The Dr. Been video is interesting. I was not aware of Dr. Been until 2021, when he appeared to be fully on board with the vaccination program. He was resistant to the biodistribution of the vaccines outside the deltoid muscle and lymph nodes, and was very reluctant to question the "safety and efficacy" of the vaccine. I was not happy with that and stopped watching his videos.

In the linked video, he speaks favorably of not just Ivermectin, but of early treatment in general, particularly of hydroxychloroquine and of mixing doxycycline with the Ivermectin treatment. In the absence of a drug or "vaccine" approved by the FDA for treatment of Covid-19, Dr. Been spoke in favor of doctors using their skills. However, as EUAs became available for the "vaccines" and Remdesevir, he seems to have stopped pushing early treatment. This is why YouTube tolerates him. Whether someone "got to" him or he was always going to endorse the official narrative, I don't know. But early on, he was for early treatment and saving as many lives as possible given the tools doctors had at the time. He built a loyal following and many continue to see him as a truth teller, quite useful for the official narrative.

I don't judge Dr. Been, but at this point I pay him little mind.

Interesting you should mention Pakistan as being a major producer of HCQ, because both Pakistan and Bangladesh have extremely low Covid deaths per million compared to European countries, Israel and the US. I'm talking 10 to 20 times lower rates.

Also, CFR is a very poor metric. It ignores the fact that unvaccinated people are less likely to test and report. I ran a survey here in New Zealand and 90% of the unvaccinated i polled did not report their Covid status to the Ministry of Healths data tracking system.

Bangladesh also has a lot more young people than old, and statistically less likely to die of Covid in the first place, but youth has clearly not saved them from vaccine-induced mortality huh.

Pharma contracts with countries to pay in full for vaccination regardless of whether Pharma delivers (approximately $40 per COVID-19 vaccine dose). Could a country pay for the vaccine to get Pharma off their back and not use it? Would that be allowed? Or would Pharma care so much they'd insist on injecting everyone?

For what it's worth, Bangladesh's gov't is going to great lengths to NOT become indebted to multilateral development banks and the IMF, but they're hanging on by a fingernail.

Great post, thank you. 🌈. When I told a friend that countries had more deaths after the vaccine rule out, she looked at me like I had gone mad.
