It does no justice to the  dead or injured in any tragedy, not to ask the hard, post-mortem questions

Early in the pandemic the US, and rest of world, faced a secret fork in the road: 

• TREATMENT & INNATE IMMUNITY BOOST: In recognition of Covid's clear Innate Immunity nature, and Chinese intelligence showing the N protein as the causitive element allowing it to bypass Innate Immunity, boost everyone's Innate Immunity right away with something as easy as a concentrated Vitamin D shot (1 - 3 days to take effect); and  treat each new case with broad-spectrum antiviral RX;  or 

• VACCINE: Pull funding from Treatment and Cure research (above) and prioritize what everyone knew would be a  long-term effort - vaccine development.

Either a broad-range antiviral or Innate Immunity Boost offered 60% efficacy minimum, when deployed individually; and 70%+ projected  efficacy when used together.  As of March 2020, over 27 strong anti-viral candidates were identified. And then just as quickly, blocked for release or use in the US against Covid. Yet looking the flags in the photo above - which all of us in Washington drove or walked by almost every day, our beautiful city turned into morgues and media circus - where are the questions like,

'If US and World leaders knew they had options to achieve 60%  effiicacy immediately (March 2020) - why wasn't that path taken?"  Wouldn't that have saved 4.2 million lives to 5 million lives?

Vaccines are NEVER the first response for any public health emergency - because they ignore the immediate triage need. And to instill that mental model into any nation or world, is dangerous. It puts all control over public health emergency response into the hands of Big Pharma; and prioritizes sales earnings over real efficacy. The financial market for vaccines in a world duped into thinking they are critical, or ordered to use them, is almost infinite: 8 billion humans a year. The market for successful treatment and cure products is quite small: only 1.3% of the world - 106.6 million - were sickened by Covid. And successful treatment would have stopped the global momentum. And probably ended the pandemic sometime in 2020.

Vaccines moreover, were not indicated for Covid - and this early protest by some of us was later born out in pandemic research: children's amazing, natural Innate Immunity to covid is entirely due to broad-range pattern recognition of covid as 'a virus.' And their Innate Immunity kicks in immediately - in their nasal passages - to attack and kill the virus before microbial load can build up enough to give them symptoms. Children did not start to die or become sick from Covid until the Pfizer and Moderna vaccinations.

Now more and more nations are questioning whether the vaccines were the right choice, were ever necessary at all, and whether media simply duped leadership into a profitable ride.

COVID V. PARASITES

Let's face it: 7 million dead out of 8 billion humans is a cause for panic? Parasitic worms - roundworm and tapeworm - kill and injure 1.5 billion humans each year - 1 in 5 humans, compared to 1 in 1,400 for covid! - and smoking and second-hand smoke kills 4 x as many as Covid, but still not as many as parasites.

FDA EARLY EFFICACY RULES WERE WAIVED FOR VACCINES

FDA required only a 50% efficacy to get through EUA and launch a new Covid RX; and the earliest traditional BigPharma products approved by FDA had as little as 8% (Gilead) to 38% (Pfizer).  So WHY were vaccines selected, and then, actually mandated, in so many nations? Was this human nature - panicking and reaching for the familiar in an extreme emergency, despite logic dictating otherwise? It was so frustrating to explain over and over to funding agencies:

 'Look - Covid is an Innate Immunity attacker, and those whom we know BEAT Covid - 100% of children and 99% of all other adults - do so using BROAD-SPECTRUM VIRAL PATTERN RECOGNITION. Like taking an antibiotic for pneumonia or a sinus infection, or an antiworm medication for deadly parasitic worms. It is not required to know what variation of infection is present, only that an infection is present, and the Innate Immune system goes to work.

The vaccines will alter or disable or obstruct this broad-range viral recognition, and substitute back-end, specific strain recognition. WHY would we wish to do this, if so many of us are already immune? That is putting 100% of children, and 99% of adults at risk to allegedly 'save' the 1%. We do not even ban smoking to save those lives, or those killed or suffering due to second-hand smoke. The wiser choice is to simply treat those infected with Covid, and focus funding on a cure."

Secondly, the math just didn't add up, in the case for vaccines: if 99% of all adults and 100% of all children were born naturally immune to Covid, how could Pfizer or Moderna improve on that at all? Let alone credit their vaccines with 'saving' up to 90% of us? How could the vaccines save someone who was already safe? God is a very good designer.

And that profit was a huge driver in the vaccine response is clear from the very minute numbers of actual Covid victims and deaths. 7 million of 8 billion people.

*Our CEO has contracted Covid twice - both times due to crowded, unsanitary conditions and exposure in Montgomery County, MD. Had she never entered Montgomery County but stayed in the District, NW Washington, both times, she probably would have been fine. Maryland lacks the regulatory controls and strict sanitation requirements that the District maintains. And the people as a whole, in Maryland, are not nearly as health and fitness-focused as in the District, or other higher-educated venues; and are often fat and often smoke. Being in an unhealthy, unclean environment, causes Covid. 

So do parasites, which Montgomery County has in abundance - water, air, and soil. The District uses a different water company and has much higher standards for indoor air quality (actually, Maryland has no standards) and radon.  Just setting foot in Maryland, due to the different demographics and lack of county or state oversight, seems enough to make anyone with challenged immune system, sick or fatally injured. And there is no vaccine for lack of cleanliness. Or microbial or parasitic spread, due to lack of discpline or governance.
