I was personally skeptical of Paxlovid from the start. It was brought forward with little good data and it seemed to me to be more hype that help. The EPIC-HR study gave me some hope but digging into that study turned me sour, since the subjects were unvaccinated patients who were infected with the older SARS-CoV2 strains. Later studies did not bear out the efficacy of this drug. Yet everywhere I turned the drug was being pushed. If we are to beware of Greeks bearing gifts then we should be doubly wary of medical establishments bearing treatments without evidence.
Jay Varma is a disgrace to the medical profession. His indulgence in high risk sex behaviors speaks poorly for his life choices and the direction of his ethical compass. An association with financial benefit to hype drugs of little value is indicative of financial and moral turpitude. Further most concerning these drugs of little clinical value aside from depleting the users finance provides no benefit and undisclosed harms
I’m trying really hard not to snicker at the thought of Varma getting Mpox at one of those sex parties. I’m also trying really hard to get his smarmy face outta my thoughts as well.
What you state regarding the stability of thge mRNA vaccines is totally incorrect. (1) RNA is not unstable per se. Rather it is just highly susceptible to degradation by RNase which is present everywhere so one does have to be very careful in handling RNA. (2) the vaccine does not comprise regular RNA. Rather all the Uracyls (U) have been substituted by methyl pseudo uridine to (a) make the vaccine mRNA a lot more stable and (b) not susceptible to attack by the immune system (which was unecessary since the mRNA was encapsulated in a liposome and therefore never was exposed to the immune system. Unfortunately, substitution of U by pseudomethylU makes themRNA vaccine especially stable which is why it could be detected after 6 months post-vaccination in virtually every organ system in the body (i.e. really bad news given that it was supposed to have a half life of a couple of days in the body and stay in the deltoid muscle where it was injected).
"Public health" is an oxymoron. Health is highly individual. Of course pubic health is corrupt. It is almost always a department of government--- supported and promoted by their satraps in the colleges and universities. Unlike the politicians that lie constantly and blatantly, the public health people have to seem to give a scientific patina to their recommendations. But no surprise that they turn out to be just as immoral as the politicos.
Is this a forum for conspiracy theorists? Sorry I don't believe that officials only pretended to get the covid vaccine, in order to trick the rest of us into it for nefarious means. Is this the theory that is being promulgated here? How exactly does this "evil" vaccine cause harm to the vast majority of us? Besides the small number who have bad reactions, which is true of most vaccines. Also, I was vaccinated and boosted then got covid and took Paxlovid. (I am a healthy 72.) I could feel it working! I started to feel better very quickly after starting the drug--quicker than I ever would if I'd just had a regular cold or flu virus. All this said, I have my own skepticism about pharma and some of what they push, but I tend to believe that the covid vaccines were important and effective and not something to be denigrated as some sort of public health scam.
The article does not allege anyone faked taking the vaccines. Vaccines were good for old, non immune people and unnecessary for kids and those with prior covid. Feeling better after getting Paxlovid is not proof it works. some people feel better with placebo as well.
I can’t stop reading the comments Even though I know most of them are insane. Thank you for replying. I think some readers read the wrong thing between the lines. Don’t be discouraged. We are out here normal folks just trying to practice internal medicine. Thank you thank you thank you thank you.
One or more commenters here were saying they bet that it was all fake--the officials, Biden, Fauci, etc did not really get the vaccine, they faked it in order to manipulate the public. That's what I was commenting on--sorry--not your piece, but the comments really.
This is important commentary that should receive much wider attention. The actions of an elite cabal has shredded trust in medical institutions and practitioners - maybe for the better, in some cases, because I (and so many) have worked to become much more informed on health topics due to this mistrust. Although I found myself trying to talk my daughter out of going into medicine - unthinkable to me a decade ago. I lost, she's doing it... And honestly, the biggest reason I don't want her to is because they all mandate this particular unnecessary vaccination, which I believe causes actual harm all by itself.
Another example of how our public health leaders have failed us is in promoting water fluoridation and insisting that it is “one of the greatest health achievements of the 20th century.” I hope you will cover this on Sensible Medicine one day.
It is possible that large segments of the population were, in effect, given saline injections. The mRNA in most "vaccinations" is a very unstable molecule. Unlike DNA which lasts decades, the half-life of mRNA is only several minutes. Due to its instability the mRNA has to be stored in special "super freezers" that keep it at -70 degrees centigrade. Before the covid scam only a few research labs had these freezers and they were not cheap. It is unlikely that the pharmacies and parking lots that gave most of the vaxes had these for proper storage. Thus the mRNA would be completely degraded and inactive---i.e. like a saline injection. If that is the case, it makes the figures on toxicity even more horrifying.
I have wondered the same many times. I think there is zero chance Fauci, Birx, Gates, etc received the vaccine. Because his decline has been so precipitous, I am inclined to think that Biden received the full complement.
I often wonder how many of the docs pushing harmful mainstream info are well-meaning, and how many know better and are just evil. I still don't know, but Varma proves that the latter category does exist. Is there something about docs that makes them more corruptible than the rest of us? Not a rhetorical question, feel free to weigh in.
One issue might be the enormous financial debt from medical school that might compromise their ability to think clearly....whether subconsciously or even consciously.

It makes me wonder if the champions on the left posing while getting their covid jabs were actually being injected with saline.
It is possible that large segments of the population were, in effect, given saline injections. The mRNA in most "vaccinations" is a very unstable molecule. Unlike DNA which lasts decades, the half-life of mRNA is only several minutes. Due to its instability the mRNA has to be stored in special "super freezers" that keep it at -70 degrees centigrade.

I would give a lot to know that too.
