See the effect of Trump Derangement Syndrome combined with hysterical media reporting and politicized science on the Covid mortality rate in Switzerland. The graphs are below.

STACEY LENNOX:

“…Such was the fate of the hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, and zinc combination. Scientifically there was every reason to believe it would work. Clinically, doctors saw results when directly treating patients. Several recommended that the drug be produced in sufficient amounts and given early and outpatient.

President Trump expressed optimism based on studies in France and China, and the media freaked out. The president’s political opposition would go on to cling to any proof the drug would not work and suppress any information that it would. This politicization culminated in the horrific study published by Lancet that the publication quietly retracted.

However, the damage was already done. The World Health Organization suspended trials immediately after the study published in Lancet. Switzerland, which had been using the treatment, prohibited the use of the drug in COVID-19 shortly after that on May 27th. The retraction was so stealth that the ban was not lifted in Switzerland until June 11th.

This window allowed French researchers to analyze what happened in the entire population of COVID-19 patients during the ban. They used the case fatality rate (CFR) as the measure observed. The graph is stunning

It also the only period where the Swiss CFR approached or exceeded that in France where there has been no use of hydroxychloroquine outside a few isolated trials.

Listen to this man. This is how you play sports. This is how you conduct business. You play to win, or you don’t play. Rose should be in the hall of fame.

Contrast this with the age of participation trophies.

Politics and unanticipated economic response to government policies.

I congratulate Tommy Tuberville for his primary victory.

I feel bad for Jeff Sessions, who I think is a good man that got caught up in deep state machinations.

The county Board of Education in Orange County, Calif., on Monday night voted to approve school reopening recommendations that do not require masks for students or social distancing in schools.

A good decision. Not a difficult one.

Viacom CBS announced late on Tuesday evening that they had terminated their relationship with entertainer Nick Cannon.

Did the Times Print an Urban Legend?

Michael Brendan Dougherty:

“…This week, the Times brings us a story from Methodist Hospital in San Antonio. The headline is: “Texas Hospital Says Man, 30, Died After Attending a ‘Covid Party,’” and what we get is a story with one source.

The story reveals itself in three paragraphs:

A 30-year-old man who believed the coronavirus was a hoax and attended a “Covid party” died after being infected with the virus, according to the chief medical officer at a Texas hospital.

The official, Dr. Jane Appleby of Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, said the man died after deliberately attending a gathering with an infected person to test whether the coronavirus was real.

In her statements to news organizations, Dr. Appleby said the man had told his nurse that he attended a Covid party. Just before he died, she said the patient told his nurse: “I think I made a mistake. I thought this was a hoax, but it’s not.”

The story has real didactic power in the current environment, illustrating perhaps four points of contention:

1) A young person

2) in a red state

3) believed the virus was a hoax

4) and failed to socially distance.

As a result, he’s dead…”

Click over for the whole thing. Looks like it is a fake and the Times is doing their best to cover it up.

“…A woman who claimed to be a teacher assaulted a man and spat in his face when he took his mask off while exiting a Costco store in Illinois, police said.

Elizabeth Mach, 45, allegedly approached a 50-year-old man after he removed his face covering while leaving a Costco store in Mettawa in Lake County, on June 16, the Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday…”

That woman is a witch! Another Democrat off her meds.

Cedric Charles Moore, 27, walked into the Scott County Sheriff’s Office and “turned himself in peacefully,” the Cape Girardeau PD posted on Facebook. Moore was charged with second-degree felony assault and first-degree felony child endangerment. The boy suffered a broken nose and concussion from the ambush. He was not charged with a hate crime, apparently. Watch the video and see what you think. Black American racist.
