Tom Feeley, I can’t believe the number of dumbasses that frequent this forum nowadays.

America/Trump is running on CHLOROQUINE side effects: agitation, aggressiveness and outbursts of violence, amnesia, confusion, depression, hallucinations, disorientation, ideas of persecution, personality changes, loss of interest, feeling sad, suicidal ideas, mania and shown clearly on twitter.com, uncontrolled, unwanted movements including tongue and face twittering ;-) To counter these side effects Trump is acting very stupidly, like trying to secure something they don't need at 5000 times the price.

Koch Postulates is it is about bacteria. For all their lingering influence, Koch's postulates never anticipated the era of the human metagenome in which thousands of difficult or impossible-to-culture species of bacteria contribute to a single disease state. Koch's century-old ideas have held science back from understanding how chronic disease occurs because they make no provision for these facts.

Remdesivir does not work for Covid-19. Remdesivir was developed by Gilead pharmaceuticals in 2009. The 5 day treatment consists of IV injections, for a total cost of US$2,340 per patient, who must go to a medical facility for the IV injections. It has multiple side effects, many of which often appear during the injections. The minimum production cost for Remdesivir is estimated at US$0.93 per day of treatment; i.e. about US$5.00 per patient total cost for 5 days; while Gilead charges US$2,340 per patient. We bought all the Gilead stock of 500,000 doses for a price of US$1.6 billion, for a drug that does not work against Covid-19. This is a financially criminal buddy-system insider scam.

Remdesivir is NOT owned by Gilead- it can easily be made as a generic drug, and if the USA is stupid and greedy enough to rely on such a firm instead of sharing real information about effective treatments it deserves to have many more corpses.

"A serious imbalance in covid-19 research strongly favors....drug treatments over non-drug interventions." This is true for most illnesses because pills generate profits and because pills seem like magic. As with COVID-19, most health issues are cured by one's own immune system. The most useful drug that I've heard about for treating COVID-19 is dexamethasone. It is a steroid that prevents over-reaction by one's own immune system.

Remdesivir does not work; the Chinese, the French, the Spanish, the Italians, among others tried it and stopped, all trials using it flopped. This is another scandal religiously influenced; it is sufficient to check who owns Gilead Pharmaceutical, and then ask Jared Kushner and maybe Sheldon Adelson, if they had any role in telling Trump to buy all the Remdesivir stock at $3,200 per patient. Pure criminality. I am absolutely confident that no more than a very small percentage of Remdesivir will be tried, then quickly stopped because of no effect against Covid-19; and the rest of most of the $1.6 billion will be pocketed again by those thieves at Gilead.

KOCH’S POSTULATES While I admit there are some other ways on how to scientifically isolate a pathogen, I agree with myriads of scientists who say that “The Koch’s Postulates” invented by a great German physician by names of Robert Hermann Koch in 1884, he who had his invention published in 1890 is by far the greatest way to isolate a pathogen. That said, you can tell it’s credible enough as it’s been in existence for a century plus. For those of you with no idea regarding how that works I’ll briefly explain: Four criteria that were established by Robert Koch to identify the causative agent of a particular disease, these include: 🔴The microorganism or other pathogen must be present in all cases of the disease 🔴The pathogen can be isolated from the diseased host and grown in pure culture 🔴The pathogen from the pure culture must cause the disease when inoculated into a healthy, susceptible laboratory animal 🔴The pathogen must be reisolated from the new host and shown to be the same as the originally inoculated pathogen (You have to perform those four tasks before classifying and naming a causative agent of a particular disease)👌👌👌 So, Bill Gates, Fauci, and their evil cronies just woke up and convinced the entire world that there’s a deadly virus ravaging the planet minus isolating the virus. Isn’t that fraud—People? That’s the very reason why there’s no accurate testing kit to test the so called Covid-19, simply because it’s never been scientifically isolated. They’re simply testing using a “PCR” test, the very same testing kit that it’s own inventor criticized for testing infectious viruses🤔🤔🤔 So many great scientists around the world have raised their voices regarding the fraud behind this virus but instead are highly censored. So sad that people instead trust journalists from fake mainstream media who report from fake Doctors like Fauci😡😡😡 Bottom Line: Conduct your own research before inhaling all the mendacity scudding around the world from fake mainstream media. And Finally, WAKE ME UP IF BILL GATES AND HIS BUNCH OF PSYCHOPATHS EVER ISOLATE THE SO CALLED COVID-19 USING THE KOCH’S POSTULATES🤣🤣🤣 Image may contain: text that says 'HOW CAN WE FALL FOR A VIRUS NEVER BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY ISOLATED? THAT SAID, HOW ACCURATE ARE THE TESTING KITS???'

no one dies from a virus,no one. in spite of the hoopla over the seasonal flu given a name. viruses do not kill. underlying illnesses kill and use of multiple big pharma drugs accumulated in the body for underlying illnesses.

more theft from the people. no drugs are needed for the flu. fauci is profiting some way , you can be sure of it. he is a leech and has no right to be head of anything. prison for him and his ilk. the flu passes naturally when the body heals itself.

This seems to be part of Mr Trump campaign for the next US elections... How else could he invest on his campaign with the continuous boycott of the neolilberal democratas/Deep State??? No, he is NOT using financial profit OVER lives; he is using a dollar that is worthless except for making more wars abroad TO SAVE US LIVES!!!! He is right for doing so.
