Covid is a Treatable Disease – Distressed Liberal

Tim Robbins Gives The Gift of Critical Thinking and True Compassion

I came across this clip of an interview of actor Tim Robbins by Russell Brand on Richard’s TruthAboutCovid blog today.

It is so powerful, and in some ways mirrors my own awakening.

While I was never angry at anyone for protesting Covid lock-downs in 2020, like Tim I was also passively accepting what I was told and going along with the program. It wasn’t until Trump began talking about Warp Speed Vaccines that I became very unsettled. It wasn’t because of Trump; it was some inner alarm bell that transcended Party and spoke to something deeper.

By the end of 2020, I became aware that Covid was a disease that could be effectively treated with existing and inexpensive drugs and protocols. And that this effort was (and continues to be) brutally suppressed. I recommend this incredible article written in May 2021 by award-winning journalist Michael Capuzzo called The Drug That Cracked Covid. It is a true piece of investigative journalism that blows this whole early and effective treatment DENIALISM wide open. If you don’t have time to read the whole thing, read the short preface to Capuzzo’s article, wherein it dawns on him that yes, there is a serious effort to deny and undermine early treatment of covid by the Media. It is called The Story of the Cover Story.

Capuzzo’s piece profiles the doctors of the Covid19CriticalCare Alliance. But there were thousands of other doctors across the country finding out how to treat the respiratory and vascular symptoms of Covid with existing drugs.

For example, Overcoming The Covid Darkness: How Two Doctors Successfully Treated 7,000 Patients by Dr. George Fareed and Dr. Brian Tyson details, with plenty of science-driven data and patient testimony, how these doctors saved thousands with their HCQ treatment protocol. (Dr. Fareed is a Harvard Medical School graduate, former NIH scientist and family doctor of 30 years and has been honored for his work treating covid patients).

This particular knowledge was a major turning point in my rejecting the Sacred Vaccine Cow narrative. How could I support this grand, billion dollar venture, knowing that so many people lost their lives because we were basically told by The Government there was “nothing to be done” for covid sufferers, except sedate them, put them on a ventilator (ensuring almost certain death) and wait for a vaccine? A vaccine that doesn’t even stop you from getting Covid! (Although back in 2021 we were told it would, and if vaccinated you’d never have to mask again).

Tim doesn’t speak about early treatment in this clip. But he had plenty of other “something is not right” moments over the past few years.

Like Tim, I also questioned the Orwellian way the CDC was changing the basic definitions of words and concepts, such as “vaccines” and “immunity” in order to fit an agenda (vaccines in every arm, at all costs, even at the cost of telling the truth).

Like Tim, I also was shocked by the cruel and frankly deranged way the Media and Government encouraged citizens to “turn the unvaccinated into pariahs” and actively hate on and deny equal treatment to fellow citizens who chose not to be vaccinated with a Covid “Vaccine” (and how many went along with it). And that to some, it is STILL acceptable to treat unvaccinated people differently than vaccinated people. This, even though it is beyond obvious (and acknowledged for over a year now by the CDC) that both the vaccinated and unvaccinated can transmit the virus and should not be treated differently.

If you have the time, please listen to this 11 minute clip of Tim Robbins’ very thoughtful exploration into his own Mind and personal Awakening.

The Double-Blind Ivermectin Study Nobody Wanted to Talk About

Near the end of February 2020, there was an outbreak of scabies at the Valley View Residence in Toronto, Canada.

Nicole Ziegler’s 93 year old mother suffered from dementia, and was a resident in this nursing home at the time. Nicole received a mass mailing from Valley View, stating they would be administering ivermectin to the entire facility to address the outbreak. Ivermectin is a well-known treatment for scabies that has been in use for decades.

Residents on the 4th floor, where the outbreak was happening, would get curative dosing. Residents on the other floors would get a lesser dose as a prophylactic against infection.

The median age of the 170 residents in this facility is 85 years. Most have multiple serious health issues and require close contact care.

In March 2020, many of the staff at Valley View started coming down with Covid-19. But not one resident on the 4th Floor was infected with the virus–zero Covid cases. There were only 6 residents who came down with Covid-19 in the entire facility, and 4 of these were asymptomatic including a 100 year old. Two died, including Nicole’s mother. Her only covid symptom was a low grade fever that lasted about 24 hours. She exhibited signs of dehydration in her final days and was very thirsty. The facility also took the mother’s walker away–her lifeline to other people–and she was isolated in her room. According to her daughter, in a matter of days her very mobile mother forgot how to walk.

Nicole was only allowed to visit her mother for a half hour at a time, in full PPE. During one visit, Nicole asked for assistance from the staff. The aide on duty, after learning the mother’s status, promptly left the room and never returned. “People were terrified of my mother,” says Nicole.

Regarding the Covid-19 outbreak at Valley View, Nicole says, “One of nurses had mentioned they thought that ivermectin had saved their population. She said, “We think it’s saving everybody in here.””

Nicole looked for information online, and found a University of Australia lab study on the effects of ivermectin on Sars-CoV2. Says Nicole, “It (ivermectin) was killing the virus within 48 hours.”

Nicole began discussing ivermectin with friends and realized that what had happened at the nursing home was “a double-blind study without meaning to be one.” Her advocacy caught the attention of CTV, but they were “unable to crack the dome. They contacted Valley View residence and administrator was given a heads up that CTV would be contacting them. Immediately the door was shut. Valley View said they had no comment and they would not discuss anything that had happened. No official comment.”

This shocked Nicole: “We are sitting on something that is huge. This could not only be a treatment but a preventative. And nobody wants to talk about it. And I find that very disturbing.”

What’s kind of touching is that the Interviewer and Nicole agree that although the media, WHO and Health Canada weren’t responsive to this event, they seem confident that the information would eventually be “brought forward to the public.”

It was, a year later, but not the way they thought it would be.

Here is the video interview of Nicole Ziegler from June 22, 2020. The above is only a partial summary and it is worth watching the entire 15 minutes.

“This Was A Big Time Mind-F*ck”

On Monday October 24, 2022, 16 New York City Department of Sanitation Workers won a lawsuit against NYC, The Health Commissioner and the Mayor.

These people were fired from their jobs (and lost their pensions) for declining the covid vaccine mandated by the city a year ago. A NY Supreme Court Judge ruled that the vaccine mandate imposed on them was unconstitutional, arbitrary and capricious.

The Judge ordered that these workers be reinstated to their jobs immediately and stated they were entitled to back-pay starting from the date they were terminated.

A reporter named Aimee was the only journalist there to cover the reactions of these workers outside the courtroom, immediately after the ruling came down.

Below is a YouTube video she made of the Workers’ reactions after the ruling. I have excerpted some of their words below. (I don’t have their names, but all 16 Workers’ names are on the Judge’s Ruling on their case.)

“This was a Big Time Mind-Fuck. It completely disrupted our lives but we knew we’d be on the right side of history. They went way too far. As the judge said, so arbitrary and capricious, they were literally making shit up as they go.

They isolated us. It was really cruel. It really was. It changed my life forever. I’ll never trust the city again, the Department again, the union. They showed their true colors. The union’s job is to protect my job. And the union was nowhere to be found. The Union dismissed us because of our small number but what about the 1,000-1,500 who would never have taken it except for the threat of losing their jobs. You screwed them. “You made a choice.” No. You get to keep what you already have (the job) if you turn your medical decisions over to us? That’s coercion. That’s illegal.”

Two of the workers discuss how they felt “disposable” because by them being fired and replaced, it would be cheaper for the city.

“Tell us we’re selfish….for what? It doesn’t work. Everyone knows it doesn’t work. In December 2021 my garage of 180 guys. There was maybe 50 guys, all vaxxed and out with Covid. And they still terminated us. Are you kidding me? Evil. Pure evil….You give exemptions to athletes and performers and you continue to lay off city workers? Sick, evil shit. Evil people.”

They explained that they before they were terminated, they were on unpaid leave with health benefits. Then, the city suddenly presented them with a document to sign: It said they could keep their benefits but only if they gave up their right to sue the city.

“We were given 24 hours to sign the waiver, to make a life-altering decision. And there were no Union delegates.”

A Worker who moved to Georgia, but came back for the hearing said he felt like he was up against “a machine,” that there was “no human element.” He had put in 19 years as a city worker and had a rent stabilized apartment which he eventually could no longer afford. So he moved south. This father of three said, “This was the most stressful situation of my life, my wife and I cried a lot of tears.”

Mention was made of the $500 and 8 hours of comp time Workers were offered to take the shot. “I thought bribes were illegal.“

Another worker discussed how the city gets his body in terms of picking up the trash only, and only during work hours:

“I get to keep my body. What happens when I go home from work? What if I had a side effect? They act like that doesn’t exist! Hey, sweep it under the rug! People are getting hurt from this. If there is a risk of death, adverse reactions of any kind, how do you sit there and support this? It’s sinister. It’s demonic. And you take people’s jobs.”

(According to the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System–a voluntary reporting system known as VAERS–there were 1, 341,608 Adverse events among all age groups following covid vaccination, including 29,460 deaths and 243, 466 serious injuries between December 14, 2020 and July 8, 2020)

He goes on:

“How can I work amongst these people? I’m traumatized. This is the hardest thing I had to do in my life. It took a lot of courage and faith and listening to my intuition, my faith, ok? “There’s something wrong here. Stay away from this. It’s gonna be hard for you but you’re gonna find your way.”

And that’s what I did. I followed the thing inside me. I didn’t follow the TV, the media, the lie. I just listened to my inner voice. Everybody here probably did the same thing. I stuck to my convictions, my principles and my morals and my faith. “

And you were victorious. Congratulations.

Gov. Hochul’s Quarantine Camp Regulation

Rule 2.13 was first “adopted” by the New York State Health Department on March 9, 2020. It gave the NY State Health Commissioner complete and total power to remove, isolate and quarantine a person if the State “had evidence” or “suspected” a person of having a communicable disease (no evidence of illness or contagion needed). Whether or not there was a “declared emergency.”

This regulation kept renewing every 90 days and was due to expire on July 20, 2022. NY Governor Kathy Hochul sought to make it permanent. She was immediately challenged in a lawsuit by NY State Senator George Borello and two other Assemblymen.

People in Australia have been force-quarantined for weeks (without even testing positive for covid). That means taken away by police and forced to stay in a “camp” (or pay a $5,000 fine).

Just last month in China, “health officials” tried to lock customers in an Ikea store, because a 6 year old, covid-positive (and asymptomatic) boy had recently visited. There was a stampede to the doors and the “flash lockdown” was unsuccessful. But thanks to contact tracing, everybody at the store was forced to quarantine at home for two days, and 80,000 were ordered to undergo PCR-testing.

A few more highlights from Rule 2.13:

Quarantine locations include homes, hospitals, temporary housing supplied by the state, hotels and other residences owned by private individuals.
“If the location of the isolation or quarantine orders is owned by a landlord, hotel, motel or other person or entity,” those owners lose the right to go onto their property unless they have permission from the State.
The duration of the quarantine is determined by the State, with no time limit.
A person under a quarantine order could “seek judicial review” after-the-fact, but in the meantime, was “subject to all civil and criminal penalties” if they resisted the order or failed to comply. In other words, the detainee would be denied due process of law (a Constitutional right enjoyed by all Americans including criminals).
State and local health authorities were expected to coordinate with local law enforcement to ensure the public’s compliance with the orders.

A lawyer named Bobbie Ann Cox successfully overturned this regulation in a Judgement made on July 8, 2022.

Governor Hochul and NY Attorney General Tisch James are appealing the decision of Judge Ronald Ploetz of Cattaraugus County. They would like Rule 2.13 reinstated.

Judge Ploetz wrote in his decision, “The Commissioner (of the New York State Department of Health) has unfettered discretion to issue a quarantine or isolation for anyone, even if there is no evidence that person is infected or a carrier of the disease. Further, the Commissioner sets the terms, duration, and location of the detention, not an independent magistrate as required by PHL 2120.” (PHL 2120 is an existing law that allows for a process of isolation and quarantine, and does not circumvent Constitutional due process.)

Michael Kane of Teachers for Choice and other Medical Freedom advocates held a Rally and “Educational Protest” last month in Harlem to inform New Yorkers of this unlawful regulation, and that their Governor would like to reinstate it.

Nobody they spoke on the street knew about it, and almost everyone was shocked and even scared once they did know.

WHO IS DR. PAUL MARIK?

Dr. Paul Marik is 63 years old. He is an endowed professor of Medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, VA, where is he also the Chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. He is the most widely cited physician-scholar on the planet (over 18,000 citations) with regard to critical care and emergency medicine, having published 524 papers on these topics.

Dr. Marik is a critical care doctor at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. In fact, he is the longtime director of the hospital’s intensive care unit. Dr. Marik is also a founding member of the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance. He and four other doctors (soon joined by many others) formed an alliance early on in the pandemic to re-purpose existing FDA-approved drugs to treat Covid. They were successful in their mission.

Ivermectin was one drug that the FLCCC found to be very effective, especially when used as an early treatment at the first sign of illness or a positive covid test result. It kept many many people out of the hospital and off of ventilators. If you visit FLCCC.net you will find an abundance of data and studies supporting its use.

Dr. Marik has been using ivermectin, as well as other FDA-approved drugs to treat his patients at the hospital for months. Those drugs include Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) IV, bicalutamide, dutasteride, finasteride and fluvoxamine.

According to an article in The Virginian Pilot, Dr. Marik is suing the hospital. Hospital “officials” told this eminent physician with decades of ER and critical care experience to stop using these medicines. In September, they banned him from using his successful treatment protocols. Why? Because the government warns against using these drugs that existed before Covid, to treat Covid.

Inconveniently, Dr. Marik found that some of these drugs (including ivermectin) to be highly effective treatments for Covid before the vaccines were rolled out.

The Emergency Use Authorization for the covid vaccines could not have been justified if there were already effective treatments available for the disease.

I’ll let you connect the dots.

Hospital “officials” and government bureacrats are getting in between doctors and their patients. They are telling doctors to stop doctoring; using their experience, knowledge and research to come up with treatment protocols. Doctors who disobey the government and continue to act in their patient’s best interests are punished, forced to deprive their patients of drugs they know will help them, even save their lives.

“This is not normal,” said Dr. Marik. “It’s cruel and unusual punishment.”

This is our country now. Where doctors are expected to treat patients according to what hospital “officials” think is best.

For the government.
