#1 No wonder the Palestinians, with barely 1/4 Israel's vaccination rate, have exactly the same COVID death rate per million population as Israel.

Criminal stupidity.

#3 In conjunction with Sunlight more specifically Far infrared. Sunrise till 11am then 2PM till sunset. Not vitamin D alone.

#4 Yes. The actual sunlight has psychological as well as biological benefits. Whether that's a factor in strengthening the immune system or otherwise improving the body's ability to fight infection we will probably never know, as there's no way to monetize it.

#5 wonder how many lives would have been saved if, in say June 2000, Fauci would have said, 'Yes. It makes sense to increase your Vitamin D intake, at least to recommended levels.'

#6 ^ tens of thousands in this country. At least a million around the world

Multiply the above had the FD@-CDC-WH0 Disinformation Complex recommended HCQ and ivermectin as treatments instead of spreading lies and forcing all of us into their more harm-than-good experimental gene therapies.

Criminal. They have destroyed public confidence in not just public health authorities but pharm@cy and medic!ne itself.

I still cannot believe the sheer insanity of all that has been done to us these last 2 years by these madmen.

Staggering incompetence and stupidity -- and in Fauxi's case, psychopathic cruelty

#7 Dr Malone fights back.

Now Dr. Malone, Dr. Risch of Yale and Dr. Peter McCullough are threatening litigation against the lies, BS, fabrications and outright slander from idiot Pravda-Media know-nothings.

From Malone's letter to the DM:

"According to overwhelming data from dozens of studies and real-world use, attested to by world-leading, Nobel Prize-winning scientists and physicians, the widespread deployment of two inexpensive and extraordinarily safe medicines, hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, in combination with other readily-accessible drugs, would have reduced U.S. COVID hospitalizations by 87.6% (https://www.ijirms.in/index.php/ijirms/article/view/1100) mortality by 74.9% (same reference ).

"Among these world-leading scientists are Drs. Peter McCullough, Pierre Kory, Robert Malone and Harvey Risch, all of whom are widely-published, widely-respected, highly-credentialed experts in their fields, and all of whom have agreed to serve as experts in this litigation. We have also retained Dr. Joel Hay, an expert in health economics specializing in the pharmaceutical industry, to calculate the damages incurred by the State of Florida and other States as a result of the failure to prescribe these medicines.

"Every one of these scientific experts will testify and confirm that millions of hospitalizations and roughly 75%, or 450,000, of the estimated 600,000 COVID deaths, would have been averted if hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin had been widely deployed to combat the pandemic.

"Deploying these safe and effective drugs would, however, have thwarted the rollout of COVID vaccines. As a matter of express statutory law under 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(c)(3), COVID vaccines could not have received Emergency Use Authorizations, which they needed in order to be administered to the public, if there existed any “adequate, approved, and available alternative” for “preventing or treating” COVID.

"As a result, parties with vested interests in the vaccines, which have already garnered billions of dollars in federal funding and generated tens of billions of dollars in personal wealth for vaccine investors, waged a systematic, deceptive, fraudulent, yet highly effective campaign to discredit hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin as COVID treatments and to prevent them from being widely used to combat the pandemic."

An astute commenter on Malone's substack notes:

"What's so ironic about all of the outcries [ against Drs. Malone, McCullough, Risch, Kulldorff, Gupta, Bhattacharya, Ioannides et al. ] by scientifically illiterate reporters, musicians, blue tribe warriors, etc, is that all of these people have been digesting and regurgitating nothing but misinformation and disinformation promulgated by captured regulatory agencies like the CDC, NIH, and FDA (here in the US). None of these reporters, musicians, warriors, etc are the slightest bit scientifically literate enough to be able to distinguish between what's misinfo, disinfo or genuine questioning."

#8 Depending on how many actual "from" COVID deaths occurred, the number of lives saved had HCQ and ivermectin been applied routinely -- as they were in Uttar Pradesh province in India -- is AT LEAST 150,000 in this country and up to 450,000.

Horrific. Simply monstrous.

#9 God, Darwin, Buddha, whomever determined you would be sabertooth tiger Pooh at age 50, hence losing the ability to make vitamin D. So please take 2-5k D3 daily
