It was a political effort in the US to suppress the news surrounding HCQ treatment protocol. The effectiveness of early stage treatment was pretty good.
The usefull idiots were primed to chant "but it is not tested on Covid", and they did. A study was done here in the US strangely mostly on patients who were late stage. The study got a lot of news in the media, but the context of what patients had been treated was not headlined. The general public knew nothing more.
Some doctors in the US had treated over 600 patients with none dying. They tried to get the news out, and were largely ignored, except for efforts to pressure their employers to fire them.
Here is the thing, there was nothing in the hands of doctors except ventillators (well so they said at least). But there was a 40 year history of HCQ use all over the world. The stuff is dirt cheap. Ivermectin another component in the treatment protocol also dirt cheap, it would have been easy to divert production for human applications as it is used as a dewormer in animals (no subscription).
And the beauty of it is, the everyone can make it, and it was mostly produced in 3rd world countries. It would have been easy to ramp up production in weeks, maybe months. But that didn't happen.
It was made unavailable by all means necessary. It it still isn't today, not in the US at least.
People died because of politics.

The scientific community disagrees with you.
The published papers on the topic disagree with you.
The metadata analysis' of the papers disagrees with you.
The GLOBAL scientific community has nothing to do with U.S. politics, nor is it subjugated by U.S. politics, or anyone's politics for that matter.
Where your argument fails is if it's produced in 3rd world countries so easily, why not just ignore politics and start producing the stuff en masse and start distributing it to everyone who wants it?
Because the effectiveness is not there.
Go ahead and start producing it yourself. Lay out all that money to build up your production and inventory. When the world actually starts using your version and then fails to re-order because the results just are not there, what are you going to do with your equipment and all that inventory?
Oh, and Trump said he was taking HCQ, STILL GOT COVID, and was still hospitalized and treated for it, and then got vaccinated. How did he get COVID if HCQ was so effective? How did it spread into the Republican community so easily if they were all taking HCQ like they believed Trump did?
Effective? No.

To play the devils advocate - maybe they're not kitted out to handle the more potentially lethal side effects. If they have one of the severe but treatable reactions and someone dies who could have been saved with appropriate medical treatment, well I could understand someone wanting to avoid putting themselves in that situation.
Actually last time I cut myself while gardening I went to a GP to get a Tetanus shot, and the first GP I stopped in at didn't even do Tetanus vaccines because they weren't properly equipped to handle severe allergic reactions.

The handling requirements for some of the new vaccines could be contributory.
I received my shots at a large drug store chain. From the online signup, scheduling logistics, etc. I could see where a practice with a single or just a few physicians might not have the capacity to deliver the new vaccines in a timely fashion. Even good olde flu vaccines have just a few weeks of shelf life.

Wishing you both the best. We are still in hiding.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Thanks for the update.

I'm glad to hear the both of you are recovering Griff. I knew it had become pretty awful for the two of you (I know, understatement of the decade). Take care.

How to find signals for crypto trading?
modified 1-May-21 1:49am.

|

Why couldn't you just Google for "crypto trading signals"?
|
|
|
|
|
As the old saying goes, "stupid is, as stupid does".
|
|
|
|
|
Yep.
The best Crypto Trading Signal I know of is the one saying "don't buy it"...

It's current value states otherwise 
Still, requires patience and a strong stomach. I know someone who bought @13k, sold at 11 and 9k. Now, it does what, 50k?

If it's "current value" doesn't scare you out of buying an massively unstable "currency" then you are an inveterate gambler, rather than an investor - and the chances are you are going to lose a shedload of money!

Not even a bit.

You may want to zoom those charts to show a few years, and you see a very stable trend.

..and I don't need to villify it like that. I don't gamble, and don't own BC. Also, currencies are usually not meant as an investment.
So, if I am neither of those, then what?

I never had a shedload of money to begin with

I assume you mean technical analysis signals. Even if you mean something else, all of this stuff--even macro--is an attempt to predict the future. And it can't be done. People call it forecasting, but prophesying would be far more accurate.
If you find something that works well for a while, it's like a hot streak at the craps table. The danger is that you'll think it's brains, and the size of your bets will increase with your confidence. And then, one day, your account will blow up.
