Thanks for all you do Mathew. Are you in contact with @nickhudsonCT/@pandata19 who have a sizeable South African contingent? Mr Hudson is an actuary, I'm sure you know of him.

The Roundtable video from Puerto Rico (?) <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IeVy7jQoz0> has just come to my attention and provides a good opportunity for subscribers to

a) Put a face to your name, and more importantly

b) Circulate the video to friends and family to demonstrate the integrity and passion of early treatment advocates.

Keep going, this body of work is very important.

Am not at all surprised with the banning of HCQ in SA. Are you familiar with Prof. Tim Noakes? http://bitly.ws/iEZv

Even on non-mainstream search engines, a search brings up many articles debunking his current low-carb ideas. Yet prior to his stepping into the low-carb community, due to his development of T2D, his research was highly respected.

Instead rewarding him for identifying the error of his research and reversing his and others' diabetes, the powerful food industry coupled with the medical industrial complex (really, they are the same) went after him.

It always comes down to, follow the money.

Healthcare is a business with an innocent sounding name, that is as ruthless as the tobacco industry, in increasing and maintaining it's market share.

When patients realize that YOU are the product of this corrupt system, you will realize that the system does not care how long you live or how well you live, as long as it gets maximum revenue out of you or your insurance.

I am reminded of a podcast interview by I think Dr Mobeen of a rural South African doctor who successfully treated Covid cases in his very poor and very remote community. Word got out and people travelled for many miles to get treated. His protocol was HCQ and much of the time there was a shortage of oxygen so he succeeded even without this basic treatment. He knows none of his patients can afford a hospital stay and they were too remote for this anyway. He also used HCQ as a prophylactic for his own staff. I’m sorry I don’t recall the name of the Dr, he was very impressive in the interview. I will try to search for the video when I get back to my computer and reply again.

Posting the video would be appreciated if you find it. I may make a special update/edit, or keep it in a file for another article.

There used to be a facebook group, SAFARI - South Africans For the Right to Ivermectin or something like that - of course FB shut it down. One of the participants, Dr Rapiti, from the Cape Flats (very poor area) has had great success with Ivermectin and other cheap treatments. He is still on facebook. https://www.facebook.com/drrapiti

Dr. Chetty’s breakthrough -not a peep of praise from the corporate media…

If you treated over 6,000 patients in rural South Africa for C-19, and not one needed oxygen, got hospitalised, or died (and these are verifiable stats), surely the world would be beating a path to your door. And indeed, globally Dr. Chetty’s protocol is now widely and keenly sought after. It even bypasses using “controversial” drugs like Ivermectin (with a billion doses, this Nobel Prize winning anti-parasitic molecule of nature, demonstrated to be a COVID killer at all stages of the disease, and cheap to administer, and which has had more randomised clinical trials than mask wearing or lockdowns or pointless six feet rules for an airborne virus, is not really “controversial” but WHO knows?) and HCQ.

Most attempts at treatment had focused on the first, viral phase. And most of the exceptional early treatment protocols we’ve referenced seek to reduce viral replication and thereby curb the progression of the disease.

And most recover. About 20 to 30% worsen, and these are the leading candidates among the vulnerable demographic, for hospitalisation and death. Dr. Chetty discovered, they “worsen” on the eighth day. His hypothesis was that the onset of the inflammatory phase was a “hypersensitivity,” a kind of allergic reaction to the spike proteins. Hence, his treatment protocol uses simple antihistamines, corticosteroids and aspirin (as anti-coagulants) primarily.

His clinic is outdoors, remember no outdoor transmission verifiably reported. Therefore, well ventilated, plenty of natural sunlight. And with the drugs, the treatment can take place on an outpatient basis. The dyspnea that sets in, though with differences in speed and severity, seemed to present on the eighth day.

Dr. Chetty says, “I tried, on a patient who was critically ill, a dose of promethazine and oxygen saturation returned to 95% within 24 hours.” This pattern repeated confirmed the hypersensitivity hypothesis.

The protocol evolved from steroids to antihistamines to ecotrin/aspirin and montelukast. 99% of his patients were fully recovered within 14 days from the onset of symptomatic reactions.

Since his treatment is not “off label,” as he’s treating for allergic reactions and inflammation, the drugs used are acutely “on label,” I have continued to urge policy makers here to allow me to put them in touch with Dr. Chetty, as this version of “early treatment” can begin right away…far safer, cheaper and clearly more efficacious than vaccines, while the “off label” debates (irrational as they are) continue. There is no disincentive here, and we can immediately take the stress off oxygen needs and ICU usage.

The medical regulators and the heads of these regulators are completely corrupt. They are all interconnected with the various universities and are all being funded by BMGF. Witwatersrand University (WITS) being one of the worst and Prof Shabir A. Madhi is on BMGF scientific-advisory-committee including the Previous Chair of South African Medical Research Council Prof Abdool Karim who was receiving Grants for the department by Gates. Karim's family is deeply entrenched and gates has funded the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) headed by Helen Rees who just so happens to be on the board of GAVI. He also sponsored the National Health Insurance Task Team for NHI (National Health Insurance) investigation and planning. Professor Glenda Gray who is now Chair of South African Medical Research Council has also been connected to Fauchi when his -mails were exposed. Prof Abdool Karim has also been connected to Fauchi.

Its corrupt as hell.

Thank you for posting this info as well on SA. Yes it’s horribly corrupt. From Gates /WEF, certain WHO contacts, UN GAVI, UK MHRA, and the bought out media and certain government contacts. Tentacles in everything. Only can hope a new system can be built out if this somehow…

Weird is the story of Madagascar, with its own produced ‘Covid Organics’.

Their PM also wanted Madagascar back from the French. Since then he had an assassination attempt on his life.

In India despite this influence from Gates et all….Delhi significantly reduced cases. Uttar Pradesh, currently 34 districts covid free, FactCheckers said it was also vaccination, but they didn’t mention it was only at 15%.

UP government says early use of Ivermectin helped to keep positivity, deaths low…

Early treatment kits were given out which also included ivermectin in the kits, even the WHO knows this, but while they recognise the kits in this article, they won’t say what’s in them.

On the 9th June 2021, Tess Lawrie’s letter regarding vaccination to the UK MHRA.

http://medisolve.org/yellowcard_urgentprelimreport.pdf

Also on the 9th June 2021 was this piece.

“Merck revealed a deal to supply 1.7 million courses of the experimental treatment to the U.S. for approximately $1.2 billion. Molnupiravir has yet to be approved, but it's shown promise for newly diagnosed, non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients.”

And on 9th June 2021 this news report in India. The comments speak for themselves. The Indian government removed Ivermectin and almost everything from their main treatment protocols, only citing Merck’s own paper which said it didn’t work. At that time the Indian Council of Medical Research did still recommend Invermectin and HCQ, however since this news release, someone got to them and now they apparently don’t, or may do silently.

“According to ‘officials’ of the DGHS - ‘Experts’ found these did not help Covid19 patients.” (No mention of who these experts are?)

“The W.H.O had warned against its use (Ivermectin) German Pharma giant had said that there was no scientific basis for a potential therapeutic effect from Covid19 from preclinical studies. The FDA in April last year also recommended against the use of Ivermectin in treating Covid patients and said “taking large doses of this drug is dangerous and can cause serious harm” (Taking large doses of many things can cause you harm, but no harm when you are on the correct protocols and dosage. Ivermectin was deemed Safe by Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Adviser to the UK Government, from its prior use)

The W.H.O’s Soumya Swaminathan ‘hails’ the new plan,” (in India) which removes all these treatments or therapies. She says mild Covid19 only needs some paracetamol and no major drugs are needed. Asymptomatic patients have been advised not to take any medication and there is no emergency detection needed.”

She also has a legal notice from the Indian Bar Association regarding Ivermectin.

The GAVI Alliance, which has been hosted by UNICEF since it was launched in 2000, has become an independent international institution - the first organisation to receive such recognition under the new Swiss Host State Act.

Under the headquarters agreement signed today on behalf of the Federal Council of Switzerland by Ambassador Paul Seger, Director of the Department of Public International Law, the Geneva-based GAVI Alliance enjoys privileges and immunities similar to those enjoyed by other intergovernmental organisations in Switzerland.

Federal President Simonetta Sommaruga has awarded the Bill Gates Vaccine Alliance Gavi 30 million Swiss francs on behalf of Switzerland. For its part, the vaccination alliance GAVI made a donation of CHF 900,000 to the federal authority SWISSMEDIC. SWISSMEDIC is the Swiss approval and supervisory authority for drugs and medical devices. SWISSMEDIC is also responsible for the approval of dubious PCR tests in Switzerland, without which a pandemic would not be visible at all.

In Canada Gates is using Liberal Party insiders to lobby the Canadian government to accept the Vaccine Agenda he is foisting on the planet. His lobbying costs went up significantly in 2019.

In Australia, Gladys Berejiklian stepped down after information from opposing party members of an investigation into her and alleged Pharma lobbying connections, although FactCheckers deny millions were handed to her, because they said they looked into it, that was the extent of it. They are investigating Dan Andrews as well…

As in the UK buying into the BBC, Time and Guardian, he has bought into the press in Australia….

Other than people actually helping others in SA like Dr Chetty, Gordon Brown in the UK avoided the question of higher taxation for the very rich in an interview recently, but did talk a lot about needing to sell, I mean get vaccines to South Africa….meanwhile a Chinese South African billionaire (who bought the LA Times), is also looking to create another vaccine…

The increase in death rate with each subsequent wave seems to go along with what Geert has been saying since last year. He predicted that the death rate would go up with each wave, due to the enhancement of the disease. Given that SA, UK, US, Brazil are all captured by big Pharma and BMGF, may explain why these countries have done so poorly in this covid 19 era.

Mathew closes his penultimate paragraph with this sentence, "However, excess deaths did not revert particularly sharply after cessation of HCQ usage or upon introduction of vaccines. Each gave way to new waves of mortality." Would someone please explain in kitty-steps the relationship between this sentence and his final paragraph about corruption?
