Very interesting.
“President Duterte gave anti-vaxxers two choices: get anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin or leave the country since they don’t want to join the country’s COVID-19 vaccination program.”
The media is completely agenda-driven. And, the Leftist agenda is, there is no choice but the Gov’t approved Jab. No other remedy is valid. And, any info validating such remedies will be squelched and the proponents utterly destroyed.
Only the official Gov’t approved Jabs are to be mentioned AND they Must Be Championed no matter what. Period. End of story!
That said, Duterte is a Hothead Dictator Wannabe.
Excellent observation.
Very true!
Yep. My Filipina sister-in-law and her family all love Duterte and Trump.
I have declined the vax here in the Philippines specifically because of comorbidities but also because more than 50% of the vax are the Sinovac or the other Chinese vax. I don’t trust the Chinese vax. The pressure is not high in the provinces but Metro Manila is the center of government and a lot more susceptible to political pressure.
Nope, Duterte didn’t really like Trump, he had to distance himself during meeting in Manila. Duterte has been trying to impress China to getting the Philippines in to the debt-trap diplomacy.
There’s that 1.7 per cent figure again...
Out of every 100 cases of covid...about 1.7 percent can be expected to die.
Now we are talking about confirmed cases, we are not talking about those who never got the disease or will never get the disease or who had it but never knew they had it...the death numbers would push the mortality rates as compared against the entire populations alive to a very low number. No, I’m talking about the per case mortality rates which were still high enough to cause disruptions in many hospitals at the peaking of the covid sick numbers.
No one knew how bad it would truly get and our hospitals, operating on “just in time” supply margins and keeping staff levels tight to maximize profits were caught with their pants down. Our entire economy was disrupted over the need to keep our under resourced and over leveraged hospitals functioning lest death rates from other causes added to the covid death rates spiral beyond what even the politicians and the citizens would tolerate,while potentially turning our hospitals into absolute nonfunctioning charnel houses.
Covid is a potentially dangerous bug, that is...if one were to catch it at a certain age and having certain co-morbidities. It’s presentation in the body makes it unique from regular flu bugs. Yet our leaders did not handle this properly and too many people were playing political games, even so called trusted medical people and scientists. So our responses were muddled, confused and in many cases designed to inflict maximal political damage on our country and its institutions. They were will willing to peddle death and misery, all to try and rid themselves of politicians they hated. I will never forget what they did!
I think Sweden had the right ideas about how to deal with the virus without disrupting its economy.
Great catch. Ivermectin is a perfect fit for the Philippines. You're exactly right, the media (including international) don't want to mention cheap, safe, reliable alternatives to the experimental russian-roulette "vaccine".
You shouldn't trust ANY "vaccine". Because none of them are proven "safe and effective" and ALL of them are experimental.
Ivermectin and HCQ are safe, and as we see from monitored trial use outside the USA, effective.
