Some real talk about Lockdowns

Opens March 4th 2021 from Colorado on freedom and why he hates governments, saying US coronavirus policy has become partisan with no science or medical rigor behind the FDA.

After tweeting about Texas reopening and being called anti-science, there are five safe and effective vaccine platforms but only three in the US, Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson, not Novavax or AstraZeneca.

AstraZeneca, given to millions in the UK, EU, and India, is at least as safe and effective, but the FDA waits for the US clinical trial despite having 10 times as much data.

AstraZeneca costs 3.50 versus Pfizer's 30 dollars a dose, and Novavax completed a phase 3 trial in South Africa and the UK at 89 percent efficacy against variants, a protein subunit vaccine likely the safest and cheapest, with the Serum Institute of India set to make billions of doses, yet delayed to May or June.

There is zero plan to vaccinate the bottom 4 billion, so coronavirus will percolate and return with new variants every year for at least a decade, like polio or smallpox, meaning the lockdowns never end.

All five CEOs are already working on boosters but there is no coordinated genomic surveillance, and cites virologist Florian Krammer's peer-reviewed Cell paper proposing pre-building vaccines for the top 100 pandemic threats to cut response to four months.

A Taiwan-style approach could prevent global pandemics but gets zero funding despite costing less than an F-22 or aircraft carrier, with no federal subsidy for domestic PPE manufacturing or better positive-pressure masks.

Vitamin D is not given to the deficient despite overwhelming evidence on mortality, and ivermectin, a cheap FDA-approved drug pulmonologists begged Congress to study, is ignored in favor of the expensive Remdesivir that failed as an Ebola orphan drug.

Cites CDC data that 92 percent of coronavirus deaths are over age 55, so once those people are isolated or vaccinated, continuing lockdowns is devastating through economic ruin, suicide spikes, untreated cancer, and domestic violence.

Lockdowns are not free and the damage becomes irreversible, with Plexiglas between students traumatizing a generation and the elderly avoiding even vaccinated people as if exposure is death.

Asks what the goalposts are, since a 70 percent target resets when a new strain appears, killing movie theaters, nightclubs, and bars forever, mocking Ontario's health minister advising sex with a mask on.

Applauds Texas for reopening since the vulnerable have a way out with the Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer, and Moderna vaccines, and asks why Johnson and Johnson promised pre-made doses but delivered only 4 million instead of 100 million.

The public misunderstands vaccines, which prevent hospitalization and serious illness not infection, and no trial ran a concurrent single-shot cohort that would have doubled available supply.

Asks why trials did not verify sterilizing immunity via pharyngeal swabs, since spreading the virus post-vaccine makes you an asymptomatic super-spreader relevant to travel.

Asks why the vaccines were not nationalized under the Defense Production Act and open-sourced, since the US did not even shut the whole country down for World War II or the Civil War.

Calls it an issue of authoritarianism versus freedom, not medicine, with over a year of data, treatments, and vaccines but no coordinated international response, warning that waiting means 10 years.

Physicians privately and sometimes publicly admit it is political not medical but fear losing licenses or censorship, which is how an authoritarian government enforces orthodoxy.

Proposes as a thought experiment vaccinating Hawaii first as a model island marketplace to measure mortality and reopen, but says leaders never did it because they are not interested in the answer, only control.

Warns of China's Sharp Eyes surveillance and social credit that billions will live under, admired by free-world leaders who let no crisis go to waste, so a free society must push back.

He has never been given real goalposts, only ephemeral ones, and insists he does listen to scientists, pointing to MIT lectures, books by MD-PhDs, and Vincent Racaniello's This Week in Virology podcast that no one heeds.

You cannot stop people dying from respiratory viruses, and he is tired of seeing his community devastated, calling this a hill worth dying on since it affects travel and whether people fear you like a leper.

Hopes for a reckoning at the ballot box and in the courts over corruption, asking why a company that never shipped a product got a 1.6 billion dollar contract after nearly failing in 2019, and who profited from Novavax's 3000 percent stock jump.

Reinfections and variants are mostly mild but the media runs fear porn 24/7, while no one counts the deaths in India, Africa, and Southeast Asia from the economic calamity, adding that masks were never his issue since he once cleaned operating rooms for eight hours a day.

Demands society spend wisely to prevent recurrence rather than debate impeachment or voter fraud, noting 100 million doses were promised but 4 delivered, vitamin D is not recommended, and the 536 volcanic winter caused vitamin D deficiency before a pandemic, urging people to think for themselves.
