Cures for COVID-19 already exist, yet within the scientific community doctors who use these cures – and claim out loud to have success with them in something as important as saving lives – are written off as “quacks” peddling conspiracy theories. Then they’re often silenced.

At a summit last month known as America’s Frontline Doctors, a group of medical professionals put their long-standing reputations on the line by claiming in no uncertain terms that COVID has a cure in the form of Hydroxychloroquine, Zinc and Azithromycin (Z-pac). Their video was removed from YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites who placed in their stead Orwellian little messages along the lines of: “This video has been removed for violating Community Guidelines.”

Dr. Simone Gold, one of the doctors in the video, was fired from her job as an emergency room physician, with 20 years of experience, for appearing in it, as if to do so were some egregious crime against humanity.

As an aside, it’s worth noting that SARS-Cov1 and SARS-Cov2 (COVID-19) share 80% similar genetic material. SARS had a higher fatality rate than COVID, but COVID is a more vicious pandemic due to contagion rates as so many people are asymptomatic and spread it without so much as a sniffle. 

SARS proved itself not fit for the human race and died out within a year of its appearance thanks to good hygiene and quarantine rules being placed around it.  In 2005, Dr. Fauci himself touted hydroxychloroquine as an effective inhibitor for SARS and other coronaviruses.

Another doctor who appears in the same video as Dr. Gold is Dr. Dan Erickson, one of the Bakersfield doctors whose own press release to disclose his thoughts about treating the virus was also censored by the Big Tech Inquisition and swiftly removed by YouTube.

The main thrust of his press release that he conducted with his colleague Dr. Artin Massihi back in April, was that “a much higher percentage of people were infected with the virus and showed no symptoms, thus the true danger of the virus may have been greatly exaggerated by the media, and lockdown policies could – through poverty, suicide and stress – potentially cause more damage than they prevent.”

Never a truer word was spoken.
 
In July, Greek-American Professor, Dr. John Ioannidis of Stanford University, whose scientific research has made contributions to evidence-based medicine and epidemiology especially in the study of meta-research in clinical medicine, arrived at the same conclusion as Dr. Erickson. 

Dr. Ioannidis stated that the modellers for predictions in Covid-19 were “astronomically wrong.”  Ioannidis said in July:

“There are already more than 50 studies that have presented results on how many people in different countries and locations have developed antibodies to the virus… of course none of these studies are perfect, but cumulatively they provide useful composite evidence. A very crude estimate might suggest that about 150-300 million or more people have already been infected around the world, far more than the 10 million documented cases.”

Dr Richard Bartlett of Texas has been treating his COVID patients with an asthma medication called Budesonide, which is an anti-inflammatory steroid that can be inhaled straight into the lungs. He claims to have a 100 per cent cure rate, even with patients who have severe underlying medical conditions such as cancer and diabetes.  He calls it the “silver bullet” to kill COVID.  Budesonide is a well known, well-tolerated drug that is also inexpensive.  Dr. Bartlett’s in-depth interview clip was also wiped from YouTube.  Thankfully, a video that was made about the video remains accessible in order to hear Dr. Bartlett explain in his own words his experience in treating and curing COVID patients right across Texas.

An Australian Doctor, Professor Thomas Borody, Medical Director of Australia’s Center for Digestive Disease, claims that he too has a cure for COVID – a parasite treatment called Ivermectin which he uses in conjunction with zinc and the antibiotic Doxycycline.  “It looks like corona is very simple to kill,” said Professor Borody on a Sky News interview.   According to Borody, the drug works as both a prophylactic and a cure which has few to zero side effects. Professor Borody does not understand why the inexpensive drug has not yet been used to treat the second-wave of the virus that is currently the reason for Victoria’s second draconian lockdown.

I wonder how long Professor Borody’s Sky News interview will remain up on YouTube?

This shocking pattern of censorship that doctors are experiencing from the Big Tech Inquisition is anti the very spirit of science itself. Who the hell are these uppity little overlords who choose for us what information we’re allowed to contemplate digesting?

But little is more dejecting than the spectacle of the NZ media’s addiction to panic porn. 

Each day in the COVID-19 Media Conference they direct the attention of people to mindless, silly questions such as these:

“Could you please elaborate on what a lockdown level 1.5 could look like?”

“What are the penalties for businesses which don’t have QR codes displayed prominently?”

“Are any officials going to be going around to make sure these posters are up?”
​
“What do you think about Donald Trump’s comment on the new surge of COVID in New Zealand?”

“Do you think people on Facebook are doing enough to stop the spread of misinformation?” (There’s a fan of the Inquisition right there, along with its biggest fan PM Ardern.)

Rather than this insipid and platitudinous line of “questioning,” they should be gleaning information on behalf of us by peppering our Prime Minister, our Director General of Health and our Health Minister with important questions such as:

“Which medications have you made available to the sick in our country during this pandemic?”

“What groundbreaking new medications do you have your eye on that can help?”

“Does our government have a plan for New Zealanders to achieve herd immunity so our borders can be reopened to the world?”

“Will China continue to be our largest trading partner after unleashing a deadly virus on us?”

“Will repeated lockdowns continue to be your major response every time the virus re-emerges?”

Why is there not any intense curiosity about successful treatments being used in other parts of the world? Why do people prefer instead to have their human rights removed at the same time as remaining incurably addicted to daily panic porn?

I say again that strong evidence exists around the world that COVID-19 is a highly curable virus that may not even need a vaccine to wipe it out.

In an extremely prophetic article on the 8th August titled, “What a Hopeless Bunch of Sheep We Are,” Christie, who writes for the BFD, relayed this anecdote:

“I know someone who came out of quarantine in an Auckland hotel a couple of weeks ago. He had the required tests on Day 3 and Day 12 but was intermingling with people at all stages of their quarantine throughout his stay. Just to clarify, on Day 13, he was intermingling with people who were on Day 2 of their quarantine, and were, so far, untested.

Does that sound like a recipe for community transmission to you? Because it certainly does to me.”

Noting that Ashley Bloomfield was telling us to stock up on masks, though there were no cases of community transmission in New Zealand as he gave that advice, Christie reported that mask manufacturers such as Christchurch company Earth Sea Sky were suddenly receiving a lot of orders to the tune of “120 orders per hour.”

There remains no evidence that face masks prevent the spread of COVID-19, and in other countries, most notably the United States, to-mask or not-to-mask has become a viciously divisive issue to many who consider the practise of covering their natural breathing apparatus with cloth to be intrusive and a personal affront to their individual liberty.  They’ve had to suffer being called “murderers” and “killers” as they go about their daily errands to just live.

During our autumn months, New Zealanders got through a six-week level-4 lockdown without mask-wearing even being a thing, except for those who wanted to wear them.  Suddenly the message encouraging us to wear them in public has become a repetitive mantra through our media machine over the last week alone and the astute amongst us were asking what it was exactly that the government might know that we the public do not.

Then, like a bolt out of the blue, another lockdown was imposed on us yesterday via messages from civil defense blaring through our cell phones. 

One month out from our election, and with her face carefully arranged in that unimpeachably sincere expression we all know so well (talk about face masks!), Jacinda Ardern swanned back onto her familiar COVID platform to enact the messianic psychodrama of “protecting New Zealanders,” while those in the opposition party are busy cancelling their campaign meetings so that the virus doesn’t spread. Cynical? You bet.

In her insightful article, Christie went on to explain:

“But the fact is that the government is doing one of two things. Either they are aware of the significant risk of community transmission through inadequate controls at the border, or they are hoping that the physical wearing of masks by more people will put us all back into a state of fear. This is their election winning strategy; let’s face it, they have no other plan.

But if they have in fact allowed community transmission by improper controls at the border, then they deserve the wrath of the people to fall on them. New Zealanders did what they were told and stayed home, observed good hygiene and physical distancing and eliminated the virus. All the government had to do after that was to control the border. By allowing infected people in quarantine to mingle with non-infected people, they may have failed us. This would hardly be a surprise. They have failed at everything else.”

And there you have it. 

This government’s strategy of addressing the Chinese virus with lockdowns whenever it pops up is nothing more than a strategy for national economic suicide.  It’s utterly untenable – and for those who always respond in a frankly puerile fashion by saying, “Ardern is only doing what all government leaders around the world are also doing,”… remember when we were small children caught doing something stupid or plain wrong by our mothers and we defended ourselves by saying, “But so-and-so did it too!” 

You could always bet on the fact that Mum would parse that with, “And if everyone else jumped off the Harbour Bridge, would you do that too?”

Leaders enforcing lockdowns and forcing business owners to kamikaze their livelihoods over the Chinese virus are doing nothing but the moral equivalent of herding lemming-like humans off a precipice. Where are all the sensible Mums out there to tell us that this is not only profoundly wrong but also damn stupid?

Well, I’m here saying exactly that. 

Obeying lockdowns is no way to live and no way to combat a virus.

We have a much clearer view of the science around this virus than we had back in March, when the whole world panicked – except for the more thoughtful leadership in the countries of Sweden and Taiwan.

PM Ardern is a one-trick little pony, and it was a gig that worked for her once on a reeling population full of sheeple.  But now that the virus is again swilling around in our community after 100 days of being undetected, it’s obvious that it must’ve come through our borders and our government’s crappy quarantine process.  That’s 100% Ardern’s fault, as is the decision to lock us down because of it.

Opposition leader Judith Collins said today that she agreed “lockdown is the right thing to do,” but is concerned that the impact will be devastating. 

Indeed.  Devastating it is, and for that reason alone Judith should have better sense to know and say that lockdown is not the right thing to do.
​
I will only vote for a political leader who is opposed to lockdowns on principle and would encourage my fellow citizens to do likewise.  This is not a matter for compromise over something so alien – and destructive – to our way of life.
