During the first few months, folks around the world was experimenting and trying out various therapies, often with good results - and yet MSM and social media deliberately censored and memory-holed them. Quite a few examples have been mentioned by me in various posts... one thing I didn't mention was that I followed a lot of fantastic discussions on JAMA (a medical group) forums, where doctors around the world were sharing their therapies and results. All subsequently shut-down and ignored. When Delta was raging in India, one state widely prescribed VIM and some associated cheap meds (AZ and HCQ I believe) and they had a negligible death rate... did the other Indian states follow? Nope, one even banned VIM then. That wasn't just insane, it was very deliberate.
Yes, maybe some people averted their eyes to the obvious ... quite a few still do, as a means of coping. A quaint example would be Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame), who is obviously vex-injured, and just did a 2nd mea culpa on twitter. His first was over a year ago, was only half-sincere and mockingly said the anti-vexxers chose to jab out of stubborness/plain luck. In his 2nd attempt, he still frames it as anti-vexxers winning and the jabberwockies losing, as he is now wondering what he will be like in 5 year, if he's even still alive then. The comments are generally telling him - we never looked at it as winning or losing... (that is just so crass and simplistic).. we were the ones who actually looked at the studies (or lack of), smelt the rat from the getgo... and tried our best to warn friends and family, often to no avail. Our hearts were broken many times.. and our faith in fellow men shaken. I honestly expect a 3rd mea culpa from him, when he finally figures out that the system was really out to get him, and it wasn't a conspiracy theory.
