The nakedly political dismissal of hydroxychloroquine during the Covid years is a shameful illustration of destructive forces brought to bear on how medicine is practised in Australia. Now that the panicdemic has receded, that official spurning of an effective medication directly indictments those charged with safeguarding the public good

How thoroughly was hydroxychloroquine's potential as a COVID treatment dismissed and its advocates derided? Well, consider this telling statistic: researchers who did not receive Big Pharma's grants and support found it was an effective treatment in 86% of cases. By contrast, sponsored researchers concluded that only 5% of patients had positive outcomes. Make no mistake, the fix was in

The extraordinary act of registering two relatively ineffective, inadequately tested and obscenely expensive antivirals while refusing to accept the use of cheap, effective repurposed drugs such as ivermectin reflects the new and grim reality for medicine in the COVID era. Clinical decisions being made by medical bureaucrats outside the traditional doctor-patient relationship may well prove to be the most toxic legacy of the Wuhan virus

The “great common” of pandemics, as far back as the Black Death that wiped out one-third of Europe in 1347, is that science postdates narratives—and those narratives create cognitive dissonance and “groupthink” driven by power figures of the day. The difference with COVID-19 is that it did not need to be that way: the science […]

A belated recognition of limitations and concerns with respect to genetic vaccines and the consequent failure to impact public health policies has at last begun to seep into the specialist and mainstream press. Better late than never, as they say, but there is much more to be discussed and addressed

One doesn't need a streak of paranoia to notice that Big Pharma, medical bureaucrats and politicians with an undeserved reverence for 'experts' have dismissed and denounced ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Of all the tragedies associated with the coronavirus, this campaign to suppress cheap and effective early treatments is one of the greatest

While vaccination against COVID-19 confers obvious and substantial benefits in preventing serious illness, booster shots have a complex immunology that means they come with a risk and must be considered with great care. Dr Rochelle Walensky, a physician-scientist who directs the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Dr William Powderly, an infectious diseases […]

COVID vaccines' have failed to achieve what was so lavishly promised in the pandemic's early days, when public health officials and others encouraged the mass media to depict inoculations as the silver bullets that would tame and defeat the virus. It hasn't quite worked out as billed. Robert Clancy, a leading Australian immunologist, explains how and why

Thirty frontline doctors in Australia recently treated over 600 patients with COVID-19. The treatment strategy was ivermectin (IVM) with doxycycline and zinc. Five of the patients required admission to hospital for progressive symptoms. There were no deaths. In a similar number of contemporary Australian patients not treated with IVM, seventy were hospitalised and six died. […]

It seems we are afflicted by a cognitive dissonance which sees policymakers grasp that current vaccines are of limited value -- and may even be counterproductive in the longer term -- while simultaneously demanding an entire nation roll up its sleeves. Follow the money and you'll be led not only to motive but also to the sorry spectacle of a medical culture that has lost the resolute leadership it now so desperately needs
