Remdesivir is the key to so much isn't it!

It stood in front of safer, [much] cheaper, and more effective treatments.

It got used in late treatment protocols, which can never possibly make sense in terms of a viral illness where application of antivirals works (by far) best early.

Standing in the way of early treatment (probably including placebos, to be frank) resulted in unnecessary hospitalization. Then bad hospital protocols led to unnecessary mortality. And profit.

It's kind of amazing (scary?) that a bad hospital protocol can spread this easily over the entire country. Need more independent thinkers, decentralize the protocols. Good post Mathew thanks.

The social understanding of "COVID-19" or "COVID" is so different that if one were to observe a conversation between multiple people talking about either of these terms, one may think they are talking about very different illnesses, though calling it all the same thing. The result... some people are hugely relieved knowing they didn't die when they got their "COVID badge". No doubt, this categorization with the help of PCR and 24 hour media propaganda was another way to obfuscate deeper intentions around some of the oddities surrounding the whole thing.

I know you are doing important work, I just don't know where it all leads. What is the outcome we can hope for? New heroes are all (to my estimate) already compromised, set in place and ready long before the hegelian dialectic drove us towards them.

From far away, working on new agricultural models, I salute you, and ask tentatively and a bit timidly - looking at the chess board, what are the next moves?

Alex: My next move is to fasten my seatbelt and enjoy the ride. Mathew does a tremendous public service by doing research many of us never thought of. What we all can do to make the ride a bit less bumpy is to build and strengthen local communities and food systems, run for local office, home school the kids. Find joy in living every day.

I heard the first guy to invent the mouse (not optical mouse) was #3 at Apple? Some Hispanic guy? surely this guy plays a role in the Kirsch rabbit hole? Reminds me of Seabiscuit, people always remember the horse, never the jockey. lol

Thanks, Mathew. Fascinating.

I suspect the controlled opposition to be those nitpicking the opposition.

The immense financial powers behind the WEF, Big Pharma and the MSM set the narrative. Doesn't matter what the opposition does: errors, dollar chasing, conforming, etc.

Yes, being wrongfully accused of something sucks, just don't act like you are above doing the same thing.

Sigh. No, I didn't. But thebfact that you're going act as if I did is its own chaos, accidentally or intentionally.

What form would you follow?

I'm frustrated with the apparent sniping between the precious group of erudite and brave COVID exposers. I'm not saying you started it. And I really appreciate your voice and analysis. But can we stop making the internecine dialogue personal? From my point of view, good people stepped out of their comfortable circumstances to be attacked from all arms of establishment propaganda. We don't need other good people to add to it. I have subscribed to many of the substacks to support those that stick their neck out, because even bravery needs support. But the cross-fire is the way we lose. Would you take the high ground pls? We need you.

Are you asking me not to research or report on Robert Malone's murky past in the biowarfare and vaccine circles because you buy tje notion that he came to Jesus a few months after it was too late to stop a mass experiment that he had invested in through a competing product?

It is clear that our perspectives diverge.

A couple things to consider if you would.

People with inside knowledge will have the opportunity to "come to Jesus" again in the future. When they consider whether to put themselves in the line of fire, what precedents do you want to set? Nether you nor I can read minds. We don't know what Malone suspected when. And what his thought process exactly was. Do you want to torch him for what he did before he came out? Is that the example you want to set for people who are inside and are considering speaking out?

We are nowhere close to winning. I suggest we welcome dissidents and whistleblowers and spend our efforts on those who are clearly guilty and those still attacking good people from the inside. (Rather than engage in a purity spiral against those who speak out.)

Bottom line - I am asking we encourage good behavior and disclosure first. Thank you for reading. And your good work.
