Carpe Diem

Another week in Paradise – I’m writing this from Dubai….Just kidding, just thought I’d mess witcha for a minute or so 🙂 Nope, you can rest easy, the sky is a reassuringly murky grey, all the plants in the garden are drowned, and the heating is on full blast. We’re in this together, yaaay……What’s up in Alaraville? Same old. Another busy week trying to spread joy to my captive patients; no one has actually called to complain about my cheesy jokes thus far, so it’s all good. I have to say that I’ve found that nothing makes people laugh as much as telling them that the lockdown is coming down, and well before the ludicrous May dates being put about by the government.

Regular readers may recall my sure-fire certainty that Dec 31st was the deadline for dismantling the damnfool exercise that is the lockdown, and that by the end of January the government would have started measures for ending it. Was I mocked? You bet! 🙂 Nevertheless, I’ve stuck to my guns and still maintain that it will happen exactly like that. What is that plaintive cry I hear, “Tomorrow is January ending?” O ye of little faith, will the Lord pronounce it and not make it happen? A resounding, No! AlaraApothecary: we bring you glad tidings of great joy because I can assure you that the lockdown is ending. If it’s not over by mid-Feb, colour me astonished. The government’s biggest problem having scared everyone to death, has been how to retreat from CASES! CASES!!, using a vaccine that doesn’t stop the spread or make us immune. They very much wish for us not to notice that they’ve pretty much destroyed the country and wrecked millions of lives. They very much wish to keep their jobs. If they just announce that lockdown is over, roughly 70 million people will be saying “Are you having a laugh? What was that all about?” (the language might be a bit more colourful than that)

The get-out? I give you The American Journal of Medicine. Imagine my utter lack of astonishment to find that there is a cure for Covid-19 after all. Remember that combo of Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin and Zinc that your favourite person Donald Trump put forward, wanted to implement federally and was shouted down vigorously by Fauci, Birx and the media for? It works, as long as you give it at the beginning of Covid. It’s exactly what was being given out in every hospital in this country until some prize idiot suffering from TDS decided to politicise medical treatment at the expense of patients. I know for a fact that many hospital pharmacies dedicated a whole team exclusively to making up packs of those 3 medicines for outpatient use, only for them to be mothballed while they ventilated patients with pressurised oxygen that shredded their lungs. Don’t believe me? Here’s this month’s AMJMED recommending it:

This is the regimen that is being recommended:

The best bit? The 3 main drugs are all generics and cheap as chips. For the amount we’ve spent on the useless vaccines and furlough, we could have supplied the entire planet with a pack of these drugs. Essentially, the algorithm recommends home treatment for everyone up to the point that they are getting blood clots which aren’t resolved by anticoagulants? That way the hospitals are overwhelmed and we can ‘save the NHS’. What does this remind me of? Let me think…..our tried and tested treatments for pneumonia and influenza……

Not only that, the main platform at that time which rubbished the treatment as quack science and insisted vaccines are the only way was Facebook. 2 days ago, they published a statement that they have reinstated the post they labelled as misinformation and dangerous incitement. The Oversight Committee ruled against the censorship and said it’s not fake news. This is the link:

A similar article in The Lancet trashing the doctors who wanted to use the treatment has been retracted. Isn’t that a pretty kettle of fish?

So, as I always say, don’t be afraid, and be of good cheer. We are nearly there and then we can start picking up the pieces. As for the power-mad politicians who have refused to do what’s best for their citizens, keeping their job is the least of their worries. A reckoning is coming, such as will make the ears of everyone that hears of it tingle. As for us, we are as safe as mother’s milk. To hell with the lockdown, a loud raspberry to tiers, time to go back to the old normal. And the people of God say……..Amen. Have a lovely weekend.
