From Dr. Meryl Nass:
I commented on a lie in the [Washington Post] article yesterday that slurred HCQ. I am a subscriber. I used their comment form.
When my comment shows up on the page, they simply changed the right hand margin of the page, cutting off several letters from each line when you try to read it.
But when I copy it, the whole letter comes through. None of the other comments have this problem.

This Washington Post article takes yet another swipe at the use of hydroxychloroquine, claiming that it has been shown in “rigorous clinical trials” to be ineffective and to be unsafe, citing a May 22 WaPo article about an infamous Lancet study as the evidence.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/05/22/hydroxychloroquine-coronavirus-study/
However, within 2 weeks that study was exposed as a total fabrication, according to the Lancet editor, and was retracted.
The “rigorous (multicenter) clinical trials” people like to cite included Recovery in the UK and WHO’s Solidarity trials, which is taking place in about 20 countries. Both of them used hydroxychloroquine doses 3-4 times normal. Yet it was well known that these were toxic and potentially fatal doses, especially in patients who were small and slender. So it was no surprise that 25.7% of the subjects given hydroxychloroquine in the Recovery trial died. The WHO has not published the mortality rates for its hydroxychloroquine trial arm.
Many other trials and observational studies show the drug to be highly effective for Covid-19, especially when used early, and with zinc, a macrolide or a tetracycline. Recent papers by respected US physicians, such as this one in the American Journal of Medicine

The Post can do a lot better than citing retracted fabrications to besmirch the usefulness of hydroxychloroquine.
From Ian Jenkins (on Facebook):
“No single group of people have called out more vociferously for intensified lockdowns than the organisations, academics and media figures of the mainstream left. Regardless of any evidence of the total ineffectiveness of lockdowns or of the clear evidence of the huge collateral damage being caused to the most vulnerable in our societies they have pressed on, abusing anyone who contradicts them as “granny killers”, right-wingers or lunatics.
They have failed to see that the economic damage has not been done to huge corporations and billionaires, who have made out like bandits and advanced their cause no end, but rather to small businesses and the self employed. They have failed to differentiate between these two, reducing it all to a moronic and false opposition between lives and economy. We’ll see what happens to health in a depression with elevated unemployment over the next few years.
They have failed to acknowledge the human cost of isolation – especially to children and the elderly – and perhaps worst of all they have shown themselves to be utterly unconcerned with individual rights or even the opinions and wishes of those they purport to want to protect. There was no consideration that the elderly or vulnerable with mental capacity might want to make their own decision based on full information – as the medical rules on informed consent require.
They have also energetically defended the agendas of excessively influential oligarchic figures like Bill Gates or those at the World Economic Forum, dismissing anyone who examines or criticises their insane technocratic authoritarianism as a ‘conspiracy theorist’.
They can’t even look at the insanely disproportionate and oppressive restrictions and police state activity imposed by the governments of New Zealand and Victoria in Australia and voice any coherent criticism. In fact they often express admiration for Jacinda Ardern and Daniel Andrews.
In short some have shown themselves to be dogmatic, irrational, self-contradictory, intolerant, callous and authoritarian – all wrapped up in a package of self-righteous, sentimental rhetoric. I’m done with them. I don’t have the energy to respond to them any more.
I do NOT think that is true of all people on the left, some have opposed this lunacy and some are acting on good intentions and think they are doing the right thing. They tend to be victims of groupthink and need to step away from the organisations they may be part of, stop repeating slogans, read more widely and look at the facts.
Does that mean I ‘support the right’, or the Tories or Trump? Hell no. I’m also done with those ludicrous fallacies of composition – together with the ad hominems, false dichotomies, straw man arguments and other nonsensical insults and labels that they throw out without either justification or, often, without any real understanding of the terms they are employing.
I’m still a socialist, but I’m a libertarian socialist. I’m done with empty slogans and groupthink. I’m done with political parties and oligarch-funded fake protest movements. I’ll work with anyone who voluntarily and collectively wants to make things better for ordinary people – particularly at a local level – but I fail to see how any of the behaviours and attitudes I have witnessed from the left, and described briefly and only in part here, will do that.
Believe me, it give me no pleasure to state any of that, but there it is.
If you want to block or ‘unfriend’ me, good – we probably have little left to say to each other until you can regain your capacity for reason and start to examine actual evidence.
Enough!”
We have the propaganda myth of “Russia-gate”—a groundless drive joined avidly by some in the Election Integrity movement—to thank for this.
A population of 2 million people, with a “COVID-19 death” rate of (as far as I’ve been able to determine) one, and, Gaza’s rulers have announced, four “cases”just discovered in one family.
Those people are in agony, due wholly to the lockdown there—for which they blame the Gaza Governorate, a subsection of the Palestinian Authority, which, the people sensibly suspect, was paid to lock them down.
You’d think that all those people crammed together would be dropping like flies, what with the infectiousness of “the coronavirus.” They’re not. They’re dying slowly, from the grotesque conditions of their reinforced incarceration.
With 1,101 “COVID deaths” out of 9,152,000 million people—a death rate of 0.01 percent.

A brilliant explication of the dark continuum between 9/11 and the COVID-19 crisis.
I think it’s far superior to Pepe Escobar’s piece, which I sent out yesterday, and which prompted this caveat from Barbara Deutsch, who, though she appreciated it, added this:
I am puzzled and disturbed that while Escobar does credit Architents and Engineers for their work, he does not mention the larger effort at discovery and disclosure of the truth, in which A&E for 911 Truth play so exceptionally important a role. Worse, in emphasizing how he has from 2001 on raised questions (some of them, he says, not yet answered), and in citing a few book titles, Escobar doesn’t cite a single one by David Ray Griffin; and he gives no indication that he’s aware of the extraordinary International Review Panel David Ray Griffin and Elizabeth Woodworth assembled, and participated in, leading to their book 9/11 Unmasked.
I wish someone would call Escobar on this. To claim credit for his own questioning, while omitting any reference to those authors, the Review Panel, and to the years of careful, conscientious, collaborative effort to assemble and examine questions and to come as near to answers as possible: this shocked me, I see it as inexcusable—reprehensible, really — on Escobar’s part.
From Ellen Brown:
Here’s a very informative bunch of articles from Peter Myers, attached, including reports on the hazards of the three vaccine frontrunners, and the success of HCQ in a giant Mumbai slum.
(0) Lockdowns vs. opening the economy
(1) Robert F Kennedy Jr in Berlin
(2) All six monkeys injected with AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine became infected with COVID-19
(3) Moderna’s mRNA1273, and Pfizer’s BNT162b1 and b2 vaccines, contain Polyethylene Glycol
(4) “The same tech companies profiting from the quarantine are censoring criticisms of It,” by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
(5) Sweden coronavirus cases and deaths slow to a trickle
(6) India’s biggest and densest slum, Dharavi in Mumbai, contained COVID-19 with HCQ/vitamin D/Zinc
(7) COVID-19 second wave hits Europe, but they return to work and travel; hospitals no longer overwhelmed
(8) Hospitalizations and death rates are nowhere near the level they were the first time
Here’s a piece I sent out three years ago, about HuffPost’s censorship of Pete Tucker’s defense of RFK, Jr. against the charge that he’s “anti vaccine.” The piece went up on HuffPost, then came right down again.
The censorship we’re fighting now has been ongoing for years, but now has reached the crisis-point, as the Big Pharma/Gates/CDC/WHO attack on those who tell the truth has burst into explicit cyber-war, entailing Oceanic censorship and rabid slander.
Both those tactics prove that that cabal, and its innumerable foot soldiers, have no arguments or evidence to prove their “case.” Anyone who comes at you with smears and ridicule has thereby proved that s/he’s an agent, who doesn’t know what s/he’s talking about, and is relying on a script.
