Hey Brent;
Thank you for posting this. I watched it all. Very very good information. I am familiar with this Doctor. I was reading up on him and his work the past couple of weeks so your post is a nice topping to this.
Well it did not take long for the Big-Pharm and their systemite stooges to go after him. First of all they shot him down for using the horrible term 'silver bullet' . there are a couple of doctors here in the Dallas area that are having excellent success using the Hydroxychloroquine.
I think this should be clear and shining example of how corrupt and the sheer stupidity of politics is when interfering in health care.
Thank you again Brent for this very good post.

You should say "those who believe in science" instead of "Big-Pharm and their systemite stooges".
If something meaningful were found, medical science would be on it instantly - they are tired of losing patients.

I am a BIG BELIEVER in science. I also have a pretty good idea how the money and politics gets in the way too and can manipulate it. Special interests also have their hands in deep. Remember the statement : Don't let a good crisis go to waste.
I spent 31 years in health care, 20 of those inside the hospitals and their clinics. I was everywhere and saw first hand how so much of the stuff shown an the main stream TV is bullshit. This is not a sociopolitical statement. Just an honest reply.

Science, and experience, have shown that
1. sanitize hands
2. distance
3. mask when cannot distance
4. avoid crowds
are the simple - and effective - way to go.
Anything else is a form of voodoo.
Several medical scientists have said we could return to a form of normal living if we would just do them.

For example, when our Governor 'shut down' our state in March, our county {St Joe with about 272K residents} had fifth number of cases in the state. Our neighbor - Elkhart county with about 206K residents - had just fewer, and little Cass county with about 38K residents {they have a pork packing plant} was third.

The conservatives of Elkhart county refused to wear masks or to distance - they even had an unmasked rally on their courthouse steps. The packing plant in Cass county was shutdown for about a week while they reorganized it, including plexiglass barriers between workstations that were too close to allow distancing. Today St Joe county is still in fifth place - but Elkhart county has passed us and is now third, with 40% more cases than we have, and Cass county has fallen from third to about tenth, having had very few cases since their packing plant was reorganized. The simple things work!

Oh, all those part time researchers. I am waiting for their papers to be published. We should have this thing licked in no time.

Yea, me too but I am not holding my breath on this. Soooooooooo muuuuuuchhhhhh BS and misinformation out there, just look at all crap masks being sold out there ?
It is our own personal responsibility to educate ourselves .
I saw this mess every year in the hospital ERs and patient floors with the yearly flu. Mask wearing was standard along with all the other measures we are hearing about, hand washing etc.

Are you a doctor? if not do not label people as nuts.

That's because they don't have a gun, which is a Brain.

This is an interesting and exciting possibility - or even probability. I'm sure public officials wouldn't want this known far and wide because it would end the panic! Now how would I go about forcing my doctor to actually treat me thusly should I contract the disease?

rehess Loc: South Bend, Indiana, USA

It would not "end the panic" because it is no better than a placebo.
You don't 'force' a doctor to do anything - either s/he follows your wishes or you find another one.

Ok OK OK Jerry, I cannot sit here and have you bring in the Flat Earth into this thread and not stand up and speak out. The Earth is FLAT ! There are clinical trials and case studies ! People orbit the Earth and all they see is a flat Earth as they observe it. They prove this to defend their cash cows and interests, why should they not ?
Watch the video dude.

Funny that the media proper is in NO WAY interested in hearing voices and opinions like this, and will smear anyone who voices such opinion as either anti-science or anti-grandma. As you said, many people who have shared this and other thoughts are speaking anecdotally, but anecdotal is ALL we get from media. In fact, a good chunk of mainstream media isn't only anecdotal, but outright lies.

This video has been removed from Facebook several times, as the media are devoted to squelching any dissent to the "everyone is going to die" narrative. I'm shocked it has survived 4 days on youtube.

No, they repeatedly report which studies pass double-blind tests, and which ones which fail.
In general they ignore anecdotal results.
