I worked with researchers in this space - virology + combatting future pandemics - in the decade before the pandemic. The one fact that the last 5 years never readily disclosed is that the core ideology of this community of researchers was

The new article cited states that in the 1432 people who took part of the trial the folks that took ivermectin recovered one day faster than the folks who did not (11 vs 12 days). Thus there is a small effect seen that is indeed suggestive

This piece leverages a very arrogant and dismissive tone and does not cast the journal that it represents in a very positive light. Regardless of your point of view on this topic, this piece fails to highlight the implicit bias that has bee

The disappointing thing that no one talks about is that all of the vaccines target the spike, which is the part of the virus that evolves most quickly (the spike is also an immunotoxin). Alternatively, vaccines could have targeted the nucle

This comment appears to be an ad hominem attack. Is there anything written in the article that is incorrect or problematic? It would seem that the Centers for Disease Control literally and very publicly failed to perform its core mission (c

As our diagnostic capabilities grow beyond their current primitive state, we will discover that the vast majority of these cases are persistent infections either directly or indirectly causing symptoms.

These 'long' illnesses are simply persistent infections where the virus in question has evaded the immune system and taken up residence in one or more tissues. Clear the virus and the individual recovers.

This article does not cast itself in a strong light by immediately calling the lab leak hypothesis a conspiracy theory. The lab leak hypothesis is another valid and plausible theory that could explain the origins of the pandemic. One must q

Longcovid is a persistent infection of the SARS-Cov2 virus. It is not psychosomatic. Most of the symptoms can be explained by vascular inflammation and vascular damage in the various affected tissues throughout the body. SARS and MERs survi

Long COVID is a persistent infection of the SARS-Cov2 virus. All such persistent viral infections, think HIV or hepatitis, are treated with long courses of one or more antivirals.

I've come to the same conclusion about long COVID in April May of 2020. The evidence is shockingly overwhelming and has been grossly ignored. Some of us have found cocktails that work. Would love to discuss if you are interested.

My suggestion is that we should all be streaming bogus ad data to wherever the Smart TVs are trying to transmit our personal information. If we can't stop the TV for monitoring us, we can at least make the data less valuable and even n

Go to pubmed, which is free, search for "ivermectin + antiviral" and look for any article before 2020.

There is a lot of research showing that ivermectin has broad effectiveness against a number of viruses long before the pandemic and including SARS and MERS. There is also strong research (published in Nature) that shows ivermectin to be hig

Two comments that I would like to make about this and a quick preface. As a preface, I was in the world of DARPA funded research projects. My last effort before leaving this career more than a decade ago was a project where we were predicti

Imagine how different the global response might have been to COVID if, at the beginning of the pandemic, we entertained even the possibility that this virus had been engineered or enhanced to better spread and/or infect humans? I perso

This is an incorrect interpretation of this paper. It is comparing COVID positive to assumed COVID non-positive. Also, the methodology is deeply flawed as they took the first 1000 folks to respond. This is an incredibly biased approach, aki

I recommend that you read up on the history of the last large scale viral infection that greatly impacted society - HIV - and how slowly the medical community accepted the illness and the gaslighting that happened to patients.

It is well known that psychological distress can weaken the immune system making individuals less able to clear a novel virus.

LongCOVID is a persistent viral infection. Most RNA viruses that afflict humans are persistent (like Hepatitis). Right now, zero dollars are being invested in developing the diagnostics required to detect the virus. Thus, an irrefutable tes

I love the quote in this discussions about finding unicorns next to the unicorn factory. In addition to that argument, I find the following points in support of the lab leak hard to refute. Biologically - (1) The earliest available copies o

Countless studies have shown that SARS-CoV2 can infect systemically and not just the lungs. The SARS-CoV2 virus has been found in virtually every organ and the first autopsy studies in 2020 demonstrated this. It is horrifying that the perso

The spike of the virus was always a bad target and that was known at the beginning. Some have posited that it was an "easier" target for which to create a vaccine but I have not seen compelling evidence why. Others have suggested

This statement is misleading. There are dozens of papers that show the corona virus alive and well in a large variety of tissues months and even years beyond the initial acute infection. Here is but one such paper - https://link.

I love the discussion on the statistical power of the findings and the appropriate interpretation of those numbers. However, there is a much larger problematic aspect to this paper that is subtle but critical and is being overlooked in this

You can look at China's actions and attempt to explain them as a regime testing the bounds of control that can be exerted over its population. You can also look at China's Zero Covid policy from the lens that they know something a
