(Part 2) Pandemic, Plandemic, or Both? (Part 1) The pushback began with Dr. Judy Mikovits.  Note how Wikipedia profiles her (bolding added): "Judy Anne Mikovits (born 1957 or 1958) is a former American research scientist who is known for her discredited medical claims, such as that murine endogenous retroviruses are linked to chronic fatigue syndrome. She has been described as an anti-vaccination activist and a promoter of conspiracy theories, and has been accused of scientific misconduct. She has made several false claims about vaccines, COVID-19, and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)…In 2020, Mikovits promoted conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic via the internet video Plandemic, which made claims that are either false, or not based on scientific evidence."  No bias there. Her video (26 min) was nearing four million views on YouTube when the site's Thought Police pulled it and replaced it with the screen above. You weren't allowed to watch it. BTW, Mikovits is not a fan of the Wizard of SARS, Dr. Tony Fauci.  Now Mikovits has a shorter (10-min) video on YouTube. It's not at the shutdown level, yet. Nor is it as thorough as the initial version.  After Mikovits came Professor Dolores Cahill, an even more formidable contrarian to the approved federal medical meme.  Cahill's a full professor at University College, Dublin, Ireland, in the College of Medicine.  According to her bio on the university site, she is "a world-wide renowned expert in high-throughput proteomics technology development and automation, high content protein arrays and their biomedical applications, including in biomarker discovery and diagnostics." Here is a sample of her achievements:

Professor Dolores Cahill

• "Prof. Cahill pioneered this research area at the Max-Planck-Institute of Molecular Genetics in Berlin, Germany, and holds several international patents in this field with research, biomedicine and diagnostic applications.
• Over 20 years expertise in high-throughput protein & antibody array, automation, proteomics technology development & biomedical applications in biomarker discovery, diagnostics & personalised medicine.
• Since 2005 to present, Full Professor of Translational Science, School of Medicine, University College Dublin, Academic, Researcher, Lecturer, Module Coordinator in Pathology Teaching, School of Medicine & Conway Institute o 15 years as Irish, EU & international expert & advisor including Seconded National Expert to European Commission.
• Company Co-founder & Shareholder (1997-2019) of Protagen AG in Germany ([url=https://protagen.com/]https://protagen.com/[/url]). Protagen Protein Services (2012-2019) contract services to healthcare sector & pharmaceutical industry (https://protagenproteinservices.com/).
• Since 2016, co-founding shareholder and Advisory Board member of Prof. Stephen Pennington's UCD School of Medicine/Conway Institute spin-out company, Atturos Ltd. working to improve Prostate Cancer diagnosis.
• Prof. Cahill has a total of over 5,940 Citations, H (Hirsh)-index of 35, i10-index of 48."

Sharyl Attkisson

The Thought Police had more trouble erasing former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson's video at Full Measure News. She examines the potential benefits of HCQ and suggests financial interests of its detractors may be in play. (She may have left CBS News because Ms. Attkisson is a real, live, actual investigative reporter.)  YouTube pulled her 10 min. video, but then under pressure, reinstated it here. (Watch it while you can.) 

In a turnabout on May 21, legalinsurrection.com posted an article entitled "YouTube Reinstates Video in Which Doctors Say Hydroxychloroquine Treats COVID-19." Soon thereafter, Attkisson was granted an interview with Trump. Next came a legacy of the liberal print media—New York Times paper & magazine – that focused on other HCQ targets. 

Dr. Vladimir Zelenko

April 2: "Touting Virus Cure, 'Simple Country Doctor' Becomes a Right-Wing Star, How Dr. Vladimir Zelenko's claims for his coronavirus treatment spread from a New York village all the way to President Trump" "Last month, residents of Kiryas Joel, a New York village of 35,000 Hasidic Jews, roughly an hour's drive from Manhattan, began hearing about a promising treatment for the coronavirus that had been rippling through their community. The source was Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, 46, a mild-mannered family doctor with offices near the village. Since early March, his clinics had treated people with coronavirus-like symptoms, and he had developed an experimental treatment consisting of an antimalarial medication called hydroxychloroquine, the antibiotic azithromycin and zinc sulfate." "After testing this three-drug cocktail on hundreds of patients, some of whom had only mild or moderate symptoms when they arrived, Dr. Zelenko claimed that 100 percent of them had survived the virus with no hospitalizations and no need for a ventilator. 'I'm seeing tremendous positive results,' he said in a March 21 video, which was addressed to President Trump and eventually posted to YouTube and Facebook." [Note poetic polemic from the Times]"What happened next is a modern pandemic parable that illustrates how the coronavirus is colliding with our fragile information ecosystem: a jumble of facts, falsehoods and viral rumors patched together from Twitter threads and shards of online news, amplified by armchair experts and professional partisans and pumped through the warp-speed accelerator of social media."  In other words, Zelenko is not someone to be taken seriously by the intelligent people who read the Times.   May 12: "He Was a Science Star. Then He Promoted a Questionable Cure for Covid-19. The man behind Trump's favorite unproven treatment has made a great career assailing orthodoxy. His claim of a 100 percent cure rate shocked scientists around the world."

Didier Raoult

The article about Didier Raoult in the NYT Magazine began: "When diagnosing the ills afflicting modern science, an entertainment that, along with the disparagement of his critics and fellow researchers, he counts among his great delights, the eminent French microbiologist Didier Raoult will lightly stroke his beard, lean back in his seat and, with a thin but unmistakable smile, declare the poor patient to be stricken with pride. Raoult, who has achieved international fame since his proposed treatment for Covid-19 was touted as a miracle cure by President Trump, believes that his colleagues fail to see that their ideas are the products of mere intellectual fashions—that they are hypnotized by methodology into believing that they understand what they do not and that they lack the discipline of mind that would permit them to comprehend their error. 'Hubris,' Raoult told me recently, at his institute in Marseille, 'is the most common thing in the world.'" {snip} "Raoult, who founded and directs the research hospital known as the Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire Méditerranée Infection, or IHU, has made a great career assailing orthodoxy, in both word and practice." The tone of the NYT: How dare this French doctor assault what is medical orthodoxy to us in New York, and, thereby, ruin his career! May 21:  But then, suddenly, former Democrat candidate for the Presidency, Senator Amy Klobuchar, admitted that HCQ recently cured her husband of SARS-Cov-2.  The news likely shook the halls of the DNC. May 23: "World-famous medical doctor Dr. Drew Pinsky appeared on Fox 11 Los Angeles to react to President Trump revealing he (Pinsky) is taking the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine to lessen the symptoms of coronavirus." The FOX News local reporter interviewing Pinsky was flabbergasted with what he was hearing.  It's not as though there has been no scholarly research by competent scientists to examine the efficaciousness of HCQ. There has been—since January 28. Here's a long biographical review of findings from then until April 13.  

The overview of them all states: 

"In general, completed clinical studies have yielded promising results regarding the safety and effectiveness of Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine in the TREATMENT of COVID-19…Within the context of an expanding COVID-19 pandemic, it is reasonable to propose the EARLY use of Hydroxychloroquine in attempt to reduce the number of COVID patient hospitalization days, and hence provide an increased rate of patient turnover and a more efficient use of limited hospital ventilators." (caps and underlining in original)

Then, the final opinion:

"Historical controls are used in many previous studies in medicine. In this respect, the safety of Hydroxychloroquine is well documented. When the safe use of this drug is projected against its apparent effect of decreasing the progression of early cases to ventilator use, it is difficult to understand the reluctance of the authorities in charge of U.S. pandemic management to recommend its use in early COVID-19 cases. The effects of the chloroquines were first outlined 15 years ago by the CDC's own Special Pathogens Unit."

So, Where might America be today had these studies been taken seriously by the government doctors? And, who was responsible for seeing that they were not? Breaking News: USA Today, quoted in the Chicago Sun Times, headline reads: "World Health Organization suspends use of hydroxychloroquine in study: 'We want to use hydroxychloroquine if it is safe and efficacious, if it reduces mortality, reduces the length of hospitalization, without increasing the adverse events," said Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, WHO's chief scientist.'"  Next, Part 6: What began as laboratory science morphed into political science. Going forward: Beware of the coming of the "Trackers."
