In a recent interview on Fox News (posted below), Bill Gates stated that “It is fair to say that things won’t go back to truly normal until we have a vaccine that we’ve gotten out to basically the entire world.” It’s no secret that Gates is a huge supporter of vaccines, and is a major player when it comes to developing them. When it comes to the new coronavirus vaccine specifically, he is set to spend billions of dollars to help develop the vaccine, which already seems to be making its way to the public quite fast.
Multiple companies have started clinical trials and testing of potential vaccines for the new coronavirus. Forbes is reporting that the second phase of human trials for a new vaccine from Moderna may start this spring. Moderna’s cofounder and chairman Noubar Afeyan told CNBC that, while it’s challenging to put a timetable on the vaccine’s progress, “We expect [phase two trials] to happen in the spring, perhaps early summer.”
Right now, within the mainstream at least, shining a spotlight on coronavirus vaccines seems to be a priority. But it’s not the only solution that’s been grabbing attention. Other potentials like drugs, and short-term therapies that patients need right now seem to be showing some promise.
For example, Medicine in Drug Discovery, of Elsevier, a major scientific publishing house, recently published an article on early and high-dose IVC in the treatment and prevention of Covid-19. The article was written by Dr. Richard Cheng, MD, PhD, a US board-certified anti-aging specialist, from Shanghai, China. Dr. Cheng served in the United States Army as a commissioned officer (Major) and an Army physician. In the article, he points out how “High-dose intravenous VC has also been successfully used in the treatment of 50 moderate to severe COVID-19 patients in China.” Dr. Cheng has been updating everyone via his YouTube channel about vitamin C treatment cases out of China.
According to a recent article by the New York Post, who has also picked up on the topic, “Seriously sick coronavirus patients in New York state’s largest hospital system are being given massive doses of vitamin C.”
Dr. Anthony Cardillo, an ER specialist and the CEO of Mend Urgent Care, has been prescribing a zinc and hydroxychloroquine combination on patients experiencing severe symptoms associated with COVID-19. In an interview with KABC-TV, Cardillo stated:
“Every patient I’ve prescribed it to has been very, very ill and within 8 to 12 hours, they were basically symptom-free, […] So, clinically I am seeing a resolution.”
Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a board-certified family practitioner in New York, said in a video interview that a cocktail of Hydroxychloroquine, Zinc Sulfate and Azithromycin are showing phenomenon results with 900 coronavirus patients treated. (source)
In New Jersey, Physicians have called for more autonomy with Hydroxychloroquine treatment for COVID-19, and In France, a large study indicates combination of Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin to be effective in treating COVID-19. (source)
On March 22, The New York Times reported that there are at least 69 existing drugs or compounds that might be effective in treating the coronavirus.
Mainstream media seems to be debunking the idea that Hydroxychloroquine can help at all. Here’s an example from CNN.
So, as you can see, this kind of information is making its way around the world, so why aren’t these being explored as much as a vaccine? Why does a vaccine seem to be the only solution in this case? These are important questions to ask yourself.
Are People Going To Take The Vaccine?
In the Youtube video above by Fox News, there were approximately 6000 likes, and 9000 dislikes. This is a great example that shows just how hesitant people have become when it comes to trusting big pharmaceutical companies and the vaccines they manufacture. In an article I recently published titled, “Updates on the New Coronavirus Vaccine – Are You Going To Take It? Will It Be Mandatory?” the majority of the comments simply stated “no” after we posted it on Facebook.
Again, this highlights just how much vaccine hesitancy has grown, especially over the past few years. According to organizations like the American Medical Association and the World Health Organization, vaccine hesitancy is one of the biggest threats to global health. Some high-profile speakers at the World Health Organization’s recent Global Vaccine Safety Summit also highlighted the fact that scientists and doctors are now skeptical about vaccines. This is discussed in the introduction of this study (one of many) published in the journal EbioMedicine:
Over the past two decades several vaccine controversies have emerged in various countries, including France, inducing worries about severe adverse effects and eroding confidence in health authorities, experts, and science (Larson et al., 2011). These two dimensions are at the core of the vaccine hesitancy (VH) observed in the general population. VH is defined as delay in acceptance of vaccination, or refusal, or even acceptance with doubts about its safety and benefits, with all these behaviors and attitudes varying according to context, vaccine, and personal profile, despite the availability of vaccine services (Group, 2014,Larson et al., 2014, Dubé et al., 2013). VH presents a challenge to physicians who must address their patients’ concerns about vaccines and ensure satisfactory vaccination coverage.
This fact was also echoed by Professor Heidi Larson, a Professor of Anthropology and the Risk and Decision Scientist Director at the Vaccine Confidence Project. She is referenced by the authors in the study above. At the WHO conference, she emphasized that safety concerns among people and health professionals seem to be the biggest issue regarding vaccine hesitancy.
The other thing that’s a trend, and an issue, is not just confidence in providers but confidence of health care providers, we have a very wobbly health professional frontline that is starting to question vaccines and the safety of vaccines. That’s a huge problem, because to this day any study I’ve seen–and we’re constantly looking at any studies in this space–still, the most trusted person on any study I’ve seen globally is the health care provider.
It’s important to ask why people, scientists and physicians are increasingly questioning vaccine safety. Mainstream media labels people and in some cases, science, as “anti-vax.” It is rare to see the concerns being raised with vaccines addressed and discussed, and refuted. Again, all there seems to be is ridicule and hate. At the end of the day, you would think questioning vaccine safety is simply in the best interests of everybody, and that ridicule and making people feel stupid for questioning vaccine safety wouldn’t be a strategy. It just doesn’t seem right, the number of scientists and physicians questioning vaccine safety is growing, these people clearly aren’t stupid.
Scientists and doctors who are creating awareness and explaining why they don’t believe vaccines should be mandatory, or are as safe as they’re marketed to be, receive a large amount of pushback and censorship. Platforms like Collective Evolution are having their social media platform distribution and reach completely cut. Physicians for Informed Consent is another one of many examples. Because of all of the attacks and censorship of our ability to discuss vaccine safety concerns, the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons are suing Rep. Adam Schiff for “censoring vaccine debate.” You can read more about that here.
At the end of the day, we have to ask ourselves why is all of this happening? If everything was so cut and dry, and black and white, would all of this be manifesting? People are not stupid, and it’s very odd that ‘the powers that be’ continue to ridicule those who are raising concerns about vaccine safety if there were no concerns to be raised Ridicule is never the answer, discussion is.
