and got what they wanted. It’s infuriating, but the multi-layer “please help” scam is effective as – well – HELL.
Hollywood, of course, is quite familiar with such “plots”.
BUT ANYWAY…..
Let’s get down to business.
Up until now, the two, large-scale, clinically proven sets of antihistamines for COVID-19 have been the newest (cetirizine, loratadine, and fexofenadine) and one of the oldest (promethazine), but not one of the most obvious possibilities – diphenhydramine, otherwise known as Benadryl.
Well, it turns out that Benadryl has been showing ENORMOUS promise in the laboratory.
Now this particular researcher has been looking at a synergistic combination of diphenhydramine (Benadryl) with human lactoferrin, which achieves STUNNING results, in terms of ANTIVIRAL activity, albeit in vitro.
To quote the article:
The scientist who combined two widely available over-the-counter compounds that inhibited the novel coronavirus by 99% in early tests told WND he’s hopeful his treatment will be available “within months.”
“An FDA-approved treatment could be in sight within months if pharmaceutical companies utilize existing clinical trial resources,” said Dr. David Ostrov in an email interview with WND.
Let’s just quote that again for effect:
“An FDA-approved treatment could be in sight within months if pharmaceutical companies utilize existing clinical trial resources,” said Dr. David Ostrov in an email interview with WND.
To which the only proper response is…..
But wait – there’s moar!
Sadly, I’m sorry, but anybody who is still embedded in Fake Science and Fake Medicine needs to understand what I figured out while I was in the belly of the beast.
The people at the top, in Washington, DC, are no longer there to help the people.
They are there to help themselves.
Solutions are controlled by RETURN ON INVESTMENT – not by saved lives – THAT is secondary.
Which is too bad, because antihistamines are a solid cure against DEATH, per the Spanish study, and have a robust mechanism in both Stage 1 AND Stage 2 of COVID, with Ostrov’s work proving actual Stage 1 antiviral activity.
Please read the following comments by the scientist, Dr. David Ostrov, behind the study.
The story started before SARS, when my lab was studying drugs that bind ACE2, the molecule that turned out to be the receptor for SARS and SARS-CoV-2.
We previously found that an antihistamine (hydroxyzine) bound ACE2, and in 2020 were able to test the ability of this drug to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 in the lab. It was an “aha” moment when the data clearly showed that a common antihistamine inhibited the virus that causes COVID. Different scientists at the University of Florida College of Medicine used different isolates of SARS-CoV-2, and the results agreed with each other. An antihistamine can inhibit the virus!
We then realized that there may be similar drugs that could inhibit the virus, perhaps even over-the-counter drugs. But which drugs?
We collaborated with investigators and UCSF where they examined the medical records for more than 219,000 people tested for SARS-CoV-2. They found that usage of diphenhydramine was associated with a lower incidence of SARS-CoV-2. In other words, in this population, people were less likely to be infected with COVID if they used diphenhydramine.
Why would taking an allergy pill lead to lower risk of COVID? There could be many reasons, but is it possible that a simple allergy pill can directly inhibit the virus that causes COVID?
We did the experiments at the University of Florida College of Medicine, and the data was published in a peer reviewed journal. Diphenhydramine exhibits direct antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. Diphenhydramine inhibits virus replication, inhibits virus shedding and inhibits host cell killing.
This is all wonderful news, but it NEVER penetrated the “vaccine hypnosis”, and here is why. Again, a quote from the investigator, Dr. Ostrov.
My prediction is that antiviral drug combinations, such as diphenhydramine and lactoferrin, will provide a similar level of benefit as Regeneron monoclonal antibodies, Pfizer and Merck antivirals, at less than 1/100 the cost of those therapies.
There you go. Right there. “Less than one one-hundredth the cost” is NOT what these companies, bureaucrats, and politicians want to hear. They may nod and say “wonderful”, but if it does not cause as much “other people’s money” to move as the vaccines, then nobody will champion it.
However, that does NOT mean that WE THE LAB RATS can’t use the knowledge to save ourselves.
Ostrov is not stupid, and he gives up some crucial data while preserving his scientific credibility.
AND I QUOTE:
Ostrov told WND he’s been in communication with people who wonder if their use of the compounds has helped prevent them from getting COVID-19.
He noted that “anecdotal stories are certainly not proof of efficacy,” but many people have contacted him about diphenhydramine and lactoferrin, and their results “are difficult to ignore.”
“For many people, they say everyone around them got COVID, but not them,” Ostrov said.
And they ask the professor if diphenhydramine and/or lactoferrin.
“Without placebo controlled clinical trials, we will not have a definitive answer,” he said. “The answer for now, though, is maybe.”
Ostrov mentioned a contact who takes a daily dose of Benadryl and regularly drinks milk. She said she had been in close contact for hours with someone who was hospitalized the next day for COVID-19. But after waiting five days from the time of exposure, she tested negative for COVID.
He cautioned that people “considering their own concoction should understand that our experiments were carried out with human lactoferrin, not cow.” And the lactoferrin he used was purified in a special way to enhance its antiviral properties and is not likely to be found on the shelf.
People should consult with their physician, Ostrov said, before taking any drug for a use other than its intended use.
“Even though historically there are relatively few adverse events reported for diphenhydramine and lactoferrin, it should be noted that long term use of any medication, or combination of medications, could have unexpected consequences,” he said.
Ostrov said he hopes that once FDA-approved, “people may benefit from this antiviral drug combination for two-to-three month intervals during each wave of COVID infections.”
Notice that while Ostrov VERY HELPFULLY admits there is some real life usage of the drugs going on, and some success, he also downplays the admission to a politically correct level, using excuses that are completely mitigating against accusations of “recommendation”. The man is not stupid. He’s getting the word out, while staying in the lanes that Fake Science demands he stay in.
BUT – and this should be very clear – it’s obvious that people CAN and WILL make use of this cure – particularly the Benadryl. Thus, Ostrov makes a nicely balanced warning about long-term use of Benadryl, which is known to be potentially problematic, but also probably not an issue for most people who are treating or occasionally/periodically preventing COVID-19.
And, of course, there are many other antihistamines which are KNOWN TO BE SAFE for long-term usage, which are (IMO, based on the Spanish work) acceptable substitutes for Benadryl.
Let me add some other links on Benadryl that people may find useful.
One of the things to notice here is that this article was published over a year ago (December 2020), describing work that occurred over years before that, but that then ramped up under COVID during 2020.
In that ENTIRE TIME, at the same time Ostrov was doing foundational research, the clinical efficacy of THREE antihistamines was discovered, tested, demonstrated in a group of people, and published (March to September 2020) by the nursing home doctors in Spain. AND, during that time Dr. Chetty in South Africa demonstrated the clinical utility of promethazine in thousands of patients.
In a sane world, as soon as the Spanish results were RECEIVED for publication (September 2020), there should have been immediate emergency pre-publication for the benefit of clinicians. Instead, the paper was basically held until January 2021, when the vaccines were safely in production.
The SYSTEM is not designed to save lives in anything near an optimal fashion. It is designed to make money as a primary motivation, and – perhaps – THE primary motivation.
So why has Ostrov’s work apparently advanced no further toward treating people IN PRACTICE?
Because NOBODY in government or industry wants it. And they have OUR MONEY invested elsewhere.
Of course, that doesn’t mean there isn’t GREAT research going on. Just look at this confirmation of Dr. Chetty’s contention that antihistamines are useful in the treatment of “long COVID”.
“Well, I wouldn’t be so sure they do it alone, dude.”
Here is a guy – a recoveree – whose blood was found to be very lethal against SARS-CoV-2 – far more than most people’s blood.
Interestingly, the guy is something of a Benadryl addict due to allergies, and he took it during COVID.
Whether he took Benadryl prior to sample collection in July 2020 is unknown, but Benadryl is metabolized in the liver, otherwise by excretion to a lesser extent, so it’s possible that serum Benadryl could have enhanced the ability of any antibodies, by blocking ACE2 receptors while antibodies then bound to viral spike protein – a rather nifty tag-team effect.
You will see that this story is filled with coincidences – for example, the writer is the director of communications at the university that was running the study, and already knew the head of the study. He then volunteered to be tested, directly to that person, while doing a story.
And you know what I think of “their” journalists. LOW-GRADE SPIES AND PROVOCATEURS.
I don’t want to speak for Sadie, but if she throws a “Suspicious Cat at this story, I’m ready to throw FOUR of them.
AND I QUOTE:
I didn’t know it at the time, but my unlikely story had begun after becoming heavily congested to start the last week of March 2020. I had NO other symptoms whatsoever besides repeatedly having to blow my nose. Pollen was everywhere that time of year as per usual, so I just naturally attributed my sudden nasal issues to that. I loaded up on Benadryl and was feeling 100 percent again by week’s end four days later. There was never as much as a single thought that I had contracted COVID-19.
John Hollis
So the writer had COVID during the last week of March 2020, loaded up on Benadryl, finished out a very typical “good” case in 4 days, and very likely continued taking Benadryl, at least on occasion, for allergies.
AND I QUOTE AGAIN:
The George Mason antibody study, which began in April, was unique in that it was a saliva-based test rather a blood-based one and would eventually be used to screen students, faculty and staff. Mason was among the nation’s first universities to take this approach in the fight against the spread of the virus and maintains one of the only 13 National Institutes of Health-sponsored Biosafety Level 3 Biomedical Research Laboratories equipped to handle live COVID-19 samples from which Dr. Liotta and his team could quickly test.
Now jump to mid-July 2020.
As George Mason University’s Communications Manager, I had received word in mid-July that the scientists had come across some positive initial results.
I soon met with Dr. Liotta at his office on George Mason’s Science and Technology Campus in Manassas, Virginia to discuss their findings. I’ve known him for a few years now after having previously worked with him on other projects, so we’ve had a good relationship for a while. I was about to leave his office when I casually mentioned to Dr. Liotta that the guy I lived with had become terribly sick with the virus in early April. I had been so certain at that time that a similar fate or worse also awaited me that I even penned a letter to my teenage son just in case. I considered myself incredibly lucky to have gone unscathed.
This is when he volunteered for the test.
Or so I believed at the time.
So I figured there was no harm in asking if I could join the several hundred volunteers who had already participated in the study. Dr. Liotta agreed and I returned a few days later to give blood and saliva samples as a late addition to the research. The whole process took maybe 30 minutes.
This is how the story wraps up.
I was still of the belief that I had somehow dodged the bullet back in April and never even considered that I might have already contracted the virus, let alone that it may have been I who passed it on to my housemate. I had no reason to anticipate anything whatsoever coming of my lab results.
But after further careful analysis of my blood, Dr. Liotta and his team soon confirmed that I had contracted an American strain of the virus while also explaining to me exactly how and where the “super” antibodies had attacked and entirely eradicated the virus from my body. My blood has since proven equally as effective in killing every different strain of COVID-19, including the latest highly transmissible variants from both the U.K. and South Africa. I can’t even be a carrier for the virus.
I’ve been told this is somewhat akin to the medical equivalent of finding the Holy Grail.
I was one of eight people who participated in the study found to have “super” antibodies, with each person showing varying levels of natural protection from the virus. In addition to its ability to so effectively neutralize COVID-19, my blood is unique because the “super” antibodies in it have remained highly concentrated nearly a year after my infection. Most people’s antibodies typically wane significantly after 60 to 90 days.
How and why my body does this remains the million dollar question, but it means that I and others like me are best-suited to possibly help scientists mass reproduce antibodies like mine in the hopes of creating a treatment for COVID-19 and a lasting and far more effective vaccine.
It’s been sobering to think that my blood and that of others like me could potentially save thousands of lives or perhaps more.
So then imagine the irony of my having been randomly selected seven times for COVID testing between late September 2020 and March 2021. Each of the occasions—all with negative results—were part of George Mason University’s comprehensive Safe Return to Campus plan. It’s made for some good laughs and I’ve never once minded the very slight inconvenience. It’s like taking a test when you’ve been given all the answers in advance.
I’ve been very fortunate and feel blessed beyond measure.
Notice the TWOKICKERS which are to me indicative of a non-protein, small-molecule therapeutic in his plasma, with a longer half-life than more denaturable and strain-specific antibodies.
My blood has since proven equally as effective in killing every different strain of COVID-19, including the latest highly transmissible variants from both the U.K. and South Africa. I can’t even be a carrier for the virus.

Most people’s antibodies typically wane significantly after 60 to 90 days.
SO – honestly – I think it would be very interesting to discover exactly how much Benadryl was in his blood samples when he took tests, and which may still be in those samples.
Why, this story could get even more interesting.
Are they toying with us?
I don’t know. Toying is a way of testing, is it not?
I can certainly think of the propaganda value of converting the strength of the “enemy position” – the “evolutionary solution” (therapeutics like Benadryl) into a story about antibodies (the “revolutionary solution”) – which supports both new vaccines and new, expensive, antibody therapies.
(See my prior discussion of Faucism as modern Lysenkoism for that to make sense.)
Anybody seeing how that works? It’s very Marxist, actually.
Is there some Gramsci in Fauci? Maybe nearby? Interesting times.
BACK TO ETHICAL QUESTIONS
The ever-vulgar, ever-right Karl Denninger CLUED ME IN, by virtue of a rather ranty rant, to a post by one of the best voices in the world of SCIENCE and REASON – a guy named The Ethical Skeptic.
TES, as he is known, is framing the “go home and take Tylenol and die or don’t die from COVID” therapy that most of us got, as a kind of INVOLUNTARY CONTROL EXPERIMENT – including DENIAL OF TREATMENT – without our informed consent.
I think his approach is VERY powerful.
AND I QUOTE:
In other words, I was allowed to choose whether I would be a member of the ‘no treatment allowed’ control group or alternately one of the vaccine test groups; however, through denying me timely treatment, I was not offered the ethical choice of not participating in the experiment altogether.
Neither was I informed as to the nature of this experiment, nor was I made aware that other treatments or therapies were at my avail, should I decline participation. I was fraudulently coerced by a medical professional (and by advising health officials) into the belief that I had no choice, I had to participate. My life was endangered and I was exposed to unnecessary amounts of suffering and expense as a result of this coerced experiment. I was not offered the remedies or recourse to address the situation in the instance where the experiment failed (it did fail) or failed to ensure my safety, nor was I given the opportunity to bring the experiment to an end.
What this really shows us is how BADLY medicine has been overrun by both corporate and government interests, which are now allied against medical freedom, and even against truth itself in science and medicine.
Back to McCullough.
SIGNALS OF BENEFIT and ACCEPTABLE SAFETY.
Not what we’re seeing with the limited choices being offered by establishment medicine and government, and which are clearly being LIED about by the narrative enforcers of social media.
The fact that Anthony Fauci and Gilead Pharmaceuticals would promote a drug (remdesivir) that had – AT BEST – no better signals of benefit than hydroxychloroquine – BUT that had FAR WORSE SAFETY – and that also had – admittedly – a higher profit margin……
Well, that pretty much tells you all you need to know about “ethics” in “Deep Science”.
And remember – Anthony Fauci’s WIFE is some kind of “ethics czarina” at NIH. A VERY interesting family, including a daughter at Twitter.
I have been a poor and rotten servant of the Lord during my too long and too miserable life. I have made innocent women cry. I have led others astray. I have turned away from those in need in their time of need, and I have lied to myself and to God about why I …
There will be justice for Veronica Wolski, because we will DEMAND IT. And until there IS justice, we will drag the CRIMES of Anthony Fauci and Gilead “Pharmaceuticals” and their SLEAZY ASSOCIATES thorough the headlines, over and over, until people SPIT IN THEIR PATH as they walk down the streets. So where do we begin? …
Well, they can lock us out of The Q Tree, but they can’t stop the truth from getting out. Enjoy a post first over on The U Tree and now HERE. Here is a quickie in my WAR ON REMDESIVIR. Fellow Treeper barkerjim dropped an interesting document today, from back in July, which showed the …
My dear wife is the one who found this, so let me start off by thanking her. After working outside Tuesday night, I came in the front door, and my wife IMMEDIATELY told me to start watching what was on OAN. It was an anonymous Rumble video about ivermectin and remdesivir that OAN re-bannered and …
The point is simple.
Benadryl is EVEN SAFER than hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, by many standards, seeing that it is considered safe for OTC, and those other drugs are not.
Benadryl meets the McCullough Criteria – Signals of Benefit and Acceptable Safety.
And Benadryl is already out there – ready to help people get through COVID.
We also have other, more modern antihistamines – PROVEN to save lives from COVID-19, in the Spanish study.
In my opinion, antihistamine therapy is the baseline outpatient therapy that should have been mass-introduced globally, to practically eliminate death from COVID.
But DEEP SCIENCE had other ideas.
Just as I believe there was a conspiracy of interest against hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, I believe there was an even deeper conspiracy against the more readily available antihistamines.
And I believe that unless people answer for these crimes, there will be more like them in the future.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
eleutherophobia
noun
fear of freedom
From Ancient Greek ἐλευθερία (eleuthería, “freedom”) + -phobia.
el-ūth-er-o-fō′bi-a, el-ūth-er-o-mā′ni-a, etc.
Used in a sentence:
The eleutherophobia of many rank-and-file Democrats is a useful tool of the miseleutheric Democrat / Communist leadership. The eleutherophilia if not eleutheromania of the true patriot is rarely found among Democrats these days, thanks to socialist infiltration and control of the party.
Used in a video:
This guy is a bit of a trip – not exactly our style of patriot, but he belongs to an interesting bunch.
They could use a bit more Biblical wisdom, IMO, and perhaps a bit less “woo”, but at least they’re not eleutherophobes.
This is a great selfie video, done by a young lady with a glorious Southern accent, chronicling her week of COVID-19 and recovery, treated with ivermectin. It’s short – just under 7 minutes – but it captures a lot of information about symptoms and relief by the drug. I can’t embed the video here due …
I think it’s really helpful for people to see and hear the reality of an individual COVID case, to see what to expect. This kind of information can absolutely reduce unnecessary fears. It’s a real service, IMO.
Well, Omicron is here, and it got here VERY fast (more later). THANKFULLY, somebody who GOT IT took extremely good notes, and put them online.
Specifically, a medical doctor, Dr. Henry Smith, Jr., who has published on American Thinker, got the disease, treated it with hydroxychloroquine, and recovered VERY nicely.
His account of the disease is MUST READ material. It’s short – no excuses!
Plus, he’s a photographer, and has lots of nice pictures on his site.
No preview! Please visit his site. I left a comment there, letting him know about antihistamines, because this is something that can get past the “pharmacy gestapo” that Biden and CDC have created.
As Steve has noted here, the 2X dosage of modern, 2nd-gen antihistamines is quite safe, and his own doctor prescribed 4X dosages. This is completely analogous to doctor’s prescription of ibuprofen at 800 mg, which is 4X the OTC 1-pill dose.
I know that ivermectin is “all the rage”, but hydroxychloroquine is still an excellent drug to treat COVID, and I think it’s great to see it in use here. As I recently noted, I believe that none other than Bill Gates was behind the “take-down” of HCQ in the medical literature, via funding of studies designed to knee-cap it.
Dr. Smith comes to FIVE conclusions about Omicron, 3 being numbered, and 2 bonus thoughts after those, made post-illness, all of which I find excellent and agreeable. Please visit his post to see what they are.
OH – and his American Thinker article – a short but powerful post on the OBVIOUSNESS of the solution – natural immunity – entitled “Who Isn’t Getting Infected?”, is definitely worth reading as well.
What this graph shows, is NOT “itty bitty” Omicron (red) sneaking up on “big old” Delta (turquoise).
It shows – at the extreme right edge – Omicron SQUASHING the Delta empire like a BUG. At the very edge, Delta basically STOPS – as Omicron keeps moving to the right.
Let’s look at an earlier screen capture from NextStrain. This one is GLOBAL, on December 4.
Here, you see the same thing I described above, but you see it earlier, because it took a while for the variant to travel to America, where it would displace Delta. The GLOBAL data is already showing Delta getting walloped.
From this, you can tell that I just missed Omicron. I had Delta with Day 0 (first symptoms) on November 26, and was likely infected on November 22 (yeah, not a good day). Everything in America was still DELTA at that time.
This is more easily seen in another graph. Source HERE at CDC.
Sadly, the current graphics will not archive properly.
As you can see, on 11/27/2021 in the United States, it was ALL DELTA. On 12/4, It was still almost all Delta. By 12/11, the United States was at over 10% Omicron, But ONE WEEK later, on 12/18, the USA was at
70% Omicron.
This is just INSTANT-FREAKIN’-TANEOUS.
Will it hit 100% Omicron?
Does it HAVE TO hit 100% Omicron to wipe out the nastier Delta?
Stay tuned….. for the next item.
3 – The Decline and Fall of the Omicron Variant
Hat tip to RF121 for this video, in which a South African engineering geek and university researcher, Pieter Streicher, who tracks and predicts COVID numbers, tells us what is going to happen to the Omicron variant, and is ALREADY happening in one of the “origin towns” in South Africa, where it is PAST THE PEAK.
I really recommend listening to this, because I am just grabbing a few things that caught my fancy. There is much, much more.
Streicher predicts that Omicron will PEAK and then DECLINE, leaving ultimately around 20% infected and recovered, maybe 30% tops.
It will NOT be a majority of the population.
Here is how Streicher’s predictions have been working so far:
Now – why would I trust this guy – and NOT the Imperial College guy who Bill Gates promoted?
YOU KNOW…..
THIS GUY.
Yeah, the guy who ignored his own lockdowns from dodgy overblown models, so he could do the old pokerino with another “damn near model”, Little Mrs. Rubylips, his married British intelligence handler mistress.
Well, Neil Ferguson’s predictions turned out to be WILDLY overblown.
Streicher, on the other hand, whose predicted curves and actual numbers you can see above, is predicting – at the PEAKS….
25-fold LOWER deaths for Omicron relative to Delta, and…..
6-fold LOWER ventilated hospital beds for Omicron vs. Delta.
SO – Untreated Omicron is NOT exactly free of risk, and we still need hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin to treat it.
AND – failing availability of those things, we need antihistamines and azithromycin – the Spanish protocol – implement widely, as I discussed earlier…..
Everybody underestimates Spain. The last letter in “PIGS” is far less of an insult than an error. Years ago, when I was at a conference, and Japanese industrial spies were getting me drunk (it was a great red wine), I decided that I had to give them SOMETHING for their time and effort, if only …
And if you doubt the utility of antihistamines against ALL variants of SARS-CoV-2, then you need the NEXT item to convince you otherwise.
4 – An Independent Discovery and Validation of Antihistamine Therapy for COVID-19 *and* for Both Long COVID and Genetic Vaccine Major Adverse Effects
THIS is worth getting the word out to doctors quickly. Hat tip to Gail Combs for bringing this critical video to my attention.
The antihistamine therapy for COVID-19 was independently discovered by a South African doctor, Dr. Shankara Chetty. Even more importantly, the doctor discovered the reasoning behind the therapy, and its applicability to both “long COVID” and vaccine side effects as well.
His REASONING is extremely convincing, and well-explained in the video.
This is a brilliant universal theory of severe COVID, long COVID, and vaccine side effects, which meshes quite perfectly with almost everything we know about SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19.
Thus, we now have a universally available, over-the-counter treatment protocol for BOTH COVID and COVID vaccination side effects, the former of which was found to be 100% successful in TWO real-world studies, and which cannot be stopped by Fauci-controlled pharmacists or Gates-funded anti-studies.
This video is brilliant, because it really demonstrates how science is done, at the practicing level. A doctor and scientist, using observation and logic, figured out the antihistamine protocol BY REASONING FROM SYMPTOMS, rather than by observation of antihistamines as an accidentally useful therapy. Nevertheless, both independent discoveries confirm each other.
If, as it currently looks like from the South African experience, Omicron is less pathogenic, then this will help push Delta out, as it should decrease the likelihood that someone infected with Omicron will get re-infected with Delta.
Omicron has been shown to be highly transmissible and have extensive evasion of neutralizing antibody immunity elicited by vaccination and previous SARS-CoV-2 infection. Omicron infections are rapidly expanding worldwide often in the face of high levels of Delta infections. Here we characterized developing immunity to Omicron and investigated whether neutralizing immunity elicited by Omicron also enhances neutralizing immunity of the Delta variant. We enrolled both previously vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the Omicron infection wave in South Africa soon after symptom onset. We then measured their ability to neutralize both Omicron and Delta virus at enrollment versus a median of 14 days after enrollment. Neutralization of Omicron increased 14-fold over this time, showing a developing antibody response to the variant. Importantly, there was an enhancement of Delta virus neutralization, which increased 4.4-fold. The increase in Delta variant neutralization in individuals infected with Omicron may result in decreased ability of Delta to re-infect those individuals. Along with emerging data indicating that Omicron, at this time in the pandemic, is less pathogenic than Delta, such an outcome may have positive implications in terms of decreasing the Covid-19 burden of severe disease.
Here are the critical points:
Importantly, there was an enhancement of Delta virus neutralization, which increased 4.4-fold.
The increase in Delta variant neutralization in individuals infected with Omicron may result in decreased ability of Delta to re-infect those individuals.
IMO, this is good news for people who are infected by Omicron. It is very likely that Omicron offers some real protection against Delta.
The degree of protection against Delta is roughly a THIRD of the degree of protection against Omicron itself which is afforded by infection with Omicron (4.4-fold vs. 14-fold). That’s still ballpark. Probably comparable to a Delta-specific vaccine.
Not bad at all, IMO. We’ll just have to see how real-world data pan out.
That’s all for now, but stay tuned.
Because YES – there’s MOAR.

After a lost week of human self-experimentation to survive multiply mutated Fauci-Baric China Virus, Wolf has obtained answers to a thousand questions. Here are just a few of those answers.
Over the last week, overcoming my SECOND case of the China virus, I have been able to learn quite a bit about the enemy’s weaponry – AND our own.
I was READY this time. PREPARATION paid off, and big-league.
I tried to help others prepare, and ended up helping myself, too.
OK, people. It is time for THE WOLF to GET PATTON ON YOUR ASSES. As you may know, we now have many of our dear members actively fighting COVID-19, including one (gil00) in the hospital. Several have received Regeneron. Thus far, praise God, we have not lost anybody – and I intend to keep it …
I felt it was important to share what I have learned, and to answer people’s questions, but I wanted to have enough strength to actually do a post – not just a few quick answers lost in the middle of conversations.
I have answered a few questions already – I will try to link to some of those answers. Other answers I may copy here. But most of these questions are being answered here for the first time.
HERE WE GO!
1. Which version of COVID-19 did I have?
singingsoul1(@singingsoul1) Online Wolverine Reply to Wolf Moon December 3, 2021 19:46
Wolf is that [omicron] the strain you and your wife caught? I am wondering since you did not respond as well to Ivermectin?
Where did you catch the first virus covid and where do you think you caught the second virus? You caught two different strains?
What I had this time was almost certainly Delta.
What I had the first time was almost certainly a minor variant of the original Wuhan strain (COVID-19).
Here is the current worldwide geographic distribution according to NextStrain.
Note that the colors are not fixed – the same data may be shown with different colors from one day to the next.
The turquoise color which covers 2/3 to 3/4 of almost every pie chart across the planet is the Delta variant. You can see that it has rapidly become the predominant version.
The various grayish versions (1/4 to 1/3 of each pie) are basically the original Wuhan strains PLUS the gazillion minor morphs of THAT which formed immediately. You remember the “European strain” and the “Washington strain”, and the “New York”, “Italian”, etc. – those were all still basically Wuhan, and those are the variants that are still effectively treated by all the original vaccines and antibodies.
If things had stayed there, the vaccinated would largely not be having breakthrough cases right now. Similarly, I would not have had a “breakthrough case” on my natural immunity.
The purplish and orange versions are other minor variants of concern, some of which were once much bigger concerns, until delta began to predominate. The vaccines still held up fairly well against those, as did, apparently, my natural immunity.
Omicron (red) is barely on the map right now.
It is EXTREMELY unlikely that I had omicron. It is VERY likely that I had standard issue delta variant.
2. How do I know that I had COVID-19?
Within a 24 hour period, I was positive to three tests – TWO antigen tests (BinaxNOW and QuickVue), plus a PCR test run by my primary care physician’s group.
The same tests showed my wife to be negative on Day Zero and Day One of my infection.
However, LATER, on Day 4 of my case, another run of QuickVue showed my wife to be weakly positive.
In my opinion, and with as much experience as I have now, running them, these antigen tests are highly reliable and trustworthy.
But that’s just the beginning.
My new case was, in so many ways, almost identical to the case that I had in January 2020. That case predated the availability of tests. Also, because it predated antibody test availability, I never got an antibody test until 6 months later – which by then was negative.
But now I’m CERTAIN. I had COVID the first time. Same damn disease. THE SAME.
And it all makes sense. DELTA BREAKTHROUGH IS possible for Wuhan natural immunity, IMO. Maybe not for everybody, but it was for me.
3. Did ivermectin work for me?
I strongly suspect that ivermectin helped me avoid serious problems and recover quickly.
I cannot be sure that ivermectin actually helped, but it certainly didn’t hurt. I would be very tempted to use ivermectin again, if I got COVID again.
My wife also used ivermectin, and it seemed to “flatten the curve” of viral load for her, too.
I would be bullshitting to say that I know ivermectin helped, or that my case “proves that it works.” But I can easily say that I strongly suspect that it helped.
4. Did I have any side effects from ivermectin?
Yes, but the side effects were extremely minor, for as massively high of a dose as I was taking.
I decided to roughly follow the FLCCC “triple-dose” (0.6 mg/kg) recommendation for an active infection, because I had two of the conditions that cause FLCCC to recommend the highest dose – (1) likelihood of delta strain, and (2) multiple comorbidities.
I decided that the same applied to my wife.
To mitigate side effects, I did NOT take the daily amount in a single dose, but rather spread it out in 12-mg pill-pops during the day. But even with the spreading of the doses, and taking them with meals, I felt the following symptoms.
desire to sleep after meals
“lazy eye focus” for a few hours
stomach “not quite right”
None of this was bad enough to quit the drug, or even to reduce the dose, but after 5 days of it, I was absolutely done. I had ZERO desire to take ivermectin any more. I wanted my stomach to return to normal, even if that entailed a greater risk. Given that most of my other symptoms were gone, I didn’t feel like it was much of a risk.
Also, ivermectin has a pretty long half-life, so after 5 days of super-high-dosing it, I’m probably STILL flushing it out of my system.
My wife experienced the same stomach issues. She was ready to give it up after 6 days.
5. What about the Zelenko / Raoult protocols?
Yes. I credit azithromycin every bit as much as ivermectin, and I have more direct evidence that it helped me.
This is where the reasoning gets very complicated.
In early 2020, I was immediately impressed by the work of Didier Raoult (hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin) and later by the clinical real-world proof of Zev Zelenko (added zinc and moved treatment to outpatient prophylaxis). I was absolutely convinced that early azithromycin was key to stopping the killer pulmonary symptoms of the disease, and basically turned it into “just another weak, influenza-like coronavirus”.
Although it turns out that azithromycin has its own powerful antiviral activities, the main thing it did, in my opinion then and now, was to prevent any type of pneumonia from setting in. This is critical if you want to stay out of the hospital.
Thus, as soon as I started detecting what I considered scary lung issues (burning lungs, basically), which was almost immediately (end of day zero, middle of day one), I decided to begin TWO ADDITIONAL PROTOCOLS.
The first was a modified Zelenko protocol. I increased my zinc to my maximum levels ever taken, plus quercetin as natural capers (clearly the bad influence of Aubergine). My wife and I also began using elderberry syrup as an additional zinc ionophore.
However, the real key was adding azithromycin – 2 days at 500 mg, and 2 days at 250 mg. The very first dose resulted in an immediate improvement in my lungs.
There is simply no arguing against the clinical record of success of the Zelenko protocol. I trusted it in my scientific reasoning in 2020, and I trusted it to treat myself.
I get far more mileage out of real-world clinical studies like Raoult’s and Zelenko’s, than out of Fauci’s little “double-blind” – whoops – I mean “double-chump” scam studies that can be manipulated against both doctor and patient by lying, phony, deceptive, agenda-filled, biased, compromised, fake-neutral parties.
The whole idea of double-blind studies falls apart when the researchers and patients are innocent DUPES and CHUMPS, and the people who are supposed to be honest referees in charge of neutrality are in fact dishonest manipulators like NIH, CDC, CEPI, Gates, WHO, and all the rest.
In contrast, studies like Zelenko’s and Raoult’s are pretty much open source. No Fauci-type con-man is in charge of fake neutrality. This being a neutrality I have little care for anyway, because I don’t care what exactly saved the people – simply that they were saved.
Yeah – I’m biased in favor of MEDICINE ITSELF.
The protocol works, end of story.
Fauci’s “studied ignorance” of clinical success is exactly why the man should have been fired DECADES AGO. He’s not a doctor – not a patient-treating one – and he should not be in charge of doctors.
HOWEVER – I do have to admit – azithromycin was even harder on my gut than ivermectin. Four days was all I could take. My stomach was always double-queasy if I took AZM with my IVM. There was NO WAY I was going to do a fifth day.
But YES – the stuff worked, and IMO kept my lungs “infection-free”, knock on wood.
Thank you, Doctors Raoult and Zelenko!!!
6. What about antihistamines?
Absolutely. The same well-proven clinical success that Zelenko had with azithromycin, was also evident in the results from the Spanish nursing homes. It would have been negligent not to take an antihistamine, in my opinion.
That, plus some additional reasoning I will explain below.
Based on the recommendations of people here, I chose Claritin (loratadine), and quickly found that I tolerated it easily at the recommended double doses.
I experienced a very, very slight dryness of the mouth, but that’s it. Just to be careful, I tended to keep the dosing closer to 1.5 instead of double, but in the absence of all the other drugs I was taking, I would have been more rigorous about the double dose, without consequence.
For those who need a refresher on the use of antihistamines against COVID…..
Everybody underestimates Spain. The last letter in “PIGS” is far less of an insult than an error. Years ago, when I was at a conference, and Japanese industrial spies were getting me drunk (it was a great red wine), I decided that I had to give them SOMETHING for their time and effort, if only …
Now – here is some important new reasoning I had.
In the FLCCC protocols, and the Zelenko protocols, there is very little if any “over-the-counter” patient control in terms of things which could possibly pre-address and prevent the “cytokine storm” problem – particularly any drug that is available on an outpatient, OTC basis.
In the FLCCC protocols, aspirin is the main anti-clotting drug with something approaching that function. In the original Raoult and Zelenko protocols, HCQ’s antirheumatic functions combined with azithromycin’s actions seemed to suppress pulmonary capillary clotting, although neither did so as well as steroids.
The fact is, however, that the Spanish nursing home study had extremely good success preventing cytokine storms by simply using antihistamines on ALL patients, both as treatment and as prophylaxis. The entire emphasis of the approach was not so much to prevent disease, as to simply limit the disease.
To me it was a no-brainer to add an antihistamine to prevent inflammatory clotting – something that I knew already I was susceptible to, because of my first case of COVID, after which I lost lung function.
Loratadine turned out to be a VERY high-bang-for-buck fix for me, because it also dried nasal and sinus secretions, helped my breathing, reduced lung congestion, and generally decreased symptoms.
Thus, I found that adding an antihistamine had both clearly observable short-term benefits, and very likely long-term benefits.
I highly recommend adding this protocol during COVID treatment. It’s completely OTC as well – the Medical Mafia in Washington simply can’t stop it.
Multiple studies have showed that aspirin, even at low doses, is both protective against getting COVID-19 and also protective against hospitalization and death. The numbers are substantial, too.
This is, again, part of the FLCCC protocol, and pretty much a no-brainer.
I started off using half a regular aspirin, but quickly found that it was just one more drug beating on my stomach.
Switching to low-dose aspirin worked nicely to make any stomach symptoms go away. I also found that I did not need more than 1 or 2 low-dose baby aspirins to control fever. I was able to routinely drop my fever back to near-normal with either 81 mg or 162 mg of aspirin.
Now, my doctor’s practice recommended acetominophen in case I had a high fever, but I never came close to needing it. As it was, I did not want to risk my liver in ANY WAY with all the other high drug doses, so there was NO WAY I was going to add dangerous acetominophen to the mix.
According to the literature studies, even a single baby aspirin per day was enough to show the protective effect. Thus, I made sure to always take 81-325 mg aspirin per day, and will continue with at least 81 mg/day for some time to be determined.
8. What about HCQ?
Not this time, but I would not rule it out in the future – particularly in the absence of ivermectin.
When I got my ivermectin, I had the opportunity to get hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin as well. I chose the latter, but decided not to bother with HCQ I would likely not use.
I let ivermectin be my “drug of choice” for fighting COVID, for many reasons, including the greater safety profile and better understanding by doctors’ groups, including FLCCC. I am satisfied that I made the right choice in ivermectin, but quite frankly, it would have been a good thing to have some HCQ on hand as well.
Anything that kills viruses, is better than their “stupidity of spike identity” vaccine.
9. Did I gargle?
Yes. I used FLCCC-recommended and study-backed Listerine “with essential oils”, and the benefits were obvious.
Actually, ALL the Listerine variations use the same “essential oils” – pick any of them. Some of the time, I used one that also packs zinc chloride, to really screw with the virus.
At first, I went with warm saturated sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) gargle, which was the gargle used by the Spanish nursing homes.
Warm bicarb is actually a really good solution, in terms of soothing the throat and decreasing viral load (as experienced through reduction of key symptoms), but it doesn’t really do a lot in terms of opening up breathing passages.
In contrast, Listerine gargle was EXCELLENT for helping to clear breathing passages, AND to decrease viral load in the throat and mouth. The beneficial effects even extended to the lungs. I only needed to do it 2 or 3 times a day, and the effects lasted for hours afterwards.
The Listerine gargle was also excellent before sleeping, to have a peaceful night’s rest, with clear breathing.
In my opinion, the gargling protocol is really key to helping end things quickly.
NOW – there is some difference between what I experienced and what FLCCC recommends. FLCCC only recommends (at the moment) Listerine for prevention – they DROP IT for early treatment, and recommend ONLY the other types of antiseptics (cetylpyridinium, povidone-iodine, chlorhexidine) once you get the disease. Yet, honestly, I was totally satisfied with the performance of Listerine for TREATMENT, and would not hesitate to use it again.
This may be an individual thing. As they say, your mileage may vary.
10. What about povidone-iodine gargle?
I didn’t use it this time, but I may very well try it next time!
I was not aware that you can just buy this stuff OTC, but yeah – it’s a product. In the studies I read, povidone-iodine was THE BEST in lowering viral load in patients. It did better than Listerine – not by a whole lot, but enough that it might be worth it.
So if you can’t stand Listerine of any kind, or Scope, or whatever – consider trying this one.
11. Did I get the monoclonal antibodies?
Yes. In “better late than never” fashion, I got the mAb infusion after the treatment with ivermectin and azithromycin was already finished, and my fever was gone.
I was fever-free when I got the antibodies, and fever free when I left the infusion center. Shortly after that, I became exhausted and had a fever again. In another 24 hours, my strength was back and the fever was gone yet again.
Basically, I was treating Delta with more Wuhan antibodies like my own, which had already only provided some protection.
I cannot really be sure if the antibodies helped. I personally found that they knocked me out, increased my fever, and made me suffer a “day of exhaustion” that I had otherwise MISSED thanks to ivermectin.
Were they beneficial? Possibly, but I can’t be certain.
My wife got the antibodies somewhat earlier in the progress of the disease, because she got them at the same time I did, but her case was tracking mine LATE by roughly four days.
The antibodies didn’t completely finish her case, but she really only had one more day of disease after the “antibody down day”.
I would say that antibody infusion was far more likely to have helped HER than it was to have helped ME.
If I had to choose between antibodies, aspirin, loratadine, azithromycin, and ivermectin, I’m not actually sure which one I would toss. I consider EACH of them, just one more tool to make sure the disease stays contained. Use as many as you can get.
12. So what happened to my “natural immunity”?
Try some “AND” logic.
It’s still there – waiting patiently for a disease that no longer exists.
This blurry snapshot from NextStrain is from a “play mode” view of the data, where you can watch the genetic data being added in accelerated time. I have focused the active band on early 2020. The “19” and “20” strains are pre-delta – they were well within the window of my natural immunity, which was probably generated by a strain within what they are now calling 19A.
Follow the evolution forward in time, and you can see the massive shift to delta versions, shown in turquoise and indigo below.
SO – what I have now is DOUBLE natural immunity to TWO HUGE CHUNKS of older/existing COVID-19/20/21/22, the now-rare “gray” stuff and the very common “blue-green” stuff.
You can see, though, where OMICRON in RED is now forming. Whether I have any, some, or no immunity to omicron is an open question. HOWEVER, I would much rather have combined natural immunity to TWO groups of COVID variants, than three, four, or even five vaccines.
We have to start being very scientific about immunity, including in particular natural immunity, which is IMO the BEST response to highly mutating diseases, just as it has ALWAYS been.
Fauci is gaslighting us. Ignore him.
Until the poisonous dwarf is removed from power, do your own science.

OK, people. It is time for THE WOLF to GET PATTON ON YOUR ASSES.
As you may know, we now have many of our dear members actively fighting COVID-19, including one (gil00) in the hospital. Several have received Regeneron. Thus far, praise God, we have not lost anybody – and I intend to keep it that way.
For updates on the health of our members, we now have a dedicated thread, listed at the top of the sidebar. Feel free to record information there, including LINKS to comments from sick members in the daily threads.
This is a new thread for QTreepers with health issues of ANY kind to keep us updated. I have absolutely no problem with people posting HERE, on the OPEN THREADS, or BOTH. You do what is right for you. We’re here for YOU. I want people to post wherever they feel most comfortable. I also …
We have also covered a specific case of ivermectin, used to treat COVID-19, with FANTASTIC RESULTS.
This is a great selfie video, done by a young lady with a glorious Southern accent, chronicling her week of COVID-19 and recovery, treated with ivermectin. It’s short – just under 7 minutes – but it captures a lot of information about symptoms and relief by the drug. I can’t embed the video here due …
We have had many, many, many discussions of how to obtain ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine – now for over a year.
MANY of our members have gotten a hold of one, two, or even THREE OR MORE forms or versions of drugs used to treat COVID-19. When I say that people have STASHES, I mean it. They have STASHES.
So the problem is not that people don’t have the means to treat or prevent the disease.
The problem is that people don’t ALWAYS have the WILL to begin treatment EARLY.
TREATING EARLY was GOD’S GIFT TO US through Doctor Zelenko. This MAN OF GOD realized that the most important way to fight COVID was to hit it EARLY and COMPREHENSIVELY.
At that time, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, and zinc was the best combination.
Now, we realize that ivermectin can augment or substitute for hydroxychloroquine. We also understand that VITAMIN D is critical.
We further understand that simple antihistamines such as zyrtec, loratadine, and others can almost completely eliminate the deadly late phase complications of COVID-19 infection.
Everybody underestimates Spain. The last letter in “PIGS” is far less of an insult than an error. Years ago, when I was at a conference, and Japanese industrial spies were getting me drunk (it was a great red wine), I decided that I had to give them SOMETHING for their time and effort, if only …
SO – I am not going to recap any of that stuff. Likewise, I am not going to re-justify the use of ivermectin, and its GREAT results in India, Indonesia, Japan, Brazil, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and everywhere ELSE that is out of the reach of the Branch Covidian propaganda machine.
Instead, I want to do these things:
I want to make sure that everybody here:
HAS A PLAN
HAS ANTIGEN TEST KITS TO BEGIN THEIR PLAN
HAS A STASH THAT SUPPORTS THEIR PLAN
HAS ADVOCATES WHO WILL ASSIST THEIR PLAN
HAS HOSPITAL COMMS TO THIS SITE TO UPHOLD THEIR PLAN
HAS THE *WILL* TO WITHOUT HESITATION START THEIR PLAN
HAS THE *TRAINING* TO FEEL CONFIDENT IN THEIR PLAN
Are you all with me?
TRAINING is key. You are going to assemble a plan and then you are going to TRAIN FOR IT.
Some of this is going to involve helping you understand what COULD be in your stash, and what SHOULD be in your stash.
Now – this is a moving target, and I will be changing and updating the information that follows.
But right now, the MINIMUM that should be in your stash, should be vitamin D and zinc supplements, to prevent COVID-19. Next, you need OTC antihistamines – see the above post.
This is the BARE MINIMUM to save your life. If you have adequate Vitamin D and adequate zinc, and are deficient in neither, then you are VERY unlikely to die from COVID-19.
If you take antihistamines, and you take them IMMEDIATELY or even PREVENTATIVELY, you are even LESS LIKELY TO DIE.
If you have these things, and the WILL to take some of them as needed BEFORE you get COVID, and the WILL to take the others as needed IMMEDIATELY when you think or KNOW that you have COVID-19, you can almost guarantee that you will NOT DIE.
If you want to go further, you need to get ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine.
If you want to strike with maximum efficiency, so that you can take the drugs you need IMMEDIATELY, you also need antigen tests.
These are available from your local pharmacy now, or by mail order.
I will compile a list of URLs here, as an appendix, for you to get these things.
But right now, the main thing I want to do, is to DEBRIEF each of you on your stash and your level of preparation. Then, in the comments, we are going to TRAIN EACH OTHER on preparation and RAPID DEPLOYMENT at the first sign of COVID-19.
So JOIN ME in the comments, and TELL ME (as much as you feel comfortable doing) about your STASH, but FAR MORE IMPORTANTLY….
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PLAN.
Those of you who have fought or ARE fighting COVID right now, are welcome to TELL or RE-TELL what you did, what you didn’t do, and what you wished you had done, or might have done better.
I want to get ALL OF THIS TREATMENT INFORMATION in one place. I will distill out the most important stuff, and put it in the post itself.
You could save a fellow member, and for each of them, you could save 10 lurkers.
DO IT! Who will be first?

Appendix – Sources for Therapeutics
I will add entries from comments below. Please help add to this list.
This is a great outfit. They are very professional. You need to be prepared with an email address, a PayPal account, and a phone number for them to discuss what they have and what you need. They are friendly, competent, speak good English, and have reasonable prices.
You need to know in advance exactly what you want and how much of it you want. They will ship immediately. You will have product delivered in as little as 2 weeks, or as many as 6 weeks, thanks to supply chain issues, but you will be able to track your shipment.
They also have azithromycin, hydroxychloroquine, doxycycline, steroids, and others. I do NOT recommend buying anything you are not VERY comfortable using, and which you don’t already know proper dosage and contraindications. Likewise, if you are not comfortable purchasing “global OTC medicines” from suppliers like this, and wish to only obtain medicines with a doctor’s prescription, then please seek those drugs through doctors listed below.
This method is not for sissies. I don’t want to talk you out of it, but you are buying real medicine and treating YOURSELF by general published medical recommendations. If that makes you nervous, then go the doctor route. But remember this.
Hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin can SAVE YOUR LIFE.
Some people feel more comfortable this way. Not a problem if you do. These are quality drugs, suitable for human use.
Veterinary supply companies provide ivermectin as both the injectable form (1%) and the horse paste.
In BOTH cases, you want to take it ORALLY. You do not want to inject it. You just have to use the right amount, because you are not a horse, so you don’t need as much.
The horse paste is probably easier if you are more of a COOK, and the injectable is probably easier if you are more of a LAB RAT. We can work with you either way, to get what you need and to help you understand dosages.
The advantage of using antigen tests, is that you won’t waste your ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine on some cold or weak flu. You will KNOW that you have COVID, and you will be able to take your therapeutic in CONFIDENCE. Thus, if you are AMBIVALENT about taking ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine preventatively, then just wait until you have a positive antigen test, and THEN take the drugs, when you KNOW they will work.
With an antigen test, you can hit COVID on DAY ONE of the clinical infection.
5. Antibody / Regeneron / Lilly / MAb
Use these links to find infusion centers and information on availability.
In my opinion, you can HOPE for these treatments, but (1) there are no guarantees, and (2) you may prove not to be eligible for many reasons, EVEN if you try to get treatment within the first 10 days.
Don’t count on this method, is my advice. But DO make it part of your PLAN!
6. Moxidectin
This is an alternative to ivermectin, which are longer-lasting with completely different dosages. Be VERY careful if you investigate this therapeutic. IMO it is not nearly as well-understood as ivermectin as an antiviral or treatment for long-haul, but it has been clearly demonstrated as effective, IMO. If anybody has information from doctors about safe dosages of moxidectin in humans, please post it!
The murderous LancetGate Effect is back, and this time it killed thousands before bureaucrats relented and allowed doctors to save patients.
[ Hat Tip to barkerjim for alerting me to this Indonesian case. ]
Part 1 – LancetGate Effect 1.0 and 1.1
Ah, the memories of LancetGate! That moment when “they” “finally” “proved” that hydroxychloroquine didn’t work.
Until – it turned out – they had proved nothing. For when honest people looked at the bogus Surgisphere study, embarrassingly published in The Lancet, they realized that it was absolute horseshit, built on bad data, by people who had no idea what they were doing, other than trying to KILL hydroxychloroquine. Presumably on behalf of Mysterious Unknown Bill Gateses and Nations That Might Be China.
The trouble is, by the time the study was proven to be a bunch of happy horseshit, bureaucrats had eagerly and enthusiastically banned hydroxychloroquine for treatment of COVID-19 in several countries, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people worldwide were denied hydroxychloroquine, many of them dying within that typical 14-day window in which COVID-19 kills people.
However, something interesting happened when hydroxychloroquine was banned in Switzerland.
Because the bans of HCQ were all planned and coordinated around the release of the false study, they went into effect almost immediately, with relentless efficiency. It was in some cases immediately impossible for doctors to get hydroxychloroquine.
THAT created a sharpness in the curves.
Fourteen days later, the deaths from COVID-19 began spiking – HARD. Now, people were criticizing the study almost immediately, and within a few weeks, the study was already looking very shaky, as The Lancet started backing down, ultimately leading to retraction.
The Swiss didn’t wait that long to correct their error. They saw the deaths, allowed HCQ back into the hands of doctors, saving the lives of patients, again with GREAT SUDDENNESS, despite the “best wishes” of neo-Nazi KlauSS Schwab and the WEFFEN SS Great Resetters, who needed more dead people – even their own pitiful Davos plebes.
And THIS was the result.
It was a STUNNING little blip in the data.
The result was even more interesting when compared to France, where HCQ was immediately suppressed, thanks to communist bureaucrat Agnes Buzyn, who swiftly made the OTC drug almost unobtainable.
Allow me to explain these graphs.
France starts off worse than Switzerland due to suppression of hydroxychloroquine, and gets even worse as supplies dry up, while Switzerland gets better immediately, with doctors experimenting with treatments based on the earlier research and cutting-edge studies, including both chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. A stunning indictment of post-Soviet bureaucracy.
So why does France start getting better (going down)? That is the result of research by Prof. Didier Raoult in Marseilles, in the South of France, who quickly got extremely positive results by semi-prophylactic “early treatment” of both the virus and subsequent pneumonia, using a combination of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and azithromycin (AZM), without waiting for positive test results for bacterial infection. This idea of prophylactic antibiotics is KEY to saving lives, and later influenced Dr. Zelenko in America to try a combination of HCQ, AZM, and zinc, given at the first sign of the disease, as an outpatient treatment. Zelenko gets wildly good results, preventing hospitalizations and deaths at nearly 100% level, yet is unable to get organizations like the AMA to acknowledge the treatment.
The problem for Prof. Raoult was that he was immediately vilified by the forces of Big Pharma. Some of it was absolutely stunning. Nevertheless, there was a strong group of “populist” doctors and scientists in France, and also internationally, who supported Raoult, even though the MONEY was clearly against him.
Nonetheless, Raoult was winning the hearts and minds of practitioners in France – particularly in the South of the country, and admirers around the world. And THAT is why the numbers kept getting better.
One of my favorite French memes…..
And then LANCETGATE happened, as you can see in the graph.
And then the LancetGate Effect, fully visible when LancetGate was exposed, and HCQ was allowed back into the physician’s arsenal of salvation.
France was already operating under a “ban” on hydroxychloroquine, and there was considerable pressure on Prof. Raoult, but it did not really get worse for him, or for other doctors using HCQ in spite of the ban, until a few weeks into the LancetGate Effect, where you can see a lesser effect than in Switzerland starting to happen in France, but an upward trend in deaths just the same. But the main point THERE is that the Swiss results ALMOST joined the French results.
Now, one of the confirmations of this was a SIMILAR effect in America.
The scale below is upside-down from above. In this case, UP is GOOD, DOWN is BAD.
Thanks to the WUWT weather and climate guys for finding this little nugget.
If you want to read more about these cases, please click on two old blog posts here which talk about the LancetGate Effect.
The first one talks about the effect itself.
The second involves a huge counteroffensive against all the people who had maligned hydroxychloroquine, in which Dr. Zelenko began collecting all the evidence, before it could be deleted.

You will notice in these old articles that Twitter has now BLOCKED all my tweet threads on the LancetGate Effect, by “suspending” my account. Someday Jack Dorsey will answer for this!
Part 2 – LancetGate Effect 2.0
The following information was nicely captured in TWO articles in The Gateway Pundit.
Note that time has passed between LancetGate Effects 1.0 and 2.0 – the drug of choice for treating COVID-19 is now IVERMECTIN – at high enough doses that it shows a pronounced ANTIVIRAL effect. Fortunately, the antiparasitic drug has such an incredibly high therapeutic margin, it actually has a usable secondary antiviral activity.
Who would have known? THAT is science – and science in service of humanity.
The graph that really explains things is this one.
Now I will immediately tell you that the labeling of the graph is “true but misleading”. It LOOKS like the graph is saying:
“They banned ivermectin on 06/12/21 and the number of cases took off. Then it was approved on 07/15/21 and it dropped again.”
That is NOT the case. That “Ivermectin banned” arrow could just as easily point at the whole line to the left of the July 15th arrow.
The REAL reason for the huge spike is the arrival of the DELTA VARIANT in Indonesia. That hit the previously isolated island country, and the cases took off. AT THAT TIME, ivermectin was still banned, because the Indonesian health ministry was following the advice of WHO, CDC, FDA, and the EU.
BIG MISTAKE.
Here is another look at the data.
You can see how deaths track cases in time. After ivermectin was approved and made widely available, due to the desperation of the authorities, no longer willing to listen to Western Bolshevik and Globalist media propaganda, both reported cases and deaths dropped like a rock.
This is not hard.
Namibia did the same thing, and got great results.
What education are you talking about. In Namibia, Africa we used ivermectin in my hometown. Cases dropped like a rock, same as in india and indonesia. It's clear who the ignorant one is. For god's sake you hold a Phd, act like it!
People in America were simply not prepared to see just how mercenary Big Pharma really is, particularly now that it operates hand-in-glove with the Wokester Bolshevik and Globalist Scum. People in the “third world” are quite familiar with the concept, however. They know that they are barely even numbers to the elite globalists who run the planet – who operate with far more concern for imperial politics than for the people themselves.
Part 3 – Accountability
India has had its own experiences with ivermectin, and as far as India is concerned, ivermectin saved the day there, too.
A different state was not so lucky. They listened to the wrong woman, thereby dropping ivermectin for a while, and many people died.
The problem is, India has its own problem with UN-loving idiot wokesters who value globalist conformity over truth, and it resulted in THOUSANDS OF DEAD.
However, there is also accountability.
Although this has largely been covered up by the globalist media, Indian authorities have decided to prosecute their own “Fauci” for misleading the public on ivermectin, which led to thousands of people dying.
India charges WHO Scientist Soumya Swaminathan: India is a forefront nation in demanding accountability from the WHO, the Indian Bar Association (IBA) now suing WHO Chief Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan.
They are accusing her of causing the deaths of many Indian citizens by misleading them about the effect of Ivermectin, which she stated did not work against Covid-19.
As a result, the use of Ivermectin to cure Covid-19 was stopped and Covid cases exploded with deaths increasing ten-fold.
Point 56 states: “That your misleading tweet on May 10, 2021, against the use of Ivermectin had the effect of the State of Tamil Nadu withdrawing Ivermectin from the protocol on May 11, 2021, just a day after the Tamil Nadu government had indicated the same for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. (Feature photo: WHO Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan)
Specific charges included the running of a disinformation campaign against Ivermectin and issuing statements in social and mainstream media to wrongfully influence the public against the use of Ivermectin despite the existence of large amounts of clinical data showing its profound effectiveness in both prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
In particular, the Indian Bar brief referenced the peer-reviewed publications and evidence compiled by the ten-member Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) group and the 65-member British Ivermectin Recommendation Development (BIRD) panel headed by WHO consultant and meta-analysis expert Dr. Tess Lawrie.”
Will Fauci, Walensky, and “Thalidomide Janet” Woodcock see justice?
NIH is sponsoring a new TRIAL of ivermectin to treat COVID-19.
The latest chess move by NIH may be a move toward truth, or it could be more smoke and mirrors. However, I am telling you now – WE THE PEOPLE can force the play to yield TRUTH, if we keep our eyes on the ball.
In my opinion, we are FORCING – by the threat of NUREMBERG 2 – various government agencies to turn away from the Faucist false narratives they KNOW will do them as much good as “We were only following orders” helped the lower-level Nazis.
For example, the recent FDA 16-3 vote AGAINST sketchy, unproven, and very likely USELESS or actually counterproductive boosters – which the Faucists had to REVERSE by diktat of CDC’s Rochelle Alinsky – tells me that people in government who KNOW THE SCORE are starting to REBEL against “top-down” medicine, if only to save their own skins.
Yes, YouTube is holding the line for Comrade Alinsky, but others are starting to move away from the pounding gavels of NUREMBERG 2, sounding from just over the horizon of time.
Notice how FAKE NEWS can’t help but go after ivermectin, even reporting that NIH is giving it a trial.
YOU’RE A JOKE, FAKE NEWS!
Now – trust me – there are a thousand ways that people inside NIH, CDC, NIAID, or FDA could game the results of this study. I may talk about some of the other methods, but there is ONE in particular that was already used against hydroxychloroquine.
Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on US.
The way to insure a FAIL of any trial of an antiviral against COVID-19 is to give it too late. That includes “standard” antivirals like acyclovir, remdesivir, etc., AND it includes non-standard antivirals like hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin.
To validly test an antiviral, you have to give it early enough that it makes a difference. For a safe but highly nonstandard (and likely WEAKER) antiviral, “early enough” means VERY EARLY.
Dr. Zelenko recognized this IMMEDIATELY. That is why he jumped on very early outpatient hydroxychloroquine PLUS azithromycin (Raoult’s therapy, moved up in time) PLUS zinc, knowing that all three have a very HIGH margin of safety, so there is no need to wait – thus better to GET THE JUMP on both SARS-CoV-2 AND bacterial pneumonia, as well as any possible zinc deficiency.
Zelenko moved Raoult’s therapy to ALMOST prophylaxis, and removed the concern of zinc deficiency, common in the elderly.
It was SIMPLE, but it was BRAVE and GENIUS.
Now – LATER – there were COWARDLY attack studies, where hydroxychloroquine was administered too late, too much, and to dying patients, long after both antiviral and antirheumatic activities would do absolutely no good.
The scientific community called these studies out, but still – SHAME.
Will it happen again here?
Not if we can help it.
WHAT WE HAVE A CHANCE TO DO HERE, IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS STUDY OF IVERMECTIN CAN’T BE PURPOSELY FAILED BY LATE ADMINISTRATION.
The beauty of this study is that WE THE PEOPLE are the ones who “call in” when we get COVID. The earlier that is done, the more likely that ivermectin will PROVE its awesome ability to stop COVID in its tracks.
Thus, it is imperative that truth-seeking Deplorables (or libtards who are red-pilled enough to believe me) who are at risk for COVID-19, be READY to get into this study the MOMENT they are diagnosed.
And the easiest way to do THAT is to simply do the following:
Be familiar with the study
have the site bookmarked
have its phone number saved to your contacts
Have a COVID test on hand at home
Abbott BinaxNOW test is $25 for two (2) tests
antigen test is highly accurate, is NOT a PCR test
test takes 15 minutes and is very simple to perform
Use ALL OPTIONS to accelerate delivery of the treatments

The ACTIV-6 Study
The ACTIV-6 research study is testing several medications that are already approved for other diseases to see if they can help people with mild to moderate COVID-19 feel better faster and stay out of the hospital.
If you are 30 years old or older, have tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 10 days and have at least 2 COVID-19 symptoms for 7 days or less, you can help make a difference by participating in ACTIV-6.
You can participate from anywhere in the U.S. Medications are shipped to you at no cost. You will keep track of your symptoms and how you feel over 90 days.
Medications in the ACTIV-6 Study
ACTIV-6 is evaluating repurposed medications for effective, safe treatments for mild-to-moderate COVID-19. Repurposed medications are already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for other indications. The study is now testing these medications:
Fluticasone
an inhaled steroid commonly prescribed for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Fluvoxamine
a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), often prescribed for depression
Ivermectin
used to treat parasitic infections
These medications can be shipped anywhere in the United States at no cost to participants.
Why This Study Is Important
Vaccines are available, but access is limited in some areas and new, more transmissible variants of the virus are emerging in the U.S. People are still getting sick, and many remain at risk for the disease.
Results from ACTIV-6 will help researchers understand how existing medications can improve symptoms and limit hospitalizations for people with mild to moderate COVID-19.
Study Eligibility
ACTIV-6 is for you if:
You are 30 years old or older
Tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 10 days
Have at least 2 COVID-19 symptoms for 7 days or less

Now – I want to be absolutely clear about something – which is another way of saying that I want to rub FAKE SCIENCE’S NOSE in it’s own POOP.
We are not “gaming” this study by FORCING better science on establishment science. We are making sure that this is not a “gamed” study, by REMOVING the most likely (and proven) source of gaming the study to NOT SHOW A RESULT.
If the average starting time of therapy goes DOWN to where conclusive results are shown, that is GOOD DESIGN. That’s what we’re banking on here.
So – be sure to bookmark this sucker. If you get COVID, and this study (or a successor study) is running, you want to get into it.
