I was debating this with someone on Twitter who says they do meta analyses. I pointed to Tess' work, they naturally pointed to Dr. Hills'. I put up the transcript and they told me it was "likely decontextualized". Some people, you just can't... It was like arguing with my brother when he had psychosis.

They also referred me to Romani's and another meta analysis but I think Tess pointed out rightly that heterogeneous studies like those can hide efficacy. Easy enough to pick unfavorable studies, especially inpatient treatment and say you have quality concerns with the rest, voila! ivermectin looks ineffective... but understanding stats inside and out I'm sure you know this too well, Matthew.

Bill Gates has been building these NGO groups and staffing regulatory agencies around the globe for well over a decade that I've been tracking and the money has changed everything with respect to gmo foods that are as helpful as these jabs. This is shocking but hardly a surprise.

"Lawrie has been the result of numerous media hit pieces, including one that was until just recently entirely out of character for Scientific American."

Gotta disagree it is out of character for Scientific American. SA have been happy to put out smear pieces and baseless "science" for critics of the approved narrative since 9-11 where they defended free-fall collapse of WTC7 while attacking architects and engineers who cite physics.. same with gmo food the spin is the same as the HCQ hit jobs.... They are no better than NYTimes or the others.. sometimes you get the truth but when the big money is against reality they serve %$#@ with the best of them.

The Hill-Lawrie exchange is by some margin the most shocking thing i have ever read. That man has blood on his hands. Millions and millions of people. It’s unfathomable.

I like Dr Kory and Dr Zelenko. Call a spade a spade. Those who have sold out are war criminals and at this point, they know it. They are closing ranks and hoping they can get out of this alive.

To clear his name, would Andrew Hill publish the research funds he received or involved with during his career? University of Liverpool or Imperial College funding from third-parties should be public. It would be interesting to see how much $ they received for medical research and from where.

Quite an eye opener, among many, this is.

By the way, the link cited in the following text

"Also present in that photo-op is (you're going to want to click this link—>) former INSERM CEO Ivey Levy, whose wife Agnes Buzyn took over Touraine's post as French Minister of Health and Solidarity (yes, that's what they're calling it now) shortly after the WIV broke ground."

produces a page that tells me

" You're logged in as <yours truly>, but this page is private. Try logging in with a different email, or letting the author know they've linked to a private page."

and I'm doing the latter, having only the one log-in, tried on Chrome and Firefox, Linux.

Thanks for your work.

Fantastically content rich post. I was shocked when I read the original article; as Kory says, Unitaid and the scientists corrupted or compromised by the funding have deaths on their hands. I wonder how they sleep at night?

"Lawrie has been the result of numerous media hit pieces" this should probably say "target", not "result."

Is there anywhere to watch/listen to their conversation? Kennedy mentions it was a zoom call that was recorded. So it must be somewhere no?

I'm halfway through RFK, Jr's book on Fauci, so the exchange between Lawrie and Hill was familiar to me.

Narrative proponents will pooh-pooh such evidence of widespread corruption, tying together government and corporate bureaucracies into a web of bribes and blackmail promoting not just "junk science" but baldfaced lies, saying this is just one example and that claims of widespread corruption are "conspiracy theories."

The following video of Dr. Aseem Malhotra is evidence that such corruption is in fact pervasive and dominating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ8t0qQ5R4I. I saw it some time ago and forgot to bookmark it, but was able to find it again because Neville Hodgkinson referenced it in the article on which this post is based.

Thanks for posting this, Matthew. I've no bookmarked both the aborted debate and the Malhotra clip.

In France, Buzyn banned over-the-counter chloroquine Jan. 13, 2020. Similar thing happened in the UK.

It almost sounds as if the ". . . executive of the modern state is nothing but a committee for managing the common affairs of the whole bourgeoisie."

Is this unfinished? The last section "Confession Through Projection?" just seems to end in a sentence that itself appears to be missing something (I'm unsure if the ellipses are for effect or a placecard for something: "that killed" whom?).

Mathew, that link regarding Levy/Buzyn says it's private. (I'm a paying subscriber - is there something else I should be? 😉)

This is an excellent article, I am really confused on the initial part on cancer. Can you elaborate? What was the holistic treatment ?

With all of these mini studies that form of the basis of the meta analysis, shouldn't we be concerned with publication bias? Investigators who don't find a meaningful signal are less likely to publish.
