With Professor Colleen Aldous Critical appraisal of multidrug therapy in the ambulatory management of patients with COVID-19 and hypoxemia Part II: Causal inference using the Bradford Hill criteria Uploaded 13-04-25 https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/antibiotics/78/1/78_35/_pdf/-char/en We continue the critical appraisal of three published case series of 119 COVID-19 patients with hypoxemia, treated in the United States, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria with similar ivermectin-based multidrug treatments, to assess the available evidence supporting a causal relationship between treatment and reduction in hospitalizations and mortality. A narrative review was conducted to assess the Bradford Hill criteria for a causal association. We used a previously proposed refinement of the Bradford Hill criteria that reorganized them into three categories of direct, mechanistic, and parallel evidence. The efficacy of the two most aggressive ivermectin-based multidrug protocols is supported by the Bradford Hill criteria for temporality, strength of association, biological gradient, biological plausibility, coherence, consistency, and analogy. The causal relation between the treatment of hypoxemic COVID-19 patients using these protocols and the reduction in hospitalizations and mortality is supported as an inference to the best explanation. Critical appraisal of multidrug therapy in the ambulatory management of patients with COVID-19 and hypoxemia Part I. Evidence supporting the strength of association https://faculty.utrgv.edu/eleftherios.gkioulekas/papers/032-c19-ivm-oxygen.pdf On March 11, 2020, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), the disease caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) [1]. Worldwide, 768,187,096 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 6,945,714 deaths have been reported to the WHO as of June 21 2023, amounting to an average Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of 0.9% [2]. During 2020, while several governments and public health agencies were focused on contagion control and in-hospital patient care, several medical doctors from all around the world innovated and discovered early outpatient multidrug treatments using several repurposed medications in combination [3–15]. In the United States, several independent efforts coalesced into the formulation of a sequenced multidrug protocol [10, Fig. 3] (hereafter, McCullough protocol), which is based on the pathophysiological understanding of COVID-19 as a triphasic illness with three overlapping phases: (1) viral proliferation; (2) hyperinflammatory cytokine storm (COVID-19 pneumonia); and (3) thrombosis. McCullough’s protocol proposed a combination antiviral therapy for treating the viral proliferation phase, immunomodulators for treating the cytokine storm, and antiplatelet agents and antithrombotics for handling the thrombotic stage, based on risk stratification and how the disease presents in each individual patient. Thus, the McCullough protocol is an algorithmic treatment using sequenced multiple drugs in combination and customized to the individual patient and their response to treatment; no single drug is necessary nor sufficient to achieve treatment efficacy towards reducing hospitalizations and deaths. A recently published update of the McCullough protocol [16, Fig. 3] introduced some adjustments including virucidal nasal washes and oral gargles [17–24]. A large case series of 869 high-risk patients [25, 26], who were treated using an early version of the McCullough protocol, has been compared against population-level and historical controls [27], showing the existence of efficacy with respect to the reduction of mortality and hospitalizations, which is also resilient with respect to random selection bias, provided that patients are treated early enough within the first 3 to 5 days from the onset of illnes Learn more about your ad choices.

October 20 · 19 minExcess Deaths and cancers after vaccine
Significant Increase in Excess Deaths after Repeated COVID-19 Vaccination in Japan Uploaded 20-08-25 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40416011/ Although Japan recorded the world's highest rate of COVID-19 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccination doses per capita, (3.3 doses, 0 -8) COVID-19 cases and deaths exploded after the emergence of the Omicron variant, (despite more than 80% of the population having been fully vaccinated) followed by a significant increase in excess deaths in 2022 and 2023. Although several hypotheses have been proposed to explain these phenomena, the truth remains to be established because sufficient studies and data disclosures have not been conducted to adequately investigate the possible contribution of mRNA vaccines. The causes of the excess deaths from not only COVID-19 but also other factors after repeated mRNA vaccinations must be elucidated, given this could provide valuable information to help combat future infectious disease outbreaks. Japan, 2022 and 2023, excess deaths per million More than 1,400 (three times higher than that in the United States) COVID-19 deaths in Japan accounted for only 10% of these excess deaths Another hypothesized cause of the excess deaths is various adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccinations. As of November 18, 2024, Japan After COVID-19 vaccination Government has provided payouts for 8, 432 injuries Payouts after 903 deaths Numbers that are still increasing, already greatly exceed the numbers of injuries and deaths, for which payments were made, after all other vaccinations in the last 47 years. Many injuries and deaths in the young population E.g. fatal case, 14-year-old girl (vaccinate to protect granny) This policy contradicts an early study (August 2021) showing vaccination did not reduce the viral load of infected individuals Adverse reactions reported Myocarditis, pericarditis, blood clotting, and autoimmune diseases linked to lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and excessive production of spike proteins generated by the mRNA. Deaths from cancers related to estrogen receptors, such as leukemia, breast, pancreatic, lip/oral/pharyngeal, ovarian, and uterine cancers, have also increased since the population-wide administration of mRNA vaccinations Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 is known to bind to estrogen receptors, located in the nucleus, and includes a nuclear localization signal, which makes it more likely to be conveyed to the nucleus. Another hypothesis involves chronic infection caused by immunosuppression after repeated vaccination. Indeed, recent studies have reported an increase in spike-specific (more immunoglobulin G4, more regulatory T cells) Wastewater monitoring data support this claim. Robert Redfield “The benefit to the 30-year-old firefighter, I don’t see the benefit.” “There’s prolonged production or impact or negative consequence from spike protein in some people that get the mRNA vaccine.” The concerns related to the mRNA-LNP formulation evidently need to be taken seriously. Thus, it is imperative to elucidate the effects of population-wide COVID-19 vaccination. Japanese health authorities have been hesitant to provide data It was revealed that the vaccinated were as susceptible as or even more susceptible to COVID-19 infection than were the unvaccinated Learn more about your ad choices.

Evidence about the characteristics of Omicron is still emerging but early trends seen both internationally and within Australia suggest that it is more transmissible However, early indications around hospitalisation, ICU admission and death show that Omicron could be far less than Delta and other variants Importantly, after almost four weeks of Omicron in Australia there are currently no confirmed Omicron cases in ICU and no deaths confirmed to date Modelling, it's one of a range of tools and can't be viewed in isolation A preliminary scenario, of many being considered to help inform decision making Presents one of the worst case of all potential scenarios including assumptions that the Omicron variant is as severe as the Delta variant, an absence of hospital surge capacity, a highly limited booster program, no change to baseline public health and social measures and an absence of spontaneous behaviour change in the face of rising case numbers None of these five assumptions represent the likely state of events, let alone all of them together, therefore presenting that scenario as the likely scenario that will occur is highly misleading Former deputy chief health officer Nick Coatsworth Whoever leaked the Doherty modelling without context has committed a gross injustice to the Australian people Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt Despite the rapid spread of Omicron only a fraction of cases were ending up in hospitals SA hospital data https://www.nicd.ac.za/diseases-a-z-index/disease-index-covid-19/surveillance-reports/daily-hospital-surveillance-datcov-report/ UK data https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-om Learn more about your ad choices.

‘I should decide if my vulnerable adult son has a Covid vaccine – not a judge’ Sarah’s instinct to protect Tom, a 24-year-old with complex medical conditions, could be overridden by one of Britain’s most powerful courts https://www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/parenting/children/covid-vaccine-health-risks-court-heart-vulnerable-son/ ‘They should be proving to us that it’s safe, not me trying to prove it isn’t’ ‘All I’ve ever wanted to be is a great mother and to protect my son’ Mum Sarah and son Tom (23 years / 18 months LD) Congenital heart condition Chromosomal condition, Partial Trisomy 13 She dared to question whether the Covid-19 vaccine was safe for her vulnerable son Nearly three years, Court of Protection Whether the greater good – for Tom and society – will be served by him being injected (despite complex medical conditions) Sarah Claims state being “heavy-handed”, insisting it knows better than a mother. Tom had all his childhood vaccines. Her fear about the vaccine mRNA suitable in multiple pathology? Dentists, needs antibiotics 2021 Tom contracted covid twice, recovered quickly. Sarah repeatedly asking medical professionals “I went to talk to my GP about my concerns,” “I explained that I was worried there was a possibility the vaccine could cause myocarditis or pericarditis” “At the end of our chat when I said I was concerned about Tom having the vaccine, the doctor simply said he needed to tick some boxes for the relevant “agencies”. I didn’t think any more of it.” A few days later Social worker unexpected visit. Then, a physiotherapist Both questioned about why Tom had not yet had the vaccine. “I felt they should be proving to us that it’s safe, not me trying to prove it is not safe.” April 2021 Court summons, signalling the beginning of a protracted and ongoing legal tussle with the state. Judge Burrows legal “impasse” “on the advice given to clinicians by effectively the UK Government” Sarah “the risks posed by the vaccine were unclear and maybe significant.” Judge Burrows Tom was in an at-risk group, “the evidence is that vaccines do give protection against serious illness and death.” Whether Tom “may have made an altruistic decision to receive the vaccine to protect the community at large” “In other words: might Tom have behaved like a responsible citizen and considered the effect of his decision on other people had he made the decision for himself.” “it is in Tom’s best interest to receive the vaccine” Court battle is still ongoing. Sarah Crowdfunding site – “Forced Vaccinations On Our Loved Ones” So far, those who believe mother knows best have raised more than £35,000. Sarah has spent £25,000 of her own life savings. Professor World expert in Trisomy 13, told the court the vaccine could pose a threat to Tom. If the court ultimately orders that Tom should be vaccinated, any attempt by his mother to prevent that happening could culminate in her being jailed or assets being seized. Sarah “‘He is currently a fit and well young man with no comorbidities and he takes no medications. “The injection could potentially injure or kill him. If he is given the vaccine, one of my greatest fears is that he cannot speak and express how he is feeling should he have an adverse reaction. “I have dedicated my whole life to overseeing his health and worked tirelessly with the medical community to develop intricate and personalised care regimes,” “It’s my care which has contributed to Tom living until he is 24, despite Trisomy 13 often resulting in a limited lifespan. “For the judge to believe that Tom would take it for the sake of others – the so-called altruistic view – denies the possibility that there is any risk at all to Tom. “I would think he’d protect his own life by not taking it.” “All I have ever wanted to be is a great mother and to protect my son Learn more about your ad choices.
