For a long time, there appeared to be no protocols.  If you got covid, you treated it like the flu, and hoped it didn't progress to where you were hospitalized.

The only "protocol" I saw at the time was the Zelenko protocol which called for the following (AI summary since I forgot) but it never got to the mainstream:

Monoclonial antibodies were tough to get, then were gone (I know becuase I tried).

I know you believe differently, but it just appears that there is a ton of real time doctor's testimony that hitting this early with a bunch of things limited hospitializations....but in summary, it does not appear to be a legitimate reason to prohibit the use of ivermectin, let alone vilify doctors, fire them etc......

I don't necessarily disagree with your position, I was more so answering questions in the role of the medical community as an institution per se. I am a contrarian by nature so I will generally take the opposing position of others simply to argue/learn/debate/discuss.

There is definitely a place for intuition in medicine but there are reasonable arguments for not using it and it was studied. I just don't like the idea or subscribe to the idea that there is a cabal blocking this effective medication. It's conspiracy theory stuff.

I think you SEVERELY underestimate the influence and power of the American pharma industry to suppress information that would impact their income and control.

But they loose money like crazy on drugs that just don't work after research. I realize there is politics but I think you are overestimating it.

Thank you for actually participating, Wes!

I had to think for a bit about what you were referencing. Then I remembered you're talking about that wager. I guess that was an exciting milestone in your exciting internet life.

Classic case of dissociative amnesia

Are you still in therapy due to the trauma?  Maybe you should boycott GB for a while to cope

In the future surgery might be more affordable but home much is the initial investment in an AI robot? Those costs are going to factor in immediately. Also who will have health care if no one is working or paying taxes? So people won’t be having surgery. They will die younger. And the robots will repair themselves.

If AI goes the way Musk thinks it will them every country on earth will be run under communism

the masses will live on benefits provided by around 50 people who control all the worlds technology and resources.

Either that or they will be ousted and strung up in a revolution.
