I'm sympathetic to your overall thesis, but your point #3, early treatment, gives me pause. If this could work so well, then why hasn't it been done anywhere else in the world? Please don't cite "some African country" or other third world place with utterly inadequate record-keeping or public health system. Only middle-income countries and up.
I get why politicians in the USA, likely on both sides, are utterly captured by Pfizer, et al. But politicians in Mexico? Japan? Indonesia? Turkey? Great Britain? Why doesn't such a plan work anywhere?
I read the Scott Alexander (slate star codex) analysis on Ivermectin; seems about right. Works where it's killing parasites in folks who also have covid. I should add that I had covid in July (in Mexico, though I'm an American), and my doctor somewhat reluctantly prescribed me Ivermectin, which is in reasonably wide use here. Though one anecdote doesn't make a study, I'd say that I felt no effect whatsoever from the ivermectin. This is in contrast to immediately feeling when an antibiotic kicks in against a bacterial infection.
So, I'm all for early treatment, and I don't have any trouble believing that the US establishment is utterly captured by Big Pharma. But I'd also say that point #3 may well be a pipe dream for now. I wish I didn't believe this, but you need some stronger evidence.
You described me perfectly. I've never voted for a Republican before, but Youngkin and every other Republican on my Virginia ballot got my vote based solely on the covid1984 craziness.
I represent the former 'always democrat' voter now who will only vote Republican because of this issue. This is my hill and I AM NOT ALONE. I will never vote for the Dems again after this covid fiasco. It's obvious who is in bed with Pharma and China. It's the only issue I can about and the only one that will get me to the polls now....MEDICAL FREEDOM.
I think the issue goes beyond medical tyranny. The plan is to assign social credit based on all ideological aspects that determine conformity to totalitarianisms, just as being practiced in China. Unfortunately, I don't see republicans demonstrating an appreciation of the big picture. Our single-issue voting tendencies have been highjacked by both parties just to get votes and promptly forget the issue and return to their corporate pandering. We need independent candidates who speak to the big picture......!
I think you underestimate the number of single-issue medical freedom voters. Think of all the moms whose children have been masked and quarantined for a year and a half. They are furious.
To this day Trump is still going around patting himself on the back for the vaccine disaster his administration created. Yeah, I still think he's the funniest president of all time, but when I voted in my election here in Canada, I was a single issue voter and voted against the ONLY party who opposed vaccine passports. Too many Trump cultists still believe he's got their backs.
Wokeism drove me to the right, and then the "vaccines" drove me straight into the medical freedom voting block. I was welcomed with open arms by all of you. I didn't even have to recant or repent. Maybe Republicans have gotten lazy because the other side is actually doing their work for them? The "what my opponent is saying is so absurd that I'm just going to take a nap and hope he keeps talking" style of governance?
Anyway, hope they wake up long enough to read your missive!
You have high hopes that history tends to suggest are wildly unrealistic. Republicans are, with only a few principled exceptions, go-along-to-get-along Stockholm-syndrome captured losers.
Even Dan Crenshaw voted for the massive expansion of big government in the form of a centralized “vaccine database”, the very thing that’s at the heart of this whole fraud.
How many in Congress actually made any effort to support Trump, flawed as he may have been, who was only the second president in my 60 years of memory to actually advocate for American citizens against the now-obvious deep state?
Forget about Republicans, at least federally. We’re on our own. The only hope is at state and local levels. The national fissure is forming. Will it result in a break-up of the republic? It’s hard to see any other future.
Still one of my favorite articles. Thank you so much for being so brilliant

So true! I wish an israeli had written this.

I feel seen!!
Curious if you follow @undercovervirologist and the claims that these "viruses" are not real at all. There are very compelling arguments.

Thank you.

Biden also promised no mandates. That promise sure didn't last very long.

Point is... my vote is for sale to the highest principled deliverer not the lowest principled promiser and deceiver.
