Ivermectin is only the tip of the iceberg. Medical bureaucrats are no different from other bureaucrats. Once in place, their priority becomes building a massive wall of proof that they are right. Not actually being right, simply proving diligence instead of achieving it. That has not changed in more than half a century.

What changed was the elites' sense of entitlement to rule over the rest of us. Trump committed the ultimate two sins: fighting back, and interrupting Clinton's coronation. The partisan elites already had big tech, public employee unions and legacy media on their side; all that was left to destroy Satan Incarnate was a pretext. COVID19 was a gift from the gods. Add medical bureaucrats to the mix and your coup is guaranteed to succeed.

But first, censorship. Fuller is one casualty; there are millions more. As soon as I learned in early January that a new respiratory virus had broken out in Wuhan and that Taiwan had closed its borders, conclusions were easy to reach. The last two dangerous respiratory disease outbreaks were both from corona viruses and originated in China. Both China and WHO were lying about human-human transmission. And the Wuhan lab had been China's center for biowarfare for decades.

I wrote about all of that, was condemned for spreading misinformation, and WHO fronted for China's lies. When social distancing guides came out, they were based on German research into bacteria in the late 1800s. We didn't have the technology then to detect virus particles in aerosols then. When we developed the technology we learned that the distance is eight meters. More writing, more condemnation and banning. Loss of long-held friendships because I was a fraud.

I did med school in Germany, practiced psychiatry there in the 1980s for a short while before returning to the US and leaving medicine. I'm not a research scientist nor bureaucrat, so I have no credibility. Except that we knew more than a hundred years ago how to deal with respiratory viruses: put all protective measures in place for the most vulnerable, probably the elderly and obese, put all infected patients outdoors or in extra-ventilated rooms, and ignore everyone else until we have more info. Suspensions and bans.
