My wife (skipping prelude) had to be Covid tested yesterday in order to be admitted to the hospital. The primary provider rolled his eyes while informing her she had to be tested despite having already had Covid. He then volunteered a couple of comments. First, the numbers he cited are not counting PEOPLE, but tests, as several folks got multi-tested. Also note, this doctor and I are friendly and he knows my scientific background, and that I am still teaching high school sciences at the upper levels, so I am not suggesting he has this chat with all, or even, many, patients.

1) "We've run right at 500 tests of Covid recovered folks, and none has ever tested positive....none"
2) "The rate of vaccinated folks (and I, the author here, confess, these are self-identified, so there COULD be some unvaccinated in this group) testing positive is about 8%."
3) The rate of unvaccinated, non Covid, folks is actually also about 8%. (Again, some of these COULD have had asymptomatic Covid, and actually be survivors.)

So, to my eye, these numbers give a CLEAR indication that natural immunity is outpacing vaccination protections. Even the two possible sources for error seem to cancel or even bolster the original argument, as the potential unvaccinated in the second group could also be survivors.

When there is virtually no difference in testing results for unvaccinated groups (with some error) or vaccinated groups (also with some error), but both of those are vastly different from the previously infected, it seems to this man that the whole vaccine debate is willfully omitting facts in favor of a fear and threat narrative.

A further few comments made yesterday, in the 15 minutes we waited for the Covid test to come back negative.

4) "The vaccine side effect data methodology is deliberately framed to make sure virtually none of the side effects gets counted. 72 hours is nowhere near the 10-14 days it takes for the antibody production to ramp up and virtually assures that the blood clotting we are seeing every day in this office is 'officially' not due to vaccines."

5) "Everyone in the field knows Ivermectin works, but bigger hospitals are too scared of repercussions if they prescribe it."

6) "My college buddy was part of the vaccine studies at big pharma and he assured me NO testing was done to see if study participants had already had Covid."

Any one of these last three comments would convince me to stop listening to the 'authorities' and to look beyond mainstream media for information, but let me mention the biggest bit he showed us.

He grabbed his phone and pulled up a US media version of an India-based Covid study, briefly showing us the headings of each section. Then he showed the version actually released in India. That study had two more sections. The first was the results of Ivermectin-infusion, and the second an in-depth analysis of the obvious efficacy of ivermectin in both a prophylaxis and therapeutic role. What MEDICAL reason could exist to squelch legitimate, and promising, research? It can only be money and/or control.
