The Militarized and Monetized Response to the Pandemic: A Public Health Crisis
The pandemic response was militarized and monetized instead of focusing on public health. Lockdowns and shutting down society were not recommended by WHO, CDC, EU, and NHS protocols. Early treatment options were suppressed to promote the use of vaccines. Connect and share successful treatment methods among doctors globally wasn't implemented. Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin were effective treatments, but were intentionally hindered due to a federal law prohibiting emergency use authorizations for vaccines if effective treatments existed. Hospitals lacked treatment options, resulting in high mortality rates. Some countries like Nigeria and Haiti had low COVID deaths despite low vaccination rates due to the use of effective treatments against other diseases. Africa had low death rates even with a low vaccination rate. The US had a significantly higher death rate compared to other countries.
