@nosuchthing8 I believe you are factually incorrect. Ivermectin is part of "health packs" distributed in at least one Indian province, which has virtually wiped out COVID-19, for very little money.

All that's in the past, now that they have the government's backing. (Horrific)

I'm not sure that it happens more in the military-industrial complex. There are other complexes, like the media, medical industry, forest industry, you name it. If the government regulates it, big business is going to try to hijack the agency responsible. This has been true since the 19th Century, when the first federal agencies were created, like the Interstate Commerce Commission. Creating those agencies make rule-manipulation-for-your-benefit a one-stop-shopping experience for robber barons.

Are they controlling for treatment regimens? I fear that there're 2 tiers of treatments: one for the jabbed and another for the unjabbed. Maybe not everywhere, but in quite a few places. In my opinion the standard of care tends to be pretty low, generally, with most people being denied treatments that work, especially in the early stages. "Here's some cough syrup. Come back when your lips are blue."

@dalesplitstone6276 Actually, it's pretty easy to get an appropriate dosage, as the instructions on the package are based on the weight of the "animal."

@SniffBackBetter The disinformation campaigns waged against HCQ, Ivermectin, monoclonal antibodies, etc. are crimes against humanity, and should give pause to ANYbody pushing for Medicare-for-All. You don't want the bureaucrats controlling your medical care. The bureaucrats are controlled by Big Money and Big Pharma, but more importantly, they're spending Peter's money on Paul, so they don't care about quality OR cost, which is why socialized medicine for the masses is not a good idea. Safety net? Sure. Maybe. But for the majority? No. If the majority can't afford their own care, then no organ of the state can, either, inasmuch as they derive all their resources from the people. Socialized medicine should be a last-resort thing, used only by the poor. The RICH understand this, because there's no way anybody in Congress (for example) is going cheap on THEIR medical care, but it's OK for the rest of us.

@chriscampbell1572 I think you're blind to the escalation of costs to paying customers that comes with government intervention in the USA. In Canada, you have other issues associated with no one "profiting" from medical care. Long waits. Treatments unavailable. Etc. In the USA, people with insurance pay the freight for everyone who doesn't have insurance. The medicare rates do not always cover the full cost, so the hospital makes it up off the paying customers and/or provides substandard care. The best doctors in the USA are retiring as early as possible, because of rigid controls, red tape, and difficulty earning good money. I had a major surgery that cost $70,000. The surgeon only got about $700. The rest was inflated bullshit.

This is why decentralization of power is crucial to human survival. You can't get things right for everyone, but you at least have a shot at getting things MORE right in your little corner of it. Then sharing successes and failures with others allows good ideas to be discovered and spread most effectively and efficiently. Putting everyone under ONE government's or ONE agency's idea of "what's best" NEVER turns out well for the people, in the long run. Just takes one guy with a bad idea to screw things up for EVERYbody.

@rocklover7437 It's laughable. "Jesuits' Bark," i.e., quinine, has been in use for centuries. It only became "experimental" when Billy Boy and his ilk wanted to force something that actually IS experimental on EVERYone.

@dailygrind9237 Health care has been hopelessly corrupted by government intervention.
