Here's a four-minute video that I felt was worth sharing. Government allows drug users to set up camps in public spaces and openly condones behavior that spreads filth and disease on a regular basis. Does the government believe that's somehow virtuous and should not be discouraged? Yet at the same time, the government uses the coronavirus as an excuse to destroy thousands and thousands of small businesses across America? According to the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB), in 2019, the United States had 30.7 million small...
This was an amazing video to take in! Ivermectin is low-cost, available on a global scale - and best of all - it has multiple randomized control trials showing favor on its use against COVID-19.

Now doctors need to follow suit and study the data for themselves....

During the Thursday, January 21 press conference with statewide media, Minnesota Department of Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm stated with a high level of disappointment and even dejection that "there doesn't appear to have been a Christmas surge." Let that sink in for a moment. For nine-plus months, every time Malcolm is forced by reality to report good news, she sounds disappointed. This has happened over and over again, without exception. To me, it is as if a plan they have in place did not play out like they had hoped. I'll repeat myself:...

Vitamin D can influence all three innate immune effectors in the lungs and thus play an important role in how the lung recognizes and responds to pathogens. Activation of the innate immune system drives activation of the long term adaptive immune system. The National Institute of Health has warned that low Vitamin D levels leads to frequent colds and also higher risk from the Influenza virus. Other organizations have released numerous studies on how Vitamin D levels correlate with how a person...
